âIâve got a friend whoâs gone overseas, and she wants me to rent out her house for her Arabella mentioned offhand. âPrice isnât really the issue, she mainly wants someone who will take care of the place like she does.â
âWeâll definitely take good care of it!â Molly quickly responded, spotting a glimmer of hope.
Arabella calmly added, âThe house is nearby too, so itâs convenient for work.â
âMs. Bennett, weâve already checked out places in the area, and thereâs nothing else around thatâs as cheap as this one,â Molly expressed her concern of setting the price too low making it hard to explain to her friend.
âMy friend has already said that price isnât an issue,â Arabella glanced at the time, âIâve got some stuff to deal with now. Dean will help you move when he gets back. I need to ask my friend for the exact address, she mentioned it last time and Iâve forgotten.â
âMs. Bennettâ¦â Molly was at a loss for how to thank her.
Ins even stood up, âBella, youâve helped us twice now, we donât know how to repay you, thank you so much!â
âNo need to repay.â Arabella smiled, âJust live well, live better than those people, thatâs the best way to repay me, and yourselves.â
Ins seemed moved.
âThatâs settled then.â
Arabella left and got into her car. She opened her phone and looked through her properties, selecting the smallest one located downtown.
It was a threeâbedroom apartment, beautifully decorated, about 90 square meters.
Arabella sent the details to Dean, âWhen I get to the River Bank Cafe, you can help them move.
âSure thing, Ms. Bennett.â
McMillian Corporationâs CEO office.
Romeo had checked his phone countless times, with nothing new on the screen except for a girlâs photo.
âIs there a problem with the internet?â Romeo looked at his fullâbar WiFi signal, suspecting a network issue. He turned to Carl, âSend me a message.â
âHuh?â Carl didnât understand Romeoâs request, âWhat?â
Whatâs the point of sending a message when theyâre right next to each other? Why not just talk?
Although he thought this, Carl respectfully asked, âWhat should I send, Mr. McMillian?â
âAnything.â
âThen Iâll send an emoji.â Carl sent a smiling face, which Romeo received immediately So there was no issue with the internet or the signal. That girl just hadnât messaged him! So he hadnât received anything!
âWhy are you sending smiling faces during work hours?â Romeo felt like the emoji was mocking him, âIâll donate your bonus this month.â
Carlâs eyes widened. What? Mr. McMillian, wasnât it you who told me to send it? Didnât you say I could send anything? Whatâs so offending about this smiling face?
Romeo opened the chat box. His last conversation with Bella was around six in the morning when Bella told him to rest first, saying they would meet soon.
She seemed so concerned about him, yet why was she nowhere to be found once work started?
