"Go ahead." I was slightly different from the man. Like Eliakem, he is also handsome, but I think Jacob is more appealing than Eliakem. He also knows how to smile, unlike my Boss who always frowns.
We ate inside the conference room. Even though the food on the table was delicious, I didn't enjoy it much. It's hard to eat in front of a handsome man I just saw. It's tense to swallow!
"Don't you like fast food?" He asked after he noticed that I wasn't that enthusiastic about food.
"I really like it but the way you look at me is strange," I told him and he just laughed out loud.
"You're a joker. Just call me when you're done and I'll take you home," he said.
"Don't bother," I answered.
"I insist," he insisted.
I didn't argue with the man any more so that I could leave his office immediately. I still have a lot to do and if I don't hurry, midnight might catch up with me.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, when I was done with all the things he made me do, I immediately called him to say that I was done. He told me that he would take me home, but he just booked a grab car for me.
When I got home, I went straight to my room to rest. Skincare? Maybe next time because I'm too tired from my work! Who doesn't? When I got into bed, I fell asleep in less than five minutes.
Then... suddenly someone called and the caller didn't want to hang up!
I immediately felt the cold as I reached for my ringing cellphone. Because I was so tired because of the amount of work Boss had me do that's why Karl and I didn't talk anymore before I went to sleep.
"Hello?" I said to answer the call. I know it was Karl who called me because he was the only one allowed to disturb me in my sleep.
“Hi, Honey, did I disturb you? I'm sorry," said Karl on the other line.
When I heard his voice, my spirit immediately woke up. I miss him so much. I got up and leaned against the headboard of my big one bed and then opened the lampshade.
"As long as you are the one calling me, hon, there is no problem. Anytime you can call me and I don't care even if I'm sleepy. That's how much I love you, eh. Wait, why did you call? It's two o'clock in the morning, ah!”
"Didn't I mention to you that my brother's birthday is coming up? Yesterday was his birthday so I brought him and his friends. We are at the bar," answered Karl.
"Just say happy birthday to your brother, how old is he?" I asked because I don't know his brother personally yet. Karl and I have been together for a few months but we haven't gotten to the point where he would introduce me to his parents.
"Nineteen," Karl answered briefly and I heard his loud sigh on the other line.
"Do you have a problem?" I immediately asked him.
"Mmm, my ATM suddenly made an error and I have to pay our bill here at HIGH FIVE. Maybe you have extra money, let me borrow it first and I'll just return it to you as soon as my card is fine," he said.
I looked up at the ceiling for a moment because it is not new to me that he borrows money whenever there is an occasion or maybe an emergency.
"Haven't we already agreed on such things? Please just ask for HIGH FIVE's bank account and I will transfer it right away,” I told him.
"Okay, just a moment my honey," he said in a soft voice.
A few minutes later the man was back on the line. "What did the manager say?" I asked him again.
"The manager is not here, and the staff won’t give me the bank details. Hon, what shall I do?”
"Calm down there first and I'll think of a way," I said. "Hmmm, please ask your friends if they have an ATM with them and I'll just transfer it to them? The one with the master card logo so you don't have to withdraw outside coz’ it's dangerous," I reminded him.
"Just a moment and I'll ask Nikki."
When I heard the name of one of his companions, I was suddenly alarmed. I know the two have been friends for a long time but I'm still not satisfied that they are always together. I don't know but I don't like that girl will get close to Karl.
"I've found someone, I'll just text the account details on the messenger," said Karl and my messenger immediately rang when I received his message.
I read the name on the card and immediately looked it up on social media. Not that I doubted but I just wanted to see the man's appearance. Fortunately, it turned out to be just a colleague at work.
"How much is your bill there?"
"Nine thousand plus," answered the man.
"Okay, I will transfer the ten thousand to his account. Just a minute,” I said and immediately opened an app where I could transfer money to anyone. "I'm done honey."
"Thank you, my God, without you, I don't know what would happen to me today. I'm sure the police will call me. Hon, excuse me first, I'll just pay at the counter."
"Alright," I said.
