While I was waiting for his return, I kept looking at my cellphone because the call would be cut off after twelve minutes. That's the trend with unli calls promo for prepaid subscribers. I used to be a postpaid subscriber but I decided to cut if off due to personal reasons.
The call was about to hang up but Karl still didn't get back on the line. I thought he was going to call again when the call was disconnected but he seems to have forgotten about me. He never called again and when I tried to contact his cell phone number I couldn't reach him either. I just thought that his phone just died. Low battery maybe.
I sighed heavily as I got up and left the room. I'm alone at home and I don't have a helper because I can do everything from cleaning, cooking and washing my clothes.
When I passed by the empty room, a co-worker told me that I could rent it out so that it would be useful and have extra income. He suggested I sign up for AirBNB. The truth is that I have already signed up but I have not yet decided if I will continue. I'm still busy with my work and I won't be able to take care of the guests if there are any.
I got off and went to the kitchen to make myself some coffee. When my eyes passed the wall clock hanging on the wall near the dining room, I gave up on waiting for Karl’s phone call.
While waiting for the water to boil in the heater, I also made a grilled cheese sandwich. Ever since I tasted the grilled cheese at Orange Brutus, it has become my favorite.
At exactly three o'clock in the morning I was eating grilled cheese and drinking coffee. I know it's not allowed to sigh while eating because grace is said to go away but I can't stop myself.
While eating, it occurred to me again to smoke just n from my work. The salary is high but my job is very stressful especially when the quarterly meeting or maybe the annual meeting is approaching. I had tons of financial reports to complete and to be honest I had a hard time covering up the anomalies in the office.
I know it's wrong but it's unfair because our Big Boss wants to take everything from the branch. If I didn't really feel sorry for the people who worked so hard to make the company a lot of money, I wouldn't agree to what he made me do.
Should I just resign?
If I continue to rent out the vacant room, I will make some money, but the question is, is it stable? While I was sighing steadily in front of the cooling coffee, I thought of visiting my Wattpad account. It's been a few years and the stories are still ongoing because I don't have time to finish them.
My nose immediately snorted when I read the comments. He said there was no point, he said I should just stop writing, and plow the field. What do they care about my personal life?
While I was thinking of nice words on how to overcome that girl's look, it suddenly occurred to me that she was right. Maybe I really need to resign in order to focus on writing!
“This is it!”
I said to myself while writing a resignation letter for my immediate head.
CHAPTER 4
I didn't realize that I had been staring at my cellphone screen for hours. No more, eh. I have sent the resignation letter to my boss. Even if the effectiveness of the resignation is not immediate, I know Madam will not immediately agree to my leaving.
Anyway, I still have three months with the company and my decision to venture into another industry is irrevocable. Also, I really want to finish at least one story.
I ran out of time to reflect and the coffee got cold because I didn't pay attention to him for a while. I just brewed something new because I didn't want to go back to sleep. I will seriously consider finding a guest in the extra room at home.
I have added details to the website to make it easier to notice and I have also uploaded pictures. My friend who is also renting an extra room said that I will just wait for the booking.
It's almost four o'clock and I still haven't heard from Karl. I tried to call him again but his number is still out of coverage. I just gave up and forced myself not to think too much about the man.
I was about to go up to the second floor when someone rang the doorbell. I was suddenly nervous because I didn't expect any visitors. However, I slowly approached the door and felt who was outside.
When the doorbell rang again, I opened the window to peek at who was outside and my eyes widened when I recognized the person outside.
I quickly opened the door and ran to the gate. "Hon, what happened?" I immediately asked him when he entered.
"It's a mess at home today, can I sleep here first now? It's the weekend, huh."
"Are you sure you can just sleep?" I asked him.
