"Hello, I am Trixie Kim. You are Haru Webb, right?" I answered him,
"How do you know my name?" He asked,
"I did some research." I curled up the corner of my lips, showing a slight smile,
"Whatever, just give me the watch." Haru ordered me,
"What's the hurry, let's have a talk somewhere." I pulled out a request,
"No thanks, I have to find a home for me to live in. I don't have any time for your nonsense." He seemed kind of a grumpy person,
"Alright, no need to get all worked up. Just give me your number. You can atleast do that right?" I asked. He took my phone and typed in his number and saved it as 'Mr. Haru'. "Happy? Now, I have to go." He went away in his car after I handed him boom.
I went home after he left. When I reached home, my mom scolded me "Where in the world were you, and why weren't you picking up your calls? Your manager called and told me to tell you to call immediately when you come home.",
"I was in the library, just went there to freshen up, so my phone was on silent, don't worry. I'll go to my room now." I said,
"But what about dinner?" She asked,
"I'll eat when I'm hungry." I went to my room and called my manager, "What was the important thing?" I asked her, and I told my manager on the call to hire the girl, Aisa Williams for the personal assistant's post and tell her to join from tomorrow, I had made this decision as she would be a good company for me and Eros would've been a distraction for me because of his cuteness, I blushed,
"But ma'am you won't be there after tomorrow" she said,
"What do you mean?" I asked,
"Ma'am, you will have to move out from your house for couple of months." She continued, "You have a company project for which you will have to live in a shared room which they've arranged for you.",
"A shared room? Why? Why can't I live in hotel?" I asked,
"Ma'am, the other party has arranged this for you, it wasn't me. And I can't refuse them." She answered,
"Where is it? And how many people do I have to share a room with?" I asked again,
"It's a place a bit far away from here. You will have a single roommate for a month." She answered me,
"Two months?! Isn't this a bit too much? How can any project last a month?!" I said,
"This project is worth this, I am just conveying the information they gave me, I know nothing else than that. I will transfer you all the information by tomorrow with all other details you will need. I'll take your leave now." She ended the phone call.
"Now this is too much, how am I supposed to live away from home for a whole month?" I sighed. I crashed on my bed and slept after staring at the ceiling for some time and giving all this a thought.
The next day, I read the information which my manager sent me. I saw the information of the shared room, the name of my roommate was "Eros White?! How is he my roommate? Did he get another job? How can he be my roommate?!" I read further and saw "And Haru Webb?! Our neighbour?! How?" I immediately called my manager "Change my room!" I ordered,
"I'm afraid I can't do that, that dorm is the client's relative's place, so we can't do anything ma'am." She answered,
"So you come stay with me. I can't share a room with a boy! And that too whom I interviewed recently!" I said.
"Sorry ma'am, I am going on a vacation because I have no use there." She refused.
"But why did you give me neighbour's information?" I asked,
"I gave all the neighbour's information just in case. Is there any problem ma'am?" She asked me,
"No, I just asked.",
"Ma'am, I have to pack now, can I go?" She asked me for permission,
"Alright! Go!" I ended the call and got all tensed.
"What am I supposed to do now!?". I rested on my spongy bed and continued to read, I had to leave in the early morning of the next day. I went to my office to sort things out and explained everything to Aisa and left my manager in charge even though she refused but she was the only one I trusted the most with the company and Aisa was going to handle some of my work. I left after handling all the things and went home to pack my bags. I packed all my clothes, yes, all my clothes and my wardrobe was now empty. My mom kept stuffing all the useless things, "Mom! I won't need these, they will provide me everything there, you need not to worry about me." I said,
"But what if you feel hungry on the way and what if that dorm is very messy and dirty, you should book a hotel." Mom told me,
"No mom, I've seen the dorm and checked everything.", "I'll have to book a hotel though." I murmured to myself,
"Did you say something else sweetie?" Mom asked,
"No mom, nothing. Let's pack my bags fast and go somewhere together and have some fun." I wanted to spend some time with my mom as I was not going to be with her for a month. We completed all the packing work and went to amusement park together, we really enjoyed because this was first time I went to amusement park after my father died. My mom seemed to enjoy too and I was also really happy after spending this wonderful time. We went home because we both were tired. I slept instantly after lying on my bed.
I had to leave next day. My mom cried and I told her "I'll be back early, if you have any emergency, just call me alright." After consoling her, The driver loaded my bags in the trunk of the car and I left after waving my hand to my mom. "What?! Why?! How?!" I was shocked after seeing Haru Webb in my car, "How can he be in the car with me?" I kept staring at him with wide eyes and he saw me so I said "Oh! Hello Haru, how are you here?" I felt a bit uncomfortable because he caught me staring at him,
"This is my car." He sounded like he didn't want any conversation,
"But why are you here?" I was dead curious to know that how he ended here, he tapped on his servant's shoulder and his servant started to speak,
"Mr. Haru is son of the company's owner with whom you are going to do the project, so he had been asked to pick you up." The servant explained to me.
"Why is he living in the dorm then?" I asked, the servant looked at Haru and said "We have arrived at the station ma'am, let me get your bags." He avoided my question.
It was quite nice weather, as it was early morning, the sun was rising and was rich red colour also I was able to look at the sun, not completely, the birds were chirping and there was fresh air carrying the smell of wet soil. There were less people because it was early morning, I was just gazing in the sky, looking at the beautiful clouds. The train had arrived and we all boarded the train. I was looking out of the window through whole journey because no one was talking and it became ackward, Haru and his servant had their eyes on their phones and my phone had low battery because I had forgotten to charge it. The scenery outside was more refreshing than the atmosphere inside the train. "We have arrived ma'am" the servant informed me,
"This soon?" I asked,
"It's been 3 hours since we boarded the train ma'am" he said,
"3 hours?! Time passes quickly indeed." I thought,
"Oh, alright." I said, we all took our luggage and headed for the dorm in the company's car. We arrived the dorm in half an hour, we unloaded our luggages and when I saw the building where our dorms were I said,
"This is the dorm we are going to stay in?!"
