I sat down with Charles at his table while we waited for our orders to arrive. Charles seemed to be in a decently good mood while the same couldn’t be said about me. The whole issue with Reiner at work was stressing me out quite badly. It was fortunate that I had this job at the bar to run to for comfort so that I felt like my life was still useful. When I first got a job here, it was mainly to earn some money so that I could support myself and work towards moving out of the mansion. However, this job at the bar along with the people here made me feel like I had a place to belong.
“What are you thinking about? You don’t seem so cheerful today,” Charles asked as he stared at me from across the table.
If he’s saying that then I guess my efforts in trying to act normal wasn’t really paying off. It was like he could tell right away that I had something troubling on my mind and he was right.
“I’m finding my new job a little tough actually…” I confessed a little shyly.
