“Ok. Thank you so much for everything that you’ve done for me. You helped me so much especially when I was having a hard time adjusting to life on this island. I won’t be working here at the bar anymore, but you can come visit me at the office…if you’re free…” I thanked him sincerely.
“You’re welcomed. Please take care of yourself. I’ll drop by to see you at the office sometime. Hopefully, Knight wouldn’t mind too much…” Charles said before he started laughing.
It was a relief that this conversation with Charles didn’t turn out as suffocatingly difficult as I had anticipated.
“Please drop by. I…don’t want us to end up as nothing more than strangers. So please, keep in touch,” I said perhaps a little too desperately.
Charles just laughed at me before he smiled reassuringly. Although I did ask him to keep in touch, I wasn’t sure how much our lives would overlap now that I won’t be working at the bar and Charles usually didn’t come too often to the office.
