Chapter 4 - Change of working hours
"Ah… so tasty." His gaze shifted to the large window behind his workplace. She can see a beautiful view of a dense city, but in some gaps, some trees make an exciting impression even though it is in a densely populated city.
"Is all my stuff safe there?"
"Before I came here, there was news of theft in the area where I live now."
[Humph…]
'I want to hurry home.'
Not long after, there was another knock on the door. Adelia, who was surprised, was a little confused about where she should be. She had time to fix herself, which was a little messy.
"Yes, please come in." grip the water bottle. The maid who had led her came to tell Adelia that she could return now. Getting the news relieved, she immediately rushed to pack up, tidying up her belongings.
Adelia found the letter she had not opened and looked at its contents.
'Break me. What if this is another pile of errands?'
She immediately took the paper, put it in the bag, and followed the maid behind. Because the hill she stepped on was one of the highest places, Adelia's eyes glared at the sunlight that penetrated her workplace.
'Like a bat that never sees the sun.' She laughed to herself, and the maid saw her strange behavior. The limousine was right in front of the walkway exit, the door wide open as if to welcome him.
She, who was confused by the luxury vehicle, was speechless.
"Please go up, miss." Said the driver, who looked very classy in front of him.
"No need. I can walk alone to the main road. You don't have to take me." Adelia replied, feeling burdened.
"This is part of our job, and the employees are treated, lady." The middle-aged man did not raise his head to speak informally to Adelia. She felt uncomfortable being treated like she objected.
Plus, there were only his luxurious villa and workspace far apart. There are no offices or tall buildings, and even employees pass by while they are there. Working in a place like this alone made Adelia feel strange. Especially with that white car without a scratch now.
"It's okay, uncle. I can walk alone. It's close to here, anyway."
He laughed. Hearing Adelia's words like that, she glimpsed the look on her face that looked down on him.
"Sorry for my impoliteness, Ms. But sorry in advance, the area here is enough to make you arrive at the main road at midnight."
She couldn't help it, and from the start, she rode in the same car. Adelia didn't have time to see the route or the scenery because she was too scared to sit next to this strange person. A cursory thought made his hair stand on end.
"Okay."
Adelia was amazed by the interior. That car gave a luxurious ride that went fast, even though she didn't feel the slightest shaking while sitting there. The cold air conditioner and good air circulation made her feel sleepy. The seat cushions and barrier between her and the driver felt like a private room.
"Miss… miss…" she heard a voice and woke herself up. A screen shows someone worried about him. She frantically responds to a call for him.
"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, uncle. Sorry I overslept."
"Thank goodness you're okay. We've arrived at the apartment."
Adelia rushed out. The people living there were staring at her. She was a little uncomfortable with the sight. A guard at the place greeted him.
"New resident?"
"Yes, sir."
"What number?" Adelia's questions are pretty annoying because these are personal matters. She just smiled at him and immediately left.
When she arrived at her apartment, she wanted a quick rest. Throwing things that have accompanied her since this morning, the room looks messy. After cleaning herself up, she opened her phone to see any messages she might have missed.
As usual, she only got messages from the company where she used to work. A sudden feeling made Adelia excited, and she sat on her bed.
[I heard you moved to Las Vegas. Why did you go too far?]
Adelia immediately replied to her old message later.
[You don't know what I went through before]
[How was your wedding?] the message immediately replied.
[Are you stupid, or don't you care about me anymore?] Adelia's face was annoyed again, and she got up from where she went to get some light snacks near the bedroom window.
[Haha haha… it's not like that. I'm just curious. How about we meet now? I was so happy when I heard you had moved to this city. Are you following me?]
The snacks that Adelia had bitten spilled in all directions, impatient to beat up the annoying man.
[I'm fine, but I haven't gotten paid to meet in a fancy place just yet]
The message that replies only shows a location close to where he is. Adelia immediately packed up and left her apartment. She was already at a Word street restaurant that sold food for passing vehicles with only a walk.
A bunch of big motorbikes was parked neatly outside the place, where people enjoyed a festive party. There were many glasses of birds and alcohol on the large tables. It was the first time Adelia had come to the place, and she had to be able to maintain good manners when meeting strangers later.
Luckily, the drunken visitor didn't look at him. She looked for a familiar figure close to the entrance of Adelia to find a silver-haired man sitting against the bartender's table.
The man waved his hand, pointing at him. Adelia quickly approached him.
"Hey, don't get drunk just yet." He said mockingly.
"I just ordered it. What do you want?" asked the man, inviting Adelia to sit next to him.
"I just want a soda," Adelia answered, fixing the cloth around her shoulders. The smell of the cigarette smoke of the man sitting next to him made him uncomfortable.
"Hey, how about we move." Said the man.
