Come With Me novel Chapter 24

I raised my head as he looked at me, "my thing is the one you can't see. It's really obscure."

He looked down at me, who was sitting on the ground. "Will you find that tears won't run out so easily when you look up?"

I was surprised and looked at Robbie.

Then, Robbie stood straight, threw away the cigarette butt and walked towards his car.

"Come with me."

I stood up, but I didn't move. "Where are you going?"

"A place where you don't need to sleep on the streets. Weigh the pros and cons."

When I was considering whether to go or not, two drunken men came over, supporting each other with humming.

Although they just cast a glance at me, their creepy smile reminded me of that night.

After Robbie got into his car, I was so afraid that he would run away and I ran to him at once.

She grabbed the door handle and got in the car after hesitating for a while.

We didn't say anything on the way. Robbie drove all the way and finally stopped in a high-end neighborhood.

"What is this place?"

Robbie took me to a well decorated duplex apartment on the floor.

Robbie turned on the light in the room and said, "a friend of mine is going abroad now. When he was leaving, he asked me to find someone to take care of it for him."

Robbie took me to know the layout of the room. "The master bedroom is my friend's and it should be cleaned every day. Don't move in. You can choose one of the other two guest rooms that you like to stay."

I watched Robbie in this room with his back. I didn't know if what happened in front of me was just his gift or help. I didn't know whether I should accept it.

I felt a little relieved until I saw the photos of the master in the master bedroom and the study room.

"The owner is very picky about the room. So you has to clean every room and clean every corner of it. As you only takes care of the house, he doesn't pay much money. He will only pay three thousand a month. If you can accept it, you can live here today. I have told him your situation, so he agreed to give you half of your salary in advance for temporary use."

As soon as Robbie stopped, I stood up too. "Thank you, thank you for helping me find a job."

Instead of responding to me, Robbie only took a look at his watch.

"The owner is abroad. Here's your wage card. He has already paid you 1500. The rest part, including your salary afterwards, will be paid today every month. The password is the same as the lock of this house. I will write the number on the Notepad, and you can see it on the fridge door."

Robbie said while handing the card over to me. As soon as I took the card, Robbie turned around and left.

I stood in front of the window of the 32 floor room, overlooking the city's dim lights. The scenery here was different from that of the Luo family.

Here had a big warm bed and I didn't need to sleep on the sofa, nor did I need to look at the eyes of others. I could make money by my own work. My mother wasn't here, but Rogelio wasn't here either.

The next morning, I got up early, and I carefully cleaned every room as required by Robbie, making every corner spotless.

The apartment was really large, with more than 200 square meters. It would take three or four hours to finish it.

Suddenly, there was a ringtone in the room. I looked for it for a while and found that it was from the desk in the study.

I thought the call was from the master's house. But when I got closer, I realized it was a video call from a tablet.

After some hesitation, I answered the call.

The clear picture showed the face of a handsome man.

"Hello."

Because I saw the photos in the bedroom, I knew that he was the owner of the house and also my employer.

I saw the camera and greeted politely, "hello."
