I nodded. My heart felt warm from his words. With the tears brimming in my eyes, I forced a smile, “Yeah, okay!”
After a pause, I continued, “I’m planning to go back during the upcoming public holiday!”
He furrowed his brows, “You haven’t fully recovered yet!”
“I’m all better now!” I always felt that he was treating me like a porcelain doll. I said helplessly, “I had been resting for the past two months. Moreover, I can rest in K City too. I can find a job that is not so tiring.”
He gave some thought and nodded, “Fine. But you don’t have to rush for the job. I will settle it for you. I have houses in the city too. I’ll find a nearby house after knowing your workplace’s location.”
I wanted to reject him, but he interrupted, “Just nice there are vacancies in my company. Since you think you owe me a favor, you can come and help out. Also, I’m going to collect rent from you too. I’ll deduct ten percent of your salary for the rent.”
I was speechless and said helplessly, “I still have some savings. You don’t have to do this for me. Anyways, I was planning to find something else to do.”
“Yes, I know!” He seemed a little angry knowing that I was rejecting him.
I did not say much after looking at him.
Whatever. The White family’s business was big. If he really had the heart to help me, it will be easier for me in the future too.
After I made the decision and had dinner, he asked someone to pack up. We were ready to leave tomorrow morning.
The next day.
The daylight came later in the late autumn. The sky slowly turned bright only at seven.
I woke up early to clean up. By the time I was done, Marcus was already waiting downstairs.
Noticing my arrival, he kept his phone and spoke, “Grab a quick bite. We will set off after you’re done eating!”
I nodded in response and nibbled on some bread. He knew that I didn’t usually eat much, so he furrowed his brows as he looked at me dine, but he didn’t say much.
After bringing me to the car, he started the engine and passed me a notebook, “I found a few job positions that suit you. Take a look and let me know which do you prefer. I will settle it. You can start working after the holidays!”
I flipped open the notebook, and the neat handwriting first came into sight. I took a look. He had listed around ten job positions, and they were all easy jobs.
I furrowed my brows, “Can I do projects? Or you can put me under the project management department. I’m fine with starting from the bottom!”
He nodded, “Alright. The project director just went home after an accident. You can replace him.”
