After finishing work, Dorie went directly to her shop. She was busy all the way until nighttime, and she went home after that.
Right after she went back to her apartment, she went to the unit for rent in the lower floor.
When Dorie reached there, the two landlords were about to leave.
When the elderly couple saw Dorie, they were stunned.
Dorie was a little embarrassed as she looked at them, "Are you guys leaving now?"
The couple nodded, "Yeah, our flight is tonight and we are heading to the airport now!"
"May I ask if you have rented your unit?" Dorie asked.
"Not yet, we are in a hurry and we didn't manage to rent it out!"
"Then can you rent it to me?" Dorie asked immediately.
The elderly couple looked at Dorie, "Didn't you live just upstairs?"
"I… Actually, I am renting it for my friend. And we can take care of each other easily like this!" Dorie said smilingly.
When elderly couple heard her, they smiled, "If that's the case, then we can rest assured. How fortunate that we could even have someone to look after the house for us!"
Dorie smiled, "Then, can you rent it to me?"
"Sure! We are happy to rent it to you!" The old woman said.
Dorie smiled, "How much is it? I can pay you right now!"
"No no, there is no need to hurry!" The old woman passed her keys to Dorie, "With you looking after our house, we could be restful!"
"But I must pay you!" After saying that, Dorie wanted to take money from her back.
"Miss Yang, there is no need to hurry. You can pay when we come back!"
Dorie flipped out her wallet but she didn't have much cash. She raised her head as she looked at them embarrassingly, "Really?"
"Of course, we trust you!"
Dorie smiled, "Thank you so much!"
"We should be the one thanking you. Otherwise we just couldn't feel restful renting our unit to some strangers!"
"Don't worry, my friend will definitely take good care of it!" Dorie said smilingly. She couldn't help but think that there were so many good people around. What a blessing!
"All right, I shall leave the keys in your good hands!"
"Thank you!" Dorie said smilingly.
After saying that, the elderly couple left. Dorie purposely see them off. Now that she was told that they would come back after a year, she didn't need to look for another unit so soon.
After they left, Dorie went back upstairs. She was elated as she was holding the keys. She would made sure to take good care of their house.
When Dorie went home, Su was already there. He had even prepared dinner.
"I'm home!" Dorie said.
Su took a look at her and asked, "Why so late?"
"I went to the shop after finishing work, that's why it took so long!" Dorie said that as she changed into her house slippers and washed her hands.
She sat there and looked at the food Su cooked. After that, she simply started eating. Just a mouthful and she realized that Su was a better cook than her.
"I didn't imagine that you can cook so well!" Dorie said.
Su simply smiled and didn't say anything.
At that time, Dorie looked at Su and pondered for a while. After that, she asked, "Su, where are you staying now?"
"Hua Yang district, why?" Su asked.
"Hua Yang? Isn't that very far from here?"
Su nodded, "Quite."
"Then isn't it inconvenient for you to take care of me?"
Su, "…"
He looked at Dorie, "I will come here earlier next time!"
"What if I leave work early?"
"…"
He looked at Dorie and said, "I will think of some ways!"
Dorie smiled, "You don't have to, I already have a way!"
"What?"
Dorie smiled mysteriously, "The elderly couple from downstairs went travelling and they will only be back after one year. Therefore, they rented their unit to me at a very cheap price, asking me to take care of their apartment!" Dorie smiled heartily.
Su, "…"
He looked at Dorie and he had an unspeakable feeling inside. After that, he smiled in great gentleness.
When Dorie saw that Su wasn't speaking, she frowned, "What's wrong? You don't like it?"
"No!"
"Then when do you plan to move in?"
"Anytime!"
"Okay, let's go help you move after the dinner!"
Su, "……"
Dorie was too efficient and Su wasn't used to it.
"You are tired today. Let's do it tomorrow. I happened to have free time tomorrow and let's do the house moving!" Su said.
When Dorie heard that, she nodded in agreement, "That's good!" After that, she recalled something and went away. After she came back, she put a key on the table, "House 802!"
Su looked at the key and put it in his pocket, "Got it!"
After that, the two of them continued to eat and Dorie seemed to be in a great mood.
Su looked at her and he was exhilarated. However, he did not show any emotion on his face and simply ate quietly.
After the dinner.
Su nodded.
After eating, Dorie hurriedly went to clean herself up and got changed. After that, she hurried off her house.
And Su went back to move his things.
A few hours later, Su finally managed to relocate all of his stuffs.
The layout pattern downstairs was similar to Dorie's unit. However, it was lacking in warmth like Dorie's place. However, Su was happy enough that Dorie was just right upstairs. Just a layer of ceiling separating them.
Right when he reached the shop, he saw Dorie instructing her workers everywhere. The woman was serious and she did resemble the boss of the place.
Su smiled as he opened the door and walked inside.
"Welcome, sir. May I take your orders?" The waiter asked.
When a waiter saw that he remained quiet, she was stunned. At that time, Dorie glanced over his direction. The moment she saw the man by the doorsteps, she was stunned, "Su? What are you doing here?"
"I had just done moving and I am free. That's why I come to take a look!" Su said smilingly.
The moment they saw Su smiling, even the ‘immune' Dorie was stunned, and the rest of them in the shop was even more so.
When Dorie realized that she was absent-minded, she averted her gaze, "Come on in then, I'll treat you for a drink!"
Su did not say anything and he walked inside.
Dorie gave the waiter some simple instructions and she went to sit together with Su.
She was holding two cards and she seemed to be in distress.
"What are you thinking about?" Su asked leisurely.
"I am contemplating on which one of these should be my primary product!"
Su glanced on the pictures and he pointed at one easily, "There's one!"
Dorie raised her gaze and looked at him, "Why?"
"Your customers are mostly girls that like desserts. One of these is chocolate in color and the other is pink. Which one do you think is more appealing to your customers?" Su said.
When Dorie heard that, she came to a sudden realization, "All right, the decision is made!" After saying that, she stood up and went inside to give her instructions.
There weren't enough waiters around. Right after Dorie walked inside, more customers came in. The only waiter in the front couldn't manage it alone. When Su saw that, he decided to help Dorie and he went over to help.
"Miss, how can I help you?" Su asked gently.
When the female customer saw Su, she was stunned. The next second, her eyes lit up like Christmas tree. It was such a rare occurrence to see such a handsome man.
She stared at Su for a long time and made no response.
At that time, another waiter felt embarrassed because she knew Su was her boss' friend. She didn't know what to say and she simply asked the customer again, "Miss, may I take your order?" When the customer heard that, she came back to her senses.
"Oh, I want this, this, and this…" She continued to point at the menu.
"Got it!"
"But I want this handsome man to do it for me!" The woman pointed and Su and said.
