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."

The host looked very friendly and very gentle. "I thought Robbie would find an aunt to help me look after the house, but it turned out to be a beautiful lady. Then please take care of my house."

"It's my duty."

"By the way, I want to remind you that I have a pot of plant in my study. Don't forget to watere it for me. It was a gift from my friend. I don't want it to die."

I saw a big pot of green plant in the corner of the study. Perhaps it was because it hadn't been watered for several days that several leaves had turned yellow.

"I see. I'll keep that in mind."

"That's good. I still have work to do, bye."

It was still early and there was nothing to eat, so I went out.

There was an ATM at the gate of the neighborhoods, and there was really 1500 in the card.

I take five hundred dollars out as the living expense of this month.

Because I know I have to save more money. My salary is so low that I don't know when I can pay the one hundred and eighty thousand back.

I bought some cheap daily necessities in the market. I was so unwilling to spend the money that I didn't even take a bus.

Fortunately, on the way back, I saw a 24-hour convenience store.

There was a recruitment information sticking on the door. It's recruiting a cashier. The recruitment time was seven o'clock in the evening to seven o'clock in the next morning.

I was moved at that time and thought that I couldn't always stay at home after finishing the housework.

"Hello, I want to apply for the cashier. Do you still need one?"

The cashier looked at me and said, "wait a second. I'll call my boss."

"Oh, thank you."

Shortly after, a middle-aged man, picking his teeth, walked behind the cashier.

The man eyed me from head to toe and asked, "Have you ever worked as a cashier before?"

I shook my head, "no, but I can learn it, I will learn very fast."

The boss shook his hand. My heart sank at that time. I thought he would not accept my application.

"It's a piece of cake. You can learn it soon with Luis. But you have to work for twelve hours and can't go to bed during that period, understand? "

I immediately nodded and promised, "don't worry. I won't go to sleep or be lazy."

"You are alone at night and there are less people at night than in the daytime. During this period, you need to make up all the goods on the shelf, put them in place and count them in stock. Can you do that?"

I kept nodding. At that time, I just thought that as long as you were willing to use me, I would be able to accept it.

"You haven't done such work before and I don't know if you can be a good cook. So I give you 2500 in the first month. If you can do it well, I can raise the money to 3500 in the second month. Can you accept it?"

Pursing my lips, I nodded happily. "Yes, I can. Thank you, boss."

"Ok. Is there any problem for you to start working from tonight?"

"No problem."

The boss nodded with great satisfaction and then said to Luis, "you can teach her how to do next."

"Okay," Luis agreed meekly.

Her boss calls her Luis, but I should call her Mrs. Luis.

Mrs. Luis is a very easy-going person. She taught me how to operate carefully.

After a while, we got familiar with each other and then Mrs. Luis talked more.

She looked at me with a smile and suddenly asked me mysteriously, "is it worth the money that you earn such a little money to stay up late at such a young age?"
