When There Is Nothing Left But Love

As the old adage says, always return to your own root.

Although A City was not my homeland, it was much better compared to Western Europe and Venria.

That night, I slept better than ever. It was a dreamless sleep.

The next day.

I was awakened by the sound of knocking on my door. When I opened the door, I was struck dumb by the sight of a man in grey pyjamas standing outside my door. “Morning, Mr. Murphy.”

He raised his brow and looked at the watch on his wrist. “You’ll start work from today. From now on, you’ll stay here. For the time being, there’s no helper at home, so you’ll need to prepare breakfast. We start work at nine, and it’s seven now. In order not to be late for work, you’ll have to go downstairs to make breakfast now.”

Having said that, the man sauntered off. I was a little confused at first but recovered after a while. I quickly went back to my room and changed my clothes. After a quick wash-up, I went downstairs to the kitchen.

Fortunately, there was some food in the refrigerator. So I made a quick breakfast.

After breakfast, I was caught in a difficult situation. When I saw him holding the car keys in his hand as he was about to leave the house, I mustered up my courage and asked, “Mr. Murphy, can I trouble you to give me a ride?”

He nodded wordlessly.

After getting into the car, I put on a thick skin and asked, “Mr. Murphy, can I request one month’s salary in advance?”

I had no choice because I lost all of my belongings. My bank card had to be reissued. Even my mobile phone was lost. The most important thing right now was to get myself a phone.
