Before eight o'clock in the evening, Shania said goodbye to her. Though Shania often accompanies her when she works the night shift alone, but not tonight. She reasoned that she had an appointment with a fellow manager.
In the end, Beth spent the rest of her shift muttering and tidying up the mess. She had closed the outlet's rolling door when the man came. Roberts came still in his In-check uniform with his hands slightly rolled up. He brought a package and closed the rolling door again.
There is a sense of relief because the long-awaited has finally come. But her anxiety and vigilance are more dominant, Beth prays... this man is a friendly and kind-hearted demon (is it possible?) Beth hopes her business tonight will be finished, as soon as possible.
"Here... I brought food. So you can think straight." He said handing the package to Beth.
Beth who had removed her hair bun only smiled faintly and accepted the package containing the fried chicken and sweet
In front of her house, Beth came down from the bike and handed over Roberts' jacket and helmet."Thank you." She said she was about to turn around and enter her parents' house."Tomorrow, mmh... Tomorrow I have Inventory Check at the HO outlet." HO stands for the name of the outlet which is located not far from the outlet Beth works."Oh yeah... So...so what?" Beth asked confused, what did Roberts mean by telling her that."Tomorrow, you come home early, right?" He asked again who was given a nod by Beth."Tomorrow, you come home with me... Don't take the bus." Said Roberts again."Ugh no, you don't have to, I am afraid...it's going to be gossip later...I'm afraid...because there are a lot of outlet employees who are fans of you...they can grill me to death later!" Beth politely refused.Roberts stared at Beth's face for a long time. He seemed to be thinking. "Just let the rumors be true...rather than just gossip!"The words le
"The warehouse is now also monitoring all the outlets, we can check at any time... It's only about the standard of storage of goods, not the similarity of data." He explained and made Beth nod."Well... yesterday you were part of the Inventory Check team, how come you moved to another division fast!""Humm...there is chaos at the warehouse, a lot of stuff is stored in the wrong way... I was recruited by Mr. Logan."The name made Beth pale. That man? What does it mean? What's his motive? Why? Then last night .. did he know that she was brought home by Roberts?"Oh yeah? Oh..." Beth finally answered. She was confused about what to say."Here.. eat!" Said Roberts handing something wrapped.Beth, who was confused by the man's words, opened the package... She found paper wrapping, a chicken curry with rice completed with another side dishes."For me?" She asked looking at Roberts' face, which looked indifferent."Of course."
Beth spent her work hours anxiously. Now and then she looked at the CCTV cameras installed in every corner of the outlet.Her friend would come at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, a friend who would look after the night shift.Her daydream was suddenly shattered when there were customers who came to her. A customer who once shopped could be in the tens of millions of dollars, the problem is.. he is one of the fussiest, complicated, and fast-paced customers. Beth's suffering was complete because she must take care of the order by herself, and suddenly her outlet's computer hangs.What the heck!She gave a welcoming smile to Mr. Randy, the customer whose face was flat and grumpy, her greeting was not answered because Mr. Randy immediately took the shopping basket and took his shopping. He is the kind of customer who doesn't want to be helped...he wants to take his shopping.Beth immediately picked up the receiver, and called the technician, and
Beth waited for her friend to arrive, and when everyone was there she could breathe a sigh of relief. At that time, the computer modem signal outlet was on. Beth took her phone and turned off the hotspot. 'How come another turn comes, the computer doesn't hang anymore.'Beth told her friend what had happened to her. Minus the behavior of Logan who hijacked the contents of his cellphone."You're not lucky Miss... Hehe." Comments one of his friends grimaced at Beth's narrative."You are waiting for Roberts in the parking lot.. aren't you? He's already on standby on his motorbike." Whispered one of her friends with her face positioned closer to Beth."Huh? What are you saying? What time is it?""Wooo...wooo... you have a special appointment with him, aren't you!" Her friend's teasing instantly silenced Beth.It was still three in the afternoon, and Beth's heart was beating fast, remembering Logan's threats, who threatened to fire Beth and Rober
Roberts got the message and furrowed his brow. Beth saw the expression on his face that looked very somber. Beth watched Roberts, who was still glued to the phone screen. They were still in the cafe and eating desserts."What is it?" Beth asked as Roberts put down his phone. He smiled wryly."Looks like... I haven't been able to give a proposal to you, I just got fired." He said relaxed."Hah?!" Beth was startled, her eyes wide. How could that be? Why? Who fired him? is that Logan Burger who did it? That's what Beth was thinking right now."I was fired... So I'm unemployed... Later when I get another job, I'll apply again.. for your hands of marriage, okay?!" He said without a smile and was very relaxed.Beth was confused by the calmness of the man in front of her, how could he be this relaxed. "Who...who the hell? Who fired you? For what reason?" Beth asked.He smiled a little. "The one who fired me was my direct supervisor, Mr. Logan, the
Beth and Roberts were already in the theater. They watch romance-comedy films. Several times Roberts laughed because he seemed to be focused on what they were watching, only Beth whose heart was pounding because of a creature named Logan. The sentence kept repeating in her head… 'Watch out, we will be getting married tomorrow!' What if it came true? Logan often does what he says, he's not the type to lie.The film had been playing for an hour and a half, and during that time Beth's thoughts were all over the place. When the film finished, Roberts held Beth's hand tightly. They walked casually to the parking lot."Want to eat first?" Offered Roberts gently."No... it's late... are you hungry?" Beth asked awkwardly at their current closeness."Yeah okay, I'm just worried you're starving. It's hard for me to let my girlfriend starve."Deg… her heart seemed to stop beating. My girlfriend...he said?! Roberts calls her his girlfriend.
The next day Beth intended to leave early. Her father was already sitting in the living room with a frown on his face. Beth had stopped walking... she had doubts that her father's face didn't look normal.Beth finally came forward with a hanging thump, she lowered her face and asked permission to go to work."Mmh... Dad, I will go for work..." she said in a trembling voice. Never, in her life, The father was so cold to her."Go straight home, don't go for a walk after work!" Said Dad glaring at Beth.Beth nodded resignedly. She left for work without any inkling. She does all her work normally. Without any inkling... Until the shop opened and a man was standing up to greet her with a grin."You're thirty minutes late from Headquarters' time to open an outlet! If I'm cruel... I can report you and you get fired immediately." That's Logan's greeting, a cursed human a.k.a annoying human plus her future husband, isn't that tragic?Beth was lazy to
Beth was still glued to what had happened to her. She was still standing in the same position for a few minutes, she realized when someone called her. A customer. She apologized and went to continue her duties as usual. She tried to be focused and professional, but what had just happened made her head unfocused.Logan's words were true, not long after that, Shania came with a cheerful face."Why did you come at this time, Shania?" Beth asked confused."You're allowed to go home at eleven o'clock, right...you asked for the permission... I was called by your parents. They said there was an important family event...?!" Shania shook her head and then took out her name tag to be absent-in."It's half-past eleven, you can go home now, it's okay. It's because the HRD person also called me... They said you have to go home because there was an event. You have someone backing you up from the headquarters right, Beth?" Shania wears her working clothes and her 5 cent
