Borrow My Car Daily? Enjoy My Divorce Papers
I receive a random WhatsApp message from Charlotte Ellis, a neighbor living downstairs, at 11:00 pm.
"Olivia, do you drive to the city center every morning?"
I've just gotten to know Charlotte, so I just reply, "Yes."
Originally, I thought this is just small talk. But Charlotte is quick to send me a long audio message.
"That's wonderful news! My husband is on a business trip lately, so I'm worried that I don't have anyone to send me to work!
"From now on, you have to wait for me in your car at 8:00 am. Then, you can drop me off at my company."
I frown immediately.
"That's really inconvenient for me."
My phone screen begins flickering all of a sudden. It turns out that Charlotte has started a voice call with me.
"C'mon, Olivia! We're all neighbors here! So what if you have to make a detour of a few miles or so? Since you're sending me to work, I can help pass the time by chatting with you and alleviating your boredom! Besides, it'll be a waste of your front passenger seat, seeing as it's left empty and all!"
