“What’s the matter? Got kicked out so quickly?”
“I told you that man wasn’t reliable. There’s no such thing as pure friendship between a man and a woman, but you wouldn’t listen. What do you think now?”
“You lost the bet. You’ll have to work for me for free for two months.”
I took a deep breath.
“I accept the consequences of the bet. Deduct the two months’ wages from my year-end bonus. I don’t want it.”
“If you came here for money, you’ve miscalculated. I don’t have a single penny on me.”
Perhaps these men, Charles, were better at judging other men.
If I had listened to him earlier, maybe I wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Unfortunately, there was no turning back now. It was too late.
“Do you really think I’m such a money-grabbing person? Do you really see me as a capitalist?”
“Didn’t you make me work overtime plenty of times before?”
Charles was speechless, swallowing the rest of his words.
“That’s not what I meant. Come on, get in the car. I just moved nearby.”
“If you don’t have a place to stay, my place is always open to you. You’ll just have to cook for yourself and I’ll have one more mouth to feed. It shouldn’t be too much trouble, right?”
I furrowed my brows and studied him.
