17 Annoying Milly (1/2)

Marcel sat in front of Milly absent-mindedly not really listening to what she was chattering about as he got an update of his contacts from Paul. He was already treating them as his crew which in itself was already abnormal.

”Don't come here to ask me about being contacted anymore. I'm not your secretary” Paul said in annoyance as he threw his phone on the couch.

He did not have much of a social life, but ever since Marcel started using his number he received the most number of calls than he ever had ever since he got his first phone.

”Big brother, can you bear with it for a bit until I get my pay?” Marcel said trying to persuade Paul to continue to do this for him.

”Who is your big brother?” Paul asked as he narrowed his black eyes at Marcel.

”Is there anyone else here?” he asked making Paul frown in discontent.

”You should get a phone, and open a bank account so that they can transfer the money to you. Or were you expecting to get it in cash?” Paul asked feeling frustrated.

”Ah, the bank” Marcel parroted. He had never handled such details when he was still young, his parents did it for him. When he grew up, they just had to transfer ownership and for the rest of his life, his assistant was responsible for taking care of such matters.

”Yes, the bank. Go and work on it today” Paul said as he ruffled Marcel's hair and went to his studio to work on his equipment. Marcel turned his gaze to look at Milly who was busy on her phone.

”Milly” Marcel said and moved to sit next to her. Milly looked up from her phone when she was called only to see Marcel sitting close to her.

”What is it?” she asked as she moved to create some distance between them and Marcel moved with her.

”What do you want?” Milly asked suspiciously while narrowing her eyes. She was being suspicious about his intentions since he was not even listening to what she was telling him earlier.

”I have a question,” Marcel said and smiled dazzling Milly with his straight white teeth.

”What question?” she asked.

”Well, I need to open an account-” Marcel started and was promptly interrupted by Milly.

”Just go with your ID, you'll probably have to fill some forms and they'll open your account for you. They'll also give you a card you can use to get money from the ATM machine.

”ATM machine? You need a bank account to use them?” Marcel asked with raised eyebrows.

”Yes, pretty much everyone that uses them has a bank account,” Milly said as she nodded. Marcel reached for his pocket and took out his worn-out wallet and took out the card he received from George.

”So this?” he asked as he showed Milly the card.

”That's a bank card you get after opening an account,” Milly said and turned her focus back to her phone.

”Can I use someone else's?” Marcel asked before pursing his lips when he saw Milly frown in annoyance.

”Yes, you can. Just go to the bank to verify it and ask all these questions, why are you bothering me?” Milly asked her voice rising as she continued to talk.
