63 CH63: One should not just stop at one buffet table (1/2)

”If we're not meant to have midnight snacks,

why is there a light in the fridge?”

=========================

It has been weeks since Delilah had joined the Korean language class. Although it has been helpful, she was still struggling with the class. Probably because she was bad when it comes to learning languages and doesn't have enough practice.

She should try to find someone to practice her Korean language with. But she hasn't been making friends with the people in her class. It was not because she was unfriendly. But more like, she was too busy. Once she was done with her class, she immediately set off for home, instead of hanging out with them.

They did invite her to hang out once in a while but she always rejected them since she's always been tired after class.

All she wanted to do was to go home and sleep.

That night, she decided to not come for the class because she had a family function to attend to. She sent her message to the admin of the school, sending her apologies and question of whether she could request for a replacement class.

Luckily, they do offer her a replacement class but it will be on a weekend. She liked the fact that the school was flexible when it comes to classes and timings.

She sighed. It looks like she's going to be studying on a weekend. She doesn't really like having classes or work on a weekend because she always believes that it was the day for her to relax. Though, it seems like she won't be having any rest next week.

She was in her cubicle, rearranging her notes after she received the reply message from the school.

She doesn't have much work to be done so she decided to pass the time by rearranging her notes and files. She did not want to spend her time just watching drama series on her phone or playing games. She wants to, at least, be more productive. She did ask Aubree and her other colleagues whether they needed help with their work. But it seems like they have none that they needed help with.

She nearly died of boredom hence why she resorted to cleaning her cubicle and rearranging her notes and files. She even began to water the plant that Matt had placed in the office. (She nearly forgot about the plant!)

And speaking of forgot, Delilah also nearly forgot about the family function that she has to attend. Apparently, her cousin's daughter has just given birth to a baby daughter. And to celebrate the birth, they decided to invite their family members and relatives to the occasion.

Although she wasn't that close to her cousin since there was a huge age gap between them, she recalled him saying that there will be lots of food. Huge age gap as in her cousin's daughter was only two years younger than her. So, meaning to say, her cousin was nearly the same age as her parents.

Knowing that it will probably be a huge event since the baby was the first grandchild of her cousin, she knew better than most that she has to sacrifice herself to look good. She never did like to dress-up. But for this event, she has to wear her formal dress, wear makeup and fancy shoes. She ought to bring her flip-flops just in case.

She sighed as she thought of the hours and minutes that she has to prepare ironing her clothes, wearing makeup and so forth. If it was up to her, she'll probably just wear a tee-shirt and jeans. At least, that would be more comfortable.

Unfortunately, her sister had already warned her that there will be other people and she shouldn't embarrass herself by wearing simple clothes. Delilah did not really care much about her image (even though her sister scolded her that she should since she worked in the HR department) but she did not want to hear her sister's nagging if she wore simple clothes.

She just rolled her eyes at the time but heeded what Miya had said.

She was still rearranging her physical notes and files when Aubree walked over to have a chat. Delilah had already asked for her permission to leave work early since her cousin's place was a bit far. And since they don't really have much work, Aubree had allowed her to. Delilah also texted Howard, just in case, who also has given green light.

They chatted for a while, talking about the upcoming work and so forth. They had a few laughs here and there as well.

In less than an hour, Delilah was already packed and ready to go. She waved goodbye at Aubree, who was standing near her cubicle, and her other colleagues.

After she left the office building, she immediately set off for home, not stopping by at any place since she did not want to be late.
