Chapter 36 - : Bah (1/2)
”What? You want to fire me? No way!” Amy is pouting, a pair of big eyes are staring round, hands folding waist, ”Please, you are a big man, how can you go back on your words?”
I spread out my hand: ”I have no job now, and no income either.”
Amy turns around and laughing: ”But I don't need you to pay my salary! Somebody has already paid for it!”
”But I have no place to live now.” I still shake my head.
”Cut! Don't fool me!” Amy is very shrewd to pierce my excuse, ”Would such a big man have no place to live? You can go to rent, or sleep in a hotel. Anyway, you won't sleep on the road! Even if you live in a kennel, I will follow you as a conscientious nurse!”
”Stop playing, Amy.” I frown, ”Don't follow me anymore. If someone in your company asks, you say you're still with me, and nobody knows.”
”You think it's that simple?” She deliberately stares at me with a looking at an idiot's eye, ”If the company is so stupid, do I have to run around with you? Come on! The company is not so easy to be cheated! I need to record your daily living, your diet, your physical condition, blood pressure, heart rate, weight, nutrition! And I need to report to the company every day! Company will also check my work from time to time. Do you think this job is that easy?”
I sigh and can't contradict her.
In those days in the hospital, she would give me a lot of tests every day. At first I thought it was ordered by hospital, and later I realized that many of are her daily works.
”The report can be falsed.” I say lightly, ”If I don't say and you don't say, who knows it!”
Amy is thinking about it for a while and looking at me secretly: ”Are you sure? Don't need my care service, and still pay me. I've never seen such a fool like you.” But then she seems to hesitate and says, ”No. The risk is too high. Company will check, just in case of fear! If I accidentally spill the beans, I will be fired. To be safe, I had better to follow you honestly. ”
I am really not able to handle this smart and stubborn girl.
And most importantly, after a few days live together, she did take good care of me, and the relationships between us are so harmonious that it is hard for me to turn my back on her.
”Oh, well, please yourself! I'm going to stay at the hotel now! Only one bed! Do you follow me?”
”Yes!” Amy actually nods, with a look of heroic expression, ”I'll sleep on the floor. Anyway, this job pays so much that it's worth sleeping on the floor.”
”I do respect you!” I sigh and thinking for a moment. Then I suddenly remember the property company that I had blackmailed and they promised to arrange a flat to let me rent. Take out the phone, I dial that number immediately.
When the person who's in charge of the property company hears my call, he breathes a sigh of relief and asks me in a hurry where I were and why I hadn't contacted him these days.
I struck a few words before I realize that he was afraid of my turning back. The commercial building I was involved in put on a large-scale advertising campaign these days. He is afraid that I would come out and expose it, it would be a mass tragedy.
Driven by interests, people's work efficiency is unusually high. We negotiated on the phone that we can immediately go to take a look that flat. The location is not far from my present position, but also a rather noble residential district.
To be honest, I feel very happy.
I know that residential district. It is very expensive, and the rental is quite expensive too.
If I am still working the nightclub, there is no any problem with it. But I have lost my job, so I must think more about the price.
Luckily, when I was blackmailing the property company, we had settled the rental, which was very cheap.
Without saying any extra word, I immediately stop a taxi and drive to the appointed place.
Naturally, my little tail Amy is still following me.
…
”Here it is!” I look around the house, quite satisfied.
Two bedrooms, one living room, newly decorated, double rooms facing south, sunny, the living room is very spacious and bright. The only drawback is that the toilet is small, but fortunately I don't have the habit of soaking in the bathtub, and it's good to have a shower at home.
There is a suite of ready furniture in the house. Simple but enough for daily usage. It is provided by their company. Although they are not the famous brands, but the quality are good.
Obviously, this is a set of ”single apartments” for some urban white-collar workers. But I don't care. I like this place very much. It's quiet in the neighborhood, and the traffic is good. There's a supermarket downstairs. Daily life should be very convenient.
