Chapter 5 Danny the Sweet Child

Jeremy is not doing his job very well. When Nesta was enjoying her iced tea to neutralize the saltiness of the salt she had swallowed earlier, she was shocked. The tea bursts into her mouth.

"You're such a slob!" He was annoyed with himself. "Don't forget to mop up your mess later!"

"What are you doing!" Nesta protested while wiping her mouth.

Is Jeremy out of work or what? Nesta had been bullied and now he was the one who was angry. That's weird!

"You're being honest, you were going to mess with me, weren't you?"

Nesta, who happened to be in the pantry, just shook her head. She briefly put down her drink to be polite when talking to the boss.

"You came here just to ask me that?" Nesta aks. "You're interrupting my leisure time, sir."

The man in front of her massaged the bridge of his nose. How could there be an employee like this in his office. Previously, people with ethics and high IQs couldn't last long. If he stayed for a long time, Jeremy could leave the office.

"Hei, can't you do something useful? Even if it's not useful for the office, at least it's useful for your own life. Like don't waste too much time or joke around because it's a waste," Jeremy said at length, Nesta listening in right ear out left ear.

She hissed when Nesta's response was unpleasant. "No wonder your life isn't moving forward."

How did Jeremy Nesta know his life wasn't moving forward? It's arbitrary to guess. If she was on the same level as Nesta, she would have responded to Jeremy's life as well. The thing about her is that she shouldn't be so stiff so as not to look older than her real age. If he's willing to relax a little, maybe he can become an idol.

As she was daydreaming, Nesta was snapped by Jeremy.

"You, when I tell you or talk to you, you always react like that. Can't you respect me as a superior here?"

Nesta furrowed her brow. So she was to blame for her response when Jeremy spoke to her. She really didn't want to be serious so as not to stress her mind. Besides, it was her own fault for bothering him?

Jeremy should know that the easiest way in human life when you don't like someone is to not go near that person. Unfortunately, Nesta was again reminded of her status here that she was just an errand boy who could not go against the boss's words.

Nesta purses her lips. "Yes, sir. Yes." To avoid getting angry, Nesta relented. "I'll be more diligent next time. Thank you for your attention."

"Who's paying attention!"

Nesta giggled. What a big, prestigious boss!

Another problem arose. Lusi was already glaring at Nesta. What does she have to do with Jeremy?

Why is it that every time Nesta just finished talking to Jeremy, she always appears with that scary look?

Before the drama with Lusi starts, it's better to pretend to be busy with other work. Sing so she can get her ears blown out. Perform a deadly dance to make Lusi even more disgusted.

Waiting for a few seconds, she finally left. Nesta, who turned around, immediately stuck out her tongue.

Jeremy had indeed returned to his room. Ah, it was also his fault why he was busy reprimanding Nesta after the meeting. He already knew that she was stressed out, but he was still dealing with her. However, her always strange language made Jeremy just now.

Just sitting in his chair, Jeremy grabbed his forehead. How can I get Nesta to leave this office?

***

Two weeks into the job, Nesta was still strong. But her physique couldn't lie. The stress had left her with mouth ulcers. Not only canker sores, she also has a toothache.

Complete!

The plan today was to get a pass to skip work. After all, if she worked slowly, Jeremy would get angry at her.

Called Shaun, asking for a leave of absence.

"Have you seen a doctor?" Shaun asked from the other end.

"Today, Mr. Jeremy has a meeting outside, I can give you permission not to come in.

"Yes, Sir."

"How bad is the toothache?"

Before answering, Nesta, who was in the boarding room, hurriedly grabbed a mirror.

Her cheeks were swollen from a toothache, how bad could it be?

"Not bad, Sir. It's swollen."

Shaun sighed.

If Shaun was the type of person who could not be cooperated with, it would have been a hassle to report to Jeremy first. Hearing the 'lecture' from Mr. Boss would have burned her ears.

Nesta has also informed the other janitor. So that they could help Nesta with her work and not feel like they were losing one of their most beautiful people.

Fortunately, Jeremy had a meeting outside today. This is what we call the blessings of life.

Remember, getting a day's rest from Jeremy's ramblings is one of life's greatest pleasures.

The toothache is getting worse, Nesta needs medicine.

Put on some decent clothes, walk to the nearest pharmacy. Forced to take care of everything herself."

On the road, Nesta occasionally stroked her cheek. Better a toothache than a heartache, for Nesta that's a lie!

She can still eat, lie down quietly, marathon netflix, read novels, when she has a heartache.

It hurts to eat, you can't sleep, you can't fantasize about handsome princes.

Toothache is excruciating, Nesta can't take it. Once in a while, she gets tortured. Let her arrogance diminish.

Thinking of torture for Jeremy, Nesta found a small boy sitting on the sidewalk.

Alone, sweating, wearing a school uniform.

In her heart, Nesta thought about elementary school children who don't go to school. What will this nation become?

She was stunned to see someone standing nearby.

Nesta squatted beside him. "This is still wearing a bag, how come you don't go to school?"

Asked many times, still silent.

"Where are your parents?" Nesta asked again. A child this small, if left unattended by parents, could be dangerous. She was worried that he might not know the way.

"I'll take you to your parents, okay?"

He finally spoke up. "I was abandoned by my father, he won't care."

"What!" Nesta gasped. What parent would abandon such a cute and sweet child. If it's true, he must be a cursed father. Perhaps he was of the same species as Jeremy.
