The Potential Prey
I grinned like a sly wolf who had gotten hold of potential prey. Oh my God, I don't know how happy I am right now. I really couldn't believe that this day would come to me. Today the world is in your hands.
"Ohohoho... oh my gosh, tomorrow my new journey will start! Tonight I have to sleep early and wake up early. Dress up and wear my best clothes. William, he's my type! Hihihi... how about I just tease him Wait a minute! Does he have a girlfriend? OK, I have to confirm that first!" I muttered in front of the refrigerator door which Jacob still locked very tightly.
Really, that guy, if he hadn't been kind enough to let me stay here and give me a job, I would definitely have demolished this refrigerator.
"Tch, you cheapskate! Uh... be patient, Jenni! From now on you have to learn to be a classy, elegant woman because starting tomorrow you will work for a big company like no other. Moreover, you are a receptionist who always welcomes important guests who comes. So, whatever happens, keep smiling!" I said trying to advise myself.
Maybe if I ask him nicely, Jacob will be kind enough to give me the rest of his food. Right now I really don't have any money because my salary at the supermarket has already bought me shoes at a 70% discount which I will wear to work.
"Ugh... damn, how is this? I don't have money for bus fare tomorrow!"
This is bad, this is really bad. I had absolutely no money for food and bus fare until I got my first paycheck. If I ask Mom, she definitely won't give me money.
"Should I try borrowing money from Jacob? No! I'm pretty sure that useless cheapskate will want to lend me money. But, if I don't try, I won't know the results. Well, it can't be helped. I have no other choice!"
"What are you doing standing in front of my refrigerator? Move!" Said Jacob, who without I realizing was standing behind me. No wonder I suddenly got goosebumps like this.
I immediately looked back, I hope he didn't hear my muttering just now saying that he was a useless stingy person. His sharp, cold and piercing gaze seemed to penetrate my heart. His unfriendliness really made me uncomfortable.
"Ahahaha... I didn't know you were here! Y-you want to open the refrigerator, huh? P-please, sir! I'm sorry I bothered you, okay?" I said while laughing like a fool. I had to move away from in front of the refrigerator and give him the way.
Jacob seemed reluctant to respond to my babbling, he just punched in the code to open the refrigerator so fast that I couldn't memorize the code.
"Even at times like this, you can still look for opportunities, right?" He said with sharp sarcasm.
"Huh? Wh-what? You said something?"
"No just forget it!" He said as he opened the refrigerator door.
Immediately I was stunned to see the sight of delicious food neatly arranged in the large capacity refrigerator. Meat, various sausages, chicken, fresh seafood, organic vegetables, various colorful fresh fruits, ice cream, milk, yogurt, cheese, even cakes from expensive cake shops are also available.
My eyes barely blinked, I saw a paradise of food and it made me not realize that my saliva was dripping. This afternoon I just bought Chinese fried noodles at the intersection for lunch and now I'm really hungry.
"Wow... you have a big collection of delicious food, don't you?" I said while swallowing hard.
Jacob took a carton of milk, cheese, pickled cucumbers and bacon from the refrigerator and then he immediately closed the refrigerator door before my saliva actually dripped on the floor. He frowned, as if he couldn't believe my reaction.
"Can you get out of here? I want to use this kitchen!"
"Oh yeah, you're right! It's time for dinner now, right? Ahahaha..." I continued laughing awkwardly, not knowing how to tell Jacob that I needed a little help from him.
I scratched my head, trying to think hard while preparing myself mentally. Jacob, who was standing in front of the table, gave me a sarcastic look as if he could read my mind.
"Why do you keep looking at me? Oh I know, you must be planning something?"
"W-what? N-no, I'm not planning anything, really! I-actually I just wanted to ask you for a little help, so-"
"Just ask the police station for help!"
"Not that kind of help! I just want to borrow your money, n-not much, just 2000 Dollars!"
"Tch, as I thought! If you fix it, it will only get worse, right? Only 2000 dollars, you say? You can't even pay me the rent you owe me and now you want to borrow 2000 dollars? You really don't have a brain, do you?"
"Yeah, I know! But what can I do, I don't have any money at all! Besides, starting tomorrow I can work at your friend's company. So, at least I'll borrow your money until I get my first salary!"
