Not him

23

At first I wanted to turn down his offer but since I didn't have to pay for the ride I found myself agreeing.

I remember days ago when I was in this car.. things were different.

I was happy and madly in love with someone who wanted nothing to do with me.

What a waste.

I was nervous about the interview but atleast I had a chance for a new beginning.

"You've changed,''

His gaze was fixed on the road but I knew he was referring to me.

I didn't reply and I kept looking out of the window.

He sighed and turned to me.

"Isn't it amazing how situations tend to change?''

What does he mean by that?

"I don't understand,''I replied but didn't tear my gaze from the window.

"I mean not so long ago you were the one ranting nonstop and even though it was comforting I was a bit annoyed..but now..I really wish you would rant nonstop again..I miss it,''

If this was an emotional trap then he sure was qualified for it.

"I thought you preferred the silence?''I asked.

"I guess not anymore,''

He slightly smiled and went quiet for the rest of the ride.

"Are you sure you don't want to come back to the office?''he asked as he pulled up Infront of the shop.

"Well if I am to avoid you at all costs I wouldn't prefer working in the same place,''

"Always so subtle.. goodluck Nhu and you can call me if you need a ride back,''

"That won't be necessary but thank you Zee,''

I saw him lingering on the parking lot for a while before he got in his car and left.

I knew the salary was too good to be true.

The coffee shop was packed and all the waiters were really busy.

Seems like I was going to work my ass off.

"Hey..are you Nunew Chawarin?''asked a tall man in a suit.

"I'm Mr Maverick but you can call me Ezra,''

He was elegant..just like his name.

"Are you the manager?''

"Yes and I'll be holding your interview so come with me,''

The building was bigger than I thought and at the back it had accomodations and an hotel.

"Amazing right?''

He suddenly stopped and I almost ran into his back.

"Do you know Mr Pruk by any chance?''he asked turning to face me.

Not him again.

"Yes but sir how did you know?''

He nodded and kept on walking.
