Jim had only walked for a few minutes before he received a call from Zachary.
“Jim, come back. We need your help again to move stuff. This time, the things have to be moved to the eighth floor. There are quite a few things too, so the moving fee… Seren, how much should we give Jim?”
Zachary pulled the phone away as he asked Serenity.
Serenity looked at all the gifts her aunt had sent over. It was too much, even if half of them were her sister’s. It would take some time for Jim to move all of them alone, so she said, “Ask Jim to come back first. He can take a look and name a price.”
After dealing with him a few times, she felt she was now pretty familiar with Jim. It would be embarrassing if she gave him too little for the moving fee, but it would be a loss to give him too much as well, so she simply decided to get Jim to name a fee.
Jim looked like an honest and trustworthy person and did not seem like he would charge an astronomical amount.
“Alright. Jim, just come over first.”
“Sure!” Jim happily replied. He would be able to get a few hundred bucks allowance out of his boss once again!
Half an hour later.
“Seren, I haven’t eaten yet,” Zachary said as he closed the door.
After Jim finished moving the gifts into Serenity’s place, he sent Liberty and Sonny home and while at it, helped to move Liberty’s portion of gifts from Mrs. Stone up her apartment.
As for the moving fee, Zachary had paid for it in advance.
It was pretty good. Ever since Jim had come back from Annenburg with his boss, he had managed to earn quite a bit of allowance from him.
Serenity was still in the middle of organizing the gifts from her aunt when she heard him say that. She instinctively replied, “I haven’t eaten either. I trawled the supermarket for hours. Luckily, you came back, or else I’d be super tired after moving all those things upstairs.”
That was because she would not have thought of asking Jim for help.
If Jim could hear her thoughts, he would agree, “If the boss had not returned, he would not have been able to help either.”
“If you need help with anything in the future, just let Jim know. He’s reliable and he charges reasonably. He does everything competently, too. I’ll go make dinner.”
Zachary thought that his esteemed wife would cook a delicious meal for him upon his return from his business trip.
Now, seeing his wife busily organizing the things before her, he resigned himself to the kitchen.
