Lothar patted Yesseca's head and said, "This is because I haven't found a good job yet. I won't do it for long either. When the time comes, I'll come back to start small business. I'll just have to make some money first."
This was also Lothar's plan.
Of course, he knew that he could not be out at sea for a long time since he had a sister here. But the salary was high, and he only needed to work for half a year to accumulate some capital. Then, he would be able to use it to start a small business in Agaphen City.
At the very least, if the small business failed, the money could be used as dowry for when Yesseca got married.
Yesseca was still unwilling.
But Lothar had already made up his mind. "That's settled, Yesseca. I'll head out first."
Although Yesseca was unwilling, Lothar was persistent. She then pursed her lips. "I'll await your return, Lothar."
She comforted herself that Lothar had only went to apply for the job, and even if he accepted it, he would only be gone for a few months.
At this moment, Yesseca had never imagined that once Lothar left, they would part ways forever.
Lothar rushed to the company that the other party mentioned. It was a room in a remote building. There were several phones and two men in the room.
Lothar didn't think much about it as it could be a temporary work place.
The other party casually asked him a few questions, and he answered every one of them.
"It's you then," said the man who had interviewed Lothar. "Let's set out to sea today. The salary is 50,000 per month."
Lothar hadn't expected that the other party would be in a rush to have him start work on the same day. But when he thought of the monthly salary of 50,000, he decided to go to work on that day.
"Let me call my sister first," said Lothar.
The man agreed.
Lothar went to the corridor to make a call.
"Yesseca, let me tell you something. I've applied and got the job, and I'm going out to sea today. Take care of yourself at home." Lothar instructed.
Yesseca did not expect Lothar to go out to sea on the very same day.
She widened her eyes. "Brother, why is it so fast?"
Lothar joked around, "Perhaps the boss was afraid that I wouldn't be able to proceed with it. That's why he's rushing to ask me to go to work."
Yesseca was reluctant to part with him. "Brother, I can't bear to part with you."
"I'm fine. I'll be back in a few months."
Yesseca bit her lip. "Brother, please come back soon and call me when you arrive."
"All right, it's better that you don't look for a job during this period of time. We'll discuss it when I get back." Lothar was afraid that when he wasn't around, Yesseca would look for a job and might get cheated instead.
"Okay," Yesseca agreed.
After some explanation, Lothar hung up the phone.
The men in the room brought Lothar downstairs and got him into a van.
"Go to the pier now and get ready to board." The man that interviewed Lothar said to the driver.
Apart from Lothar and that man, there was also a driver in the van.
After they drove for a while, Lothar suddenly remembered something.
"Hold on, my ID card is still at home. Could you send me back to get my ID card first?"
The man who had interviewed Lothar was a little impatient. "What kind of ID card do you need? You don't need an ID card."
There was a ringing sound in Lothar's head.
He had been careless because he was tempted by the high salary, which made him feel joyous and excited. How could he ignore one of the most important things?
How could the other party accept his application without wanting his credentials?
Lothar clenched his fists tightly.
"I need to use the toilet."
The man that interviewed Lothar glanced suspiciously at him.
"You can use the bathroom when we get on board."
"No, I want to use it now," said Lothar as he pushed open the car door.
The man that interviewed Lothar could tell that something was wrong.
"Boom!"
The man who had interviewed Lothar was almost as fast as lightning when he suddenly stood up and took a hard swing at Lothar's head.
