"However, you may have to wait for another half an hour. I'm sorry, Mister Watte, I...I can only bring it to you when it's convenient to my work schedule. I can't make a special trip for it. Otherwise, it will affect my own work. How about this? Since I was the one who ordered one less milkshake for you, it'll be my treat later."
Eevonne looked at Mister Watte, who was right in front of her, and she looked extremely apologetic.
"Silly girl. Why are you so honest?" Mister Watte smiled and said gently, "Do you know your honesty is really very refreshing? Every time we see you pushing the cart over energetically to deliver things to us, we feel that life is full of vigor and we feel that a ray of sunlight is here again. You are our sunshine. Our little sun! I'll just let you know then. One of the two milkshakes I've ordered is meant for you!"
Eevonne was speechless. At that moment, she was so excited that she was at a loss for words. Finally, she has won the respect and favor of others once again instead of living her life being sensitive and suspicious as before.
She seemed to have found the trick. She accepted the milkshake that Mister Watte gave her, lowered her head, and said happily, "Actually, honesty is the best way to capture all of your hearts one by one."
Mister Watte did not hear what she said. " What did you say?"
Eevonne playfully shook her head. "It's nothing. I'll carry on working now, Mister Watte. Oh, yes, thank you for the milkshake. I'm especially happy today." She practically ran out of that department while pushing her cart. Her laughter, whoever, was left echoing in that department.
"Well, I really think this girl is an optimistic little sunshine. She’s really not bad. She is doing the most basic level kind of job, but the way she treats her work so seriously really made me respect her."
"I also feel that she is full of vigor."
"Do you know what she made me realize? She made me realize that if a tally clerk can do their best, she would also be exuding charm. She is simply a charming and beautiful girl. I'll let you in on something. I really like her very much. I plan to go after her." "Are you really sure? I seem to have heard her say that she didn't even graduate from middle school." "She didn't graduate from middle school, so what? Does she look like she's not confident to you? She is very confident in life, alright? Also, she knows how to use a computer and her mind is so sharp. She wouldn't lose to a college graduate at all! What is your intention? Are you trying to compete with me?"
"That's right! I want to compete with you. Let's see who will Eevonne first fall for!"
If Eevonne, who had already gone far with her cart, had heard them talking like that, would she not be even more excited? She had once thought that nobody in this world would like her anymore as she was so terrible. She had once thought that she might never have a boyfriend anymore. What she did not know was that if a person was outstanding enough and attractive enough, even if the person was old, the person could still be extremely attractive.
At that moment, Eevonne already brought her cart back to the small storeroom where she tallied the parcels. Just when she was about to push her cart out to deliver the parcels again, her phone rang. She picked up the phone and took a look at it. It was Sabrina who called.
"Sabrina, what can I do for you?" Eevonne immediately said respectfully.
"Eevonne, are you free tonight? I'll take you to Yvonne's house," Sabrina said on the other end of the call.
