Chapter 4: Planning The Future (Part 2)

I push this trolley cart. We were in the book store to buy some office supplies, "so, it's a lot but will you bought them all?" I nodded, "I think we can make another deal with paper companies, or should we using the shortcuts?" She looks at me, "what kind of shortcuts?" I'm scratching my cheek.

"Electronics?" She nods, "what's your plan?" I put three boxes of pens, "my plan is, I will make recycle everything policies," she nods, "it's including water, electrical, and paper usage in our office, I prefer stairs I want them healthy with their clear mind, and not lazy," I gave her my phone.

"You can check the design of my layout from my phone. After shopping for our office supplies, we can get inside. You are curious what it looks like, right?" I put two sketchbooks, "why office supplies need sketchbooks?" I giggle.

"I need them for entertainment purposes," she hummed, "can I ask you something?" I nodded, "are you not afraid to be broke? You know, your profit this month is 6%, but you promise to them, you will pay their debt 50% by next month" I shook my head, "I can make more income from this pen," she looks at me. "Don't say you would sell them," I shook my head. "I wouldn't. I have my guitar. I can rent them, rent my car, rent trucks, rent a warehouse, and renting everything." She nods, "You know, Rose, I was thinking to bought a little company," she looks at me.

"Will you buy them in a short time?" I shook my head, "not in the short time," she sighed, "we will be busier than the other days?" I nodded. "You were right, but it can remotely job from your house, from my house, and maybe while we will going on a vacation?" She pushed my shoulder.

"I don't like working while on vacation, but if you did that, you should choose your wife and your kids, or you will sleeping on the couch forever." I chuckle and kiss her cheek, "you know I wouldn't do that," she shrugged her shoulders. "may can I help you?" I nodded. "I'm looking for a printer for the office." He nods, "please follow me," we follow him, and I saw the sign. HP, "Which printers are you looking from?" I looked at Rose, "we looking for HP OfficeJet Pro 9025." He nodded, "how much do you need?" I was scratching my cheek, "I tell you what, I wanted to buy 3 of them, but I need your phone number in case I need printers on a large scale," he nods.

"Here's my business card, and I will make a PO," I nodded, "what should you do next? We on the half on it," I looked at my trolley, well it's good decision to buy a printer in the first place, "here's your PO. your printer will be ready in 5 days, I hope you can..." I gave my black card, "13.950.000 IDR, is it worth it?" He nods, "does HP failed you before?" No, they haven't failed me, "you will become a trillionaire, ma'am. Trusts me," amen. "Thank you for your blessing," I looked at Rose.

"Do I failed you yet?" She shook her head. "You haven't failed anyone, yet" I nodded, "here please sign," I signed the paper, and I give her the receipt. "So, you wanted to eat somewhere, or you wanted to eat on the food court?" She looks at me, "you like movies, right?" I nodded, "why do we not buy some snacks. Are we discussing jobs together? Sounds good?" I'm smiling, "well, it sounds like a plan for me.

She smiles. The best thing I've ever get so far.

After we met our designer, we decide to buy some snacks, food, and beverages for our plan tonight. It's Monday, everyone goes home after work, tired, and playing with family. Us? We will stay all night long. I moved the coffee table in the basement for a while because we need space for the three of us to work.

"For more quick works, what if we were sharing works? It's not efficient, I'm calculating Mr. Ken's works, and you guys chatting," They looked at me, "you can working as the gossips will not runs out, over again, right?" Rose and Delinda laugh, "sorry," I sighed, "you can check the lists if you guys don't mind?" They nod, "honestly, I forget to tell you this." Delinda gives me her tab.

"You know, Ken?" I nodded, "he has been arrested because of assault on his former clients. I was afraid he would do the same." I nodded, "you already read his test?" She nods, "the test show itself," Rose looked at me, "maybe your radar caught something, right?" I nodded, "I can tell from the way he looked at these photos." I searched his CV

I showed them his CV, "the way he looks at the camera, I could tell that he was abusive, looked his sharp eyes, hard jaws?" Delinda nodded, "you need more practice in observing. That's why you can miss, Delinda. I will order books, and you should read them carefully, and you too, Rose. You should learn some table manners as well" they nod.

"So, what is your call? Should we reject him?" I shook my head, "we'll see on the camp if he protests. We can't hire him. You should find another," I took a deep breath. "Your qualify it's too high. Are you sure it will be working?" I nodded. "For the sake of the future," she nods. I continue, and I heard them talking about K-Dramas, "what about you, Lobak? Do you like K-Dramas?" I shook my head.

"I'm only like The Fiery Priest. That's drama hilarious," Delinda and Rose looked at me, "what? Is it a problem?" They both nodded, "oh come on, don't give that look." They get along very well.

" Okay, tell you what, I like The Fiery Priest because the soundtrack is also good. I talked about the opening soundtrack." They looked at me, "you not interesting in the actress or actors?" I shook my head, "but I like the way the writer told their background stories. The nun was the gambler, the junior priest was an actor, and the senior priest was a secret agent. And also they tell a story about an everyday problem in our life," they both nodded.

"It's sad if the writer not starting to write season 2, I wanted to be their executive producer if they wanted to make a new season," I eat my Doritos, "Doritos, everyone?" They shook their head.

"Where is your husband?" Delinda sighed, "he will go home late." I hummed, "office event?" She shook her head, "you should call him," She shook her head, "he was driving his boss home," a driver.

"I see. Why were you still working." She hums. I heard someone knocking on my door, "you expecting someone?" I grabbed my pocket knife, and I told her to stay calm, "don't make a noise," they nodded. I walked and put my hand inside my pocket. "Hey," what will she do here!? "What are you doing!?" She smiles at me.

"C-can I come in?" I open the door wide open.
