Me And The Mysterious Man's
Chapter 2 - The Arrival of Jack

After driving around for half an hour, Ben's phone suddenly rang. He received an urgent call from his boss. The man was told to hurry back to the office. Ben works at a private newspaper company in Louisiana.

"You can put me down here if you feel pressured!" Becca gives advice.

"No! I'll take you home first." Ben insists while turning his car around to return to Becca's house.

"Bahh! I'm not responsible if you get in trouble!" cynical Becca while crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"That problem, I can take care of it myself." Ben carved an innocent smile.

"Whatever!" reply Becca.

After taking a long time, Ben and Becca finally arrive at their destination. Becca quickly gets out of the car, so Ben can quickly get back to his office.

"Go there quickly!" tell Becca while doing the pose of expelling with the movement of her hand.

"Is that how you say thank you?" hatch Ben.

"Yes already. Thank you." Thank you." Becca forced herself to smile.

"Okay, I'll see you tonight!" reply Ben while closing the windshield, then just pass by.

'Now I'd better just sleep in the room, ' Becca's intention was in her heart.

At that time there was a car that stopped slowly right in front of the house Becca. As a result, Becca also reflexes to stop her footsteps.

It turns out that the person in the car is Charlie, the owner of the vacant house. She widened her eyes as she watched Becca's presence in plain sight.

"Beca? is that you?" asked Charlie, who now narrowed his eyes. He was a man who was already sixty-eight years old, so naturally his visual acuity began to fade. Even so he has a fairly fit body.

"Hi Charlie! you're right, it's me Becca!" greet Becca. He walked over to Charlie.

"Did you just get here?" ask Charlie.

"Yes, a few hours ago. By the way you're gonna live in this house again?"

Charlie shook his head firmly. "No, there will be new people here. So today I intend to clean up the house!" he said while walking along with Becca.

"You need help?" becca.

"I don't want to bother you, let alone you just finished a fairly long journey" said Charlie who was standing at the door.

"I'll take Jonas with me if I have to!" reply Becca while putting both hands into her hoodie jacket pocket.

"Here you go, don't bother your sister!" said Charlie. He looked around for something in his pants pocket.

"You forgot again? come on, Charlie, that's why I'm trying to help you." Becca shook her head in disbelief, then ran towards Charlie's car. He knew the old man was looking for the keys to his house.

"Can!" Becca smiled happily when she found the key to the house she was looking for. Fortunately the key is neatly stored in the car dashboard drawer. The girl showed Charlie the key.

"Haha! thank you Becca!" said Charlie who was actually ashamed of himself.

"You have to lead a healthier life from now on, so as not to have dementia. Your forgetting habits are getting worse, Mr. Brown," added Becca who has approached Charlie's whereabouts.

"I'll try, thanks for watching me" Charlie replied, inserting a key into the door. His position was turned back to Becca.

"I'll call Jonas home first!" before hearing Charlie's approval, Becca ran into her house.

Bruk!

Becca slams down Jonas' room door on purpose. But his forehead immediately wrinkled when he did not see the presence of the younger brother.

"Jonas?" now Becca's browsing her sister's room. 'Maybe he's hiding, ' he thought. He spread his eyes to all corners of the room.

Becca let out a long sigh, having failed to find Jonas. He finally came back to Charlie alone.

Charlie seems to be busy playing the vacuum cleaner in the living room. He immediately stopped his activities when he saw the appearance of Becca.

"I told you you don't have to bother with this!" Charlie insists.

"Let me ask you, Mr Brown, how many hours are you going to clean it all up by yourself?" reply Becca while doing waist-random pose.

"Maybe about three hours?" Charlie tilted his head trying to figure things out.

"That means if I help, chances are you'll be done in two hours. Maybe an hour is enough!" becca said confidently. Then immediately take the cleaning tool to carry.

"Well, if you insist, I can't ban it!" charlie held out both his hands.

"You haven't cleaned the second floor, have you?" asked Becca who was raising her head up.

"Yet, you can take over!"

"Okay Charlie!" Becca immediately walked up the stairs while carrying a broom and floor mop.

Becca cleaned the floor and dust deftly. He was actually cleaning carelessly, the most important thing for him was to look clean.

Upon entering a room, Becca accidentally witnesses the sighting of a mattress. He could not help but lay down his body. Moreover, the mattress in front of him looks soft and comfortable. Without thinking long the girl immediately threw herself down, after all she had also finished her work.

On the other hand, Charlie had already finished tidying up the house on the first floor. The man was now out to throw away some useless stuff. Unexpectedly a cadillac car slowly stopped in front of the house he was going to rent.

The tall man in the car got out. He's Jack, the guy who's gonna rent Charlie's house.

"Jack! why did you come so fast? wouldn't tomorrow? or did I forget?" charlie asked as he hurried over.

Jack looked at Charlie confusedly. "No, Mr. Brown, I'm coming today" Jack said with a faint smile.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten," Charlie looked down disappointed.

Jack smiled faintly and said, "No problem, it's important we meet now." He immediately picked up his belongings in the trunk.

"But I haven't cleaned the house completely!" charlie.

"Let's calm Charlie, I'm very good at cleaning the house." Jack reveals. Charlie had no choice but to agree. He immediately helps Jack carry the items into the house.

While he was busy cleaning up, Charlie suddenly got a phone call from his daughter. After getting the call, Charlie seemed to want to hurry home.

"I'm sorry Jack! I forgot to pick up my granddaughter, I promise I'll be back soon!" said Charlie who actually felt bad. But Jack did not mind it at all. Charlie had left in his car.

Jack looked a rude snort. He now stepped foot up the stairs. But when he enters a room, he finds a girl sleeping.
