SALOKA RESIDENCE
CHAPTRE 034

“Wah!! It's very tasty. For the next, you have to make me coffee, if I come here,” Will said after trying iced milk coffee made by Jack.

Jack simply ignored him and returned the food board to its place.

“True. I heard from the CEO, you're writing something. What are you writing?” “I wrote a novel,” replied Jack walking back to his chair.

“Novel? Ahhhhh. It turned out that this intern was an artist. No wonder your coffee is like a work of art.”

Wil tasted a snack of mango pieces and went back to enjoying milk iced coffee.

“What is the genre of your novel?” “Novel Criminal,” replied Jack. “Criminal? Well, that's a very good theme. If you need a referral, you can ask me,” Wil said pretently. “Ya,” replied Jack briefly.

“Omong-by the way, are you staying at SALOKA RESIDENT?” “Ya,” replied Jack briefly.

“Then, you must have found many unique characters in that place. It's possible that a serial killer lives there, no one knows, right?”

Wil read the papers. Enjoy milk iced coffee and fruit snacks while sniffing. Saying everything that makes no sense, but is very possible.

“I'm sure students living in SALOKA RESIDENT are very difficult. Likewise with people who are too stressed, most likely they will commit criminal acts.”

“What if it turns out someone died there. That was terrible.”

Jack just shut up and started thinking about everything Wil said, even though Wil was just talking, and did not know what had happened.

“What do you mean?” jack asked Wil. “Breaths were even heard from the next room. There is no way that happened,” continued Jack trying to think positively.

“Hmm. Is that?” ask Wil. “One more thing you should know, in SALOKA RESIDENT there is no student,” said Jack.

“However, I am sure that all the residents there are people whose lives are quite difficult, economically or otherwise.”

“Oh, I just remembered. Take a look at the murder case at the coffee shop some time ago. Said it was triggered by an explosion of interior feeling.” Wil pointed at Jack and spoke with a frenzy.

“As long as I'm a reporter, I've met people like that. When you look at them, they seem normal like ordinary people, but they seem to hold something in their minds and feelings.”

“Their face is very gloomy and very depressed, but they just keep quiet and hold everything.”Whaddya think? Where would someone like that hide?”

“No! They smile,” said Jack spontaneously. “What do you mean?” wil asked not to understand Jack's words.

“It seems they are neither gloomy nor depressed, but they enjoy it,” continued Jack, leaving Wil speechless and thinking to understand Jack's words.

“Good morning!!!” Nick came in and said hello. He came with Kim and Winson simultaneously, but it was unseen that Mike came at the time.

“Gosh. Why did you guys just come at this time?” said Wil who stood up and welcomed the arrival of the employees.

“You're coming? You should have called before you got here,” Kim said standing in front of Wil.

“Where is Mr CEO?” ask Wil to find Mike. “Pak CEO? Is he not inside?” Kim looked into Mike's little room.

“Wah, she's already like a celebrity, it's really hard to meet her. Several times I came here and never met him,” said Wil a little upset because he could not meet Mike.

“Good. Then, I'll go first.” Wil stepped out of the room.

“Do you not want to wait?” ask Kim. “No need. Just tell the CEO, if I come here,” replied Wil.

Wil compliments Jack and leaves the room.

“Good. Be careful on the road,” said Kim who then sat at his workplace.

At Winson's place, he opened the drawer and saw one of his items that had disappeared, cutting off a nail. He asked Jack at once.

“Hei, Apprentice Child!”

Jack looked to the side without asking. Just looking back at Winson.

“Did you take the nail clippers in my drawer?” “Ya,” replied Jack briefly. “Why? Mr. Wil, he's the one who told me to take it. Any more questions? Otherwise I'll get back to work.”

Not wanting to continue the problem, Jack looked back at the screen.

In a small restaurant, there are so many visitors. They all consist of office employees who are meeting with clients and some young couples who are in a drunken romance.

The restaurant is small and not big. Using a classic custom with some beautifully carved stone ornaments, the restaurant looks more aesthetic.

In the corner of the restaurant, Mike meets Jane. A few snacks and a glass of iced coffee have been ordered by Mike.

It was enough to make Jack very angry, if he knew that Mike met his lover without his knowledge, even though they were just chatting together.

“Gosh. This restaurant is very crowded. Do I have to start a business like this?” said Mike.

“Omong-by the way, how about Jack, Kak?” ask Jane. “Gosh. We just met and you asked me about Jack. Looks like you're crazy about him,” said Mike Ketus.

“Not so. I just feel like, ever since he arrived in New York, he's been really weird,” Jane said, not knowing what Jack had been through.

“Wah, you're right. Turns out it wasn't just me who felt like that,” exclaimed Mike. “Every time I talk about SALOKA RESIDENT, he becomes very sensitive and serious.”

“Why is that? What has happened exactly in that place?” ask Jane. “Entahlah. Looks like nothing happened. Maybe he doesn't want to look pathetic, because he lives in that place,” replied Mike.

“Gosh. Your words are outrageous, brother. He can't be like that. I've known him very much more deeply.” Jane looked at Mike.

“Because of that, I'm asking you for help. Please watch him while he's in the office.”

“Listen to me, Jane. There is no boss as good and loyal as me, in this world. I even always treat all my employees at lunch, every day.” Mike bragging.

“Really?” jane asked in disbelief. “I heard, he was much complicated by one of his superiors. Tell him to be nice to Jack. I can't bear to see him complaining constantly.”

Jane sighed occasionally drinking her order.

“Actually, I am also very stressed because of my superiors. He keeps making me dizzy and always looking for a crack to get me in trouble.”

“Alright, Jane. You don't have to nag me. Wh why? Is your boss really that annoying?”

Jane just stood still and tapped on the glass with an aluminum straw, without seeing Mike ask her. He looks very depressed with his boss in the office.
