Chapter 13 Part-time Husband (3)
He went straight to the 17th floor and walked towards room 1702. He wanted to knock, but after timing
it out, he stood by the door and smoked. Then, he boringly played with his phone for more than ten
minutes. By then, Johnny guessed that they must have already started doing it inside the room. He
smoked a cigarette while knocking on the door. As he thought of their possible rage due to his
continuous knocking while they were in the heat of the moment, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Who’s there?” It took a long time for Mr. Grant to respond from inside the room. He sounded extremely
irritated and impatient.
“I’m the maintenance man. Something’s wrong with the power circuit in your room. We need to check it.
Please open the door.”
“We don’t need you to fix it. Go away.”
“Sir, I hope you can cooperate with us. If there really is a problem with the power circuit, it could cause
a fire. We need to quickly fix it. If you won’t open the door, we’ll have to swipe open the door with our
own card. I’m sorry!” Johnny yelled with all his might.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t. Wait a minute. Fucking hell. What kind of shitty hotel is this? I’m never coming back
here again,” Johnny could hear Mr. Grant’s curses from inside the room. After a while, the door clicked
and opened.
“What’s there to repair? Johnny? It’s you?” He saw Johnny right away as soon as he opened the door.
“Hello Mr. Grant!” Johnny smiled, then he pushed Mr. Grant away and walked inside.
When he entered, he saw the so-called Bella Lamb from finance wearing a piece of outer garment.
Obviously, she wasn’t planning on wearing any clothes inside since she would be taking them off again
later anyway.
“Oh, Bella. Why are you here?” As he spoke, Johnny took out his phone to take pictures.
“Johnny, what are you doing?” As Mr. Grant spoke, he came over and tried to grab Johnny’s phone.
However, with Johnny’s figure, there's no way Mr. Grant could beat him?
“Johnny, what, what…are you doing?” Bella also panicked.
“I’m not doing anything. I just passed by and saw you come in here. So I thought, since we used to be
colleagues and Mr. Grant was even my boss before, then I should drop by and say hi. What are you
guys planning to do? Bella, why did you also take that off?” Johnny played dumb and asked as he
pointed at the underwear on the side of the bed.
“No, no, no. This…” Bella was also stunned. She kept shaking her head, but what's the use of denying
it?
Mr. Grant stared gloomily at Johnny. Then, he closed the door and took out a cigarette and handed to
Johnny. He directly asked him, “Johnny, just say it. What do you want to do?”
“What do I want to do? Let me think,” Johnny just thought of this question. He really didn’t think over
what he wanted to do.
“Just say it. How much do you want for you to delete those photos on your phone?” Mr. Grant
continued to ask.
“Money? No, I don’t want money. If I wanted money, wouldn’t that be blackmailing already? I would
never do anything illegal.”
“Then what do you want? What do you want for you to delete the photos on your phone?” Mr. Grant
was very angry.
“Don’t be so agitated, Mr. Grant. When you fired me for no reason, I didn’t even get this angry. How
about this, I don’t have a lot of requirements. Just let me go back to work tomorrow and expand my
area. Include all those communities along QY road to my area. Also, I need to have a break every
Wednesday morning, but rest assured, I’ll send all packages in the afternoon. What do you think?”
Johnny smoked as he sat on the chair and casually said.
Mr. Grant already looked extremely upset. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, delete the photos on
your phone right now in front of me.”
“Delete? I can’t do that. What if you fire me again after I delete it? Do you think I’m that dumb?” Johnny
giggled and put his phone inside his pocket.
“Johnny, I’m already giving you the chance. Don’t you believe that I can bring you down at any time
here in Pearl City?” Finally, Mr. Grant couldn’t contain it anymore and yelled.
“I believe you can. But do you believe that I can also bring you down at any time? I know where your
house is, and I know your wife. I’ve been following the both of you today for a long time already, so I
have a lot of photos here. If I show these photos to your wife, then wouldn’t you lose everything right
away? Don’t forget, you’re a manager now because of your father-in-law!” Johnny giggled as he talked.
Then he stood up and said, “Since you don’t think you can collaborate with me, then I don’t have any
choice. I’ll leave now. Bye!”
As he spoke, Johnny started walking out. He clearly knew Mr. Grant’s background. He was actually a
nobody. He just married a wife and worked as a manager under a subsidiary of his father-in-law’s
courier company.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t. Okay, I agree to that. Come to work tomorrow, but you have to promise me that
nobody can ever see the photos in your phone. You should also not say anything about it. If my wife
learns about this, I’ll kill you first.”
“Don’t worry. I’m a professionally ethical person. I don’t care that you’re cheating. I just need work.
Since you already agreed, then I’ll go back to work tomorrow. I’m sorry for bothering you guys. Please
continue. Don’t let me affect your excitement. Oh right, Mr. Grant, you didn’t zip your pants. Don’t get
your little brother chilled or else you won’t be able to have fun anymore. I'll leave you. Goodbye!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Johnny giggled as he spoke. Then he walked out and closed the door.
After he walked out, Johnny finally couldn’t contain it anymore and laughed out loud. He could guess
their expressions at this moment. They probably didn’t have the excitement to continue doing it today.
“I can’t believe finding a job is this simple! It’s not hard at all!” Johnny giggled as he talked. Then he
casually walked out of the hotel.
The next day, Johnny started delivering packages again all over the city. He couldn’t let go of this job
because first, although it was a very tough job, his salary was way higher than most of the office jobs. If
he was hardworking enough, he could earn up to nearly six thousand a month. Brown Tee and Lucia
Levy had already worked in Pearl City for so long. Although they only needed to sit comfortably inside
the office for the entire day, they could only earn around four thousand a month. However, the most
important reason was that he could run around the city as a delivery man. Johnny needed this because
he hoped to meet the woman he had been looking for one day.
“Come here, Johnny. Let’s drink together tonight,” After Lucia finished cooking food, Brown took a few
bottles of beer and put them on the table. He popped one open and gave it to Johnny.
“You must have ill intentions for suddenly being so friendly to me. Let me tell you. If you’re asking for
money, I don’t have any, but I’ve got one life,” Johnny spoke after looking at Brown.
“Your words are too hurtful. Am I this kind of person in your eyes?”
“A little bit. Well, I know it’s not good news whenever you suddenly become warm to me. Just say it.
What do you want me to do this time?” Johnny drank a sip of beer and started eating the side dishes.
Lucia rolled her eyes at Brown and directly said, “Ugh, you can’t even say it, you dumbass. Johnny,
he’s embarrassed to say it, so I’ll say it. You already know that the two of us have been living in this
small home together. It’s fine that you live here in our home for a few days, but a grown man like you
have been living here for a few months already. It’s really inconvenient for us. You also said before that
you earn fifteen thousand every month from working as the father of that woman’s son. With your
salary of five or six thousand from your delivery job, that’s a total of more than twenty thousand. Are
you still reluctant to rent a place for yourself with twenty thousand? We also feel really bad that you
have to crowd here with us and sleep on the sofa every day!”
