MY ONLY LOVE I : SHIP DREAM - Chapter 4:CHAPTER 4
Josh was less busy that day, when his boss Doug suddenly called him. “Josh, come in. I need to talk to you.” Josh was curious his brows furrowed “Yes sir, can I help you ?” Doug laughed “Nothing serious, just relax will you. I want to talk to you about a project. Let’s grab lunch together !” They went to the nearby restaurant. Doug just ordered some meals there, they went there with the other two staffs, one is Doug assistant Brian.
Doug :”This is Josh our new mechanic, this is Brian my assistant, and this is Hawk my senior mechanic.
Doug introduced them to each other. Then he started explain to them about his project.
Doug :”I have a plan to buy old and broken ships, cause they’re cheap. But I believe you can fix them well so that I can sale it again or use them for my own. How about my project, can you fulfill it Brian…Josh…? I’ve seen your work so far Josh, I’m satisfied with your achievement !”
Josh :”Thank you sir, but I still need a lot to learn, especially fro brother Hawk. If brother Hawk can do the project, I will surely join him.”
Hawk :”I’m sure I can do this sir.”
Doug applause them :”Wow, that sounds good, I believe I have the best man in my team. now let’s enjoy the meal.”
The next day, Doug gathered Hawk and Josh in his room to discuss about the project. Meanwhile his driver Manny were trying to fix the car engine but failed, he then went to Doug office to tell him about it, because he supposed to pick up Caren from school. “Sorry sir to interrupt you, I think the car is broken, I couldn’t fix it since this morning.” Doug creased up “What’s wrong with the car ?”
Manny :”I don’t know sir, I’ve checked the accu was good.”
Doug :”Josh, I heard you can fix car also ? Can you follow my driver ?”
Josh :”Yes sir, I’ll try.”
Josh went to his house together with Manny the driver. There he checked the car, in 30 minutes he could find the problem and fix them in an hour. Manny was getting ready to pick up Caren when Doug called him to the some errand work. Then Doug told Josh to inspect the car if there is another problem and use it to picked up Caren also. Josh followed his instruction but he didn’t know Caren’s face. So he just parked the car in front of the school gate hoping the girl would enter the car by herself.
He waited for half hour already, and some students had went out the school. Ten minutes had passed, he still patiently wait inside the car, then a beautiful girl in uniform suddenly got into the car “Mr. Manny sorry to made you wait a bit long… but you’re not Mr. Manny !” The girl looked around her “But this is my car, who are you ? Where is Mr. Manny ?” Josh smiled and glanced at her “I’m Josh your temporary driver little miss, I work at your father company as a mechanic. The car was broken and I had just finished fix it. Your dad had asked me to pick you up because Mr. Manny went to do some errand.” Caren smiled and felt relieve “Ouw OK then, just drive home now.”
Caren enjoyed her trip to home, Josh drove the car very carefully. She sometimes glanced at Josh, she admired his looks. When she got home, she called her daddy directly “Dad, my new driver was driving very nice. I like him, I want him to be my driver ! I don’t like Mr. Manny.” Doug laughed “Ling, he is a mechanic not a driver !” Caren insisted “But I want him to be my new driver starting now dad, please ?” Doug knew he always spoilt his only daughter and couldn’t reject her wishes “I’ll see his schedule for you.” Caren cheered up “Yehey, thank you dad !”
Caren is spoilt by her father since childhood because she lost her mom at very young age at 5 years old. Now she is thirteen years old, she is in middle school. It was her first meeting with Josh, she smiled all day remembering his good looking face and nice figure. She couldn’t wait tomorrow to see him again.
Josh, went back to the office after parked the car in the boss’s house. He took a bus to get to the office, there he reported his boss about the problem on his car before. Doug smiled satisfied heard his explanation “Josh, starting tomorrow can you spare some time to pick up my daughter from school ?” Josh about to left his office “Oh, how about Mr. Manny shouldn’t he her driver ?”
Doug laughed :”She asked you to be her driver. It’s OK, you just pick her up only for an hour. It’s my fault to spoil her all this time, I can’t refuse her wishes.”
Josh :”Well, OK I’ll arrange my time everyday about this hour.”
Josh left the office and back to the work place. He wondered why the girl wanted him, but then he ignored it and drowned into work again.
It has been a week already, Josh always there in front of the school waiting for her. Caren was so happy everyday she could meet him and stole glances of him in the car. “I hate math ! Josh can you fake my dad’s sign ? I don’t wanna show my bad mark to him.” Caren frowned saw her math result.
Josh :”I’m sorry I can’t miss. You’d better tell him the truth.”
Caren :”But I’m afraid he will be mad at me.”
Josh :”Are you having difficulties in math ? Maybe I can help you, I can give you some tutor, if you’d like too ?”
Caren :”Oh yeah, I think it’s a great idea ! I’ll tell my dad later!”
Caren’s face changed suddenly turn into bright smile, she was very excited heard his offer. When the car got home, she went directly to the living room, she took the phone and dialed her dad’s number “Dad, I’m sorry I’ve got bad mark again on my math. But Josh just said to me that he can give me some tutor. Dad please tell him to arrange the time OK ?” Doug was surprised to hear it “Josh said he can give you tutor ? Let me ask him about it.” The phone ended. Doug told his subordinate to call Josh if he came.
Josh just came to the office, he entered Doug office.
Josh :”Did you just called me sir ?”
Josh :”Oh yes, I heard she was disappoint with her math, so I offered her a tutoring. Do you allow me sir ?”
Doug :”Wow, you impressed me each day Josh with something new. It’s OK if you wanna tutor her math. I was about to find a tutor also, but since she found you then just try what you got. But you can do it after your working hours here.”
Josh :”Don’t worry sir, it won’t disturb my work here. If you don’t need me anymore, excuse me sir.”
Doug :”OK you may start tomorrow, you may dismissed now.”
