The Charm of the Director

Episode 4

"Jessy!! be careful on the road, baby.." Grandma Smith called out to him so excitedly in the morning. The woman, who is more than half a century old, is drying her clothes. He was used to calling Jessy who was going to work.

Jessy waved her hand at the grandmother. "Yes, grandma!" his yell.

A bright morning. After last night he did some relaxation, this morning he felt his body was very good. And he was ready for his job. Keeping the laundry place for almost 10 hours is not an easy thing. Not to mention the users of laundry services always tease him. Both young men and older men used to tease her. According to the owner of the laundry, it was because he was too innocent. So easily lied to. He doesn't care, as long as he gets the money. Most importantly the man was not rude to her.

The journey to work takes almost 45 minutes. Unlike going home from work which takes 15 minutes faster. It has to pass through several blocks and cross several skyscrapers. That takes a long time.

Someone looked at Jessy while she was changing clothes. The owner of the known laundry is named Mrs. Patty, come in and give her the paper. His slightly larger body made it a little difficult to walk.

Jessy approached him first and looked at the paper in his hand.

"What's this?"

"You should take the laundry from one of our customers. Usually the waiter from the apartment specifically came to this place. But today he couldn't come. The apartment is just a block from here. The owner is waiting for you."

"Shall I take it?" ask Jessy.

"Who else should I ask if it's not you." replied Mrs Party a little sewot.

"alright. I'm going to go now." Jessy said lazily while looking at the wall clock. He picked up his bag and ran out.

Dean's making his breakfast. He made a few slices of bread and a cup of coffee. Dean is a disciplined man. No matter how late he sleeps, he will not wake up. Dean looked at his wall clock. He had called the laundry officer an hour ago. But it hasn't arrived yet. He did not like to see his dirty clothes still in his room this morning.

He got out of his chair and walked towards the porch. The air this morning was cool because since he came home last night, it was raining outside. Although not as big as usual. Several pedestrians visible from above appeared to be in a hurry. New York City streets look a little more congested than usual.

Dean lifted the coffee cup and bent his body forward to rest his hands on the window guardrail. Tonight he has to attend an awards show at the Stapless Center. He was sure there were a lot of reporters there.

The sound of the phone ringing shocked him. He approached the table and picked up his phone.

Dean picks up the tv remote and turns on the showbiz channel. One of the news anchors reported her relationship with one of the actresses in the film. Not something strange.

Dean turned his body back without turning off the television. But he turned his body back when the news anchor discussed sex tape between himself and the actress that was reported to be the hottest news this morning.

Dean shook his head. Cindy has given him a headache. Creating fake news to achieve popularity.

"Did it happen that way?" ask Harris.

"I don't remember." replied Dean cuek.

"You slept with Cindy?" ask Harris back.

"I don't know! I don't remember." replied Dean annoyed. He turned off his phone and sat on the sofa anxiously. He believes once a night the reporters will surround him. A hot news on the same day when he had to attend an awards show. He has to do something.

I heard the doorbell ringing. Dean came to the door and opened it.

A cute girl in a uniform with the words OneLaundry stood in front of her. He has a smile that no one else has.

"You must be the laundry clerk I called an hour ago?" ask Dean.

"Rubber. It just so happened that we had a lot of laundry, so I was a little late coming here. Where are the clothes I should bring?" Ask Jessy kindly.

Dean smiles. Even when he saw her, this woman in front of him seemed to be uninterested in him.

"Follow me" replied Dean as he walked inside.
