Anna POV
It was only 5 pm when a man came inside the restaurant. He wore a neat black suit. He sat down on the table for two on the corner a few meters from me. He ordered a coffee and started to open his laptop.
I took a glance at him felt like I'd seen this man somewhere. But customer came to pay for their order, and I didn't pay attention to him anymore. I forgot about him.
About an hour later he came to pay for his coffee. He stood in front of me.
" That would be 1.45 Sir." I told him the bill he had to pay.
The man was looking at me and he gave me 10 dollars bill. I accepted the money and gave him the change.
" Thank you, Sir" I said, smiling to him.
He put all of the change I gave him in the tip box and I thanked him for the generosity.
I though he would leave after paid like any other customers, but no. He stayed.
" Ms. Hart." he called my name and I looked at him again.
How did he know my name? In the restaurant we used name tag with our forename not our family name.
" I'm sorry Sir, do I know you somewhere?" I asked him if he related to me somehow.
" We met few days ago." he said without telling me where we met.
I looked at him and tried to remember. His face looked familiar, but I had no clue.
" I'm sorry sir, I really can't remember where I met you." I said honestly.
" Thats fine Ms. Hart," he said smiling.
" I want to offer you a job Ms. Hart." He told me at a sudden.
He wanted to offer me a job? Was he from one of the company I applied for summer job?
"And I can assure you it has a good income." He said looking at me meaningfully.
And then he gave me his name card. And I accepted it.
" What kind of job Mr....... Mason?" I asked him as I looked at his name on the name card
" I can't discuss it here Ms. Hart. Let me know if you are interesting and then we can discuss about it." he said.
" Please call me any of these days if you are interesting. The offer will only open for a short time Ms. Hart" he said before he left.
I bit my lower lip, my habits when I had something to think about.
Who is he? I looked into his name card. It said David Mason, Grant Security Head.
I never applied for his company. He was from Grant Enterprise. What kind a job he probably offered me? Grant Enterprise was a very big company, but why his security head offered me a job? was it a security Job? But why me? I didn't have any experience in securities field.
All this question came to my head.
" Anna" Anton, one of the waiter poked me
I turned to him and found him raised his brow, pointing to a women stood in front of me.
"I'm sorry." I said apologize to the women. I was zoned out again during my work. Duh.

Third POV
Anna took the name card from her bag, and layed her back on the bed.
Should I called him? I needed a really good job right now and he said he offer a good income. He didn't look like a bad person. Maybe I should gave it a try. Just asked him about the job, and if the job was not good just say no. Anna's thinking.
She decided to call tomorrow because It was late night already. And then she put down the card in the night stand and pulled the blanket.
Anna heard the window shattered. She lifted her shoulder and looked at the window. It was Josh outside. He asked her to open the window.
Josh was the only one who always got into her room that way.
Anna also did the same to his room. Their room were across to each other. Sometimes they were just screaming outside the window when they wanted to talk during the day.
Anna felt so sleepy and tired. The restaurant were full and she had finish 3 exam today. She nonchalanted to woke up and covered her face with the blanket.
" Anna, open the window!" Josh said half screaming.
‘ What is he doing? He will wake my mother downstairs.’ Anna said to her self.
Josh kept knocking at the window.
" Fine Josh" she said finally, imposed her self to woke up from bed.
She lifted the window up and Josh came in.
" What took you so long?" he asked.
" Its late Josh, what do you want?" she asked him, crawling in her bed again and pulled the blanket to cover her top. She just remembered she only wore short and a tank top without bra. She felt embarrassed and hoped Josh didn't notice when she opened the window for him.
" I can't sleep." he said," and I saw your light just off, so I think you haven't sleep either."
He followed her and layed beside her in the bed. He looked up at her room ceiling.
" What are you thinking anyway?" she asked him half sleepy, turned her body to Josh direction.
" Nothing, just the usual things I guess." he said
It silent for a moment.
" Whats your plan for this summer?" he asked her.
" Im looking for summer job." she said
" Really? Do you have any idea where to? " he asked her as he turned his shoulder to Anna's direction.
" I haven't dicide yet, but I have applied some. " Anna told him.
Josh looked at her sleepy face. She was only 20 years old, yet she had to worked and finished her study. Josh care about her and knew that her life was so hard, she lost her father when she was 15, and now she took the responsibility for her life and her mother when anyone else enjoyed life at her age. Yet she never complain.
" I have some money if want---" he said
" No Josh, I'll be fine" she said before he finished his sentence. She didn't want to bother him. She think Josh had help her a lot of times.
" You can always talk to me, if you need any help " he said turning his back against the bed. He looked at the ceiling again.
" You know, I care about you Anna...since we were kids..." he said turned her shoulder back to Anna's direction again.
No answered from Anna, only sound of her smooth breath. She fell asleep.
Josh rubbed her cheek and kissed her head.
" Good night Anna." he said.
He stood up and came out from the window, and then he slid down the windowpane.
