Sheng: “Where are my glasses?”
Hmm… not here, not here…
Where could they be then! ??
Door: Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock
Sheng: “Stop knocking!!!”
“You annoying person!”
(slips on the floor)
Sheng: “What a terrible day! All because of the glasses, and that annoying person ??(ò_óˇ)??”
Door: Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock
Sheng: “…If I catch you, you’ll regret it!”
(Finally reaches the door)
Voice behind the door: “It’s me… the new worker.”
Sheng: “Oh, right. {She came way too early.}”
(Opens the door)
Worker: “Who will regret it if I catch them?”
Sheng: “No one, no one… haha ??”
Sheng: “…Right, by the way, who are you?”
Worker: “I’m very sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Rorosia, I’m 21, from America. I’m the new cleaning worker.”
Sheng: “Alright, you can start, but don’t enter the room at the back of the house.” (points to the room)
Rorosia: “Oh… okay. Can I know why?”
Sheng: “It contains important things of mine, and I don’t want them damaged.”
Rorosia: “Understood. Anything else?”
Sheng: “Oh, yes… I can’t find my glasses.”
Rorosia: “That will be easy t-t…” (looks around the house)
Rorosia: “I swear, cleaning this house—or garbage dump—will take a whole year! And finding the glasses here… it’s like looking for a rose in the middle of the desert!”
Sheng: “The important thing is that you find them for me, because I can’t continue my work without them. Or hmm… I remembered…”
Rorosia: “You remembered where the glasses are? That would be a miracle for me!”
Sheng: “Can you stop interrupting? I was going to say I remembered I have a spare pair in the computer room.”
Rorosia: “What! You have a room full of computers?! Please, let me see it! I love electronics very, very much! Please, please!”
Sheng: “Impossible. I can’t let you enter this room. There are too many important things. I don’t want anything to ge—”
Rorosia (interrupting): “I beg you! I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you!”
Sheng: “Enough! I’ll let you have one look only, alright?”
Rorosia: “Of course! I won’t make a sound.”

Sheng: “Okay… follow me.”
Rorosia: “How can you walk through all this garbage? Whoa… What’s your name anyway?”
Sheng: “My name is Sheng.”
(After entering the room)
Rorosia: “Wow! This is a dream room! Surely more than five million was spent on this! At least it’s full of devices… and so clean, as if it’s new!”
(Sheng gently pushes her toward the door to take her out)
Sheng: “The sightseeing time is over. Out you go, and back to your work.”
Sheng: “I’ll go sleep. I don’t want any disturbance. I want to wake up and find my glasses on the table, and not find you in the house.”
Rorosia: “Understood, Commander!”

{A few hours later}
Time: 5:54 PM
Sheng: “Ah… what time is it now?”
“Oh no! I forgot the welcome party! …What! They’ll kick me out of the apartment if I don’t attend… only six minutes left!”
(Moves quickly around the house)
Sheng: “Oh… I cleaned the apartment and placed the glasses exactly as I told her. Better than some people who take money for cleaning! Haha…”
Phone: Ring ring ring
Sheng: “Oh no! It’s Yasmin… one minute left!”
(Answers the phone)
Sheng: “Hello… Hi Yasmin, what’s up?”
Yasmin: “Where are you right now!!!”
Sheng: “I’m on my way… the streets are very crowded, so I’m a little late.”
Yasmin: “Liar! The party is in the building itself!”
Sheng: … (hangs up quickly)
(Rushes out to the rooftop where the party is held)

Yasmin: “The latecomer has arrived!”
???: “Who is this person? I’ve never seen him before.”
???: “He’s older than most people here, but he prefers staying at home his whole life because he’s into games.”
??: “Come, sit with us at the table.”
?: “Do you even know his name?”
?!: “Doesn’t matter!”
??: “I thought he was the new tenant.”
???: “I see we should introduce him to everyone, Yasmin, right?”
Yasmin: “Correct, Robert Carter.”

Yasmin: “And this is Ahmed… you should know him, he’s my brother.”

?!: “He doesn’t want to… enough, stop talking, you annoying person. I see he should leave before he looks bad. No one knows him here except Yasmin.”
Robert Carter: “Boy! Speak politely to elders. Since when have you talked to people like this? We’ll talk when we return home!”
Lucas
Sheng: “Sorry… but I won’t attend the full party, I don’t have enough time.”
Yasmin: “Alright, but let me introduce you to the others before you leave.”
Yasmin: “You can leave after the new tenant arrives so you can meet properly.”
Kevin: “Do you want to join a fight, loser? There’s a wrestling match nearby… or are you scared as usual?”
Sheng: “I’m not scared, but I’m worried about you losing. Imagine if the famous boxer loses on TV to an unknown person… that would be a problem! (；”
Kevin: “Who do you think you are to say that, you damn loser! I see you don’t need a wrestling ring… your face is enough here and now!”
Yasmin: “Calm down! The new tenant has arrived!”
???: “I’m so late… sorry for being late.”
Yasmin: “No problem.”
Henry: “Yes, no problem. Can you introduce yourself?”
New Tenant: “Sure… my name is Lulus, , I work as an illustrator in a company.”
Anthony: “You’re really an illustrator? I love drawing! Can you teach me in your free time, sir?”
Lulus: “Of course… if your family agrees.”
Sheng: “Hello… I’m Sheng. My age doesn’t matter, my job doesn’t matter… that’s it. Bye.”
(Sheng goes down the stairs and hears voices behind him)
Sheng: “Finally… a break. I should call the delivery man.”
Sheng (on the phone): “Hello? I want my usual order… yes, yes… yeah… there’s a shortage in products? Give me three pizzas instead… yes…” (hangs up)
(Heads to the computer room to work)
Sheng: “W-what are you doing here!!!”
Rorosia: “Hoo… no! I’ve been exposed! I was just… cleaning! Yes, cleaning!”
Sheng: “What have you been cleaning all this time?! ??”
Rorosia: “Aaaahhh—”
Door: Knock knock knock
Rorosia: “The door is knocking! I have to see who it is!”
(Runs to the door quickly, opens it, and leaves)
Delivery Worker: “Aaah… w-what just happened?”
Sheng: “Nothing… what’s the price?”
Delivery Worker: “The total is 236 dollars because—”
Sheng (interrupting): “Take it and go! Hurry!” (closes the door)
Sheng: “I have to finish my work and see what this girl did.”
(After an hour and a half)
Sheng: “I fixed all the mistakes she caused. I must start now on Season Eight. Title: ‘Dawn Organization Coup.’”
(After two hours)
Sheng: “Ah… so tired. I wasted a lot of time because of the party and the problems Rorosia caused. I’ll go sleep now and continue tomorrow… nothing should stop me tomorrow… I think?”
(To be continued…)
