Chapter 118: Speechless
The next week passed faster than he had expected.
By the time Monday morning rolled around, most of the furniture and appliances he had ordered had already arrived at the grocery store. They came early, even before the main shift began, so only a few workers saw the trucks pull into the service entrance.
They probably assumed it was just a standard restock for the store.
Gray stood near the back hallway with a clipboard in one hand and coffee in the other, quietly watching the boxes being wheeled in one after another.
He had arrived extra early just for this.
There were chairs, a fridge, a new microwave, fresh lockers, a medium-sized sofa, and a few more tables. It wasn’t anything extravagant, but he made sure that everything was sturdy and would last the employees a long time.
He moved through the list carefully, glancing up every now and then as the crew unloaded everything.
He was able to get everything on the list; however, he had to cut back on some things, such as the number of chairs. He was also able to buy a coffee machine, but it was just a simple one.
He made sure, though, that it was from a reliable brand and that the machine would be able to serve the tired workers after a few hours of work.
As a starter, he also bought in some supplies from his own pocket. It was a gift to all the employees. He bought some packs of coffee beans and powder, some sugar, and creamer.
Of course, everything was from the grocery store.
