Chapter 3: Meaningful Tasks
[Task #03: Smile and greet at 3 strangers and get a compliment.]
[Penalty: underwear goes missing.]
↳ [Reward: $10,000 + Mood Boost.]
Since the task was to greet strangers, he stepped out of his room to go out and find people.
But he saw the landlord arguing with someone over a call in a frustrated tone, while slowly pacing toward him, pausing now and then in the corridor.
Should I ’greet’ him first? Augustus thought and decided to wait for the call to end.
The landlord began moving, approaching him, and he could barely make out, "...yes, yes, I said I’ll pay," the landlord’s last words over the call before it ended.
"Augustus, when will you pay your rent?" he asked in a strict voice laced with impatience. And before he could continue...
Augustus interrupted, "I have already paid, Uncle Jacob," he said.
"Is that so?" Jacob raised his brows, but he knew Augustus wasn’t one to lie.
"Good, I have been collecting money from all the rooms, so the message might have been buried down," the landlord eased with a light smile.
