The Tenant In Unit 3
Chapter 1
*Birds chirping in the trees*
Cassidy Linc
Can I do this?
Cassidy Linc
Nah, I don't think I can.
Cassidy Linc
But I should!
Cassidy Linc
This is a huge step of being an adult
Cassidy Linc
But I'm only 20..
Cassidy Linc
Hi! Didn't see you there hehe
Madelyn Linc
Are you talking by yourself again?
Madelyn Linc
I think you need a therapist darling.
Cassidy Linc
Okay. Mom, I don't know if I can handle a business on my own.
Madelyn Linc
Yes you can. I believe you can Cas.
Cassidy Linc
But what if I fail? Dad spent so much money to this laundry business. I would feel terrible.
Madelyn Linc
Cas, your Dad loves you that's why he spent this much for you. If it fails, then it is what it is.
Madelyn Linc
But you should never give up
Madelyn Linc
This was your decision remember? To not go to college and have a business on your own?
Madelyn Linc
This is an opportunity. We will support you no matter what.
Cassidy Linc
Okay fine. I can do this. I love you mom
Madelyn Linc
I love you too sweet heart.
Don Linc
Hey! Why are you guys hugging without me?
Don Linc
This is the place I found Cas.
Don Linc
The rent is affordable, especially for a start-up business.
Don Linc
How do you like it?
Cassidy Linc
*Looks around*
Cassidy Linc
It's pretty great actually.
Cassidy Linc
The place isn't that big but for it's rent fee, totally worth it.
Cassidy Linc
We should take this. This is a busy place either.
Don Linc
Yeah, It's perfect.
Don Linc
Alright then let's settle this.
Cassidy Linc
This place is pretty!
Don Linc
Congrats Cassidy, you are now starting your own business.
Cassidy Linc
Thank you so much dad. I couldn't have done it without you.
Cassidy Linc
*hugs her father*
Don Linc
*hugs Cassidy back*
Don Linc
I wish you the best. You can do it!
Cassidy Linc
Okay! Let's do this!
Cassidy Linc
It's alright! First day will be slow.
Cassidy Linc
*suddenly woken up* Hi how may I help y-
Cassidy Linc
There's no one.
Cassidy Linc
I'll just call my bff
Pam
Finally started your business?
Cassidy Linc
Yeah! First day
Pam
Great!! So how was it going? Any customers?
Cassidy Linc
*looks around*
Cassidy Linc
There's no customers yet.
Cassidy Linc
But I'm sure there will be
Cassidy Linc
Oh wait I think I have my very first customer! *whispers through the phone*
Cassidy Linc
Yeah! I'll call you back.
Cassidy Linc
Good day sir! How may I help you?
Dexter Eliano
I have a favor
Cassidy Linc
What is it? Is it about your clothes? I will take good care of it if you want my service. *Smiles*
Dexter Eliano
Actually, can I ask you to not lock that door? *Points to the other door*
Cassidy Linc
You mean, the door that goes to the landlord's house?
Cassidy Linc
May I ask why? Hehe
Dexter Eliano
So I can go out easily. It's tiring to go around to get to the other side of the road. This way is much more easier to go out.
Cassidy Linc
I really thought he was a customer!
Cassidy Linc
Why would he even ask me to not lock that door??? I rented this place!
Cassidy Linc
He shouldn't be making this his exit! Duh!
Cassidy Linc
He wants to make this an exit?
Cassidy Linc
Does that mean he lives in there?
Cassidy Linc
Is he the landlord?
Cassidy Linc
He's too young to be a landlord though.
Cassidy Linc
*sigh* whatever
Cassidy Linc
Such a good morning
Someone
Hi! Do you guys do services?
Cassidy Linc
Hello! Yes we actually do.
Cassidy Linc
I'll take care of your clothes ma'am.
Cassidy Linc
"Finally! A customer!!!"
Cassidy Linc
Dang, these clothes are a lot.
Cassidy Linc
*Struggles to fit other clothes to the machine*
Cassidy Linc
Hello good morning, just give me a sec.
Dexter Eliano
No need. Just passing by.
Cassidy Linc
*Looked at the guy* eh?
Cassidy Linc
Oh, it's you.
Dexter Eliano
You're so fake you know.
Cassidy Linc
"What is he talking about?"
Dexter Eliano
I mean you were all bubbly and happy when a customer walks in. But after you saw me your face just went..
Dexter Eliano
Upset like you lost a lottery or something.
Cassidy Linc
*sigh* If you don't keep on entering and exiting at my area that I RENTED. Then I wouldn't be so disappointed everytime I see you.
Dexter Eliano
Hate me that much?
Cassidy Linc
You know what? Just go. I'm busy.
Dexter Eliano
Way to go first customer! *walks away*
Cassidy Linc
"Ugh! I'm really starting to hate this guy."
Chapter 2
Don Linc
How's it going in there?
Cassidy Linc
Pretty good! I actually got a lot of customers now.
Don Linc
Yeah I can hear a few machines running.
Cassidy Linc
Gotta go back to work now, these clothes are quite a few.
Don Linc
Alright then, take care!
Cassidy Linc
Love you too dad!
Cassidy Linc
Phew! Four more loads?
Cassidy Linc
We can do this!
Dexter Eliano
You really like talking to yourself huh
Cassidy Linc
What are you doing here?
Dexter Eliano
Just want to wash my clothes
Dexter Eliano
Hello? I'm a customer.
Dexter Eliano
Where's your bubbly and happy greetings?
Cassidy Linc
"What???" Why do I need to??
Dexter Eliano
You're always not in the mood everytime you see me.
Dexter Eliano
I'll just go to the other laundry shops.
Cassidy Linc
uh..."Sh*t do I really need to do this???"
Cassidy Linc
Hello sir! How may I help you today? *Smiles widely*
Dexter Eliano
pfft "Well that was cute"
Dexter Eliano
*smile* How much will it be for two loads?
Cassidy Linc
You can look at here. Here is our pricing list hehe.
Cassidy Linc
"Doesn't have an eye, I see."
Dexter Eliano
5 dollars each load?!
Cassidy Linc
Is there a problem sir?
Dexter Eliano
Too expensive
Cassidy Linc
Well usually if you go more further away to other laundry shops, their service would cost around 8-9 dollars.
Dexter Eliano
This should be on the house don't you think?
Dexter Eliano
Free? *smile*
Cassidy Linc
Why would it be?
Dexter Eliano
I own this area.
Cassidy Linc
Are you the son of the landlord?
Cassidy Linc
Well it isn't yours but your family
Dexter Eliano
I am part of the family.
Cassidy Linc
I paid this rental!
Cassidy Linc
"How dare this dude asks for a free laundry???"
Cassidy Linc
Want me to do your laundry?
Dexter Eliano
No thanks, I can do it.
Cassidy Linc
*Went back to the cashier area*
Dexter Eliano
Where's my detergent?
Cassidy Linc
I already gave it to you
Dexter Eliano
You did not.
Cassidy Linc
Yes I did. "No I didn't, I just remembered. But I don't want to be embarrass so..."
Dexter Eliano
Where is it then?
Cassidy Linc
Use your eyes.
Dexter Eliano
Just point it out.
Dexter Eliano
*looks around*
Dexter Eliano
Where are you pointing at? There's nothing in there.
Cassidy Linc
*quickly brings out the detergent in the table*
Dexter Eliano
*turns back*
Cassidy Linc
Oh, it's right here.
Dexter Eliano
You clearly just putted that this second right?
Cassidy Linc
Huh? No I didn't.
Cassidy Linc
You just don't use your eyes.
Dexter Eliano
"She's obviously lying."
Cassidy Linc
"Shoot, why did I even forgot to give him the detergent?"
Dexter Eliano
*chuckles* So afraid to lower your ego?
Dexter Eliano
Yeah right *grabs the detergent*
Cassidy Linc
*Acts like punching Dexter*
Dexter Eliano
*Turn his head to Cassidy*
Cassidy Linc
*quickly looked away*
Cassidy Linc
Wow, I'm hungry
Dexter Eliano
"I swear this girl is making me pissed right now."
Cassidy Linc
What are you doing here?
Dexter Eliano
*looked at them*
Pam
Oh you know thought I'd just stop by and see your laundry shop.
Cassidy Linc
Where were you from?
Pam
Went out to buy something
Pam
This place is pretty great!
Pam
*looks around* "oh..?"
Pam
Who is that guy? *whispers*
Pam
Don't you have like a receipt or something here?
Cassidy Linc
Yeah I do, but I forgot.
Cassidy Linc
He's the son of the landlord here.
Cassidy Linc
He was getting on my nerves earlier that's why I forgot some things. *Smiles sarcastically*
Pam
What? Why?? He's so freaking attractive.
Pam
I need to know his name
Cassidy Linc
Go ask him then.
Pam
And besides, boys don't really like greedy woman!
Cassidy Linc
What do you want me to do??
Cassidy Linc
You know what? He's not even worth it girl!
Cassidy Linc
I must tell you, he is pissing me off today. Just showing off how arrogant he is!
Dexter Eliano
Are you guys talking behind my back?
Cassidy Linc
Why did you just assumed that? *rolls her eyes*
Dexter Eliano
*laugh* I see, I must be wrong then. My bad. *Looks at Pam*
Pam
"Why's he so hot though.."
Dexter Eliano
*Went closer to the cashier*
Dexter Eliano
How much is it?
Pam
*signals to ask Dexter's name*
Cassidy Linc
*Signals not to*
Dexter Eliano
Uh...What for?
Cassidy Linc
"Gosh Pam..."
Pam
I-is this the name in your socials too?
Pam
Oh I see, s-she also need that info because maybe if you want your laundry to be left here for a while. She can contact you online!
Dexter Eliano
No need, I'll be bringing my laundry with me after it's finished.
Pam
*laughs awkwardly* Yeah! Of course!
