Keira was taken aback. "Wenna, you're going to help people pick up their parcels? Why?"
"It's a way to make some cash," Wenna explained practically. "Just jot down that I'll charge 50 cents per parcel. I'm available at noon and 6 p.m. every day. And don't forget to include my WhatsApp number so anyone interested can contact me."
Keira instantly remembered that Morwenna was strapped for cash.
After all, she had taken up a job as a caregiver in the hospital because she needed the money. Hadn't she given Wenna a gemstone hair clip? Wasn't that enough? Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Without hesitating, Keira immediately said, "Wenna, how much do you need? I can lend it to you... I mean, I'd like to help..."
Keira was careful not to wound Morwenna's pride, her voice faltering as if she was the one in need, rather than the one offering help.
Wenna chuckled, "I appreciate it, but I've already got a loan from my boyfriend. But you know, no matter the relationship, a loan is still a loan and needs to be paid back. Anyway, I have some free time around lunch and dinner, so I might as well make use of it to digest my meals."
Keira wanted to persuade her further but knew it would be futile. Once Wenna set her mind on something, nothing could sway her.
All she could do was help Morwenna post an ad on the school's online forum. And perhaps, find a way to give Morwenna something valuable.
The ad was up in no time, featuring one of Morwenna's headshots to draw attention, hoping people would recognize her and enlist her delivery services.
After posting the ad, Morwenna headed to the library. She flipped through resources and took meticulous notes. She planned to write a novel.
Dahlia had mentioned that nowadays, you didn't need to submit manuscripts to publishers directly. You could simply upload your work online, update it as you go, and the payment would be wired directly to your account.
Morwenna hadn't lost herself in this new academic environment. She indulged in the library for two weeks, soaking up as much knowledge as she could. After the orientation week concluded, she curbed her insatiable hunger for learning. She realized she couldn't possibly read all the books she wanted to in such a short time.
For now, she needed to make money. Working as a librarian conflicted with her class schedule, and parcel collection was an option. She also wanted to write. In school, these seemed like the best options for her.
In a few days, she had penned a detailed outline of 20,000 words, and the plot in her mind grew clearer by the day. Morwenna was incredibly diligent. Before starting her novel, she made sure she understood all the necessary details and background information.
The forum post quickly caught people's attention. Thanks to a performance at the welcome party, and a scene with the popular actor Matthew, nearly the entire school knew who Morwenna was.
While in the library, Morwenna had her phone on silent. As soon as she stepped outside and turned the sound on, her phone buzzed with notifications. Opening WhatsApp, she found a slew of friend requests.
Morwenna added them one by one. Before long, many messaged her, most requesting parcel pickups, with a few attempting to flirt. Morwenna ignored those trying to flirt.
Back in her dorm, she took out a notebook and began meticulously recording each request, replying to confirm she had received them. Seeing the long list of tasks she had yet to register, Morwenna's smile was brilliant and full of satisfaction.
