The feeling of my phone vibrating in my pocket makes me get it out and check what provoked this. A message from my boss.

< Sorry if I'm bothering you but I just wanted to tell you that I gave your number to my daughter. You're the only one I trust so I want her to have someone in case she might not be able to reach me. Is that okay with you? ]

[ Yes sure, no problem. I'm here for her if she needs someone >

< Thanks👌 ]

I put my phone on the sofa now that the conversation is done and lay my eyes on my laptop placed right next to me. I really like to know he trusts me enough to let me take care of his daughter whenever he's busy or away. I feel useful and helpful again in my life.

On top of that, his daughter is a good girl, so she's not complicated or hard to handle.

I shove the last piece of sandwich left in my mouth to eat and take my mind away, turning my head to the left to let it rest on the back of my sofa and focus on my laptop. I slide my finger over the keypad and work on the new project I need to complete the most I can.

Another vibration drifts my attention to my phone.

< by the way, I'm probably going to go out of the country for a week with my wife this month, could you keep an eye on my daughter? No need to say yes if that would bother you but I just dislike to let her all alone for so long... ]

[ What do you mean 'keep an eye'? Would you want me to keep her at my house? >

< Yes. Would that bother you? ]

[ No, not at all. I have enough of space for her, so I wouldn't mind doing this for you >

< sure? ]

[ Yes, sure. You know I'm always here to help >

< thank you so much! I will tell you a few days before we leave so you'll have time to adjust to it but I promise she will be quiet and won't ask for anything ]

[ Oh, no worries about that. I'm all alone at my house so some signs of life in here won't bother me😁 >

< if you need someone with you I can give you this little bug for some time, I would definitely be okay with it given the noise and rumpus she makes all the time😅 ]

[ She seems to be very calm and quiet from what I've seen. Is it the whole opposite once you're home? >

< yep. She's worse than my wife ]

[ 😅 >

[ But honestly, if you need some time alone with your wife, I'm here if you want a sort of 'babysitter' to stay with y/n >

< no that's fine, don't worry✌ ]

[ All right then >

As no other text is coming, I put my phone aside and take my laptop on my thighs to get to work for good.

6 am.

An alarm ringing wakes me up, my body still lying down on my sofa with my laptop close to my head. "Fuck..." I squint my tired eyes but grab hold of my phone to stop the alarm. I can't believe this is already time to get up, I maybe fell asleep five hours ago while working so I'm exhausted.
