65. Paula's Move

Today was Paula's first day at the office. She got off at the bus stop closest to the office after inserting a five hundred yen coin. She immediately got off, without paying attention to the change, because she was not used to taking the bus. However, the bus driver repeatedly called her to pick up the change in Japanese. Of course, she didn't understand until a man took the change and chased after her to give the change.

"Miss!" shouted a young man, running closer in her direction.

Paula didn't notice it. So the man sped up, chasing ahead of her and shoving three hundred yen coins at her. He gasped for air, plastering a friendly smile on her.

"Here's your change, miss!" said the young man wearing a neat shirt with a friendly smile. "Next time don't forget to take it! Check it first before you get off."

Paula just smiled and nodded, feeling guilty for bothering others.

"Thanks!" Paula thanked him in Japanese.
