136 Gift

"Ah, yes," the manager said and gestured towards his servant who was standing behind him as if he didn't even exist until now. Everyone looked at the servant and their eyes went on his hand — he held a wooden box. The servant passed the box to Elora. The manager spoke again. "This is a small gift for curing me."

"But I have already taken…"

"Please, don't refuse," the manager insisted. "You don't know what kind of torment I have gone through due to my insomnia. I wanted to sleep but I couldn't. I wanted to feel that refreshing feeling after waking up in the morning, but I couldn't. You don't know what it means to me. I realised that one needs to love the small things in life and care about them. You only know their values, when you have lost them."

Elora hesitated when she saw his earnest and sincere face. She looked at Kadyn for help. But the manager spoke once more. "However, there is a problem with a thing inside the box."
