I returned the credit card that Dad gave me to the original owner with a heavy heart, but if I didn't return it, I wouldn't be like someone who started from scratch. No, I didn't start from scratch. My father gave me a start, with an investment of a hundred thousand and a store building that was transferred to my name.
So, I can do whatever I want with it, but I have to make sure that the investment generates a profit. It may even seem like I'm continuing something that was already underway, but with the current state of the land, it seems will be very difficult to make a profit.
"I left a card for you to use."
My father said in a gentle voice. I opened my eyes, shining.
"But if at any time you use it, the contract will be canceled."
"What?"
"Give the card back."
Jennoph said calmly, before explaining, in front of Dad, as someone who sees my goal as more important.
"This credit card is a great trap. It's like someone trying to quit drinking, but seeing a bottle on the shelf every day. No matter how hard you try to stop, you can't help it."
My father bared his teeth at Janephop in annoyance. When I heard that, I decided to follow his advice and not accept the card.
"No, I'll show you that I can do it!"
I said with determination.
"Then I'll do it my way."
"Now that's determination! Go on, daughter, I hope you succeed!"
My father said, waving goodbye to me, holding up the black credit card, which could be used without a limit of the amount, a temptation. I grimaced before deciding to firmly turn my back. In just one year, I would have that card too. No problem!
In the end, I had three investors: myself, Mawin, and Janephop, each with a hundred thousand baht.
Since we couldn’t decide what kind of business to start, we decided to open the hostel we had originally thought of. But first of all, we needed furniture.
“Hiring an interior designer would probably make everything look nicer.”
I said without thinking much, but Mawin immediately shook his head.
“No way, we don’t have that much capital. Designers charge by the square meter. And this three-story building, the design alone will quickly eat up three hundred thousand, not to mention the furniture.”
“And how will the design be nice if I do it myself?”
“You were born with good taste, In. Try to think of what can be done.”
When Mawin said that, I felt more excited. In the end, we decided to decorate the place ourselves, and we started thinking that the hotel should have earthy-toned main colors to look elegant, such as the gray of the concrete, the orange of the bricks, and the green of the artificial plants.
Just thinking about how to decorate it, all the frustration disappeared, and I started to have fun. Every day the three of us went to the stores to choose furniture. Although I wasn’t a fan of ready-made furniture, it was better than having nothing.
“Miss In, here are the documents for the loan, please sign.”
Janephop, who was taking care of everything, handed me the papers to sign. I signed them trustingly, since I usually didn’t read anything. But Janephop stared at me intently and then placed another document in front of me.
