Chapter 27: Lucasta’s New Friend
While Lucasta was panicking, she suddenly saw the taxi stopping next to the roadside, so she did not hesitate and ran to and climbed into the car.
– Take me to the Workday Company. – She asked while panting.
– Yes, lady.
Fortunately for Lucasta, the Workday company is a large and well-known company in the restaurant, hotel, and resort business, so the driver just needs to hear its name, he knows the address right away.
If he asked, she certainly did not know how to answer, the company’s name was the only thing she knew.
– Please drive fast for me. I have urgent work. She leaned forward and urged the driver.
– I’m trying, we need to ensure traffic safety.
When the driver said that, Lucasta did not dare to urge him anymore because the image of the tragic accident in her dream suddenly appeared in her mind.
Things will become horrible if the cars lose control and crash into each other.
The distance from Star Corporation to Workday company was quite far, the car ran out of the main road, then turned into a small road, then turned into a big road.
Right now, Lucasta only wished she could grow wings and fly fast.
– Oh, it’s over there. – She slammed her hand on the back of the driver’s seat and yelled.
A few days ago, Lucasta was taught by Samson how to recognize the denominations of money so she could count them.
After she finished paying the driver, she only had a few dollars left in her wallet.
She didn’t have time to reply to the driver’s thanks, but hurriedly opened the car door and got out because she saw Jemaine walking with three other men to the main door.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
– Mr. Jemaine, please stop.
All four men turned around at the same time and looked at the blonde girl with surprised eyes.
Jemaine narrowed his eyes because he didn’t know who the girl was walking toward him. He hadn’t raised his head while Lucasta had handed him the document, and now he was wondering how she knew his name.
– I apologize for delivering the wrong document to you. I came here to exchange them.
Lucasta’s apology could not ease the shame in Jemaine’s heart.
He used to be known as a meticulous person in the business world, but now in front of his partner, she is making him look careless, and unprepared before going to meet them.
Every day, when he received the document, he checked it, but today because he had to approve the backlog of reports from yesterday, he did not look.
He had trusted her because the staff who distributed documents had never been mistaken for even a small piece of paper.
– Why don’t you pay attention to the work like that? After all, how did you get through the interview? – Jemaine immediately scolded her to be less ashamed of his carelessness.
– I sincerely apologize. Today is the first day I went to work. Please forgive me. I promise I’ll be more careful from tomorrow on.
– I will propose to fire you tomorrow, there will be no chance for an absent-minded person.
Jemaine growled and continued toward the main door with the three men.
Lucasta suddenly remembered that she didn’t have enough money to take a taxi back to the company, so she hurriedly chased them to ask Jemaine to help her.
Jemaine clicked his tongue as he heard the girl continue calling his name. He turned his head and stared at her.
– I’m sorry, Mr. Jemaine. Can you… can you lend me some money? I need money to take a taxi.
Not only Jemaine’s eyes, but the other three men’s eyes also widened when they heard the young girl’s request.
They even thought she called him because she wanted to beg him not to fire her.
– Please walk back to the company. If you can do that, I’ll reconsider.
Lucasta’s tears involuntarily overflowed when the backs of heartless people were disappearing behind the glass door.
Right now, she wished Samson was here because she knew he would solve all her problems.
However, she couldn’t let him know this because it was like she was proving herself useless, unable to make money.
She was afraid her brother would use this as an excuse to bring her back to the castle.
She was afraid that Harvey would think she was an underdog.
– Hello, can I help you with anything?
A voice suddenly spoke from behind Lucasta, startling her. She quickly wiped her tears and turned her head to look back.
In front of Lucasta was a beautiful girl. She was dressed in trendy fashion, a short t-shirt showing her navel and short jeans with a tassel torn at the bottom of her pants. And the important thing is that she is riding on a motorcycle.
– Hello, my name is Calantha. What’s your name? – Calantha continued to speak when she saw that the girl opposite her was still silent.
– Hello, my name is Lucasta.
Lucasta’s pretty red mouth was sobbing, reminding Calantha of the dolls on display in her glass cabinet.
This was the first time Calantha had seen a girl with such a doll-like appearance. Even though she was an adult, she looked like a lovely child that needed to be protected and cherished.
– I’m sorry that I overheard your conversation with them. I’m also on my way to the headquarters of Star Corporation. Do you want to hitchhike? All free.
Calantha’s suggestion was like a life-saving spell for Lucasta at this point. She nodded rapidly and approached the motorcycle.
After her new friend put the helmet on her head, she climbed on the motorcycle and hugged the beautiful girl’s waist tightly.
The strong winds that constantly blew against Lucasta made her mood less bad. She feels very like this way of moving and she feels like she is flying, very refreshing and comfortable.
Because Lucasta closed her eyes to enjoy the magical feeling, when Calantha stopped in front of the Star Corporation gate, she was still lightheaded, not knowing that she had arrived.
It wasn’t until the person sitting in front called her that she woke up and quickly got off the motorcycle.
– Thank you, Calantha. Without your help, I don’t know how to go back to the company. Lucasta handed the helmet to Calantha and said.
– It’s just a little thing. Lucasta, do you agree to be my friend? – Calantha said with a smile.
– Of course, it’s a great honor for me.
The smiles of the two girls were as bright as the sun. They quickly exchanged phone numbers and promised to meet again to go shopping and eat together.
The moment the blonde girl’s figure disappeared behind the gate, Calantha also turned the motorcycle and ran straight.
Meanwhile, in the president’s office, Harvey was still scrutinizing the reports and unaware that Samson’s little sister had just moved a long way in the city.
Bonita herself was busy running back and forth between departments to urge the work, so she was completely unaware that her new colleague had disappeared.
Bonita thought that after Lucasta finished her work, she would go back to the president’s room.
It wasn’t until Harvey signed the final document that he glanced at the computer screen and he realized it was past ten o’clock in the morning.
After he did a few stretches and massaged his fingers, he stood up and walked so that the blood vessels could flow evenly.
– Come in. – He said when he heard a knock on the door.
Bonita opened the door and entered the room. Her eyes drifted to the sofa, and she was surprised that Lucasta was nowhere to be seen.
Before she had time to ask, Harvey spoke up.
– Where’s Lucasta?
– Is she still not back? I assigned her to deliver the documents to the twenty and twenty-first floors. I thought she had finished the job earlier than me.
She had just finished speaking when there was a sound of turning a lock, and Lucasta entered.
Even though the blonde girl was tired, she still had a bright smile on her lips. She told herself she would keep quiet until Jemaine reported her mistake to Harvey.
– Are you lost, Lucasta? – Harvey smiled and looked at her.
– No, I walk around the company so I can memorize the locations. Lucas lied.
– I almost played the loudspeaker to announce that I was looking for you. Okay, now we’re going out to lunch.
Bonita rearranged the stack of documents on Harvey’s desk and then took Lucasta’s hand and pulled her out.
Even though Lucasta’s legs were hurting because she had run so hard in the morning, she still didn’t show any pain and still tried to follow Bonita.
– Has Mr. Harvey had lunch yet? Lucasta turned her head to look at the closed door and asked.
– No, he only eats breakfast at home and he only drinks some milk at lunch. His diet differs from ours.
– He is very similar to my brother. My brother also eats very little.
Both girls quickly entered the elevator and moved downstairs.
This dedicated elevator is for two people only on the twenty-second floor and now Lucasta has been added.
Bonita and Lucasta’s position in this corporation was above everyone else’s because the two girls were appointed as secretaries of the president.
If Jemaine knew Lucasta’s background, he would probably admit his mistake because he did not check the documents carefully before receiving them and then took a taxi and paid her, instead of daring to blame and threaten to fire her.
– I’ll buy you the best hamburger in the world. I guarantee that after you eat it, you will feel as if you are flying in the sky.
Bonita pulled over to a fast-food restaurant and winked at Lucasta.
Although hamburger is the typical dish of this country, each restaurant or fast-food store, or food truck will make them according to their taste.
And this is the place that Bonita called “Hamburger’s paradise”.
After Bonita bought two hamburgers and two bottles of water, she took Lucasta to the park at the foot of the bridge to enjoy lunch while enjoying the view because she knew the blonde girl had lived in the middle of the forest for ten years.
Here, when people sit and relax on the grass along the river, they can admire the magnificent architecture of the bustling city.
Bonita was a very psychological girl, so she easily realized that although Lucasta smiled, inside this girl seemed to have something insecure.
Perhaps she was not used to the suffocating atmosphere of the city, even though she enjoyed living here very much.
– Lucasta, if you have something you don’t understand at work, just tell me, that way, you won’t feel pressured. Bonita opened the water bottle cap and gave it to Lucasta.
– Yes. Thank you, Bonita.
