The annual function preparation part 4

“Go to a five-star restaurant and tell them to give this big order.”“Our place is a small shop. Can’t you understand?”.“And I’m trusting you to provide us with it. Other shops will not accept last-minute orders which Is why we came here to you.”“If you also refuse us, where will we go?”.“And why should I worry about it?” the old woman retorted.“You came here of your own will. We didn’t beg you to come here. Then it’s your concern to think about how you’ll be able to get your order without any problems at all. We are not here to think about it, are we?”.Lucy stopped Henry.“Come here.”“Excuse us for a minute.” She said to the old lady then took Henry a bit away from there.“What’s wrong?”.“Don’t ask me what’s wrong?”.“Why do you want to piss her off?”.“If she gets angry she won’t take the order.”“Yeah, but the way she’s acting with us, is not alright as well you know?”.“How can we let her off when we understand she is wrong?”.“That I can see as well. But getting into a fig

Final preparation

The old woman stared at Lucy for a couple of minutes. Then replied, placing her hands at her sides.“This is for your grandpa. Isn’t it?”.Lucy nodded. “Yes. Because of the task that he has given me.”“I have to fulfill my task in the best way. I don’t want to ruin his reputation or mine.”“Grandma, don’t be so rough on her. If she does need help, then help her out. Can’t help it, we can work it out for tonight, can’t we?”.The old woman thought about it for a second before replying, “if you are insisting so much….then alright.”“But, you have to work hard the same amount I’ll be working.”“Yeah, I understand.”“I’ll work hard.”“Thanks.”“You heard it, girl.” She turns to Lucy with a smile.“Your order is placed. Go back now. We will make the delivery by tomorrow 5 in the evening.” “I hope it’s alright for you.”Lucy smiled back at them.“Of course, thanks for listening to my request. I don’t know how to help you enough. Thanks a lot.” She shook the old lady’s hand, jumping up and d

The night before the function

Robin went to the living room and saw her lying. So he went up to her side and stood right next to hers.“Lucy…..”.“I’m tired to even talk. Give me a glass of water and leave me alone for a bit.” She spoke in a soft voice.Robin paused for a moment before replying, “Sure then.” He went back to the kitchen and brought back a glass of water then handed it out to her.“Here.”She sits up and took the glass of water from his hands.“Thanks.”She took a sip and gulped it down in one go.“How was your day?” he asked, taking the glass away from her.“Quite horrible.”“And why’s that?”.“Well…um….”.She heaved a sigh and took a deep breath, tucking away the hair which fell over her face.“There was a lot of work going throughout the whole day and I….can’t express how much tired I am.”“Oh….what happened at the office? They usually don’t keep you for so long, do they?”.“No, it’s….”.She explained everything to him.“Oh, no wonder you were cooped up throughout the day.”“But, weren’t they awa

Bad feeling

His words hurt Lucy like a sharp knife. It’s not like she’s not aware of it. Whenever he attends some family gathering they always find a way to insult him or her. This is quite common in their house.Everything he’s getting insulted for not able to contribute to their family. Even for being an orphan as they don’t know his family background.“He’s always looking forward to meeting everyone, but everyone hates him.” “He’s not supposed to receive this behavior from others.” “I need to cheer him up.” She placed her hand on top of his, giving a reassuring smile when he looked up.“if you want to go, then you should go.”“Grandpa invited all the staff along with their family members. We should go together.”“But-“.“You don’t have to care what others may think about you.” She said with a deep voice.“You should think about yourself more than anyone. And that’s all that matters.”“You got it?”.He paused for a moment observing her face.“Is she encouraging me?”.“She’s…..”.“What’s wrong

Arising opponents

“Here’s breakfast,” Robin comments putting down the plate of stir fried veggies which he made a while ago.Lucy was sitting waiting for the toast lost in thoughts.He went inside the kitchen again to bring the toast only to see her siting staring into the space.She didn’t touch her food and was just sitting still. Seeing this he patted her on the back.“Are you alright?”.She snapped back to reality.“What?”.“Does your hand hurt? Should I feed you?”.“Oh, no, I can-“ she looks at her hand, and picked up the spoon, only to drop it again.“Ouch.” The pain was quite severe enough for her not to pick it up the second time.“I told you not to pick it up, I can manage. Put down the spoon, and sit still. I’ll feed you,” he scolded in a gruff voice.“But-“ without letting her say anything else further, he shoved the food into her mouth.“Now, eat it.”“Don’t speak anything, just eat.”She didn’t speak and continued to eat.He takes her to the taxi while carrying her bag for her.When she h

Defending him

Lucy goes inside the office and searches for the people in her team.She checks her watch, “They were supposed to arrive by 8. Why haven’t they shown up already?”.She hops into the elevator, with crossed arms.Her eyes suddenly drop down to the injury on her hand.“The pain is still intact. Is this not going to heal forever?”.The next floor came, and the doors opened.A figure rushed inside in a hurry.“Phew, I made it in time.” Lucy recognized the voice and turns to see Julia panting. Her hair is wavy and in a mess, probably from running around too much.“Finishing work?” Lucy comments.Julia gazed at her and looked away, “Yeah, kind of, I had pushed down all the work on my team, so now they are kind of mad at me, and I have to work extra hard for the work that I didn’t do yesterday.”“No wonder you are in a hurry.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”.“Nothing.”The next stop came and Lucy gets off.“Damn, that Lucy.”Lucy was walking toward the hallway, when someone comes up from b

Her yearning

Gray glared at Lucy, his nose flared up and his eyebrows narrowing down on her figure. “Did you just call me a water-flea?” he yelled, stabbing a finger in her direction. Lucy smiled. “Not exactly.” “Then?”. “I called you worse than a water flea, that’s all.” “What?”. “Yes.” “And you deserve that for talking rubbish about him behind his back and in front of me.” “Aren’t you quite arrogant?” Gray grunted. “You are insulting me just for the sake of your silly husband?”. “Am I hearing that right?”. Lucy nodded, “Yes, you are hearing it right.” “He’s not being paid to listen to your insults and sarcasm.” “So, I hope you’ll stop with it.” “You all never learn your lessons and always insult him in front of others. Why do you do that for?”. “What has he done to you to deserve this?”. Gray gritted his teeth and glared at Lucy. “That’s because he’s a useless piece of crap who feeds on his wife’s money for a living and doesn’t have a single penny in his pocket.” “He’s leading

Countdown to destruction

“Are you in this with me?” Noir asked, taking a deep breath.Henry went silent. “You surely aren’t planning on backing out at the last moment, I guess?” Noir asked again, to clarify herself.“I paid you a lot of money.”Henry placed away the light in his pockets throwing away the packet of cigarette into the dustbin.“I have grown out of them, so, I’m not going to take them any longer.”Henry started walking again.“Don’t worry,” he stood in front of the elevator with his hands in his pockets.“As long as I have taken your money and gave you my promise, I’m surely going to do my best to help you out.”“But, don’t tell me to do something illegal. I don’t want to go to jail.”“You can be assured,” she replied with a smile.“I have good use of you. I’m not going to send you to jail.”“Not any moment now.”“What?”.“Nothing.”She took a deep breath and asked, “Do you promise that you won’t betray ,me?”.The lift door opens.He stepped inside while talking, “I certainly won’t betray you,

Splitting work

Lucy and Chelsa eventually came back to office by the lunch time.She goes to check whether Nick and Zoe had arrived or not.Chelsa opened the door for her to enter.Going inside Lucy saw Nick sitting while doing something on his computer.“Hey, when did you came?” Lucy asked, reaching up to him.Nick looked at her direction hearing her voice.“Oh, you two returned already?”.“Yes, just now.” Chelsa added with a frown.“I’m tired from running here and there all day.”“I can say the same thing.” Stated a voice behind them.Zoe came in through the door heaving a deep sigh.“Did you just come?” Chelsa asked.“Unfortunately, no.”Zoe looks at Lucy.“I was helping our your younger cousin sister. She was carrying some boxes and had dropped them, so I helped her to pick them up.”“Younger cousin sister?” Lucy thought about it for a second before Julia’s face flashes into her mind.“Oh, Julia.”“They must be hurrying up a lot to finish the work.”She looked at the watch in her hand.“Alrea

Afternoon is over

Some while after that, the food was starting to arrive.Lucy and her teammates were waiting outside the gate for the delivery van to arrive.Henry kept gazing at Chelsa’s direction and Nick noticed this.Chelsa was standing still, smiling to herself.Nick tapped on her shoulder, turning her attention to him.She looked at him with a puzzled face.“What?”.“You are-“.The sound of a horn came from the main-road.Lucy looked out to see that the delivery van has arrived.She met up with the delivery person.Then they had taken out everything.“Everyone, work together. We have to finish this on time.” She hollered at others.They nodded and had taken out the trays etc one by one.Olivia’s team member had seen this, so she called Olivia.Olivia kept her eyes on them through the higher floor.“Is that them?”.“Seems so.”“I need to tell Brother about it.”“Yes, brother. Are you listening?”.“Yes, Lucy and her team are taking the orders. What should I do?”.“Uh-huh.”“Alright. I’ll look for
