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

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

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

“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,

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
