Chapter Forty Two
“Hey, baby, it seems like you forgot me, and I am worried about these new changes of yours,” a lady in her early twenties said over the phone.
“Okay, there is absolutely nothing to worry about, and I did not forget, just get ready for me tonight,” Mr. Gavriel said to the lady over the phone as he gave a wild smile when his mind displayed an image in his head.
“Then I would be expecting you,” she said as Mr. Gavriel hung up immediately.
Tina, still holding her phone, walked to the elevator as she planned on going to meet Luca.
She entered the elevator and pressed the first-floor button, and after some minutes, she came out as she walked towards the receptionist’s table.
“Hi, Luca,” she greeted Luca, who was working on his system, as he looked up at her.
“Hey, Christina, Wow, since you are here, it seems like you got the job, right?” Luca asked as he walked out of his section.
“Yes, I got the job, and that is because of you, Anabelle, and Mr. Aaron. I appreciate all you guys did for me that fateful day.” Tina appreciated it, and she did not notice that a button on her jacket had gone off, which immediately caught Luca’s attention.
“What the hell is this?” Luca asked himself as he tried looking at Tina’s burned chest without getting suspicious.
“Yeah, you do not need to thank us, all we did was what was supposed to be done, so I do not think there is a need for that,” Luca said, completely ignoring what he saw.
“Seriously? I still want to appreciate you guys, that is just my nature,” Tina said as she smiled at Luca.
“Okay, I accept your appreciation, but are you okay? You look stressed out,” Luca asked, as he could not bear to keep the question to himself any longer.
“Yeah, sure I am, are you trying to say that I look stressed out? No, that cannot be possible, and I assure you that I am okay.” Tina lied subconsciously as she tried to make Luca believe that she was fine.
“Okay, if you say so, I asked because your skin looks pale, your face and eyes look swollen, and in total, you looked stressed, but if you say you are fine, then that is not an issue, but as a friend, I will advise you to get enough rest, and if anything is bothering you, we are here for you, okay?” Luca advised.
“Are you serious? You guys would accept me as a friend?” Tina asked as her eyes glittered.
“Yes, of course, we would do that,” Luca replied.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” Tina said continuously as she clasped her hands together like a child.
“Do not worry, once I am free, I will hang out with you guys,” Tina assured Luca.
“That is good. We will be expecting you then,” Luca said.
“Please, I would like to ask you a question,” Tina said.
“Sure, go on. I will answer you as far as the question is within my capability,” Luca replied.
“Please, does Mr. Gavriel suffer from mood swings, like does he act rascally for no just reason and get happy for hurting other people?” Tina asked, and Luca stared at her with confusion because he knew exactly what she was saying.
“Ehhmm, yeah, he does, but not to the extent of making the person sustain injuries, the highest he can do is fire the person, but he does not get happy doing it, it is just a normal thing for him since he does not care about other people’s feelings,” Luca explained.
“Really? But why is he happy troubling me?” Tina asked without knowing when the question came out of her mouth, and when she looked up at Luca, his facial expression explained that he was already interested in the conversation.
“Can you explain better, Tina?” Luca asked.
“Okay, this morning I prepared hot black tea without sugar as instructed by Mr. Aaron, and I took the tea to Mr. Gavriel, but when he tasted it, he poured the hot tea on me, saying that I put sugar in it when I did not do that, so I had to prepare another one,” Tina explained while demonstrating with her hands.
“What? He poured hot tea on you because he claimed that you put sugar in it. That is bad it is total wickedness.” Luca said so angrily that he understood that he was talking about his boss.
“Hey, Luca calm down, someone might hear you shouting,” Tina said as she patted Luca on his shoulders.
“But that is not fair, you could press charges against him for that, but the problem is that you would not win the case because he has the power to buy the judges, it is really bad,” Luca said, expressing his mind, and that was true, no one could bring him down because he is the devil himself.
“Yeah, that is true, but I will just have to be careful around him so I do not get hurt,” Tina said as she massaged her neck.
“But you are already here.” Luca was still talking when Tina’s phone rang.
“I think you are having a call,” Luca informed Tina as she raised her phone to her eye level and stared at the unknown number as she sluggishly slid the green icon and put the phone on her ear.
“If you ruin this meeting for me, consider yourself dead,” the person on the other side of the phone said furiously as he hung up immediately.
Tina, confused, brought down her phone as she tried to recognize the voice.
“Oh God, it is Mr. Gavriel, I have to go now, have a nice day,” she said to Luca as she bade him goodbye.
“Yeah, have a nice day too,” Luca said.
“Thank you,” Tina appreciated as she walked towards the elevator and Luca went back into his section.
“What the heck was that on her chest?” Luca asked himself as he continued working on his system.
