S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#39
At lunch Lucy was more silent with her face down. His appetite was slightly reduced due to thinking about his best friend's words earlier. He really does not know how to deal with his father and Lucy also feels bad to ask for Andre's help again. This will make Andre difficult, he must solve his family problems without the interference of others.
"Hey, aren't you hungry? Just looked at the food while stirring it. Don't you like it? What's the problem?" ask Andre bertubi.
Lucy let out a long sigh and leaned her body on the back of the restaurant chair. He put down his spoon and took his drink.
"I, there's a little problem. But I can handle it." said Lucy again picked up a spoon and bribed her food.
"What's a serious problem? You want me to help you?" asked Andre curiously.
"Owh, no.... No need, I'll handle it myself. I don't want to always depend on you either." Lucy said with a sweet smile.
"I like you depending on me, it's more fun than you can handle anything. Remember I'm your boyfriend, and I'll always take care of you" Andre said seriously.
"Alright, I'll ask for your help later if I can't handle it. I promise." Lucy said reassuringly.
"Alright.." said Andre smiling.
Andre grasped the hand of his lover gently. He believes Lucy is now a little more mature, even though she wants to help her lover through the problems, but she believes her lover is able to get through all.

After work, Lucy accidentally did not go home. He stopped by some shops to buy bread and snacks. When he finished, he went home on public transport. Lucy arrives in front of her apartment and steps in hesitantly, but somehow she has to solve her problems with her father.
Sure enough, while walking into the apartment lobby there was a middle-aged man sitting there waiting with a cruel look. Lucy walks up to the man who is none other than her father.
"Why did you come home from the office so long? Did you deliberately slow down your steps so that I couldn't meet you?" asked the old man with a snarl at Lucy.
"Dad, what are you doing here? Why do you know I'm here?" ask Lucy to pretend she doesn't know.
"You think I'm a fool, surely your friend has told you that I've asked him where you are, right? Tsk... Basic child does not know in profit." he snapped again.
Seeing her abusive father's temperament, Lucy plans to take him into her apartment alone. Other than being embarrassed by people he didn't want to make a scene there.
"Dad, let's just go into my house." take Lucy with her father's hand.
"Why? Are you ashamed to acknowledge me as your father?" ask the man.
"Not... I'll make you eat and drink. It's a little cold here anyway" Lucy said.
They leave the lobby and head to where Lucy lives. He walked in a bit of a hurry for fear that his father would make another fuss. Lucy opens the door and lets her father sit on the sofa, while she puts the groceries on the dining table.
"Dad, I'll cook something for dad. I'll wait here first." said Lucy softly.
"It looks like you're enjoying your life right now, you're living in a luxurious place like this and eating well" his father said.
"That's.... Just the office facilities, if my contract runs out I have to return this to the company." Lucy said carefully.
"Are you trying to lie to me? Obviously you've been dating that rich guy who broke through to you and worked at his company. How could you possibly lose your job" Lucy's father said.
"But dad, I also have a deal with him. This is not all given for free." said Lucy trying to convince.
Lucy put the soup that she made and warm drinks on the dining table.she also cut some bread to eat with warm soup.
"Father let's eat the soup, it'll be cold if not eaten immediately" said Lucy sitting in front of her father.
They enjoy eating with silence as they used to do. There is no joy at the dinner table like any other family.
"Aah.... I'm already full. Give me a little money, I'll go out" Lucy's father reached out.
"Dad, I haven't received my salary yet so I don't have any money" Lucy said slowly.
"Huh am I stupid, if you don't have money, where can you buy this food from? Quickly give me the money, I'm not at home here." said his father snapped.
Lucy took out some money in her wallet and gave it to her father.
"Well.... You work and have a CEO girlfriend but you only give me 15 euros?" he snaps while carrying the table.
"Dad, I really don't have any money" Lucy said.
"I can't believe it, shutting down your wallet" said her father, who forced Lucy's purse.
"Dad don't, I'm telling you the truth" Lucy said, holding her purse.
But Lucy's strength is not strong enough to hold her wallet in her hands. His father immediately checked the contents of his son's wallet savagely. But he found nothing but shopping receipts and bus cards.
"Aaaahh..... You really are a stupid woman, how could you already have a supporter next to you and yet you have no money. I'll be back tomorrow, I don't want to know you have to make money for me. Otherwise I'll make a fuss in your residence." Lucy's father threatened while walking out.
Lucy was silent to hear her father. He really felt unable to escape from his father's grip. Moreover his father who was very fond of gambling, this would put him in trouble. It was fortunate that his father did not find the credit card that Andre had given him first. If it is not certain the card has changed hands and he will be difficult to explain everything to Andre.
"Ahhh, what if tomorrow you come back here and ask for money? I really won't be able to get out of dad's clutches. Do I have to tell Andre about this?" mumbling Lucy hesitated.
Lucy tries to think about the problem that lies before her now. Looks like he has to tell Andre everything before his father wreaks havoc and commotion in the apartment where Lucy lives.
