S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#70
Lucy rubbed her eyes to convince herself that what she saw was her best friend and lover. He still can't believe it because they can come together without Lucy knowing or Andre telling first.
"It seems like what Rosy said is true too, you pay too much attention to other people so as not to be able to snatch Andre from you. But you can't see the closest thing to stabbing you first." said Luna.
Lucy raised her hand high and waved it while calling Andre with her greeting.
"Maasss.." cried Lucy to the point that everyone in the cafe turned to her.
Hearing a call that he was very familiar with, Andre immediately turned to the source of the voice and it made Carlo gasp in shock because he did not expect if Lucy really called Andre. He thought Lucy would just shut up and ask Andre right in the office.
"Darling, did you eat here?" asked Andre softly.
"Yes, you came here alone with Carlo? Not with Leon?" ask Lucy curious.
"No, I accompanied him because he came to my room to look for you. He thought you were in my room" Andre explained.
"Ah... Lucy I thought eating alone in the office cafeteria made me uncomfortable so I decided to catch up with you guys eating out" Carlo reasoned.
"It's not fun, but why don't you take her out to lunch?" ask Andre who is now sitting next to Lucy.
Lucy was speechless from Andre, very clearly earlier he had invited Carlo and he himself refused the invitation from Lucy.
"Is the food here good?" ask Andre to get Lucy's food.
Lucy was completely without a sound, she was still staring blankly at the food on the table. How could Carlo who he strongly believed stabbed him in the back, he could not even look at the face of Luna that he clearly suspected and he had been wary of all this time.
"You're gonna run out of my lunch if you don't eat it now" said Luna blurting Lucy.
"And Carlo, are you going to stand there until lunch is over and watch us eat?" ask Rosy.
"Then I'll join you guys, sorry to interrupt your lunch" Carlo said awkwardly.
Carlo believes Lucy has now thought that she has stabbed him in the back, she must completely rack her brain to convince Lucy not to suspect him and ruin his plans.
"Hey, open your mouth" said Andre suddenly as he thrust a spoonful of food into Lucy's mouth.
"Ahh, why are you feeding me like a child?" lucy was surprised.
"You were looking at the food without putting it in your mouth, so I helped you feed it" Andre smiled.
"It looks like this food is lacking, do we have to order again?" ask Lucy.
"All right, which one do you want? I'll pay for your lunch today" Andre said.
Luna and Lucy laugh at the police's words coming out of Rosy's mouth. Lucy slightly forgot her problem with Carlo for a while.
Carlo approached Lucy who was focused on her computer screen and the documents in her hand. A little nervous he greeted Lucy with a frightened look.
"Lucy, I want to deliver this document" said Carlo.
Lucy flinched and turned her head towards the source of the voice which turned out to be Carlo who had been standing beside her with a downcast look.
"Documents? It felt like I didn't need any documents." Lucy said, taking the documents from Carlo's hand.
"It was actually for Mr. Andre, but I was not comfortable to drive him straight to his room" said Carlo who was still downcast.
"Why not? It's not that you could have gone there for no apparent reason, now why not just go straight to the room?" ask Lucy ketus.
"Lucy's... Sorry I didn't mean anything else this afternoon, only I wanted to catch up with you for lunch together but didn't know where you guys were eating. So, I reasoned like that in order to catch up with you guys" Carlo reasoned.
"Carlo, you can call me and I'll send you the address. You know, what I regret is why you had to lie to Andre to say I didn't invite you to lunch together? Obviously I offered you and you refused. Don't you think how Andre responds to me?" lucy was upset.
"I... I'm really sorry Lucy, I didn't think long ago. I'll do anything for you to forgive me." said Carlo pleading.
Lucy does not respond to Carlo's remarks and continues her work, she is completely inexhaustible on the grounds that Carlo tried to corner her in front of Andre. Lucy picks up the phone handle in front of her and presses a number that turns out to be Luna's phone number.
"I'm sorry Miss Luna if I interfere, here is a document addressed to Mr. Andre, can you pick him up and deliver this document to him?" said Lucy politely.
Shortly after, he hung up the phone and put it back down.
"You can leave that document here, Miss Luna will pick it up and take it to Mr. Andre later. And I hope next time you can ask Ms. Luna to deliver important documents to Mr. Andre without having to see me." Lucy said back to work.
Carlo who heard Lucy's words felt very angry and upset, how could Lucy who he had known for a long time and was very close to him could ignore him even talking like that to him. He really does not believe if Lucy who used to always resigned if oppressed now even dare to fight back.
"Alright then, I apologize once again" Carlo said as he left Lucy's desk.
Carlo walked out of Lucy's study and passed by Luna who had just arrived, Luna's gaze very sharp towards Carlo who was now in front of her.
"Looks like you lost a friend's trust, you really have to try hard to find a reason in the future" said Luna smiled cynically.
"I'm sure you instigated Lucy so much that she thought badly of me" said Carlo.
"I? Without having to do that Lucy sees with her own eyes how her best friend can betray and stab her from behind even intending to snatch her lover. I'm not as stupid as you are to fight men." said Luna as she left Carlo.
