"I went into town to work with my neighbor, but I knew that the job she was offering was to be a prostitute."
\*
Scorching heat, bustling streets, and dust were scattering in front of his face. The girl in front of the store no longer cared about it. He just looked ahead, staring blankly at the crowded streets for reasons unknown to people.
"My wallet ..." Sluggishly.
Some people may look indifferent, but some others certainly look at the strange girl. How not? He did not move even a little from where he stood and continued to mutter the same word earlier. What the hell is going on? No one asked even though they were curious about the girl.
Ciiitt
Friction of car tires that stopped suddenly in the parking area not far from it made a pretty loud noise. The girl turned her head, finding an exotic-skinned man with a fierce-looking face descending from a luxurious black car. The man, whom he did not know his name, walked into a coffee shop without even glancing at him. The appearance is neat, with a suit and tie that makes it look authoritative.
Office people, yes.
The girl nodded. He still stared at the entrance of the coffee shop, looking at it blankly. The man was very handsome, but his fierce aura was so obvious. Although her face and appearance supported being the target of women, others would definitely feel intimidated if her gaze was always like that. And for some reason, it felt like he was similar to someone.
Yeah, I think he does look like that guy.
He could finally smile a little. He who was busy with his thoughts had become a little forgotten about his suffering today. Well, even if it's just for a moment. Because shortly after, the man who had not long entered the coffee shop was back out while carrying a cup of drink whose fragrance almost made the girl drool.
Ah, of course you are. Moreover, suddenly the man stopped his steps in front of himself who was busy daydreaming. And now in front of the girl who was still staring at him, he, the unknown man suddenly spoke harshly, "What do you see?" His eyes glare. He had already realized that the girl had been watching him since then, therefore the man came to him.
Does he have bad intentions?
The man stared fixedly at the girl's appearance, judging her inwardly.
The girl looked up slowly, suddenly realizing that their height turned out to be very much different, "Mr ask me?" Ask like a child. He tried to take his eyes off when he accidentally met a cold drink cup in the man's hand that looked tempting. The girl could only swallow her own saliva, trying to restrain herself.
"Ba--" she tried to hold back her anger. The girl who looked like an Elementary School child in front of him did not even have the right to call him with such origin, "I don't feel like I have any business with you!"
"I don't have any business with you either." The girl replied indifferently. That of course made the man before him dumbfounded. He even opened his eyes wide, not believing that the girl would fight back. Everyone knew that her face looked sinister, yet why did the girl not even blink when she answered him?
Disregarding the man before her, the girl suddenly turned her head as someone walked back into the coffee shop. His facial expression looked pitiful. Between confusion, sadness, and hope. Not a drop of water entered his mouth from morning. He knew he was very thirsty, but he did not know what to do in his current miserable state.
And with just a single look, this man before him instantly understood what the girl was feeling.
"You thirsty?" Ask. This time, with a slightly soft voice.
The girl looked over and shook her head quickly. Of course, he was thirsty. He was constantly standing under the hot sun without moving. He even looked extremely lethargic and powerless with his pale face. And even though he was like that, why did he still answer with something so different?
I guess I'll only be a subject of ridicule if I confess. People like them really like to bully people from the lower classes, so they----
"Well!" The man's voice made him stop talking inwardly.
The man thrust the drink he had just bought at the girl, "I don't think I'm too thirsty, so this is for you!" Said.
At first he seemed hesitant, not sure why the man gave him a drink for free. Don't they know each other? And again, it seemed like he had said something that made the man become annoyed. Then, why was the man suddenly being nice to her?
Putting aside all the questions, suddenly the girl grabbed the cold drink in the man's hands and drank it to the end before the giver changed his mind. Perhaps even, before the man was fully aware that his drink had now moved into his hands. He was so thirsty that he no longer had time to even just look at the expression on the face of the man who was surprised by his sudden movements.
After all, he who did not have a penny of this money would not be able to buy it himself if suddenly the man withdrew his offer!
And the person who had just given him the drink was again stunned, not expecting to see the figure of the girl who was unhesitating to look greedy in front of the man.
"You're so thirsty, huh?" His forehead shriveled with a slightly weakened voice. The person in question is just silent while enjoying his remaining drink. Heard after all, the fierce impression of the man still felt even though he tried to speak as gently as possible. The girl looked at him, looking serious.
The man frowned when he heard the girl's words. Although the call 'father' was quite disturbing, but now he was curious about something else.
"Are you used to it?"
He suddenly realized that it seemed like only this time there was someone who first talked to him but instead looked relaxed. Even the girl before him did not look frightened at all.
"Hihi," the girl chuckled softly. It seemed that his power had been replenished after being given a glass of cold drink, "My father is fierce." Said later.
Although the girl did not say that to him, but it can be implied that the girl was used to the way she spoke because she was as fierce as the girl's father.
"Basic stress!" Maki the man then.
The exotic-skinned man was intending to leave from there immediately, but the stressed-out girl suddenly grabbed his arm quickly, "Sir, wait!" Call her.
"Otherwise?!" Answer with annoyance.
The girl seemed to smile shyly, then looked at the man before her with a hearty look, "Anu, you can lend me some money?" Ask increasingly makes the friend talk inexhaustible.
The man's eyes even twitched when he saw the bravery of the girl in front of him that he didn't even know her name.
It's really stressful apparently.

"Damn!"
The tires leaked in the middle of the night. Though before he was sure to make sure everything was okay, then why did his car act in a quiet time and place like this?
The man got out of his car upset. With the condition of his tires leaking badly like this, it was very unlikely for him to return as scheduled. The car should be repaired immediately. But since it was already night like this, he would at least have to find someone to help him. The man was looking for his phone, planning to call his secretary to pick him up.
"Where's the phone."
He searched everywhere, but he could not find his black cell phone. Again, he tried to find her in the car. But as he has done, not a single hint of the existence of the phone. Is it possible that the phone is missing?
"She was also pickpocketed?" The sound made him turn around. At the stop not far from where he was at the moment, a familiar-looking girl looked at him with a serious face.
"Hm, it seems right." Mumbled the girl. The man then pointed his body towards the girl, feeling astonished how they could meet twice.
"You're following me?" Ask.
"Where is it possible." The girl replied quickly, "I also wonder how we can meet twice in a day." Say it blatantly. Like not accepting if accused of a no-no. After all, how could he know if the man would cross this path after they met this afternoon?
The man narrowed his eyes, feeling disbelief at the current strange coincidence, "How can I trust you? It's definitely not a coincidence." The accusation.
"Hah .. "the girl approached with a long sigh. He was no longer willing to listen to the accusations from his seat, "How should I prove it? I stayed here all day and night because I didn't dare to go home." Evidently. The girl was clearly speaking honestly. But whatever he said, it was certainly not enough to erase all the suspicions that the man had placed on him.
The girl then sat on the side of the road, hugging her own knee in front of the man, "I went to town to work with my neighbor, she said, but how do I know if it turns out that the job she offered was to be a prostitute." Evidently.
Even though he felt suspicious at first of the girl, still in the end he was surprised after hearing the short story that the girl shared. Poor, the man believed that the girl must have gone through a bad day. With no family or money, the girl looked confused this afternoon. And he believes it's not made up at all.
The man lowered his head, wanting to see the girl's expression now. There was a little bit of heartlessness when hearing the short story just now. There have been many cases of newcomers being tricked like that, but thankfully it seems that the girl managed to escape before something unexpected happened.
"What's your name?" Ask the man. The girl turned her head, ascertaining if it was really the man who had just asked her name.
"Zoya ise. Then father? What's your name?"
