Chapter 31: Dinner with the Workday Company Heir
– Harvey said you have an appointment? With whom? – Samson put Lucasta down on the sofa and asked.
– Ah. The friend who brought me to Star Corporation is the vice president of Workday Company. Because she saw Jemaine mistreating me, she punished him by not accepting the design of the twin towers. And I asked her out for dinner to ask her to forgive him this time.
Her sparkling eyes filled with joy as if she had just saved the entire Star Corporation, making Samson happy too. In the end, she was able to make friends outside, and that person was a very good friend.
He believes that a good person like her will meet good people like her, who can help her when she needs help.
– Brother, you come with me, I’ve never been out alone, so I’m a little scared. – She grabbed his hand and begged.
– You took a taxi to Workday company alone. – He made fun of her.
– At that time, I was panicking, so I didn’t know what to do. Please agree to accompany me.
She took Samson’s hand and shook it back and forth, making him sway, too.
Honestly, he wanted to go out with her too, but this time it wasn’t just the two of them. It would be strange if he wore dark glasses while dining with Calantha, and if she wondered, he didn’t know how to explain it.
His eye color for Lucasta was normal because she had seen it every day, but he wasn’t sure about other people.
– I’ll ask Harvey to come with you. Just having someone with you is fine, right?
Samson patted Lucasta’s head and went back into the room to call Harvey.
Although Lucasta wanted to go with her brother more, she suddenly remembered his unusual eye color.
Perhaps he was self-deprecating about this difference, so he refused, and she did not force him to comply with her will, just felt a little sad.
Samson’s finger moved quickly across the phone screen and when he saw the name of the top person in the contacts, he suddenly remembered that he still hadn’t told Aurora about the fact that he had brought Lucasta to the city.
The list of contacts only had three people, so, of course, Aurora’s name appeared first, then Harvey, and finally, Lucasta.
After two rings, he could clearly hear the sound of the phone being picked up, but it took a few seconds for Harvey to speak.
If he guessed correctly, Harvey was probably enjoying fresh blood after a stressful day at work.
– What’s the matter, buddy? – Harvey asked when he had finished swallowing a mouthful of fresh blood.
– Please take Lucasta to dinner with Calantha tonight. I can’t go with her, my eyes will scare Calantha and run away.
Samson had just finished speaking when he heard a sound that sounded like someone spouting water, followed by a coughing fit.
He knew that Harvey was extremely limited in contact with strangers, but because of Lucasta, he had to ignore it as if he didn’t know.
Harvey watched the blood splatter on the large mirror and was displeased with himself.
Why is Samson talking while he’s walking past the mirror? Now that’s good, all the blood is splattered.
Harvey felt like he wasn’t getting old, he was getting younger, like a baby choking on water.
Because this was a request that would not compromise Samson’s safety, Harvey could not refuse. He quickly cleaned up the room and then chose a dark suit to wear.
In fact, he was afraid Calantha would look at him like an albino from his hair to his skin and clothes if he wore a white suit.
Anyway, he and Calantha had never met, she wasn’t like the high-ranking employees of Star Corporation, they knew that his family liked white and always wore white clothes.
When the clock struck eight o’clock in the evening, Harvey and Lucasta appeared in front of the Borage Flower restaurant. The moment both of them got off the car, all the eyes of the people around were focused on them because both of them were so beautiful and luxurious.
– Hello, Calantha. Lucasta spoke up as soon as she approached the dining table.
– Hello, Lucasta. Oh, you look so beautiful today. – Calantha exclaimed in surprise.
– I would like to introduce to you, this is Harvey, he’s the president of Star Corporation.
After Lucasta’s introduction, Calantha froze for a few seconds. She didn’t think that a girl with a close relationship with the head of the Star Corporation would tolerate being scolded by a design director in front of so many people.
And Calantha couldn’t believe that Lucasta didn’t even have a dollar to take a taxi back to the company.
– Hi, Miss Calantha, I’m Harvey, nice to meet you.
Harvey’s voice woke Calantha, she quickly shook his hand and invited the two opposites to sit down.
She had never seen the face of the president of Star Corporation, either the late president or the new president. She only heard rumors that his family is very mysterious, never publicizing family members, when the incumbent died, the successor appeared as if he had fallen from the sky.
If Calantha’s status as the heir to the Workday company had surprised Lucasta in part, Lucasta’s identity surprised Calantha in ten parts.
She did not expect herself to have the honor of dining with Harvey thanks to Lucasta.
– May I know what is the relationship between the two of you? Brother and sister or superiors and subordinates or friends?
– I’m her brother’s friend. That’s right, brother’s friend. – Harvey quickly answered Calantha’s question.
– Lucasta, why don’t you know how to take advantage of this relationship? You have to tell Jemaine about this. – Calantha turned to Lucasta and rebuked her.
– She doesn’t want to rely on me, she wants to make an effort on her own. I think that’s also very good. Thanks to that, Miss Calantha befriended her, right?
Calantha nodded slightly because Harvey was right. Calantha also did not want to show off her family background to many people.
Even her current boyfriend is a middle-class working-class guy and he didn’t know his girlfriend was a rich person.
When the waitress brought the food to the table, Lucasta suddenly had a stomachache so she asked permission to go to the bathroom for a while.
Because Harvey heard Calantha’s stomach boil, he told her to eat first, he also tried to pick up a few stalks of vegetables and put them in his cup to make her less shy.
The two of them ate together, unaware that not far away a girl was staring at them.
Aurora’s eyes were fixed on Harvey and the pretty girl sitting across from him. She knew that he never met or ate with anyone, but today she had to change her mind.
Maybe he met someone who made him break rules and habits, like when Samson met Eirlys and now Lucasta.
The more Aurora looked at that girl, the more she found herself nothing compared to her. This morning, she was overjoyed when she saw the hotdog in Harvey’s car.
Because Aurora was sad, she did not go home but drove straight to Samson’s house. She wanted to talk to Lucasta to make herself happier because her mood was so bad.
Knowing that Lucasta likes to snack, she bought some cakes and a kilo of apples, and a kilo of grapes.
Seeing the lights of the car flashing outside the gate, Samson thought it was Harvey bringing Lucasta back, but when he looked closely, he realized it was Aurora’s car. Her sad face made the night even more gloomy.
– Where is Lucasta? I bought a lot of fruit and cake for her. – Aurora said as she handed the bags to Samson.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
He smiled and told her that his blonde was on an important mission with Harvey.
– Did you say Lucasta was with Harvey? Aurora confirmed again.
– Right. Because I couldn’t let Calantha see these eyes, I asked Harvey. At least he can argue that the hair color is the result of the dye.
– His hair color is the pinnacle of color combinations.
Samson was unaware that Aurora had seen Harvey and Calantha at the restaurant.
He was just a little surprised when he saw that she was now happy from the heart, smiling honestly, not smiling like a forced smile to hide her emotions, like just now.
– If Harvey hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known you and Lucasta were in the city. Aurora took a glass of water from Samson and spoke up.
– I forgot.
Samson had no better excuse for his absent-mindedness. However, Aurora understood his mood. The decision to return Lucasta to where she belongs was a big and sad one to him.
Their time together is quite long, enough to form habits that are hard to break. Perhaps in his head and in his heart right now, only thinking about that day of separation.
– You should tell Lucasta to keep the castle a secret.
– Yes, Lucasta doesn’t want anyone to know about that place either. She said that place is a secret between the two of us, and will come back from time to time.
Aurora didn’t ask any more questions, put down her glass of water and walked slowly towards the door, and looked up at the bright flashes of lightning in the sky. She stood like that for a long time.
She felt sorry for both Samson and Lucasta. The innocent blonde still thought the castle was her home, not knowing that after a month, Samson would disappear from her life.
As for Samson, he will continue his lonely days in that ancient, lavish castle.
– Maybe it’s going to rain. I have to go home. Later, you tell Lucasta to call me; I want to save her contact number. Aurora returned to the sofa, grabbed her bag, and walked out.
As soon as Aurora’s car rushed to the gate, it couldn’t go any further because Harvey’s car blocked it.
Lucasta excitedly got out of the car and ran to Aurora’s side. When the windshield was just lowered, she happily reached in and hugged Aurora.
– Do you have to return?
– Yes. It’s going to rain. Next time I will come here and talk to you, please call me, I still don’t have your contact number.
– Yes.
Lucasta stepped back and waved goodbye to Aurora.
Outside the gate, Harvey didn’t drive away but just blocked Aurora’s car. Just thinking about what she said in the morning, he got annoyed.
Waited a minute and didn’t see the hateful car moving, Aurora immediately honked the horn to urge but he pretended not to hear.
– Looks like Mr. Harvey is deaf, just now he ate chili and got tinnitus. – Lucasta turned to Samson and told him.
– Really? If he doesn’t hear, he must see, right?
Samson chuckled and reached out to grab Lucasta’s hand as she was about to run out to scream into Harvey’s ear, telling him to get out of the way for Aurora to get home because it was about to rain.
