Pizza delivery 1
Ruth was in her room, removing her clothes to take her bath. Suddenly, an incoming call popped up from her phone. It was Sandra. They were workingworking in the same restaurant, just that they have different days and today, Ruth was off.
" Ruth, please I need your help." Sandra said over the phone.
"Help in what?" Ruth asked, thinking it might be a personal thing.
"I want you to come to workshop. I have much delivery, 231 pies of pizza . I need you to deliver 50 pies to my kennedy at Zagon company on 17th floor."
"You know today is my off day." Ruth reminded her. She doesn't need anything that will stress her. She just need to take her bath and rest.
"I will give you 50 bucks for it." She said and Ruth started to rethink on the offer.
"I'm sure they are going to tip you as well." Sandra added.
"I'm coming right away." Ruth said quickly and cut the call. She took her bath, and wore one of her good clothes. She have never made delivery at zagon's company.
She applied some light makeup and zoom off. She received the package from Sandra and that was how Ruth found herself in an elevator, trailing up to the 17th floor, carrying ten stacks of pizza.
The elevator opened at the 17th floor and she stepped out into a hall way. The walls were decorated with live marine wallpaper. She did not even know the particular office to deliver the package.
As she was walking, she looked up to a door written "Zagon consultant" and knocked on the door. The door opened immediately and she stepped in. One of the three ladies sitting at every corner stood up and took the package from her.
" Mr. Kennedy would have signed but I will sign on his behalf." The lady said and signed the delivery receipt.
She was expecting a tip from the lady but was disappointed. she wanted to ask her but changed her mind. She don' t want to be seen like a begger.
As she was about to turn and leave, she nearly collided with a man.
"Sorry sir, sorry sir." She mumbled in fear and the man stared at her. He was wearing a black suit . A very handsome guy, tall and muscular.
His eyes flashed to the package before glancing at Ruth.
"Are you from Sundry foods?" The man asked and Ruth could feel herself blushing.
"Yes, that's me." Ruth replied, keeping her head down. She could not look up to the man's face. She was busy glancing at the tile .
"Can I see that receipt?" The man requested and she handed it over to him with the tiny tip.
The man frowned as he read through the receipt and asked her, "Who signed it?"
"It's me sir." The lady that signed it signified and walked up to where they were standing.
"How will you feel if you are sent to deliver this big stacks of pizza to a company like this, only to get no tip?" The man asked the lady.
" I'm sorry sir," The lady replied and ducked away.
The man smiled at Ruth and said, "I'm Kennedy. Come with me let me give you some bucks"
Ruth couldn't control herself. She followed him and as they got to the door, it opened by itself.
The first thing Ruth noticed was the wall. It was as if she was in another world. She walked up to the window. The only window at the four corners of his office. She could see the whole down and uptown of the big city and far off in the distance, the amazing glittering pacific. She was delighted and felt astonished as she suppressed a gasp.
"It's a great view from that side," said Kennedy, "Take your time to look if you want."
She walked closer to the window, careful not to smudge it. The view was amazing and breathtaking. Kennedy swept past her and sat down on his office seat and she caught a whiff of his perfume. There was no doubt that the perfume would cost a thousands bucks. Just like everything in his office, Kennedy looked sounded, even his smile was very expensive.
She heard kennedy sighed and she twirled her head towards him. He was trying to get something through his drawer. It seemed he couldn't find what he was looking for as he kept checking his drawers. Ruth was busy, staring at him.
She doesn't know if she was looking and waiting to receive the check or staring lustily at Kennedy.
"I cannot see my check book. It seems I left it at home." He mumbled and took his office telephone and half yelled ,"Lucy!"
"Sir." Said a feminine shaky voice on the other side of the telephone.
"Bring a fresh check book in my office now!." Kennedy said in a commanding voice.
"Right away, sir." The voice replied and Ruth could hear a sound clattering through the phone as Kennedy kept scanning his desk and surroundings.
"Lucy!" Kennedy said.
"Yes, My. Kennedy?"
"What are you waiting for before you hang up the phone?"
"Sorry sir." She replied and hang up immediately.
Kennedy dropped the phone and walked up to Ruth's side and took a quick gaze out the window. Ruth didn't dare look at him.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time. I hope they won' t be waiting for you." Kennedy asked.
"No, don't worry about that. I'm actually off today," She replied, looking at the buildings and busy roads. "I just helped my colleague to deliver the pizza. I will be going home from here." Ruth explained even when she doesn't need to.
"That's nice." Kennedy said as he stood some inches away from Ruth. She glanced over to him and saw him smiling while looking out the window. She could clearly see how handsome and manly he look.
He look so handsome but not to compare to Mike. Moments later, she realized that her palms were sweating. She could feel her body reacting. She tried to think of something to say to start up a conversation.
"This painting is so beautiful, Just like Josephine hopper amazing paintings." Ruth said,looking at the picture at the other side of the wall.
"Yeah, you are correct. It's one of her painting." He replied immediately and she looked at him and he looked back at her and let out a cute smile.
"I like all the decorations in your office." Ruth commented.
" Sure?" Kennedy asked.
"Yeah," She smiled at him.
"I like the fact that you like it." He replied and left his palm dropped on her bare shoulder. At that moment, she felt goose bumps rising on her arm and her heart started racing.
Just then, the door opened and Lucy walked in with the check book.
"You can drop it on the table." Kennedy said and took some steps to his office seat.
The lady dropped the check book and left immediately. Kennedy sat down on his seat and pulled a fountain pen out of its pack and signed the check. Ruth was still at the window, staring at him as he write.
"You can have this. " He stretched his hand with the cheek and Ruth walked up and collected it. She glanced at the letter and saw some zeroes but she didn't know the exact amount before snuffing it in her side pocket.
"I once work as an errand boy in a big restaurant when I was young," Kennedy said. "Terrible boss, terrible hours. So I normally tip any one that delivers food packages to me."
"Thank you very much sir," Ruth said.
"Well, if that's all, then I think you should be on your way."Kennedy replied and snuff the check book into his drawers. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Right." Ruth said in a shaky voice but she couldn't go. Kennedy looked at her, frozen as she stood. He smirked and asked, "Is there something else you need?"
