Ten Million Dollars Mission

c.2- Larissa Gudrum

"He enjoys to visit K café at night?"

L tilted her head. She had returned home from the work. It was like a hell for her to work nine hours a day. Being the hardworking character was a pain in ass for her. "What the fuck is this information for?! He has a jobless brother, visits K cafe, is hard to befriend. Seriously?!"

Frustrated, L shouted. The first meeting did not go well to be honest. Adelio seemed really hard to approach in the company. She must meet him out of the work field. "Oh, wait. I think I know how to grab him by the neck" All of the sudden, L's lips formed into a smile of relish.

"Time to work!" Rushing towards the closet, she picked a floral dress to head out. "K café..." With the help of map app, she discovered the location of the K café. The sun had set. The board calling part time helpers shone brightly in the sight of the woman. "Excuse me" L went inside.

"I am here for the part time job interview" A grin tugged at her lips. It did not matter how much she got or how many hours she had to work a day, what mattered the most was Adelio frequently paid visit here. Next day, L received an acceptance message from the café.

"A beautiful morning..."

Giggling to herself, L got out of the bed. Waking up to such message delighted her wholly. After changing into her work clothes, L headed to the company. "Good morning!" As usual, a shout of greeting conquered. "I can't believe she wakes up with lot of energy every day."

One muttered. "Everyone, shall I make coffee for you?" L asked under a smile. "One for me, please!" "One with two spoons of sugar!" Despite their dislike on the uplifted personality of the young woman, they could not deny how helpful and hardworking she was.

"Larissa!" Suddenly, the manager yelled. Capturing all the attention. "Ma'am, is everything okay?" L scowled. "Boss's secretary is asking for you! Did you upset the Boss?!" The manager came running in sweats. Upon the news, L quieted down in an instant.

The secretary wanted to see her? How bizarre... "Everyone, I will make coffee once I am done. Sorry!" Still smiling, L rushed out to the secretary's table. "Don't tell me Adelio told his secretary to warn me..." A murmur crawled up between L's lips as her mind thought of every possibility.

"Larissa! You are finally here, Miss Larissa!" 

Standing from a far, Luke waved.

Perplexing L. What's with the warm welcome? She expected him to frown or shout. "Um, did I do something wrong, Sir?" Scowling, L approached. "No, no. I actually wanted to thank you." Luke smiled. Hushing down the woman. The gratitude was unexpected one truly. "Pardon?"

She blinked. Did she hear this man wrong? "I had something urgent to do yesterday and couldn't arrive early to company. But you saved me by making a coffee for our Boss. Actually, he enjoys to have coffee once in morning and once at night." The information listed down.

"He would be frustrated easily if not. I really appreciate your help. By any chance, if our Boss spoke upsetting statements, can you please not mind? He is cold-hearted man. But trust me; he does not mean any harm." L quieted down over the non-stop persuasions of Luke.

The Boss's secretary seemed like a bright person who was really close with the Boss. "Please don't worry. I know our Boss is a sweet and caring person. Next time, I can fill in your spot to make coffee for him so that you can take your time." Grinning, L responded. "Awwn!"

Luke pouted.

"You are such a sunshine, Miss Larissa. Thank you." His hand reached out, grasping the woman's palm to thank her with a warm handshake. Still, it put L ill at ease. The over friendly personality of this man was uncomfortably unexpected. "I have to work, Sir." She sheepishly beamed.
