Billionaire's Identity

Chapter 4

*******Lucas's P.O.V*******

Oh God! What to do now! I must avoid those Mace-Techies at all costs. My brain went numb and can't think of anything. Right then an idea sparked in my mind bulb.

I went back inside the kitchen and pretended to heat up a dish. I set the dish on fire purposefully and then put my right hand on the dish as if to save it from burning. Ouch! My hand is literally on fire now.

"Leo!! Freya came towards me shouting frantically and took my hand away wrapping a thick cotton towel around it. What the hell on earth do you think you were doing? She took me swiftly towards the storage room for first aid which is on the right side of the kitchen. Everyone is outside chatting with the customers as they asked to see the team and share their compliments for the excellent lunch.

Freya cleaned my wound with some cool water and did put some burnol, pressed it gently with cotton and started to dress the wound. My whole body is tingling with her touch making me oblivious to the pain.

Suddenly there's a sound in the shelf behind me. It appears to be a rat and I hate rats, I jumped a little bit freaked out at the sight of the unwanted visitor. My head knocked the shelf making the flour from the cut open bag spill on me. Perfect! now no living being can recognize me!

Loud laughter from Freya. It was the first time I saw her laughing like that. She's so adorable with a small dimple on her left side mouth corner.

She guided me through the storage room to the unused sink at the kitchen corner.
"Leo, keep your eyes shut" she chuckled.

I did as she ordered. Her soft, smooth fingers are slowly running on my foreheard pushing my hair back. I felt the lukewarm water on my face and her delicate fingers moving in a pattern wiping off the flour. I never felt so good about injuring my both hands. An electric shock passed throughout my body when her fingertips touched my lips. I wanted to kiss them, kiss her right there.

"What the hell happened?" The same irritating voice. It's Howard.

"Leo has hurt his other hand while trying to save a dish from burning and the flour spilled on him accidentally" she took my side.

"Alright clean up this mess" Howard isn't in a mood for much longer conversation as he is gloating about his success at the catering event today with Mace-Tech.

Pilot helped me to change into some warm clothes of his. It fits perfectly as he is tall and muscular like me.

"Here," Freya shoved a couple of hundred dollar bills in my shirt pocket and said "After what happened today I don't think you'll be able to work soon and you might need to take a week off or so. Knowing Mr. Brown I don't think he will pay you during the leave period. This might help you a bit".

"No, no it's perfectly fine, I can manage" I took a step back refraining her.

"It's okay Leo, it's just not your day today. I remember you said you needed money. You can repay me later, don't worry". She insisted. "Oh, I forgot! Do you have anyone to take care of you at home? Seems it'd be a bit of a problem to manage with your hands like this"

"Ah, yes I already called my friend to help me out". I reassured her.
