chapter 156

The leader promptly dialed Eric's number which he picked at the first ring."Is Lucy in trouble?"He straightened up. "Not in any problem Boss, but…"As he told him everything that happened after he left, there was a long silence."I am coming."---In the bar, Lucy casually sat beside Enigma Steel's executive and smiled at him. The manager, Charles klish, raised his brow as he looked at her. She felt his gaze traveling up and down her body and he whistled."Hey, beautiful."Lucy resisted the urge to twitch her mouth as she maintained her smile. "Hey.""I see you are new here. Never saw you before," he propped his arm on the counter and said as his eyes glinted in curiosity.She tried her best to act coy and sweet even though she felt creeped out inside. "Yeah, I am. Actually, I am new in the city and finding my way.""Hooo... interesting. What job do you do?" He took a sipShe shrugged. "Kind of freelancer right now. Jumping from one job to another as it suits my pocket.""Hahaha. Life must be tough."She pouted. "It is. I am new to this city life and it's so damn expensive! I cannot even afford the rent here."Charles clicked his tongue. "A beautiful young woman like you shouldn't suffer," he looked at the bartender. "One drink on my tab.""No, no! How can I trouble you?"He slowly inched his hand towards her. "It's no trouble dear. We should help each other."Lucy gulped and tacitly pulled her hand back without arousing any suspicion. "So Sir. What job do you do?""I am the manager in Enigma Steel."Her eyes sparkled. "Oh gosh, a manager! You must be so rich. No worries about finding a secure job or money at all."Charles acted modestly. "It's not a big deal.""It is. Your life is set whereas I…" Lucy sighed and looked away, distressed. "I wish there was some way to earn some quick cash. I don't have a proper job, cannot afford the rent and I am running out of my little savings. Life would be so sorted if I had more money…"Charles's eyes glinted as a cunning idea formed in his head. "You are really desperate for money huh?"Lucy rolled her eyes. "Anybody would be in my place. Life is so unfair."Mark, who was keeping an eye on her, was impressed.She was nervous at first, but now she looks so natural. Keep this up.Charles touched his chin. "If you want, I can introduce you to one job."She beamed as she looked at him gratefully. "Really? Do you mean in Enigma Steel? I am ready to do any work!""Any work? Are you sure?"
