Chapter 48: chapter 48

Lucy asked, "Boss, did you date any woman before?""No.""Then how do you know how to say these things? I mean you know... like which makes a woman happy to hear. Where did you learn?"In short flirting, but she thought not to use that word."I didn't learn.""Then how do you say these things to me?""I don't know. They just come naturally whenever I am with you."*Badump*She flustered hard.He is flirting again. I cannot believe somebody like Boss can flirt when he doesn't understand emotions. Or maybe...he is just frank?"Cu-curry! Yes, curry. I will burn my curry! Let me concentrate!"She hid her blushing face and pushed him away.I decided to teach him the joys of emotions but what will it do to my poor heart along the way?---The next day, Eric had to leave early for work due to an important meeting, so Lucy didn't get her daily dose of handsomeness greeting her first thing in the morning.She had a quick breakfast with Mrs. Ziara and left for college.As she reached the main street, the signal turned green for pedestrian crossing. In front of her walked a small boy with a school bag on his back.Suddenly, she heard a loud screech and saw a big car approaching fast. Luct was horrified because it was about to hit the boy.The boy stood frozen and paled in fear."Look out!" She screamed.Luct jumped in and grabbed the boy. She fell and rolled down on the zebra crossing with the boy. Just a second later, the car sped past them and abruptly stopped.Luct gasped in pain as she hit her elbow and scraped her knee."Ugh…"She ignored her wounds and quickly checked the boy. "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?""Waaaaaa…." He started crying, feeling afraid."Ah, ah! Don't cry. Look, you aren't hurt anywhere!" She wiped his tears and tightly hugged him.The people gathered around them and murmured. "That was horrible.""Thank God you pulled him on time or else this boy would have died.""What an irresponsible driver!"Luct was furious just like them.She glared towards the car and stomped in anger. She banged the windows. "Get out! Is this how you drive? You could have killed that child! Get out right now!"The door opened and a man in a business suit stepped out.Janet Jackson looked in his early forties and strangely anxious for some reason.Lucy put her hands on her waist and exploded akin to a volcano. "Are you blind? Can't you see that it was a red signal! That means cars have to stop. Didn't you learn this during your driving lessons? You could have killed that boy! Look how afraid he is!"The businessman gritted his teeth. "I don't have time for this!"He was frequently looking around in nervousness."It's not my fault if that boy is so slow!"Lucy was stunned at his shamelessness. "He wasn't slow! You were too fast and driving even though it was a red signal. Are you drunk? Apologize!"Janet looked at her incredibly. "Apologize and me? Do you know who I am?"Lucy figured that he must be some rich businessman, looking at his rich suit and expensive car."I don't care who you are. You were about to kill a little child and you are flaunting your status at this time?"Janet was growing more afraid and nervous of everybody's attention on him.I cannot afford to stay here any longer or they will catch me!He quickly took out a cheque book, tore a leaf, and signed it. He placed it in Lucy's hand. "Here. Take this compensation. Happy now?"
