chapter 7

Silence.The Mafia King looked at her unblinkingly.Frank was exasperated. "Boss is asking why do you think so?"Lucy was dumbfounded.He did? When? Is he using telepathy?Molly felt sorry for her.Poor Lucy."That…"Why? I assumed you were mute and even patted your shoulder pitifully even though you aren't! I behaved like that to an executive. I am supposed to die instead of getting selected for the job!Lucy realized it wasn't wise to bring the subject out if he seemed to have no problem with it.She cleared her throat. "It's nothing.""Well, then matter over. We will send you an official appointment letter soon. Be sure to be present on time.""Yes, sir." She bowed. "Thank you so much for selecting me! I sincerely appreciate the opportunity and I will work my hardest not to disappoint you."He stared at her for a long time and left without saying anything else.Lucy collapsed on her seat, feeling completely drained and exhausted as if she just won a war.Molly giggled. "Was Frank his assistant or his translator?""That's a good question. Ah, I am so tired. It felt like I was playing a guessing game but I terribly lost.""True. He is handsome indeed but a little eccentric."Lucy smacked her. "Don't say that about my Godly handsome man. He is not eccentric, but just a little quiet.""..."You are throwing my words back at me now?"Anyway but congratulations! You got the job, Lucy! And he personally called you. Damn everybody would be so jealous right now," Molly giggled and winked.Lucy sheepishly grinned. "Well, I am happy too. My love called out my name.

"What will I do if his company doesn't allow work relationships? How will my Godly handsome prince propose to me?""..."She sighed. "You are impossible."---After completing some formalities, Lucy happily whistled a tune and was practically hopping in happiness.I got a job! I got a job! And at my Godly handsome prince's company! God, is this fate?Suddenly, Lucy widened her eyes as her foot tripped into something. She stumbled and crashed on the ground."Tch, tch Lucy. Can you not even walk properly now?""Don't go near her laura. Her silliness has no cure. What if you catch it?"Laura Bailey and her friends mockingly laughed.Ow, ow.Lucy furrowed her brows as the bruises on her knees and elbow stung in pain. As she raised her head, she saw a pair of tall and lean legs greeting her eyes."Ah, perfect timing! Help me get up please."She unreservedly clutched the man's coat, pulled it towards her, and taking its support, she got up. Without looking properly at the man, she grabbed his hands and shook them hard."You are a savior! Hehe, thank you so-"Then as if lightning struck her, she stood rooted to the spot. Words failed to describe her state as she stammered."G-G-G-Godly handsome prince…"
