Chapter 62
Samantha quickly shook off that ridiculous thought. No way there was absolutely no way she liked Leonardo! It had to be because he was too infuriating, always lingering in her mind, making her think about him more than she should.
Layla caught the look on her face right away, “ohhh? is my dear Samantha actually crushing on someone? Spill it who is it?
“There’s no one. I don’t have a crush!”
Layla teased, “Yeah, right. Your face is practically glowing red, and you expect me to believe that?”
Flustered, Samantha shot up from her seat. “I’m going to take a nap. I have work tonight.”
Lavda popped the last piece of cheese into her mouth. “You sure you’re not going to rest for a few more days?”
“Didn’t they say it’s a sin to not eam money? My knee doesn’t hurt anymore, and I can walk just fine. Of course, I have to go back to work.” “Alright, but like I said, if it gets too much, just take it easy. Don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
Samantha stared at the messages on her phone screen.
An unknown number had written, “Thattestaurant is really good. Did you like it? If you did, I’ll get it for you again next time.”
She had lost count of how many different numbers Ryan had used to contact her, never expecting him to be so persistent where she was honestly too tired to block
Semantha replied, “Ldon’t like it.
That should be clear enough, right?
Soon, his reply came. “Alright, I’ll get you something else for dinner.”
“What?” she asked.
Was he a chubor or something? Did he not understand human language?
That evening, Samantha got ready and headed to work earlier.
The club had been bustling with customers lately, and although she’d initially planned to take it easy, there were too many orders coming in. She barely had a moment to breathe before being pulled into the flow of work
After running around for a while, she was exhausted and thirsty, she made a mental note to steal a moment for herself at the very least, she needed a drink
She had just finished her last delivery and was heading to the break room when she spotted her supervisor, Juliet, standing inside. Oh, great. Looks like break time wasn’t happening after all.
“Samandlju?” Juliet asked, looking a bit confused when she saw her
Since everyour was wearing masks, Juliet didn’t recognize her right away.
Samantha nodded. “Yeah, it’s me.”
“sit down for a bit. I need to talk to you about something.” Juliet motioned for her to sit. The staff member who was about to hand her another order quickly passed it to the text available worker instead.
Samantha sat down but couldn’t shake a feeling of mease. Being called aside like this. Was she in trouble? Was she about to get fired? she had noticed juliet wasn’t particularly fond of her. Maybe this was it.
palit harded her a glass of water. “Have a drink first. We can talk after.”
The unexpected kindness caught Samantha off guard. Still, since she was already dying of thirst, the gratefully took a few gulps. “If this is about me taking time off the last couple of days, I swear I was really injured. My kure still hasn’t fully healed; you must have noticed, right?”
“Yeahi, Una mot planting to fier you. This is about something else.”
“This isn’t something I wanted to do is just doing what i was asked to do. So, don’t blame me forthis,‘
“What are you talking about, Juliet?” Before she could linkalı, dizziness wased over her. 1er vision blurred, and her eyelid Then, it hit her. There was something in the water!
Impossibly heavy.
