Can I Work For You?

The man who was inside the car leaning his head on his headrest with his eyes closed suddenly moved immediately he heard the girl's voice, he then opened his eyes to look at her.

“Little girl”

he mumbled upon seeing her. He stepped out and when he saw the awful damage on his car, he leaned on the opened door of his car, crossing his hands on each other as he looked at her. He was wearing a long blue coat, and he was simply breathtaking. His black wardrobe, his black hair and his car caused his skin to look paler.

He was simply out of this world that anyone could consider him to be someone who was out of this world or maybe existed on in dreams. His features were unlike anything that could come from the human world.

Lucia's mission was somehow impossible, loving someone who was never her class and will never be. A man who was respected by so many great men, he was a god! Lucia didn't think about those things, but rather her heart was where she placed it without any form of regret or change of mind or plans.

Lucia wasn't putting on glasses or putting on a face cap that day, nor did she make a fancy hair. She was dressed as usual, she was almost the same way she was the day she first spoke to him about offering herself to him as his girlfriend. That very night when the accident happened, Lucia's windows were down because she wanted air to come in, which made her hair look awful. The air that came from the window really gave her hair an awful look.

“I… Sir, I am so sorry”, 

she bowed, showing some sign of respect.

“ I am truly Sorry, I was just trying… to avoid hitting the passing vehicle and ...” He completed her statement. 

His voice was so adorable and pleasing to the ear as she could remember. 

“Yes” she nodded. 

“you are right, I wasn't speeding, please you have to believe me “Lucia spoke in fear.

“ If I tell you that I believe you, will that replace my damaged car?” 

“How much do you think will cost for the damage to your car?” she swallowed.

The man only chuckled, seeing her speak in nervousness. 

“ Sir, how much do you think it would cost to repair your car? I could work for you." 

She managed to ask again. 

“The damage may cost a 200 thousand dollars”

He looked at her and released a wicked smile. 

Lucia couldn't say any more word because it looked as if she was lost.

Where on earth would she get such an amount of money. 

Lucia was still lost in thought when the man chuckled? He moved close to her as he looked at her scarf again.

“Why are you always holding this?"

He asked. He had remembered that the first day he saw her, she was holding  the same these particular thing.

The nervous girl quickly answered.

“ Because i just like it.” 

" Wonderful, Oh"

he looked at her as if he was watching a TV show.

“ Is that your favorite stuff? Huh? “

“ I don't have any favourite stuff, my grand mother bought alot for me, so that's why I have many of it."

Lucia didn't know why her heart was skipping but, at lest, she was grateful that he didn't mock her for it. But on a serious note, are they going to talk about this in this current situation? What kind of man is he really is?

“ Indeed, your grandmother did an impressive job because this stuff suits you and you look like a kid” that calmed her down as if she knew what he was going to say. 

“ Why isn't he talking about the damage any longer?” 

She said within herself.

“Emmm Sir, about your damaged car, i... i...."

she stammered. She didn't know the exact thing to say, she also does not know where she could get such a massive sum of money, and she also does not want her grandparents to know if not, they might faint hearing that she had gotten an accident. 

As she was struggling to say a word, he chuckled again. 

' Is he okay? Was there anything funny about this?'

She looked at him with her confused face as he leaned in on her. “ You are really wonderful kid, you didn't look this scared when you offered yourself to me a long time ago, I think your sense of danger is messed up” he said and released a wicked smirk. 

Perhaps, what he just said was the truth. She was looking scared as if what she did that day doesn't scare her But to her, this was scarier because she could be jailed for this. And she had just one more year to live in this world, how could she just accept living what remained of her in a prison? Or paying for debt by working her remaining life out. It will be a painful one if that should happen. 

Now that he made Lucia remember what happened that night, something funny popped into her head. 

“ Do you pay your best friends?” she moved very close to Derek innocently. “ Do you pay your friends? Like i mean make me your best  friend and pay me for it.” she said.

The emotionless man looked at her, raised his brows upon seeing how serious she looked.

For a moment, she was mute, and before she could open her mouth to speak, she heard a voice.

“ You already know what she is trying to say, I don't even know why you should reject such an offer from this cute girl”

That voice sounded familiar, when she turned, she was surprised to see who was actually talking. 

“ Mr. Stranger?"

it appeared that he was also inside the car. He was resting his hands on his chin as he was the scene before him.

Immediately Derek looked him in the eye, the man smiled.

“ Hello Miss Lucia, I already know your name. yes! You are right, he usually pays anyone that keeps him company.”

He paused, gazing at Derek.

Lucia saw how Derek gave scott a dangerous look and that frightens her because the look was deadly.

“ Sir, I want to be someone who keeps you company.."

Scott said nothing but only let out a soft smile.

The girl's voice was decisive, and she said it with all seriousness.
