"Did you order this for me?"
Lucy looked at Elaine and asked, her voice thick with disbelief.
"Nope.It wasn’t me."
Elaine gazed at her.
Lucy picked up the take-out and noticed that there was quite a lot of it.She also saw that there was a
note underneath the box.She picked it up and read the message that was written on it.
[You need something to replenish your body since you're recovering.I don't know what your taste is
like, but this restaurant's food shouldn't be too bad.] Elaine craned her neck forward and looked at the
note in her hand.
"Not bad."Lucy pushed her away and crumpled the note.
"This is nothing.He’s just taking care of his sick colleague.We all did that all the time."
Hector was very polite and gentlemanly to the girls when he was working in Soul.
Therefore, she did not fee] that Hector was so nice to her because she was so special.
"If I were another person, he would do the same, right?’ Lucy returned to work the next day.Maisie
knew that she had taken a day off because she was sick, so when she ran into Lucy while she was
waiting for the elevator in the corridor, she asked, "Have you recovered already? Why don’t you rest for
a few more days?"
Lucy scratched her head and replied.
"It’s fine.I’m feeling a lot better already."
Maisie patted her shoulder and said, "Work isn't everything.You also need to take a break from your
work from time to time.Although you're young, you can't work too hard and put too much toll on your
body.You haven't gotten married yet, so you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself."
Lucy nodded.
She suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh yeah, I need to...I need to thank Hector.He sent me
to the hospital yesterday."
"Hector?"
Maisie was momentarily stunned before replying with a smile, "So, you guys have met each other after
his return."
"Yeah..."
Lucy said in embarrassment, "He’s staying next to me now, and I’m kind of surprised, honestly."
"I see..."
Maisie replied, "I thought you guys have been keeping in touch the whole time."
Lucy quickly waved her hand.
"Nope, nope.I don't even know how to contact him, so we haven't been talking to each other for a long
time.It's just that I’m kind of surprised he's staying in the same building as I am after his return."
After they walked into the elevator, Maisie pressed the floor button and continued.
"If you want to thank him, you can just buy him a meal.After all, you're a neighbor right now, so it should
be even easier."
Lucy scratched her cheek and said, "But it’s so embarrassing..."She felt embarrassed, but she did not
know about her sister.
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about.You were colleagues three years ago, and you were the
one who led him when he was working here.Hector has become a lot more mature, and he isn’t the
same person as he was in the past," Maisie said.
She was not implying anything.She just felt like talking about Hector in front of Lucy.
Lucy seemed a little bit confused, and she was interested to know more about Hector.
"How was Hector like in the past?"
The elevator doors opened, and both of them walked out of the elevator one after another.
Maisie stuck her hands into the pockets and replied, "In the past, he was spoiled by his
grandmother.He was arrogant and self-conceited.When he came to Soul three years ago, I was
shocked by his changes.I didn’t expect him to become so mature at all."
The speaker had no particular intention in saying something, but the listener read her own meaning into
it.
Lucy was curious about Hector’s past but was too embarrassed to keep asking.
Two days later, Lucy came back late from work, and she bumped into Hector in the neighborhood.
Hector got out of the car, and just when she wanted to say hi to him, another two men emerged from
his car.
Both of them placed their arms on his shoulders and seemed to be talking about something.
Both men looked totally different from Hector.
They looked very dodgy, and one of them wore a big gold chain and a fancy blouse, which gave her a
bad feeling.
When they looked in her direction, Lucy hid behind a wall.
Luckily, they were looking in another direction and did not notice her.
