27-Pack up

Sarah pov

I followed that Walter girl.

Yeah. Last night I followed her and got to a small ice cream parlor. Ice cream Heaven, I guess. She was offering ice cream to the customers with a smile.

Well! That smile was supposed to be professional. But Nah. She seemed happy. Like genuinely happy. She was just eighteen. Without a decent degree. Obviously, she could not get an executive job with it.

A guy came out of the shop with a big steel container.

“Hi.” I greeted him with a big smile. He ran a slow gaze all over me and looked back, thinking I was talking to someone behind him.

“I… am talking to you.” I giggled tucking my hair behind one ear, “I am Sarah.”

He tried to smirk quite unsure of himself, “Yes, Sarah. How can I help you?”

I pointed towards the ad, displayed in the upper right corner of the glass door, “I wanted to ask you about this job. Is it still open?”

He must have thought he misheard me, “Excuse me?” His brows knitted into several creases.

“That ad. Why?” I laughed again letting him see my dimpled smile, “I can’t do this job, mister?”

“No. It’s not that.” He again tried to focus on my assets, “It’s just that…. You are too refined and groomed for this job, miss. By the way, we have already appointed someone. You are late. Apologies but we forgot to remove it.”

After giving a final once over, he started walking towards a mini-van to place the container.

“You have hired someone? Is that the girl?” I asked him stepping backwards trying to keep up with him. He turned his head towards the shop and nodded at me.

“Yes. Ashley. The girl we hired just a month back.” I nodded. I hoped they knew her secret.

“You are not here for the job. Right?” He asked me. I was wrong to take him as a fool. People who belonged to his class and status were usually cunning. Ashley also had the same traits.

I needed to blow her cover in front of Justin.

“Sam. Come back! We need help!” A female voice screamed at the top of her lungs. So the guy’s name was Sam.”

Without answering the guy, I started walking back home. So, she was doing a night job, screwing around and tarnishing Deluca’s name.

Justin should know about it. I was not going to spare her just so easily.

No, Pashley. You are not off the hook. I will make sure of it. From now on this is

mission.

I started walking back to the house which was not a problem for me. I had been an avid member of the gym. Justin introduced me to it because I wanted to keep myself fit.

“Are you awake?” I typed a message to Sean. Within a minute I received his call.

“Hey, Sean.”

“Of course, I am awake. Why would I sleep when I do nothing except watch TV and eat junk.” Oh, God. He was still angry at me.
