Flashback to when Marissa had just finished the meeting with Matthew
__________________________________
Who does he think he is? Ordering me to give him Clarissa's number?
To think he called me an 'ordinary' assistant ? Such a rude ass! Marissa muttered walking down the road leading to the bus station
Just then the heel of her sandal gave way and she feel to the ground
Omg, not now, She moaned silently, trying to fix the shoe back
Can I help with that?
Marissa looked up to see a dark handsome man staring down at her and she blinked and muttered, yes please 🥺
The man picked up her sandal and with a quick hard grip attached the heel back to its place
Here, all done and set to wear, he said bending down to help Marissa wear the shoe
You don't have to help me wear it, I can do that, Marissa said shyly looking around
I insist milady, the man said gently
Thanks alot, I really appreciate,
This is what I do for a living milady, you don't need to thank me, The man said smirking
What? Marissa asked confused ' you help people?
Nah, I don't help 'people', I only help damsels in distress
Marissa smiled.
My name is Lucas, the man said extending his hand
What about yours?
Marissa, my name is Marissa, Marissa answered and shoke his hand.
Such a beautiful name for a beautiful damsel
Thanks alot, I really need to start going right now,
Thanks again for your help,
Byee pretty,

Wait, just like that? He didn't ask for your number and you didn't ask for his? Lauren asked sounding disappointed ☹️
Well, he just helped me, maybe he wasn't interested in getting to know me further
He definitely looked like a hot cake, so there's no way I will be his type
Ohhh, hot cake , Lauren said laughing slyly
Just shut it, Marissa said
But I can't believe the Rodrigo man called you an ordinary assistant, I'm sure he must be at the hospital right now
Why? Marissa asked confused
You didn't gauge out his eyes? Lauren asked shocked
Seriously, stop being dramatic Lauren, Marissa said, I need to get back to work darling, Mrs De la Cruz is here
Send the bitch my greetings, Lauren said
LAUREN! Thats the leader of the pack you're talking to like that,
I know, byee .
