Chapter 5

When she saw the driver open the car door for her to get into the car, Averill looked at Jenny, who was still waiting not far from the parking lot. Averill asked the driver to invite Jenny to ride with her. It's a pity to have to wait for a taxi for a long time now that it's almost late at night. The driver drove up and stopped right in front of Jenny and asked her to get into the car. Jenny looked embarrassed and shy because she often received help from Ms. Alpha since she worked at Alpha Company. As soon as he sat next to Ms. Alpha, Ms. Alpha said in a cold tone without looking at her.

"This has been counted as a long night. It is not good to wait for a long time. Sometimes taxi drivers can't be trusted either. Now there are many cases involving kidnapping and murder."

"I know Ms. Alpha, but I don't have enough money to buy a car yet."

"Uncle Zhan, do you know where the place are selling the most high quality care? Tomorrow, accompany me and Miss Jenny to buy a new car for her."

Upon hearing the boss, Uncle Zhan's, instructions, he continued to answer respectfully. Jenny, who listened, was shocked when she heard Ms. Alpha's words.

"No need, I can buy the car if I have enough money, Ms. Alpha."

"Didn't you just say that you don't have enough money? So why now refuse my help?"

"I feel embarrassed to accept Ms. Alpha's help."

"Huh? Shy? It's just a car, nothing more. This is for your use as well. If bad things happen, I will definitely be blamed for not taking care of the welfare of the workers. "

"There are many people today who are good on the face but have evil hearts. Remember that Ms. Jenny? "

Right after those words were spoken, they reached their destination. Jenny thanked Ms. Alpha and tried to invite her to her apartment, but was politely rejected by Ms. Alpha.

"You can go to your apartment now while the driver and I are still here to make sure you get there safely."

Jenny gave Ms. Alpha a very sweet smile while looking at her face a few moments ago, asking for help.

In another place,

You can hear the small voice of a baby crying when the room is dark. The situation in the room was difficult to see because it was dark. When she heard the sound of the baby crying, she saw a figure that got up from the bed close to the baby cot and slowly pushed the little figure that was sleeping next to her so that she wouldn't wake up from her deep sleep to make room for herself to get up to nurse the baby. The figure continued to lift and hug the crying baby, but the baby was still crying, and after being fed, it finally stopped crying. Her little fingers tightly held her mother's shirt at the chest, as if to say that her food would not run away.

The woman who nursed the baby smiled gently, but her tears slowly flowed down her cheeks and fell on the baby's face. She looked very tearful every time she saw the baby's face. The baby, who was content to breastfeed, felt a warm drop on her cheek and looked towards her mother, who was crying. The baby may know that the mother is sad and try to comfort her.

"Yaya…"

The woman laughed at her cute behavior.

The sound of the electric door opening slowly "hiss hiss hiss" indicates that someone wants to enter.

The woman hugged the baby tightly in her arms, and also the small figure that had been sleeping soundly woke up. Without thinking, she hugged the woman tightly as if she didn't want to let go and started to cry.

...

Averill said last night that she once again woke up to be greeted by an endless nightmare chasing her. All this time, she just hid all of this because it felt like it was part of her life. She sighed and sat up, leaning against the hardboard of her bed. She closed her eyes and breathed in and out slowly. Then her thoughts began to calm down. The muscles also began to stretch. She turned towards the night stand to see the clock on her mobile phone. The clock shows 2 am, still 5 hours before 7 am. Tomorrow is the weekend, so there is no need to go to work. She promised to go to the car dealership tomorrow to buy a car for Jenny. When she remembered the name, there was something this feeling knew existed in Averill's heart because it was as if 9 out of 10 points had similarities with someone she knew, but Averill didn't want to draw conclusions without solid evidence. She wants to wait for a return from the private investigator he sent to investigate the case that befell his family.

Feeling thirsty, Averill went to the kitchen and poured water into a glass. The cold water she drank was able to calm his troubled mind. The maid and butler who worked in the house were still sleeping, and she was the only one standing alone in the spacious kitchen.

Averill went back to the bedroom and tried to close her eyes, but still didn't feel sleepy. After tossing around for a while, she finally slept.

That morning, Averill and the driver invited Jenny to go to a shop that sold cars. The place is not far from her company. There are many cars for sale with different types and styles. Do you want something expensive, simple, and inexpensive? They are still available. The salesman describes each vehicle that interests the customer. Averill chooses a suitable vehicle for Jenny but gives her room to choose the car she likes. After all, the vehicle is used by her, and it is very good if she chooses it herself. Owning a car you like can create a sense of satisfaction in a person. Averill started a conversation with Jenny. Today, Jenny looks very tired and has eye bags under her eyelids.

Jenny's thoughts at that moment wandered far away, and without her realizing it, Averill, who was standing next to her, started a conversation with her.

"Is there a car you like?"

"Jenny, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I didn't sleep well last night because I helped a friend who needed my help. Earlier, Ms. Alpha asked me a question. Can you repeat it again? I wasn't focused earlier."

"It's okay, and I hope your friend is doing well. Can I ask if there is a car you are interested in or like? You can choose later."

"Then you don't have to wait for a taxi every time you come home from the office."

"Ms. Averill doesn't mind what kind of car I choose?"

"Nope."

"I don't want a car that is too expensive because of my current situation as your personal assistance. "What will the other workers say later? "

"Don't think about people's words, but think about your needs. I'm just helping you, that's all. "

"Ms. Averill must treat all workers like this, right?"

Averill just smiled but did not say agreement or rejection to the question asked by Jenny.

"Any cars that catch your eye?"

The salesman starts talking again to find out what features of the car the customer wants.

"Miss, what kind of car do you want?"

"I want a vehicle that is safe for me, my children, and the elderly and also looks good."

Averill, who heard Jenny's desired criteria, frowned. Aren't all cars safe to use? Jenny's attitude was really strange.

"There are several cars that match the criteria Miss wants me to explain. Among them, the Audi A6 and A6 Allroad, Genesis G70, Honda Accord, Lexus ES, and Mercedes-Benz E-class Sedan. "

The salesman listed the cars according to the wishes that Jenny had listed earlier.

"I want a black Genesis G70 car."

Jenny expressed her wish and turned to Averill, whose eyes were glinting towards the beautifully parked car in front of her. Even so, Averill was still listening to the conversation between Jenny and the salesman.

"Please show the car and the interior to both of us."

They were taken by the salesman to the Genesis G70 car showroom.

There is a black Genesis G70 car that looks magnificent when driven later. The salesman explained it to them both confidently.

"This is the safest car among other cars because the G70 received good or superior ratings on all crash tests and headlight measurements. We have noted the rear-seat space is tight in the G70, but its balanced chassis and driving feel at the base price of $37,000 is an unbeatable deal. It also comes with more standard driver-assist technology than many cars out there. The G70 avoided all IIHS vehicle to vehicle front crashes as well as 12 and 25 mph vehicle to pedestrian tests. The G70 dropped to just force is the strong one. "

The salesman explained the uniqueness of the car at great length to Averill and Jenny. They nodded when they heard the salesman's explanation.

"Now we can see the interior design of this car."

The salesman carefully opened the car door for all four doors and then explained more about the internal functions available.

"This car has a heated steering wheel, adaptive headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, ventilated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, and wireless smartphone charging. It has been made with the twin-turbo V-6 engine."

"This car is very suitable for you to use because of its very advanced technology and makes it easier for you to move around if you want to go out to work or sightseeing. Not only is it safe to use, but the price is also reasonable. It's hard to get a car as cheap as this, miss."

Looking into the design of the car is also interesting, let alone using it to go to work. The size is not too big like the cars outside, and it is easy to park in case of an emergency. The colour and design of this car are also very unique.

Jenny decided to buy this car after being satisfied with the description of the salesman promoting it. The price is not too expensive compared to other cars. If sent for car service, the cost is also not too expensive. She didn't want to rely too much on Averill for assistance, and her monthly salary was reasonable. Jenny eventually purchased the car, and Averill paid for it privately. They go out all day to find a suitable and quality car.

I had just left the car shop, and the clock showed 12 o'clock, suitable for lunch. Averill invites Jenny to have lunch with her, and Jenny does not refuse her invitation. They chose a table close to the wall. The wall is transparent, but the customers who eat inside the restaurant cannot be seen from the outside, but the public passing by can be seen clearly.

After sitting down, the waitress brought the menu to the two of them and waited patiently next to their table for them to choose the food they liked. Jenny looked at the menu and was surprised to see the price of each dish written on the menu. Like being able to read his mind.

"You choose the food you like."

"But it's very expensive."

"It's not expensive, but the food here is delicious, you know."

"Ms. Alpha, do you always eat at this restaurant?"

"Always. But that was before. This is the first time in a long time that I have eaten at this restaurant. Quickly choose the food you like. I'm hungry. "

Upon hearing Averill say that she was hungry, Jenny continued to choose the food she liked and told the waitress, who was standing patiently, the menu of the food she had chosen. Averill already memorized the menus served by this restaurant, so she did not flip through the menu book and just told the waitress the menu she wanted. The waitress notes the menu that the customer informs her of and continues to leave the table.

It can be observed that this restaurant is the choice of many people, and almost all the available tables are filled with customers. Some bring their families only once, while others come to eat with friends. Weekends are for spending time with family. You can also hear music reverberating at a volume that is not too loud or too small. This place feels romantic. Seeing Jenny as if it was her first time eating at this place, Averill asked her in a soft tone. She didn't know why she behaved like this when faced with Jenny. It was like the first time she met Eliza.

"Never eaten at this restaurant?"

"No. This is my first time eating at a place like this, Ms. Alpha. "

"I have one request that I want you to fulfill."

"A request? What a request! "Ms. Alpha, don't ask for things that aren't reasonable."

Hearing Jenny's words, Averill smiled gently, revealing her white and beautifully arranged teeth. Her beauty is like angle fall from the sky. Today she wears fit jeans, a white t-shirt, and Martin shoes. Her style is not like that of people with money and status.

"Don't always call me Ms. Alpha. It's too formal. You can just call my name. This is not an office. "

"Oh! I shouldn't call you that because you are the chairman and also my boss. "

"No need."

Almost 3 minutes of waiting for the food ordered to finally arrive. Averill ordered marinated pork ribs and dumpling soup. Jenny also ordered the same type of food. Averill was surprised to see that the food ordered by both of them was the same. Upon recalling her memories with Eliza when they first met, they only realised the type of food ordered was the same after the food arrived. When remembering that moment, Averill just bowed her head.

"I miss you and Aurora," she whispered in her heart while holding back the tears that were welling up in her eyes. This place was their first date and has become their favorite restaurant since then. Her heart is not formed from stone. It is very deceiving if her does not remember her children and her wife, not to mention that her child in the womb did not have time to be born and see the world.
