Chapter 10

—"what the.....fuck", A sarcastic voice was heard, laylah kicked in Jade's stomach, which made him fell on the floor, You know that moment when you're so lost in your own little love bubble that reality snaps you back with a jolt? An awkward silence so thick you could cut it with a knife. It was like the universe was telling them to come back down to earth and acknowledge the world outside of their romantic cocoon. But hey, we've all been there, right? It's all part of the human experience - getting lost in love and then abruptly realizing that life goes on around us too. So, here's to those moments of realization and the inevitable awkward silences that follow. Cheers!

"Oh— y-your're here—welcome—come in!!", said jade while sitting on the floor near the couch, trying to stand up and act like nothing happened, "laylah!!", that feminist voice! That boldness of Lucy Daigo made laylah flinched and she quietly went towards her, "you know...he is a brat-", Lucy couldn't help but smirk as she anticipated Laylah's inevitable string of ridiculous excuses. It was almost comical how predictable Laylah's behavior had become, always finding a way to avoid taking responsibility for her actions. Lucy had seen it all before, and she wasn't about to let Laylah off the hook so easily this time. As she thought about what Laylah might say next, Lucy shook her head in amusement. "I know," Lucy said with a chuckle, knowing that Laylah's attempts at evasion were about as convincing as a child trying to blame their imaginary friend for breaking a vase. Despite the frustration of dealing with someone like Laylah, Lucy couldn't help but find some humor in the situation.

"And...I ain't disturbing your romance era", Laylah playfully kicked Lucy's feet, giving her a not-so-subtle signal to stop with the teasing. It was all in good fun, of course, but Laylah had reached her limit and needed Lucy to ease up a bit. They always enjoyed bantering back and forth, but sometimes it could go too far. As Laylah kicked her friend's feet, she couldn't help but giggle at the ridiculousness of the situation. Lucy caught on quickly and with a big grin, she raised her hands in surrender, promising to tone it down. The two friends shared a laugh before continuing on with their day, knowing that their playful dynamic would always keep things interesting between them.

"Anyways, you stay here.... I'll take jade with me...car is waiting outside, I have to deliver these to him", Laylah nodded and Lucy went in the kitchen and grabbed Jade's ear and dragged him out,

"Ouch ouch! ouch!! The ladies in this house are so bold and strong!!! Gosh!! God please send help!!!", Lucy, fed up with his procrastination and lack of initiative, took matters into her own hands and dragged him out of the house without a second thought. She was bold and assertive, not willing to tolerate any more excuses or delays. Lucy sat on the driver seat of their truck and Jade was handling the packages behind, The luxurious truck in question boasts both an impressive exterior and interior design,

So there they were, cruising down the highway with Jade clicking away on his laptop in the passenger seat and Lucy steering the big ol' truck like a pro. While Lucy expertly maneuvered through traffic, Jade was deep in concentration, balancing spreadsheets and replying to emails like it was as natural as breathing. It was kinda funny to see them both in their element - Jade with his serious face and fingers flying across the keyboard, and Lucy with her calm demeanor and steady hands on the wheel. These two made quite the team, handling business on the road without missing a beat. As the sun began to dip below the horizon and the shadows grew longer, Lucy's keen intuition kicked in. She sensed that something was amiss as she glanced in her side mirror and noticed a dark sedan tailing their truck. With razor-sharp focus, Lucy assessed the situation, realizing that they were being followed with sinister intent.

Lucy gave a glance to Jade and he looked at her suspiciously, "w-what? Don't look at me like that, you scare the shi-", she cuts off Jade's words and says, "someone is following us", Jade opens the window and peeks outside and dials a number to call, the opposite person answers the call,

"Someone is following us", said Jade

"Check the car number and find out who it is", said the other person, "A- he didn't even let me finish....okay great!!", Jade peeked out the window again with that mischievous look on his face. He's got this uncanny ability to memorize car numbers in just seconds, it's almost like a superpower. Armed with his great research skills and an eye for detail, he can uncover information about pretty much anyone or anything. I have no doubt that he'll figure out who that car belongs to in no time. It's quite impressive how effortlessly he can piece together clues and find answers just by observing his surroundings. Who knew being nosy could actually be a valuable skill? I guess when you combine curiosity with intelligence, you get someone like Jade – always ready to dig up some dirt and solve a mystery.

"Lucy.....I think it's.... them", Said Jade while slowly looking into Lucy's eyes and she was fired up, she called the same person through her bluetooth,

"It's...Jeff!", said Lucy,

"Don't worry....just throw some eggs and change the route.... I'll handle the rest of it",

Lucy agrees to his words and presses the yellow button,

This amazing function of the truck opens a giant looking gun from behind and it starts firing tons of egg on their enemy's car due to which they could not see the road clearly despite clearing the mirror again and again and Lucy changes the route in no second, and Jeff's man's car gets crashed

A perfect proud smirk forms on Lucy and Jade's face as they successfully changed their route
