PSAFM 1 [Offer]

Hello everyone.

Happy reading!

___________

"I do not want to." Said Anna firmly.

"I'm begging you just this one time, Anna." Said Laura begging.

Anna only took a deep breath without wanting to reply to her friend's words again. She was already feeling very tired from all her daily routine and her jobs. It feels like she doesn't have the slightest time to rest and enjoy her life comfortably and quietly.

"Then I'll give you a ticket for a limited edition photo exhibition by Mr. X!" Laura said quickly.

Anna stopped the movement of her hand which was compiling the sheets of her novel paper that she had just printed using the printer. The attractive offer almost made her heart feel shaky, but when she saw Laura's face, which was looking worried and scared. Anna realized again that dealing with Laura would cause new problems to her life.

"Your offer is very tempting but sorry I'm still very sane to get involved with all your problems." Said Anna as she put the pile of paper she was holding on the table.

"Oh, come on Anna .. Only this time after that I will not ask you strange requests again." Said Laura pleadingly.

"Did you know that all your requests lead to problems?" Asked Anna with a tired tone.

"I know .. But this time it won't cause any trouble. I promise you." Laura replied confidently.

Anna just laughed softly while shaking her head. She was tired of hearing Laura's promise that she could never keep and somehow they are still friends today. Actually Laura is a very nice and lovely girl. She also comes from a wealthy and respected family. She is also beautiful and smart. If you look at it as a whole, the woman named Laura is almost close to the word perfect, but one thing that makes all her strengths go to waste. Her demeanor is very childish and she also likes to make trouble. Anna did not understand why Laura could be like that.

But according to the analysis she has been doing for the past five years. Laura became like that because of pressure from her parents. Yes, all of you must know the demands of all the children of rich people in this world. Be perfect so that you don't spoil and embarrass your family name. Right?

"Laura." Said Anna with a smile.

The woman named Laura looked sadly at Anna. She already knew that Anna would definitely refuse this one of her requests but for whatever reason she desperately needed help right now. Sorry if she is selfish but this concerns the continuation of her precious life. Go to hell with it all. For whatever sake she really didn't want to do this one.

"I'm sorry, Anna. I'm such a bad friend." Said Laura with a sad face.

"No. You are not a bad friend, Laura. I understand your situation and unfortunately I cannot help with this matter." Said Anna guiltily.

"Your family will be angry if they find out that you weren't the one who came to the meeting." Said Anna again.

"I know that but for whatever reason I can't come there. I would go crazy if I have to do all that!" Said Laura frustratedly.

Anna just shook her head while returning to continue her work. The editor had been calling her a long time ago because the deadline for writing this novel was up. You are right, Anna is a book writer who is quite famous. All of her works have become the best-selling novels every time they are released. Even though she is not as famous as the books she made, at least other people feel happy with her presence in this world. She has no parents or family she wants to be proud of. She is just an orphan who is always struggling to move on.

Ah yes, she has a younger brother but they live apart. Her younger brother is now in England to study and Anna is also covering the school fees for her brother. Even though it was heavy, she never complained at all. Being able to live in this world alone made her feel very grateful.

"How's Sean?" Laura asked suddenly.

"He is nice." Anna answered, smiling faintly.

"Is he here next summer vacation?" Laura asked as she unwrapped the snacks that had been in her hands since sometime.

"I don't know. He didn't say anything to me." Anna answered, raising her eyebrows upward.

"Don't you miss him?" Laura asked, chewing the potato chips that were in her mouth.

"Of course I miss him. I haven't seen him in two years." Anna replied with a sad look.

"Too bad if he doesn't come this year either." Said Laura with concern.

"Why is that?" Asked Anna suspiciously.

"Yes .. It's a shame if you rarely spend time together. If one day he or you get married then it will be even more difficult for you guys to meet." Laura replied carefully n serious.

"It's still a very long time. He's still in college and I have absolutely no plans to get married in ten years. At least until Sean finishes college." Said Anna after laughing out loud.

"We never know God's plan, Anna." Said Laura, rolling her eyes.

"Indeed no one knows God's destiny but all decisions are in the hands of us humans." Said Anna with a smile.

Laura looked at Anna as she put some potato chips into her mouth. Her slightly insane brain was thinking about some crazy plan that she had never thought of in her life. She wanted to do something that would make her friend thank her later.

"How about I buy your brother a round-trip plane ticket for this summer?" Laura asked, smiling broadly.

"No need." Anna answered firmly.

"Think of it as a reward if you do what I asked you to do." Laura said seriously.

Anna stopped her job which was actually almost done if Laura didn't say something that was on her mind. Honestly, it is the most tantalizing offering right now. She doesn't have extra money for her brother's plane fare that's right. During these two years, all the money she had was only enough to support herself, her younger brother and the school fees for his younger sibling. No matter how hard she worked, in fact she still could not afford to pay for her brother's trip from England to America. Maybe this is what is called the rigors of life.

You can't have everything you want if it's not meant for you. No matter how hard you work hard, if from the start it is impossible for you to achieve, it will always be impossible. It's a different story if that person is lucky and has good luck. The impossible can become real for any of them.

"How about that? Good deal, right?" Laura asked who was happy because Anna was getting influenced.

"But still I can't do this." Anna answered doubtfully

"What can't you do? You're perfect. A pretty independent woman. Don't look down on yourself. You're special." Laura said honestly.

"I can't look at your parents if they find out I'm replacing you at that meeting." Said Anna worriedly.

"You don't have to be afraid! Take it easy and I'll take care of all of it. All you have to do is come and make that guy feel mad at you." Laura said seriously.

"But how if that man recognized me?" Asked Anna, frowning.

"Take it easy. You don't need to be afraid. I will make you became a different person. Anyway, just follow my direction properly and our mission will be safe until the end." Laura replied excitedly.

"But wait a minute." Said Anna suddenly.

"What else?" Laura asked in surprise.

"When did your parents arrange the meeting?" Asked Anna while looking at Laura seriously.

"This afternoon." Laura replied innocently.

"HAH! Are you crazy?!" Said Anna in surprise.

"You know my middle name is crazy, right?" Said Laura with a satisfied laugh.
