Chapter 33: Encounter at the Movie Theater
Lucasta’s week of probation ended quickly and she felt very satisfied with this new life.
She can earn money through her own labor and efforts, and importantly, every step she takes is encouraged by Samson.
She really looks forward to the day she gets paid so she can buy her brother some clothes as well as buy fresh food to cook for him.
Autumn afternoons are always more poetic than afternoons in the other three seasons.
Because she wanted to be independent like other adult girls, she went to work by bus instead of sharing a car with Harvey.
She didn’t want other employees to be afraid of her just because every day she was personally picked up by the president of Star Corporation. They even bowed their heads when talking to her.
Today, because it was the weekend, Lucasta came home quite late because she and Bonita had to rearrange documents.
The last bus of the day dropped her off at the bus stop when it was dusk, with no rays of sunlight left, only high-voltage lights illuminating the paved road.
The moment her feet touched the road, the familiar figure of her brother appeared, making her extremely happy.
She still can’t stop missing him when they have to be apart for eight or nine hours a day.
– Hey, why are you standing here? Lucasta ran towards Samson and shouted loudly.
– I’m waiting for you. You came home so late and I couldn’t call you. Harvey said you and Bonita will be home a little late.
– It must have been powered down. I was playing a game last night and forgot to charge the battery. You miss me, right? She blinked, looked at him, and asked.
– Yes, I miss you. Lucasta, playing games too much is not good for your eyes and brain. You should read books instead of playing games.
Samson did not hide the simple feelings he had for her. There were only three weeks left, so he didn’t want to let himself regret anything except the love a man had for a girl that he couldn’t say.
– Yes, I will obey you. I won’t download games to my phone anymore.
Lucasta smiled and then clung to Samson’s arm so he could help her walk.
Her words reminded him of a few months ago. When he fainted in the basement, she was scared and ran to ask for help from Maris and then promised that she would obey him.
The bus stop was about a ten-minute walk from their house, which was enough time for Lucasta to tell Samson about her day at the company.
Her job still hasn’t changed, just distributing documents to departments, but this morning, Jemaine asked Harvey to let her go with him to a quick meeting with the AWA company.
– I heard Harvey say that Jemaine can do it all by himself. Why did he take you with him? Samson reached out to pick up the yellow leaf that had fallen from her hair and asked.
– Because yesterday afternoon, while I was out to eat with Miss Bonita, I saved a child who was almost hit by a falling sign. That child was the child of the director of AWA company, so Jemaine wanted me to go with him to make work go more smoothly. When I saved the baby, he also accidentally saw it. She honestly told him.
– Jemaine also knows how to take advantage of opportunities, right? But… why didn’t you tell me about the baby yesterday? Samson stopped walking and turned to look at her.
– I’m afraid you’ll worry.
The light from the high-pressure lamp made Lucasta’s sky-blue eyes sparkle even more in the half-light, half-dark space.
Samson also did not know when his heart got lost in her eyes.
His love for her made his heart half happy and half painful.
– Lucasta, remember what I told you, helping people is a good thing, but be careful, never put yourself in a dangerous place. – He grabbed her shoulders and instructed her.
– Yes, I also looked around. I know if I get hurt, you will worry.
Lucasta leaned against Samson and wrapped her arms around him tightly. In fact, yesterday, she almost got hit in the head by that sign.
At that moment, the first person she thought of was him. She was afraid that if she bled, he would scold her. If she lost her life, she would no longer be with him.
She has been with him for ten years but she still feels it is not enough and wants to be with him for the rest of her life.
She was also afraid of pain and blood, but when she saw the little girl standing alone while an accident was happening, she forgot all her fear and just followed what her heart told her.
– Samson, if I were in danger, would you risk everything to save me? She let him go and looked at him with wide eyes, asking softly.
– Of course. Is this something you still have to ask?
Samson gently pinched the tip of Lucasta’s nose, then held her hand and continued walking.
The admiring eyes of passersby continuously focused on the picturesque couple.
Since the day Lucasta brought home colorful contact lenses, Samson has felt more comfortable every time he goes out to buy things in the afternoon or early morning.
Everyone considered him a normal person without showing any surprise. If they stared at him, it was only because his appearance was so perfect, it stood out from the crowd.
As soon as Lucasta got home, she ran into her room and charged her phone.
When the phone screen turned on and the operating system finished booting, she fulfilled her promise to Samson and deleted all the game applications.
At the same time, she received a text message from Calantha and suddenly remembered that tonight was the time when the movie The Haunted premiered.
It was a movie about vampires that Calantha had bought tickets for in advance and invited her to watch together.
The movie would be shown at eight o’clock at night, so Lucasta frantically ran to the bathroom and showered as quickly as possible.
When she returned, Samson had just set up the dining table, neat and eye-catching as usual.
– Samson, please go to the movies with me and Calantha tonight. Lucasta spoke up as soon as he sat at the table.
– But Calantha only has one ticket left over for you. Now I’m afraid they’ve sold out all the tickets. Samson handed the plate of meat he had just finished cutting to her and said.
– She just texted me, she said her boyfriend couldn’t go so she asked me to invite Harvey but I’d rather go with you.
Lucasta’s words came from the bottom of his heart, making Samson’s heart skip a beat.
Although he also felt sorry for Harvey, he felt more happy for himself. After all, it was only during this time that he could move around freely without being scolded by Harvey.
Harvey thought about Samson’s whole life, so he was willing to sympathize for a month.
Furthermore, Samson also wants to know how people perceive vampires through the lens of cinema.
The movie titled The Haunted is the first movie to explore this topic, so he knows it receives a lot of attention from the audience. And its heat has been proven when cinemas sold out tickets for screenings a week ago.
– Okay, I’ll go with you. Samson smiled and ladled soup into a bowl for her.
The smile on Lucasta’s lips couldn’t have been brighter when she heard him agree.
She really wanted to show her brother off to Calantha because Calantha had asserted that her boyfriend was the most beautiful man on the planet.
In Lucasta’s eyes, Samson is the most handsome man in the world, the most talented man in the world and he is her pride.
However, she just wanted to keep him for herself. She is afraid that he will get married and share his feelings with another girl.
She can only accept it if the person he marries is Maris because she knows Maris also loves her very much.
If Lucasta didn’t know that Calantha had a boyfriend, she wouldn’t have dared to take her brother to the cinema.
Samson is so perfect and certainly no girl can resist his regal charm.
– Eat slowly, otherwise, you’ll choke. Samson was worried when he saw Lucasta constantly putting food in her mouth.
– The movie starts at eight o’clock in the evening. We have to hurry up. She chewed and urged the person opposite her.
Lucasta’s adorable and funny appearance made Samson think she was still the same nine-year-old girl. Her cheeks were puffed up like two balloons and her eyes were focused on the dishes on the table.
The two left home when the clock showed seven thirty at night. While Lucasta was nervous and afraid of being late, Samson was still very calm.
He estimated the distance so he knew it would only take about twenty minutes to reach the meeting point.
– It’s here, it’s here. Calantha is standing in front of the cinema gate. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever met up to this point.
Samson looked in the direction of Lucasta’s hand and he quickly recognized his sister’s new friend.
Calantha truly stands out from the crowd with her model-like straight legs, trendy clothes, and face with golden proportions and perfect symmetry.
However, for him, the chubby girl next to him is the most adorable and beautiful person.
– Hello Lucasta. Who is the man walking next to you?
Calantha proactively approached Samson and Lucasta because she was really attracted to the appearance of the guy next to Lucasta.
She is a human being and she is always attracted to beauty, whether it is people, puppies or flowers, houses, and cars.
– Hello Calantha. Let me introduce to you, this is my brother, his name is Samson. Lucasta excitedly spoke up.
– Hello Miss Calantha. I heard Lucasta talk about you. Thank you for helping and making friends with her.
Samson’s deep and warm voice made Calantha suddenly think that Samson was a character coming out of a novel.
His appearance, his voice, and the way he walked all exuded the perfect elegance of a nobleman who lived several hundred years ago.
Fortunately, his ruby-colored eyes, which are popular among today’s youth, helped her wake up and realize that he was like many other young men and liked to follow fashion trends.
– You don’t need to thank me. Actually, I feel very lucky to be friends with Lucasta. Compared to girls who only know how to take advantage of me, Lucasta is a perfect friend. She is as innocent as a child. I really want to put her in a glass case to display.
Calantha did not hesitate to express her admiration for the girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
She was like everyone else and saw Lucasta as an expensive doll that could walk, talk, eat, and cry.
– It’s almost time, there are five minutes left. Lucasta hurriedly spoke up when she saw the phone screen displaying five minutes to eight.
– Let’s go in. We have to buy popcorn. Calantha grabbed Lucasta’s hand and pulled her away.
– What is popcorn? Is it made from cornstarch?Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
– No. It is made from corn kernels. They won’t grind it.
