Luci was helping Tedy fix one of his work tools. She was wearing a disguise today which was a mask that Tedy gave as a birthday present for her
"Uh, hot," whispered Luci.
The mask had a male face with several beards and mustaches on it. The mask was equipped with hair. So she didn't need to wear a wig.
"Are you sure Sis Amy won't be coming home anytime soon?" asked Luci as she turned the screwdriver to remove the bolt on one of Tedy's tools.
At that time, Luci and Tedy were in Tedy's shop. Today the weather was quite sunny and warm. Therefore, Amy chose to go to the beach with her friend who had just returned from abroad. Because Tedy had to look after his shop, therefore he couldn't come to accompany his wife.
"Yeah, don't worry! She will come home in the afternoon or even late at night." He said while helping Luci to remove the existing bolts.
They would repair the heating machine of the material normally used to make masks. It broke down after that
"Hah, I give up!" Luci plopped down on the old sofa that was not soft not far from her. She also gently slammed the screwdriver in her hand after failing to remove the bolt on the machine.
"Why don't you just use an electric drill?" Luci protested while wiping the sweat off her body. She then went to the mini freezer at the end of the storeroom. Then she took cold water and drank it until only half a bottle was left.
"The drill is broken," said Tedy, who had managed to remove the second bolt.
"You can buy it, Ted. You just…." Luci stopped her words.
At first, she wanted to tell Tedy to buy a new drill because he had just received a hundred million from her, from selling masks and other imitation items that he had been done. But after remembering that he might suddenly be disappointed in her, she gave up on discussing the hundred million.
"What did I just do?" Tedy asked without looking at Luci. He was still struggling with his work. His glasses had even fallen from his nose.
"It's okay, forget it. I want to rest first," said Luci. She walked to the old and not soft sofa again. Then she sat and leaned there while closing her eyes.
"How was your previous job? So who hired your services this time?" asked Teddy. All bolts had been removed. Now he opened the cover on the machine. And how tired his face was after seeing a lot of dust lodged in the machine.
"Mister Hudan hired me." Luci stretched her body and felt the fresh breeze from the fan that was directly above her. At that time, she wore a long plaid hem which was a bit oversized, to hide her curves.
"Mister Hudan? You mean Mr. William Hudan?" asked Tedy, giggling a little.
"Hah? You think I'm an angel of death that I can make the dead life and hire my services?" squeaked Luci.
William Hudan was Evan's father. He had died about ten years ago of chronic heart disease.
"Who knows. Hahaha," Tedy laughed. He began to clean the dust lodged in his machine.
"I know you don't believe it, right if Mr. Evan hired my services?" Luci opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling.
"Yeah, who would believe it? Doesn't he like girls?" What Tedy meant was that Evan liked men.
"I have my doubts about the news that says Mr. Evan is gay," said Luci.
In her memory flashed back to Evan's lips touching hers. If she remembered about that she wanted to get angry and punch the CEO. But what could she do? Even now she was in the CEO's trap.
"Why do you think so? Everyone was even talking about Mr. Evan's sexual orientation. And people believe he's a fellow man." Tedy coughed after saying that because the dust on the machine flew and got in his throat.
"Hahaha, that's a sign you need to stop being so pretentious, man." Luci burst out laughing after seeing Tedy couldn't stop coughing. Until he had to step back to get cold drinking water that was in the mini freezer in the room.
"Why are you so sure? Has he kissed you before? Huh?" asked Tedy punctuated by loud laughter.
But instead of laughing along, Luci swallowed fear and wariness. But luckily because she was wearing a mask, her overall expression was nowhere to be seen.
"It's – it's not like that. The problem – the problem is that he hired me to thwart his matchmaking," Luci stuttered. But she just realized something.
'Oh, why do I have to say that anyway? The failure of this matchmaking can make Tedy even more convinced that Mr. Evan is gay,' Luci thought. Even though what she said was just a guess. Until now she did not know why Evan hired her services.
"Well, that only strengthens people's arguments, right? Why did he have to thwart arranged marriages if he still likes girls? Never mind that again! So how far is your agreement?" asked Teddy.
He began to return to his work to clean the dust in the heating machine for the mask. But this time he wore a mask to avoid the dust entering.
"There has been no progress. It's been three days since we signed the deal, but they still haven't contacted me," Luci complained sadly. Secretly she was afraid of something. But she wasn't sure what she was afraid of right now.
"What? Wouldn't the clients discuss everything directly after signing the contract? If you don't do it as soon as possible, it will be difficult for me to prepare all your equipment later." Tedy frowned seriously.
In every mission that Luci carried out, usually Tedy would make masks and disguise equipment for her. The physical characteristics of the mask must of course be following what the client wanted.
"I do not know either. His assistant told me not to ask anymore. I just need to wait until they contact me," Luci languished while massaging her temples. But unfortunately, the massage couldn't be felt too much because she was wearing a mask that blocks her skin at the moment.
"Lu, it's not that I want to lower your spirits. But I suggest you just cancel the agreement with Mr. Evan. Do you know how cruel he is? You could get into trouble later." Tedy looked at Luci meaningfully. Even he stopped cleaning the dust for a while. His eyes hidden behind the frames of the glasses didn't even blink.
"Huff, I've already proceeded to sign it. They even gave me a down payment." Luci covered her face with her hands.
"Well, this is the first time your client has given an advance. How much is the down payment?" Tedy asked casually. He returned to his work.
"Two hundred million rupiahs," answered Luci.
"WHAT? TWO HUNDRED MILLION?" Tedy shouted in disbelief. He froze for a while. His brain couldn't think straight at the moment.
"Down payment? Two hundred million? Do you want to sell your services or sell your body?" continued Tedy without any meaning.
But Tedy's question just now had a terrible meaning for her. Now she couldn't help thinking that Evan was trying to buy her body.
