After happily waving goodbyes at Karol, Jake hop inside his brother's truck in which he happily greeted his brother; "Hi bro, how's your day?"
"As usual, boring and less payment"
Jake couldn't help but sigh; "I wish for our luck to be better in the future," while looking outside.
"Me too Jakie, me too," said Brian as he speeds up his second-hand old truck.
"Oh yea brother, at lunchtime I meet this beautiful, sweet and the kindest lady on this planet,"
"Really? Tell me more than"
"Okay remember today we both didn't eat breakfast because we're late for our job?"
"But the weird part is right, I forget to eat my breakfast or drink my hot coffee and you know I never skip any of that like ever. Today, literally I skipped my breakfast altogether probably because I was busy to the maximum then I almost fainted right in front of that sweet lady"
"Wait, the lady that's waving at you just now is the kind lady? And you never like ever skip breakfast. That's so weird!"
"I know that's why I said it's super weird like in our family we never skip breakfast and if we do we will automatically search for food or subconsciously pack something with us and today miraculously I didn't pack anything,".
"Anyway as I was about to faint right in front of that sweet lady, she was so concerned about my well-being, me! A nobody, just a low-life as what people said, got her attention. Like she's my princess charming or my knight and a shining lady come to my rescue"
"I was standing there doing my normal jobs greeting her while smiling at her and note to you the very first customer to smile back at me. She then asked if I'm okay as she looked at me closely which of course I said that I'm okay but then she has this feeling in which I guess, that I'm not okay so she said that I don't look okay so she takes one step towards me to invade my personal space and let me tell you, brother, she smells divine"
"I bet she uses an expensive cologne" murmur Brian making Jake roll his eyes.
"She then said to me look up, of course, I hesitated for a second because you know it's so weird to be having eye contact with a high up so I just looked down and she immediately said 'don't look down boy, you did nothing wrong so hold your head up high' while freaking hold my hand!"
"I know, I was stunned at her action too then I try to do my job and not delay anyone and of course just wanting to get away from the whole situation but she pulls me towards a near-empty chair forcing me to take a small break. She said, 'you, my boy needs to take a small break and take care of yourself first. Then you can take care of others. Remember, take care of yourself is important', before she rummaging inside her handbag then she pull out dark chocolate and said 'this is the best medicine when you're hungry or down with a sudden fatigue' while hands over the mini ball of dark chocolate to me then she said again that I'm a growing boy so eat a lot while handing me another bag of dark chocolate" said Jake enthusiastic as he pulls out one of the travel pack size dark chocolate that he got from Karol out from his backpack.
Brian who was listening to his brother looked at him slightly; "Why is she so kind? Is she crazy or just doing that for a show?" as he still feels uneasy with the whole ordeal.
"I was thinking the same thing and feeling the exact feeling like you right now, internally debating myself if this is a set-up or a prank or what, but then she sincerely asked me what time I'll be clocking out from my work?"
Brian quickly turn to look at Jake in a surprised look; "Now that's a big red alert there," as he shakes his head in an unbelievable tone.
"Again I was thinking the same with you so I lied to her said that I'll be leaving my work late but she caught up to that lie," said Jake mid-sentence as Brian make a full stop by the curb.
Brian turns his head fully towards his brother and looked at him in a disbelieve and questionable face before he starts driving again as he said;
"Continue,"
"She said 'don't lie to me boy, what time do you clock out', note to your her soft and caring tone slightly change into a strict one making me flinch a little so I told her the truth, not wanting nor daring enough to play with her or lie to her then she said 'let's grab lunch together' while smiling at me as if the intimidating aura wasn't there at all. Then I try to refuse her twice. In a split second, she gives me her sad and hurt facial expression which makes me feel guilty towards him by saying 'I will force you if you don't comply with this small request of mine, so in the end, I went in with her to eat lunch. Brother, she is the epitome of a classy, beautiful, kind and strong type of woman the one that you like brother,"
Said Jake as he smirks a little while side-eye his brother who's smiling silently by his brother comment yet as he was having fun thinking of it, his mind quickly snap back to reality as he murmurs;
"But we are not, I mean I'm not in her league to even take a glance at her," in a small voice.
While having an exciting story to tell, both brothers reached home at the same time Jake finished his story about Karol the kind lady whom he admires while Brian forgets to even ask about her name.
