My Bothersome Life Chapter 66

I had never seen a single tear from Luke before as I had never seen him ever close to crying .

His blue eyes were gleaming from the tears forming in his eyes and he hugged me like he was making sure I was real .

"I'll talk about what happened after work," I whispered into his ear .

Luke nodded as he knew it was essential that we got all the points from this a.s.signment . There was only three more hours until this week at Alex's company ended anyways .

Since I knew what to do from working on Monday, we continued to work along each other silently until the work day was over .

The man in a fancy business suit from the first day came up to us as we packed up our stuff to leave . "The work you two did was pretty impressive, so I will reward you with 150,000 points . "
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
After he updated the points we had, we were free to leave .

While I was forming a plan inside my head to tell Luke what happened, I found myself in Luke's house . I was in the familiar yellow wallpapered room where I was scolded when I went to the mall with Luke and I left him alone and made him worry about me .

I sat down in the armchair while fiddling with my fingers, "It wasn't intentional, I was going to take a stroll near the estate and come back after an hour," I started off .

"But-" I gasped for air as I felt a choking sensation as I attempted to talk more about the matter .

When I tried getting another word out, I started to cough unstoppably and I gave up trying to explain what happened .

"You know I'm not pretending to do this so I don't have to tell you about this, right?" I finally coughed the words to Luke .

Luke's stern expression quickly turned into a face full of worry and contemplation as he paced back and forth .

Since I was finished with the conversation, I walked out of the room to my bedroom in Luke's house .

When I was sure that no one was watching me, I tapped my wrist wis.h.i.+ng for one light Memor to appear . Unfortunately, no Memors came out . I got disappointed and I hoped that I didn't get scammed for my money (even though the money was technically Luke's not mine) and went to sleep soon after .

I was laying down on my bed in my familiar bedroom in school full of regret . I had one week away from school and I was only able to spend two days at Alex's company .

I thought I would have some free time during the weekend, but I was immediately whisked back to school to study by Luke .

When I was alone for the past few days, I tapped my tattooed wrist many times and no Memors ever appeared . I sulked as I wanted a vacation more than ever as I antic.i.p.ated more tortures of studying to come .

"Rika!" Sh.e.l.ly jumped to hug me while I was paralyzed from surprise .

"I was worried about you when Luke secretly sent out a search party for you . "

"What?" I spit out in surprise .

"He only sent out the notice for close friends in our circle . " Sh.e.l.ly remembered with sadness .

When I didn't respond, Sh.e.l.ly continued, "Even Alex was really worried for you . Since you were working at his company, he made his employees search for you near the area for three days before giving up . "

"We all thought you were kidnapped when Luke panicked from most of your money gone from your account . " Ellen said while strolling into the room .

When I recalled the nasty time flow in the other dimension, I simply responded, "It was nothing like a kidnapping . I just forgot to keep track of time . "

When I thought it would simply end there with my friends worried about me, I was wrong .

"Welcome back from your a.s.signments! I know some of you had some hards.h.i.+ps in the first district so the school will take into account that no a.s.signments in the first district anymore for middle school students as measures taken so certain incidents never happen again . " Daniel announced .

Wow . The school was forbidding the first district after my supposedly "kidnapping" . Apparently my 'incident' was a lot more serious than I thought it would be .
