Chapter 106
Both Benjamin and Damian got jobs after not only catching the two snakes but also saving the life of a
worker. Christopher, however, got rebuked over phone by Samael for not taking care of the property well.
“Snakes won’te unless there are rats or some other food that attracts them,” he said. “If this repeats
again, I’ll make sure your career ends, so focus on working and reducing the size of your pants.”

Christopher kept apologizing throughout the duration of the call. Afterward, he began cursing the snakes
for almost making him lose his job.”It was peaceful during the days Benjamin was gone,” he thought. “He
returned today, and it’s be chaotic all of a sudden. It’s even pouring outside.”
It was raining quite heavily, but the pizza deliverers still went out for delivery. Benjamin and Damian used
motorbikes, while keeping the pizza boxes in special hot containers. Both of them were delivering at
apartments next to one another, so they traveled together andpeted to see who would get to the
destination first. Though Damian was fast and skilful, Benjamin knew the streets better, so he managed
to reach first a few seconds early and made the delivery also.
During heavy rains, Pizzas were priced at two to three times more than their normal prices, but people
who wanted to eat warm pizzas during rain would still buy it. The chances of earning handsome tips
were also high.
Benjamin received a 50 dor tip after delivering eight boxes. Damian on the other hand received a 100
dor tip after delivering only five boxes.
Damian was only a one-star deliverer unlike Benjamin who was reappointed as a seven-star deliverer, so
Benjamin felt the need to earn more than Damian through the tips. They made chain deliveries
afterward. It rained heavily until evening. Damian sessfully delivered all the 20 orders without fail and
earned 380 dors in tips. Benjamin made 21 orders and earned 1320 dors in tips. He had thest
laugh, but he wasn’t all that proud of his achievement as it was natural that seven-star deliverers
received higher tips on averagepared to other deliverers. Benjamin wouldn’t have earned this much
if it wasn’t raining hard outside. The same was the case for Damian.
At the end of the day, both earned well. “It was a good first day for both of us,” Benjamin said. “Yeah, you
are right,” Damian smiled. Both of them sped each other’s hands. “Let’s see who’ll do better
tomorrow,” Damian’s gaze was full of spirit and zeal. “Haha, sure, but prepare yourself to get second
again.” Seeing Benjamin and Damian so happy, Christopher felt mad and envious. After Benjamin left,
he came upto Damian and demanded money from his tips. He took 300 dors and let Damian
keep the rest.
“This is what every fresher has to go through, so don’t make mee to you tomorrow,” he said and
hiddenlyughed. “This will continue until you earn my respect.” Damian didn’t like how his hard-earned
money was stolen. He was walking toward Christopher who had his back turned against him, but the
waiter he saved yesterday approached him. “Hi, Damian. Are you free tonight?” she asked without any
hesitation. “I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Damian paused for a second before smiling, “I’m avable.” “Great,” she thought he might reject her
because he came from the countryside, but she was surprised. “Save my phone number then.” “Sure.”
They exchanged phone numbers.
“I’m Damian, by the way.”
“I’m Sasha.”
“I have a car, so I can drop you at home if you want,” Damian suggested. “You don’t have to,” she said,
but he kept staring at her, so she ended up agreeing. (What’s with his look? His eyes have something
deep about them.) As he drove his old car, he chatted with her. “What do you do other than working at
Rye’s Pizzas.”
“Nothing else, currently,” she said. “My grandmother and I live together. She’s gotten quite old and weak,
but she still wants to visit the park and whatnot, so I recently hired a man named Sohel to take care of
her daily needs. The tips I earn at work will help me pay Sohel. I’m saving the remaining for buying a
taxi.” “Oh, so you want to be a taxi driver, huh. A female taxi driver. It won’t be easy with some
customers.”
“I’m aware, but I’ll install cameras and all, so I don’t think I won’t be able to handle them.”
“Mm.”
“So what about you? What did you do before joining Rye’s Pizzas?” “Ie from a very distant ce,”
he said. “I was jobless before.” “I see.” She then opened up her heart a little. “Thanks for helping me
yesterday. After getting bitten, I was too terrified I couldn’t even move, and no one came forward, except
for you. If not for your help, anything could have happened. I’m still alive because of your kindness. If I
die, no one’s there to take care of my grandmother.”
Damian didn’t say anything.
After dropping her at home, he left. A red Porsche drove past his car and went at a decently high speed
even though it was raining outside..
IR 1.
“The roads are still slippery,” he thought, and the rain started oe again. “I hope they at least wore seat
belts.”
It was Reba who was driving the Porsche. She was returning from work, and Arlo had showed up
today and harassed her, so she was in a bad mood.
Her mobile rang. She nced at the screen. It was Benjamin calling. She stopped the car by pressing
the brake rather aggressively. Her ankle still didn’t fully heal, but she didn’t care. She kept staring at the
screen until the phone stopped ringing. It wasn’t just Benjamin’s call, but she hadn’t picked up anyone’s
call for many days. “Why does he keep calling me?” she bit her lower lip. “What more lies does he want
to share with me?” Her eyes were clouded with tears.

Her phone rang again. She quickly wiped her tears and looked at the mobile screen, thinking it was
Benjamin, but the name Hashan was disyed on the screen. “Isn’t he…”
She thought for a second and answered the call. “Hi, Madam, this is Hashan Harokee, the event
manager you booked for your wedding reception,” a man politely spoke from the other side. “You haven’t
been answering my calls, so I thought you canceled the event or something.”
“Actually, the event was canceled.” “What?”
“I’m sorry. A lot of things happened,” she sniffled a bit as she wiped her tears. “And the event was
canceled. You don’t need to pay the advance I gave you, so don’t worry.” Saying that she immediately
ended the call even though the other person was about to say something. Tringg-! She received a text
message from Benjamin: I’m sorry.
She thought she controlled her tears, but the tears fought back now and tried to escape through her
eyes. She got out of the car, and tears welled up in his eyes like waves sweeping to the shore. She cried
as much as she wanted in the rain. After five minutes, she got back inside, her dresspletely soaked
wet. She was shivering, but that didn’t bother her as her whole mind felt numb. She checked her mobile
just to see if there was any new message from Benjamin, but there was only one new message, and it
was from Hashan, saying that he already transferred the advance money to her ount. “He didn’t need
to do that,” She thought. “He’s only making me feel even worse.”
