24 TASK COMPLETED

 

"What happened?"

Zeva had a devasted expression on her face, and she said, "I lost a golden opportunity!"

"What opportunity?" Lia asked, confused.

 

Zeva looked at Lia, as if she would start crying any moment now. And said, "There that handsome man asked if he could repay my kindness and help by anything! And I denied!! I am so stupid!"

 

Hearing that, Lia nodded her head with her lips shaped like an 'O' and said, "Oh, so now you regret that why you did not ask him for money?"

 

Zeva looked at the little girl with a black face and said, "NO! Who needs money! I can earn a lots of money myself!"

 

"Then?" Lia asked.

"It's sad that I did not ask him for his number!" Zeva exclaimed.

 

"…" Okay. Now, Lia had nothing else to say. She looked back at Zeva and said, "I did not know, you were a sucker for good looks. And have special eye on men." Lia now saw Zeva with judging eyes.

 

Zeva giggled and said, "What? Who doesn't like things that are pleasing to the eye?! And you should have looked at him from close, little girl! He was so handsome!" Then speaking in her defence, she said, "And I don't go salivating at any and every man! It's just the first time in my life that I felt my heart beating like crazy and that I want to give a try at someone for a love angle!"

 

Lia sneered at the girl who already looked like a love struck fool. Did this girl forget that she has more important things to do then ogle at men and distribute her heart around?!

"And what is Mr Handsome's name? And is he single?" And just like that, little Lia threw two reality check bombs at Zeva's way.

 

"…" And very obviously, Zeva went dumb at this. NO! She did not know.

And just by looking at her face, Lia knew that Zeva did not know the answer and she burst out laughing.

"HEEHAHAHAH!" She laughed holding her stomach with one hand, and pointing at Zeva with another and said, "Miss Girly, fell in love at first sight, but forgot to ask for his name! HEHAHAAH! And not only that she doesn't even know if he is single or taken!"

 

Zeva sighed. Tsk! She truly acted stupid there. "I was so enchanted with his looks that I forgot to ask his name." Lia giggled more hearing this.

 

"And if he is taken..? Then, what can I do? I will just give up. I don't wish to be the other woman in anyone's life. I will be my first heart, sigh!" Zeva said.

 

Lia chuckled and said, "But the question is, will you ever meet him again."

 

"Woahh!" Zeva was about to say something. But before that, the system's program screen appeared in front of them.

[ TASK #1 SUCCESFULLY COMPLETED]

[CONGRATULATIONS ZEVA CHEN!]

[AWARDED MATERIASTIC POSSESION AT YOUR PLACE]

 

Zeva read it all. And the screen disappeared from in front of them.

"Task completed?" Zeva asked surprisedly.

"Yes! Did you forget how you have beaten the boy black and blue there just now!" Lia said as a matter of fact.

 

"Oh yes! That's right!" Zeva's eyes lit up in realisation. "Wow! Am I not great? I just killed two birds with one stone!"

She then looked excitedly at Lia and asked, "By the way, what did I actually get?"

She did not understand what was the reward honestly. She just did it for the sake of doing it.

 

Lia put a finger on her cheek, and wondered, "Hm… Materialistic possession, it says, huh? I don't know exactly what it means, but from the name, it means that it can be material that you human use in your life. Even it is my first task, so I have limited idea about it. We will get to know about it after we reach home."

 

Zeva nodded, and said, "Let's get done with everything here, then we will rush home."

She then climbed on her bike, and after Lia sat behind her, and held her tightly, she rode away from there.

 ***

At a distance of a few kilometres from there, a couple of cars of cars were running through the highway.

In one of the luxurious car, two people were sitting on the backseat. One of them was strikingly good looking and had a remarkably intimidating presence, while another had more of a professional and formally respectful touch to his presence. 

 The former had a folder his in hold, as his deep eyes went through it. While the latter, took glances at him from time to time.

After a few minutes, the former man closed the folder and kept away, he asked as he loosened his tie a little, "What is his condition?"

He was the same stunning creature, whose life was saved by Zeva a while ago.
