20 It is for a good cause after all

To put both the playboy Lucas and no hanky-panky in one sentence was too odd. A little too odd. However, it is possible it might happen since Sara would not tell a lie. She would be showing a hint of her being flustered over the phone but she did not.

Harith was left in confusion after the phone call with Sara. Everyone sounded certain that Sara is Lucas' current plaything. Naturally that would mean the person who staked his claimed over Sara during the Blood Red Party would be Lucas.

However Sara informed that nothing happened apart from talking. 'So why did he call her to his office if not to drink her blood? Unless he had his fill that day. But that still does not explain why Sara went there just to have a conversation. Hmm….' he wondered with curiosity.

Harith figured if Lucas did what he normally does to Sara, he planned to influence Sara to seduce Lucas. If Lucas were addicted to her, he would try to find a way to control Sara in order to control Lucas. But none of that happened.

He contemplated whether to carry forward with Plan B but that would jeopardise his friendship with Sara. The possibility of Plan B to backfire is too high and he would yield nothing. Then again, there is a tiny possibility it might work and if it works, he would be able to bring everything down.

The thought of Adrianna's wrongful death fuelled his vengeance immensely. 'By eliminating the purist, a sacrifice is a must so we can revolutionised the society and they shall crumble in my hands!' Harith is now burning with desire to see the collapse of his own race.

The next day came and Sara was already tired from her walk to her office from her flat. She complained to Lisa of how she could predict the future. Sara could not believe that strangers were assaulting her, asking about Lucas nonstop.

"Did I also not give you a solution to that?" Lisa stared at Sara, expecting Sara to admit she was wrong. Sara silently nodded and sat on her chair. Fortunately Lisa was expecting this and had called security for back ups.

She even made an appeal to the higher management to release memorandum to ensure people stop flocking by the office or harass any of the Accounting Department team, as it would affect their working environment and their productivity. She even went further conveniently including the consequences of what might happen should they be understaffed.

It took less than two hours for the memo to be released internally and it was effective immediately.

"Wow! I have got to hand it to you, Lisa. You truly deserve to be our leader!" said Jia Yu in admiration.

"Yes so now that is done, I hope you will not slack off. There is no room for mistakes, understand?" Lisa demanded.

A week passed by and Lucas was craving for Sara's blood. He wanted to befriend her, to try again to make Sara fall for him but he could not. He wanted to see her, to meet her so the friendship can be deepen but the smell of her blood was overwhelming; he might lose control and bite her there. He was trying to be extra careful, knowing that Sara is still not aware of his nature.

Lucas went on to find one of his friends, Davian and asked for his opinions. Instead, he was made fun of.

"Of all people, it would be easier for you to just bite her down. She would love it especially of your position and what she might get out of it," Davian, one of his friends, encouraged.

"No… She's different. What if she'll run away?" Lucas whined faintly.

"What do you mean? You never seemed to care about all this," Davian raised his eyebrows, looking at him suspiciously. "Just puncture her neck, end of story!"

"Where else am I going to find flavour like that if she is to run away?"

"There's plenty of them, just find some other that is closest to her scents!" answered Davian as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Picture this; say your plaything disappears. How you going to find a replacement that taste as good as her?" Lucas wanted to defend himself, wanted Davian to see why he wanted a solution.

"Just find another!"

"Have you not found one that is compatible to your taste at all?"

"Hey, a food is just a food. Replenishment is just replenishment. Or are you saying one of the potatoes taste much better than the next potato even though they come from the same plant? It's technically a buffet out there. What are you complaining about?"

"I knew it was useless to talk to you. Call your sister and asked for her help."

Davian called up her sister and tried to explain the situation. He then passed on the message to Lucas grumbly, "Jean says you could ask her to donate blood. That way, you can enjoy it whenever. It'll be a pint only though."

"That's good enough! Tell them to send a request for her blood donation. I want them in a week."

For the next few days, they have been sending numerous invites of various information (or excuses in this case) for Sara to participate in the Blood Donation Drive. By the fifth day, it is enough to be compiled into a booklet. But it appears to be an effective method because now Sara is considering doing it.

When she asked whether Jia Yu would be participating, Jia Yu does not looked like she was aware of such events. The moment Sara showed the compiled invites, Jia Yu mumbled to herself 'Can't they at least be more discreet in this?'

Unfortunately Sara failed to hear that as she continued to assume everyone receiving it. Sara is resolved and determined to participate for the Blood Donation Drive happening over the weekends. The people need it. It is for a good cause after all!
