Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Stabbed in the kidney while delivering goods in the middle of the night
"Of course you didn't do anything, poor bastard." The omega's disdain grew even more pronounced. "God, it's so hard to talk to someone like you who's illiterate and hasn't even been to college."
"My meaning is very clear. If Olvera hadn't recommended you to me, you wouldn't even be qualified to meet me."
I have heard the words "there are a lot of good people" countless times, and they can't hurt me at all.
This educated omega has no idea how dirty the curse words used by the lower class are. If I tell anyone about it, I feel like this omega will scream and call the police.
The ladder of promotion and salary increase is right in front of me, and my goal has been achieved.
But I still had to pretend and pretend to refuse two or three times.
What a joke! I am a person who is neither humble nor arrogant, and I have spirit and aspirations. If I really agree to this decisively, will all the efforts I made in the early stage be wasted?
So I just listened to Kirsty's endless complaints in silence until she impatiently waved me away. Then I stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, but please allow me to refuse."
Kirsty's brows furrowed, her pretty face filled with surprise at being rejected by someone of a lower class. "What?"
Okay, it's time to perform again.
First of all, the emotions must progress layer by layer, the eyes must be complex and deep, and the mouth must move.
"I mean, rejection," I said, keeping my gaze fixed on the other person's eyes. "I don't know how Olvera mentioned me to you, nor do I know how he described me."
"But I have my own ideas. I refuse this promotion without any reason."
Olvera is a married woman after all, and without her husband she is nothing.
I'm going to change my target, like the omega in front of me. Although I know with my toes that this O will marry a powerful A in the future, at least I can get as much benefit as possible during this period.
Oh, I'm such a pitiful beta. In order to live a good life, I have to humiliate myself by allowing these Celestial Dragons to insult me. Maybe I'm just too empty inside, so I have to disguise myself as a cold and aloof person.
Thinking of the situation I am facing now, my eyes can't help but become moist. I quickly wiped away the tears with the back of my hand, and then continued to pretend to be an honest person who was in pain and sadness but pretended to be strong.
“I have nothing to do with Olvera, boss, you don’t have to take care of me because of what he said. Just treat me as an ordinary employee.”
Kirsty was completely shocked by me.
I saw clearly that the man's micro-expression changed from disgust to subtlety, with a hint of disbelief.
"Okay, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Kirsty's tone slowed down a little.
It seemed that he was moved by my pure emotions.
As for what the emotion is, I certainly won’t say.
I finally relaxed and raised my eyes to look at Kirsty. "Thank you for listening to me. This made me feel the respect that Olvera never gave me."
My eyes were sincere and serious enough. Even if it was just for three seconds, I made sure that I looked at the omega solemnly as if I was looking at gold.
The color of this omega's eyes really resembles gold. It would be great if I could dig them out.
Kirsty's expression was blank for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
He unconsciously used his fingertips to lift the hair at his shoulders and curled it slightly, his eyes slightly shifting away. "Really? Your requirements are really low."
"You can go now."
"Okay, bye." I said politely.
Although I can't wait to get a promotion and a raise, I can't wait to put on a suit and tie and kick the stupid manager downstairs out of the company.
But I want better, so I have to be patient.
This omega is a new boss who was parachuted in. He will be returning to Upward City to get married soon. By then, we must find someone new to manage this branch.
I'm so good. I'm neither humble nor overbearing, and I'm full of respect and admiration for him. No matter how you look at it, I'm the best candidate to take over the company, right?
Before leaving the office, I turned back and said, "I have a favor to ask."
He became a little more patient with me, and seemed to have anticipated something. "Go on."
"If possible, can I come up to see you again tomorrow? I don't mean anything else. If you feel uncomfortable, you can refuse me immediately."
“…” His mouth opened and closed again, but in the end he said nothing.
I left the office on my own accord.
The plan works!
When I returned to the first floor, I saw the pig-headed manager again.
He twisted his disgusting, fat body and came to me, looking down on me but having to fawn over me. "What does the boss want to see you about? Does he have any plans?"
"It's nothing, I just have to go up there again tomorrow," I said.
Pighead's expression became even more flattering.
This pig will no longer deduct any salary from me. Instead, he will take the initiative to cover for me, reduce my workload, and even ask me for help when necessary.
"I'm going to work."
Pighead nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, go ahead."
After knowing that my bicycle was destroyed, he even sent me a brand new bicycle from the warehouse, calling it an employee benefit.
I am just an honest person who focuses on my job. Of course I don’t know whether the company has this benefit or not.
I just trust others too easily, what could I do wrong?
After picking up half the cargo than before, I started my busy day's work on my brand new bicycle.
The sky gradually darkened, but the lights in the distance were still shining.
The surrounding buildings have also been replaced by dilapidated houses made of wooden boards, and only occasionally can you see some small houses built of bricks.
I know all these little houses by heart. For example, there are shady clinics, shady factories, shady brokers, shady garbage recycling stations...
All of these are unlicensed, black-hearted stores, and they are my main delivery customers.
Everyone in the slums is dirt poor. Who, except for unscrupulous bosses, would have the time to buy extremely expensive things online that require tax?
Today's delivery route still includes the West District.
I passed by the place where the rebellion was preached yesterday and saw the cordon and dark marks on the ground.
The surrounding residents were implicated and thrown into prison, while the mastermind behind the preaching was sent to the execution platform on the 21st.
I have no intention of staying here any longer.
It’s so eerie here, who knows if the souls of the dead will crawl out?
I was about to leave on my bicycle when a hand suddenly reached out from the corner and grabbed me and my bicycle!
The hard object hit my kidneys, and I immediately widened my eyes in fear. "Wait a minute! Let's talk it over!"
There is no way this shit can maintain its character at this time!
A strong smell of blood surrounded my nose, and something sticky liquid fell on my shoulder.
"I know you, deliveryman." The man's voice sounded, hoarse and dark.
I could tell from the other person's heavy breathing that he was definitely an alpha, and the kind with excellent physical fitness!
"On the 21st, I saw you."
I suddenly had a clue and started to defend myself, "No! I wasn't there at all that day. I was delivering goods!"
The alpha sneered, clearly disdainful of my spineless behavior. "You're indeed a beta, a spineless thing. I saw you get into that inspector's car with my own eyes, and he even kissed you. Haha, you stayed in the house for a long time."
When I heard this person's words, I felt relieved.
Hahaha, so they just discovered my affair with a psychopath, what did I take it seriously... Wait! This guy won't tell anyone, right?
"Friend, let's talk it over. As long as you don't tell anyone about this, I'll do anything you ask me to do."
"Okay, deliver something for me." He finally stated his purpose. "If you don't want this to be exposed, then deliver it obediently. If you think of running away, I will tell everyone about your affair, and my companions will break into your house and kill you that very night."
Damn it, the rebels have started to oppress the lower-class citizens!
I'm just an innocent beta who was drugged. What did I do wrong?
I even have to support a younger brother who is still studying! (No, I really don’t! This is just the heroine’s external personality!)
"Okay, no problem." I agreed decisively.
There's nothing I can do. I have to survive.
He laughed at my spineless behavior again, "Useless waste."
No, why are you guys as dead as the Celestial Dragons?
You're so high and mighty, you're so great, yet you're still scornful when someone points a gun at your waist? Give me the gun if you dare, and I'll shoot you right now!
Just kidding, how dare I say that?
Perhaps my indignation was too obvious for him to notice, so he thrust the gun against my waist even harder.
I gasped in pain, "Brother! Brother! Friend! This is my bread, don't break it!"
The muzzle of the gun finally retreated a little.
"What do you want me to give you? Why don't you give it to me now?" I didn't dare turn around and look at him, for fear of being silenced.
The alpha handed a palm-sized box to me from behind. "At this time three days from now, place it on the deck of a ship at the East District Pier."
The eastern part of the slum is close to the sea, and is home to many illegal immigrants and smugglers. Furthermore, many criminal gangs choose to destroy the bodies there, dismembering the bodies and throwing them directly into the sea to feed the fish.
"No, man, there are so many ships, how am I supposed to know which one it is?"
The alpha's breathing became heavier, and I thought he was losing too much blood and couldn't hold on any longer.
Should I take advantage of this opportunity to snatch his gun? After all, his voice sounded weak, so it's not impossible for me to succeed.
But what if? What hidden tricks does he have that I don't know? He's able to kidnap a Beta with connections to the Inspector in public, so it's unacceptable that he doesn't have a backup plan.
After much thought, I decided to give up resisting.
A life of promotion and salary increase is right before your eyes, and you can’t afford to make any mistakes!
"You'll know when you go there." He threw down some nonsense.
My heart sank and I felt a sense of powerlessness.
If you say so, I am not responsible for after-sales service.
But I took the box anyway and dropped it into the canvas bag that held my supplies.
"Don't even think about running away," he warned. "My companions will finish you off immediately."
"Okay, okay, no problem." I agreed readily.
The muzzle of the gun slowly moved away, and I felt the smell of blood fading away from me.
I remained in the same posture without looking back until the sound completely disappeared, then I turned back with lingering fear.
There was no one there, only fresh bloodstains on the floor.
I started brainstorming again, wavering between reporting and colluding.
I chose the latter. Who knows if those policemen will get angry with me and accuse me of "embezzlement" and arrest me?
That psychopath Olvera doesn't like me enough to be willing to get himself involved in a scandal for me.
Of course, most importantly - I was also curious about what was in the box.
What if it's useful to keep it?
Now is not the time to cut ties with Olvera. What if her husband comes back from a surprise inspection and discovers our affair and wants to kill me?
Considering that I delivered something to the rebels once, they will at least help me this time, right?
It is always useful to leave a way out for everything.
So I quickly took off my work jacket and covered the blood spots on my pants with dust.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with my body, I got back on my bike and continued delivering goods.
