In fact, Finn didn’t just get one set of uniforms from the Food Supply Department.
Almost a week ago he was hired as a new deliveryman in the department, but just yesterday he received three sets of uniforms.
However, even though he received three and not one, all the uniforms in the plastic that he received yesterday were the same color and model, but he deliberately lied to Luca by saying that he only had one set of uniforms.
His goal was obvious.
He wanted to make Luca feel guilty, and he also wanted to take advantage of that guilt.
That’s why he casually ordered the black-haired man to wash his uniform, and he didn’t take no for an answer.
When Luca was still speechless by what he said, he immediately thrust the last lunch box in his hand into the man’s hand, then he rushed to where he parked his motorbike.
He had time to look back at the black-haired man, and he waved at the man.
In return, he received a middle finger from the man.
Today was quite tiring for him.
He received a series of scoldings when he returned to the department building, and it was because he finished the work later than the appointed time.
How he returned to the building without his uniform also earned him some scolding, but he only listened to it with his right ear before letting it out through his left ear.
He didn’t take anything to heart, and he could even calmly eat his lunch in the building’s cafeteria.
The Food Supply Department had its own building in every district in the East Block.
Finn wasn’t actually a resident of District 1, but he managed to get a job at District 1’s Food Supply Department thanks to someone’s help.
And today, he was going to meet that person in the department’s cafeteria.
SLAP.
“Did you wait long, Finnie?”
Finn gritted his teeth in anger after receiving a hard slap on the back of his head, and he furiously glared at the person standing next to where he was sitting.
He had actually asked that to express his annoyance, but he was instead stunned when he remembered that someone else had scolded him for the same reason.
He suddenly became lost in his memories, and the person standing next to him even frowned in confusion because of the stupid expression on his face.
“What’s wrong, Finnie?
It’s only your first week on the job, but you look like a different person,” the man finally sat down in the empty seat next to Finn.
It was already past lunchtime, so the cafeteria was quite empty.
In fact, only the department staff were allowed to eat there, and the man who met Finn today was not one of the staff.
However, he had the privilege of meeting Finn in that place today.
Finn gasped in surprise as he once again regained his composure, but he did not answer the man’s question and instead asked him, “Where’s your lunch box?
Didn’t you say that we’d be having lunch together today?
That’s why we agreed to meet here, right?”
The man sitting next to Finn was a man with a buzz haircut.
His brown hair was cut very short, and he wore a dark brown uniform with two pockets on the front.
Above the right pocket were several small badges, while the embroidery above the left pocket could be read as “Clare Burther.”
“You still dare to ask that question, huh?” The man named Clare lazily asked back instead of answering.
“We agreed to meet during lunch break, and that’s why I rushed back from the fortress to see you today.
But, what message did you send me an hour ago?
You said you would be late for our meeting today, and do you think I would be able to ask my stomach to stop crying and wait for you for another hour before I could finally eat?”
Clare sounded dramatic, and he even gave Finn a pair of puppy eyes, but Finn looked disgusted as he even used his index finger to push the man’s forehead. This chapter was taken from novelping(.)com without permission.
“You’re such a glutton!” Finn mocked the other man.
“I wonder how you managed to survive in the fortress.
I heard that soldiers can only eat instant food specially made for war, but you persist in that job instead of running home and crying in your daddy’s arms.”
“Damn,” Clare snickered in response to Finn.
“I persisted in this job because of my father, so of course, I wouldn’t run home and cry in his arms!” He seemed like he wanted to continue talking about himself, but he suddenly frowned as if remembering something before asking, “Why are we talking about me?
I’m here because I have a few questions to ask you, and they’re related to your sudden request to transfer from District 4 to District 1 nearly two weeks ago.
Why did you suddenly want to transfer here?”
Finn was not originally a resident of District 1.
His old ID card stated that he was a resident of District 4, and he could not actually just move to another district at will.
Every resident in the East Block must remain in their respective districts and may not move at will except on orders from the block management.
However, Finn used his connections, and within a week, he had a new ID card as a resident of District 1.
“You also asked me to find you a job here, and I even had to ask my father for help so that you could work here,” Clare spoke again even though the blonde man still did not respond to him.
“Ah, that was actually not the worst task you gave me a week ago.
In fact, the worst task was when you asked me to find your playmate in the game!
How could you ask the mighty sergeant of the Fortress Defense to find a missing person, huh?
Is the person behind the LonelyWolfff account that important to you?”
