Chapter 1 Beautiful Liaisons
“Hello?”
“Hi, good day. May I ask if it’s Ms. Jasmine Wong? This is Jetta Express. You have a delivery.” Johnny
Franco said in a flat tone as he looked at the parcel in his hand.
“Where are you?” Jasmine asked coldly. However, Johnny was mesmerized by her extremely sweet
voice.
“I’m just outside your villa complex. I was supposed to send them to your doorstep, but the security
guards didn’t allow me to get into the complex. So I have to trouble you to come out to collect them. If
not, you can contact your apartment management and ask them to let me in.” Johnny made an
explanation. He had no choice but to call Jasmine as this was a high-end villa complex which was
strictly guarded and the security guards wouldn’t allow couriers like Johnny to get into the complex.
“I’m at the office and not at home.”
“How about this, I’ll leave the packages at your security office, but you’ll need to notify them and ask
them to accept the packages on your behalf.”
“No, these were bought overseas and cost a lot. I need to accept it in person so that I can inspect it.”
“But… but … you’re not at home.” Johnny was in a fix. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Then wait for me, I’ll be home in two hours.”
“Ah… how about this, Ms. Wong, can you let me know what time you’ll be at home tomorrow or the day
after tomorrow? I’ll deliver the packages when you are home. I have a lot of parcels to deliver today,
I…”
“Cut the craps. I need them today and I can’t wait till tomorrow. I will get off the work at five-thirty and
will be home by six o’clock. Wait for me at the entrance to my complex at six o’clock. I will lodge a
complaint against you if you are not there at six o’clock. Bye!” The woman was demanding and
unreasonable. Thereafter she ended the call.
“Damn bitch, what got into her? She must be going through menopause. These packages are from
overseas? It must be dildos and extra-large ones!” Johnny continued to grumble after the call was
ended. He had encountered all sorts of people as a courier. It was only normal that he was berated. But
Johnny couldn’t help but grumble.
He looked at the time and it was only a little after three o’clock. If he were to wait for her until six
o’clock, then he would not be able to complete the delivery of the rest of the parcels. When that
happened, then he would certainly receive many complaints. If there was any complaint, his salary for
this month would be deducted. Jetta Express had many strict rules for management and once being
complained by a customer, the courier would be punished. He would be fined or be dismissed based
on the seriousness. Nonetheless, if he didn’t wait here, that menopausal woman would definitely
complain about him. Johnny had no choice but to ride his tricycle, continue with the rest of the
deliveries and then rush back here before six o’clock. This was his life as a courier.
At a place like Pearl City, the number of parcels that they received each day was enormous and the
parcels allocated to each courier to be delivered were alarming. A courier like Johnny would have to
work continuously from morning till the evening even without time for a proper lunch. Johnny had to
quickly complete his other deliveries because he needed to return to that place at six o’clock.
After a great effort to finish his other deliveries, Johnny sped his electric tricycle towards the villa
complex. Johnny was finally back at the villa and was about to make a phone call when he noticed a
lady walking towards him.
This lady was so beautiful that Johnny was startled. Johnny had been a courier for several months in a
cosmopolitan city like Pearl City and had encountered tens of thousands of people daily. He had seen
countless women and interacted with numerous beautiful women but this was the first time he had
seen such an exquisite lady! Johnny estimated that she was no more than thirty and probably twenty-
seven to eight years old. She looked mature, elegant, and lofty. She gave Johnny a feeling that she
was a strong career woman.
“There’s no need to call, I’m Jasmine Wong.” The lady walked to Johnny and said coldly.
Johnny was stunned and then smiled and said, “I’m sorry to let you wait.”
“I told you to be here at six o’clock and now it is already five past six. I already called your company to
lodge a complaint against you.” The lady said with disregard for Johnny.
Johnny glared at her with his eyes wide open and cursed angrily, “Damn woman, was that necessary
for being five minutes late?”
“What did you say? You cussed at me?” The lady frowned.
Johnny also knew that he shouldn’t scold her. He suppressed his anger and said, “Madam, I…”
“Who are you calling a Madam?” The lady was more dissatisfied.
“No… Miss Wong, I couldn’t wait two hours for you. We couriers have a route to follow from the nearest
to the farthest. I had to quickly deliver all the packages and return from the furthest point to deliver
these packages to you. Look at my electric tricycle, I can’t ride that fast. If you insist on lodging a
complaint just because I’m late for five minutes, then you are too… unreasonable.” Johnny felt
extremely wronged. He actually wanted to say that she was despicable but he controlled himself in the
end. If they had continued to argue and she was to lodge another complaint, then he would be severely
punished.
“That’s your problem. Since you are in the service industry, you should already know what your job
entailed. Not to mention five minutes, even a second late would be a problem. I already told the
security guard. Follow my car in and deliver the packages to my doorstep.” The lady didn’t bother about
Johnny. She turned to enter a beautiful BMW 7 series and drove into the residential complex.
“What a bitch! It’s obvious that she hasn’t been satisfied for a while. Her menopause must have come
early! Oh my, one hundred dollars! Fuck! Delivering parcels to this woman is really unlucky. What
Brown said was right, beautiful women are all vile and vicious.” Johnny rode his tricycle and followed
behind the BMW as he cussed away.
This was the villa complex and the entire residential complex was landscaped like a huge garden. The
greenery was beautiful and done tastefully. Behind the rows of flowers and trees were the luxurious
villas. Although Johnny had been a courier for several months, this was still the first time that he had
delivered to a high-class villa complex. This was also the first time that he had a glimpse of how the
wealthy lived.
The BMW drove slowly and was obviously waiting for Johnny but no matter how slow it drove, it was
still quicker than the electric tricycle. Johnny almost lost sight of the BMW but still managed to catch up
and finally drove into a courtyard.
Johnny stopped the tricycle behind the BMW and then got out of it.
“There are a total of eleven packages. Please sign here.” Johnny took out the delivery invoice and
scanned each package before giving the invoice to Jasmine.
“Help me open all the packages. I want to ensure that the contents are undamaged before signing
them.” The lady said coldly.
“Miss Wong, it’s your right to inspect the contents before you sign for it. But you need to open the
packages by yourself. We are not allowed to open the packages. What if I open the package and there
is a problem with the contents, then wouldn’t it become my responsibility? Who will I turn to then?”
