CHAPTER 05
 

Rebecca dropped him at the Rye’s Pizzas, a cluster of vintage pizza huts, and left without saying at least a cursory bye. Only Benjamin waved his hand, expecting her to look back. Though she didn’t look back, she did notice his efforts through the mirror and faintly smiled.

 

“I wish I knew fashion designing as well,” Benjamin thought. “Then I would have joined her company.” He sighed and got to work.

 

Right after entering the cluster of huts, Benjamin had to take out all of his possessions and put them in the employee’s storage box before getting into the blue uniform. Rings, lockets, and bracelets especially were not allowed inside the food center after all.

 

Normal deliveries must be made within 30 minutes to any part of the city, and the customers would give anywhere from 1 to 5 stars of rating.

 

Express deliveries must be made within 15 minutes only, and the customers would give anywhere from 1 to seven stars.

 

Benjamin’s average rating now reached 4.8 after over 12,000 successful deliveries, and he was long eligible to do express deliveries. He even held the highest record of delivering 183 parcels in a single day, but the manager didn’t allow him to do the express deliveries just because of one reason. Every evening, a Porsche came to pick up Benjamin, and it made him extremely envious. He believed that such a guy wouldn’t need to become a seven-star deliverer as there were others who would be glad to earn a bigger salary compared to Benjamin.

 

However, unaware of the manager’s intentions, Benjamin kept asking for promotion. After all, express delivery would increase his salary by almost eighty percent, and his tips would bulk up as well.

 

Before 10 o’clock, Benjamin inserted a second sim into his mobile, and he started receiving calls straight away. However, he answered only after the clock ticked to the ten hour mark.

 

The first call was a kid laughing and chuckling as he ordered ten pizzas. He wasn’t even smart enough to mask his voice. Benjamin kept asking for his name, but the kid didn’t reveal it and told Benjamin to bring the pizzas quickly to the address he blurted out. Benjamin cut the call and shook his head.

 

“A prank call to start the day. I have a bad feeling about this,” he sighed.
