The Lady Rich System
Chapter 5: Struggle to deliver lunch

Laura looks very uncomfortable. She is currently being groomed by a team of makeup artists, but she always looks towards the clock that is coiled in her right hand.

"Laura, what's wrong with you? It seems you are very anxious" asked Deborah, the male makeup artist who is stylish like a woman.

Laura smiled bitterly and shook her head while saying,

"There's nothing Debby."

"We've known for a long time. I understand that you have a problem right now" Deborah said in her wooden style.

Nayla let out a sigh that looked like she was in distress in Deborah's eyes. Then he said,

"Deb, would you mind if I let you go to town for a minute?"

Deborah scrunched her forehead and said,

"Why do you have to go to town? Don't we still have to shoot?" 

Laura breathed back. He tried to find a reason to let the director go to the city.

Suddenly there was a reason that Laura just said.

"My husband suddenly went to the hospital. And he needs a guardian there to sign the approval of the medical action that the doctor will take."

"What's? Did ya? Why did you come here? You should be in the hospital with your husband" said Deborah, who was surprised by Laura's explanation.

Laura tied her hands together and played her fingers. He closed his eyes and bit his lower lip to reduce his nervousness for lying to Deborah. Then he said,

"I just found out. Do you think the director's gonna let me go for a minute?"

"You try it now. It seems like there is still plenty of time until you come back here. Fortunately, you have completed the opening. Now mengingan you wanted permission to the director, mumpung they are taking pictures of the participants," said Deborah while pulling Laura's hand to move from her seat.

Laura also said. Deborah's manpower makes Laura unable to stop her. Now he stands in front of his director.

"What's up Laura? Why is your face so worried?" tanya Anto, the director who handles the variety show.

Laura sighed, then she told him the reason was exactly what she had told Deborah. 

The director looks very frustrated. She held onto her forehead and thought of the best way to not delay filming and Laura was not agitated during filming.

"Is an hour enough to go there?" anto asked with a stern look at Laura.

"One hour? Sorry sir, it seems less. Didn't it take us about an hour to get here?" Laura tried to negotiate with the director.

The director fell silent and he looked at Laura while thinking. Then he said,

"Two hours I think is enough. If it's too late, you'll know the consequences for yourself."

"But sir, two hours it–"

"I can tolerate at least thirty minutes" Anto said, leaving Laura still standing there.

Laura still could not believe what her director said. He stood there and asked Deborah,

"Deb, didn't I hear wrong? Just two hours?"

"Yes, and he can only forgive your delay for thirty minutes. That way, as always, there are consequences. Hunting departs, you have little time," said Deborah as she pushed Laura's body from behind to move quickly.

Laura is leaving soon. He did not want to waste his time just a little.

He rode an ojek in front of the set. Unfortunately, the taxi could not deliver it to the city. Laura had forced him by luring him to use a fairly large amount of money, unfortunately the motorcycle taxi driver refused it.

Laura took a taxi into the city. Her trip took an hour and five minutes to reach her husband's office.

Arriving at her husband's office, Arsenio was not in his office. He along with his team are reviewing the location for the creation of the ad he will be working on.

He immediately took the phone in his bag. Her fingers searched for her husband's mobile number.

"Hello, where are you now?" laura asked without greeting Arsenio as her husband answered her phone call.

I'm at the location that I'm going to use to shoot the commercial tomorrow. What was? arsenio answered from across the street.

"Where?" laura asked firmly restraining her emotions.

In the peak area. What the hell is it? Tumben once you called me just to ask this, said Arsenio who was surprised at his wife.

Laura breathed her breath. Her body felt weak to hear an answer from her husband who said that he was in the same area as his current set.

"Why didn't you say that earlier? Didn't I tell you you should tell me when you get out of the office?" nagging Laura while waiting for the taxi passing in front of her.

Sorry, I forgot. What the hell is it? You are not usually like this, asked Arsenio who sounded very curious.

"Quick send your current location. I'll bring you lunch" Laura told her husband.

After saying that, Laura immediately turned off her phone. He stopped the taxi that was still a little far from where it stood at the moment.

Laura did not just wave her hand to stop the taxi. He was in the middle of the road to get the taxi to stop.

The taxi stopped in front of Laura. Laura got into the taxi and told her her destination.

"To the Peak of Pak. Please speed up sir, to quickly arrive," Laura told the taxi driver.

"Okay ma'am" the taxi driver said in response to Laura's remarks.

The tring!

Sound of notification from his phone. 

Laura looked at her phone. She sighed and clutched her pants to vent her anger while reading a message from her husband that contained the location she was in at the moment.

"Why should I rush here if he's near where I was?" murmured Laura while looking at the side that had a food box.

The food was purchased by Laura at Arsenio's favorite dining place while she was going to her husband's office.

After a while, the taxi was moving very slowly. It could be said to be barely moving for a few minutes.

"Sorry Mom, it looks like we'll be a long time to get to where I'm headed. The jammed up to the front, ma'am, it's long" said the taxi driver without looking at Laura who was behind him.

"What is it, sir, that you can do this?" laura asked as she looked at the circular watch on her right hand.

The taxi driver opened his glass window, looking ahead for a moment. Then he said,

"Mom's custom, weekends must be like this."

Laura breathed her breath. It felt like he had no energy to carry out the rest of his mission.

However, the shadow of his mother's debt makes him back eager to carry out the mission.

"Sir, I'm in a hurry. I'd better get down here. This is the money, sir" Laura said, giving the taxi driver money.

Laura immediately took her food box out of the taxi after paying for it. He walked through the traffic jam until there were some motorcycle taxi drivers lined up there.

Laura rode on one of them. She asked the taxi driver to find the fastest way to where her husband is now.

Luckily Laura's movements were so fast and agile that the very long traffic jam could be overcome.

After paying for the motorcycle, Laura immediately ran to the location given by her husband.

"Sir, isn't that your wife?" asked one of Arsenio's colleagues to her while pointing with her chin at a woman walking towards them.
