Lost in Obsession by Brianna Novel Full Chapters

Chapter 11

The staff of the audiobook platform said that according to the current views of the audiobook they had recorded, if they charged for it, the monthly income would not be less than 16 thousand dollars.

If the platform promoted this audiobook, the income would be higher.

In this way, Lucie could get at least 5,000 dollars every month.

Plus, Lucie had other income. Then she could cover Phoebe’s medical expenses in the VIP ward for a month.

Jeffrey said that if the audiobook could make money, it would prove that the listeners really liked their voices. Then they could spend more time working with the platform again to record other audiobooks and make more money.

It was a really good start and even a wonderful cycle.

When they became more famous, their income would naturally rise.

Lucie did not want to fantasize about the future. She only wanted to be practical and do a good job to earn all the money that she could earn now.

On the way back, Lucie was so happy that she bought herself a cup of coffee for the first time to celebrate.

She had drunk coffee before, but that was bought by others.

Most of the time, she knew she couldn’t afford to buy coffee for them, so she turned it down.

She only added a little sugar to today’s coffee, but she felt it was so sweet. She was very happy.

Her life, finally, was moving in a good direction.

She drank the coffee for more than an hour until she dragged her suitcase back to Apartment 1 of Jedon Bay’s gate. She threw the empty coffee cup into the garbage can next to the gate.

“Who are you? Stop!”

Just as Lucie was dragging her suitcase and following a woman who came back from a grocery store toward the gate, a security guard suddenly rushed over and stopped her.

Lucie was stunned and looked up at the security guard, asking confusedly, “What’s wrong?”

The security guard looked Lucie up and down. “Who allowed you to follow her in?”

Lucie laughed, “I live inside.”

The security guard frowned at her words and sized her up again. “Which apartment do you live in?”

“Apartment 6701 on the 67th floor,” Lucie replied.

Seeing that Lucie answered without nervousness, the security guard was unsure of her identity. He thought for a moment and said, “Okay, then you can have your face scanned and go in.”

Saying that, the security guard backed away a few steps, allowing Lucie to let the machine scan her face.

Lucie thought, “I have to have my face scanned to get in?”

It was the first time Lucie knew about such a rule.

Apparently, the camera scanned her face, but there was no response. The gate was still tightly closed.

“It proves that you are not an owner here. Hurry up and leave.” The security guard began to drive her away with impatience.

“I’m indeed not an owner here. I’m a new maid here,” Lucie told the guard.

“You’re a maid?”

The security guard looked at Lucie again and became friendly. “Then ask your employer to come downstairs and lead you in. Record your face in the security system or call the butler to come and lead you in. Anyway, you definitely can’t go in without anyone leading you.”

Lucie thought about it, nodded, backed away to the side, and sent Scott a Line message.

She didn’t have his cell phone number.

She waited ten minutes or so, yet he still hadn’t replied.

It was almost 8 p.m. now. Lucie wondered if he was still busy working.

After hesitating for a while, she sent Scott a Line call request.

But he didn’t answer until it was hung up automatically.

Maybe he really was still working.

Lucie pulled her suitcase, sat down in front of the steps next to the fountain, and sent another Line message to Scott: “I’m waiting for you outside the gate of the community. If you’re back, come downstairs and pick me up.”

After the message was sent, her cell phone vibrated.

Thinking that Scott must have replied, she quickly checked it.

However, it was not his reply.

It was a message from Jeffrey.

Jeffrey said that the audiobook platform recognized both of their voices and was eager to collaborate with them on a second audiobook. The platform had even chosen some novels for them.

Jeffrey sent five novels over to Lucie, saying that she could pick one, take a good look at it, and try to record it.

It was good to make money anyway, not to mention that she just needed to spend time and use her voice. She didn’t have to take any risks.

Lucie immediately agreed and carefully read the five novels Jeffrey had sent her.

Probably because she read them too attentively, Lucie completely forgot the time.

A cool wind blew in the night, bringing the gushing pool water down to her body. She felt cold and shivered, which pulled her back to her senses.

She took a glance at the time. It was actually already past midnight.

“No one is coming to pick you up. Just leave. Don’t spend more time here.”

The security guard saw this thin and quiet girl wait alone for more than four hours until after midnight. Yet no one came to pick her up. He suddenly felt she was pitiful.

Lucie glanced at the security guard and checked her Line again.

Scott did not reply to her.

Maybe he was too busy to see her message.

Lucie wanted to make another Line call to him.

But her fingers paused in the air.

Suddenly, her nose twitched, and she wanted to cry.

She thought, “I’m nothing more than a prostitute for Scott, not even a fuck buddy, so how can I take myself so seriously?”

“Okay, thank you.” She nodded, took her suitcase, and turned to leave.

“Lucie.”

Suddenly, the gate not far away opened, and a familiar voice came from the doorway.

Lucie stopped in her tracks with a slight frown.
