“Why would I quit working at the restaurant?” She asked rhetorically and Jeffery smiled broadly
“So where have you been?” He asked
“Working…. I will be a college student soon and I need savings for my up keep.. she said
“What about all the ones you’ve been saving all this months?” Jeffrey asked
“And that’s the problem. If I tell you the truth, you will be disappointed so don’t bother asking… I will just swallow the truth.. she said and swallowed emptiness while Jeffrey chuckled at her childishness

“That’s what I heard. He replied
“Is that it? everything that happened in school today?” Fargo chipped in
“I also heard lectures will be on hold untill the exams comes to an end. Reece replied
“Wait, we weren’t in school today so how did you even get all this information? “Justin asked
“I have my ways. Yi cheng always tell me how things goes on in school” Reece replied
” Yi cheng? Why would he? After all the beatings he received from you? Fargo asked
“Yeah, that’s the job I gave him since I won’t be bullying him anymore.. Reece replied and his friends laughed
“You’ve successfully found yourself an errand boy.. Justin said and they laughed again
“So what did this your Yi cheng say again?” Remy asked
“That the b!tch was humiliated by Ryan.. Reece replied and Remy immediately balled his fingers into a fist
He got angry immediately he heard Ryan’s name but he decided to hide the fact he was angry since he was the one who asked the question in the first place
“And who is this b!tch?” Remy raised a questioning brow at him
“Mara of course.. Reece replied
“Wait, which Mara?” Fargo asked
“Minister Zhang’s daughter? The girl who likes sticking to Ryan as if she was gum?”Justin asked
“Yeah.. Reece replied, pressing his phone
“Why and how is she a b!tch?” Remy asked, interested in the talk
“Didn’t I tell you guys?” Reece looked at them and they nodded
” You didn’t..
“Oh, I thought I did.. he said and his friends shook their head at once.
“All the same. It happened few weeks ago. “Three of you weren’t in school the day the incident took place..
“Okay? His Friends paid rapt attention to what he wanted to say
“I went down there.. Reece said while Remy stared at him strangely
“Down where?” Justin asked, confused while Reece shook his head at him
“Virgin boy.. Reece smacked his head playfully and he wince
“You mean you got into her pants? You f*cked her?” Remy asked and Reece nodded.
“You’re one badass.. Justin said and he laughed.
“She wasn’t all that sweet though…She tasted sour, gross… Anyone who would f*ck her is too lazy to m@$tvrb@te ” Reece grimace and they Laughed
“How did you do that? Remy asked. ” I thought she had eyes only for Ryan?” He added
“Ryan hadn’t start schooling then. So I sweet talk her and got into her head. We kissed and before we knew it, I was buried deep inside her… Reece explained
“Then why aren’t you saying anything about it? ” Fargo asked
“I don’t use people’s predicament to mock them.. Reece said. “Since I already went down with her, that was it. Everything ends there. He added
“How does she even feel at ease seeing you everyday? Isn’t she scared you might spill the beans?” Justin asked
“That question isn’t for me man, you should have asked someone who cares instead. I have no business whatsoever with her anymore. I already got what I wanted from her and it wasn’t too pleasurable… waste of effort ” Reece shrugged and his friends laughed
“Bad guy” Remy hit his shoulders slightly
“When I thought I was the bad boy yet, I haven’t…
“Gone down with any girl… Reece completed and Justin and Fargo laughed
“Yah!!!. Remy screamed at him. He took the pillow on the sofa and began chasing him round the sitting room

Jeffrey’s eyes widdened immediately he saw this . He quickly ran to her and helped her up
“What the hell is this? Where are your manners? Is this how you treat customer?” The customer yelled and before violet could say a word of apology, her ears were already making strange sounds.
The customer had actually slapped her
“Sir, this is wrong, you didn’t even give her a chance to apologize.. Jeffrey defended and stood Infront of Violet while the man scoff
They were already drawing other customers attention
“Where did Xian get this nuisances he calls employees?” The customer said and made to slap Jeffrey when Mr Xian their boss walked to them and held the customer’s hands
“I’m sorry sir, it wasn’t intentional. She has been working here for months now and this hasn’t happened before, can you please over look it this once?” Mr Xian said and violet stared at him in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe her boss was defending her…
The man stared at violet again then at Jeffrey.. he made to walk out of the restaurant but stopped when Violet apologized
” Duìbùqi xiānshēng ( I am sorry Sir )… she bowed, still holding her cheek. She couldn’t afford to loose the job because she needed money
“You should have said that earlier and you wouldn’t have received any slap from me. Now you’re making me feel guilty ” The customer said
“I will serve you another meal. Please sir, have your sit” Violet said and the man walked back to his seat obediently which surprised Mr Xian.
He has been firing employees that made the same mistake as violet since he’d always loose his customers Everytime that happened. But he was surprised the customer still sat after all the drama
“I will be right back.. violet said and entered the kitchen. It’s her first time cooking in the restaurant but she decided to take the risk.
She was done cooking and brought the food to the man.
“Your food.. she said and her boss watched her in awe
” Violet ” Jeffrey called in a whisper, his heart skipp beats. He knew violet wasn’t very good at cooking.
” Nice aroma” her boss nodded his head
“If she’s good, I might just employ her as a chef since the work is too much for just me.. Mr Xian thought again
The customer picked up the chopsticks. He drew the plate closer to his mouth and ate from it and his eyes widdened
Violet’s heart skip beats at his action, Jeffrey and Mr Xian weren’t an exemption.
‘I’m really gonna lose my job for real this time’ She thought
