Chuck was really surprised.
Queenie didn’t tell virtual-novel.net where virtual-novel.net was working at part-time, so virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was working in a restaurant far away.
He thought virtual-novel.net was reluctant to say anything because virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net concerns. Chuck never expected virtual-novel.net to actually be working part-time in a restaurant in his plaza.
Queenie was originally pretty and innocent looking, and the fact that virtual-novel.net always put up virtual-novel.net hairstyle in a bun made virtual-novel.net look even cuter. However, by wearing a uniform, it managed to compliment virtual-novel.net curvy body allowing virtual-novel.net to bring out the sexiness that virtual-novel.net usually didn’t seem to have.
Chuck was surprised, virtual-novel.net never knew Queenie could look so attractive.
Yvette was also surprised.
Queenie was virtual-novel.net student, but virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net family’s financial situation was not good and virtual-novel.net had been working part time. She observed and found Queenie’s complexion to be slightly pale, as though virtual-novel.net was too busy to spare some time to eat. All of a sudden Yvette felt empathy towards hardworking, poor Queenie.
Queenie was taken aback with joy when virtual-novel.net saw Yvette here since virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net teacher. However, virtual-novel.net was surprised to see Chuck at first.
She knew that Chuck was probably just here with Yvette to have something to eat and the joy in virtual-novel.net heart died down. However, upon making contact with Chuck’s eyes, Queenie felt a little embarrassed.
Would virtual-novel.net look down on herself just because virtual-novel.net was working as a waitress?
Would virtual-novel.net stop talking to her?
Queenie’s mind was flooded with worries.
As for Zelda, since virtual-novel.net was not acquainted with Queenie, virtual-novel.net was entirely focused on observing the restaurant that imitated hers.
“Teacher, Chuck, here is the menu.” Queenie said softly
Yvette nodded and took the menu. “Haven’t you had dinner yet? Sit down and eat with us…”
“Yes, let’s eat together.” Chuck realized that Queenie was probably extremely hungry, and virtual-novel.net took pity on her.
“No, the rule here is that we can’t eat together with customers!” Queenie hurriedly shook virtual-novel.net head.
Yvette said helplessly, “Alright.”
She ordered a few dishes quickly then handed the menu to Chuck.
Chuck was not in the mood to order anything. He shook his head and gave it to Zelda.
Zelda looked at it for a while and then pointed at a few items.
The dishes were ordered.
Queenie said, “Alright teacher, Chuck, wait a minute! I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare your orders quickly.”
While Queenie went to the front desk with the menu, Yvette shook virtual-novel.net head and said “This girl is too considerate.”
Chuck hesitated. Indeed, virtual-novel.net was considerate.
Queenie seemed to have borrowed money to study in university, and virtual-novel.net worked part time every day. Chuck and virtual-novel.net had a good relationship. Most of the time, the two of them have their meals in the canteen together.
In that case, should virtual-novel.net allow virtual-novel.net to work under Yolanda Lane?
The salary is also much higher and virtual-novel.net doesn’t have to be busy until virtual-novel.net can’t even enjoy a simple meal.
It would just be a matter of word for Chuck, so why couldn’t he?
Chuck immediately excused himself and got up to look for Queenie.
This restaurant is really like mine, the interior designs, the uniforms, and even the menu are all similar!
The only thing missing is the name…
Zelda was slightly angry. All the concepts in virtual-novel.net restaurant including the designs and the menu were designed by herself overnight. Now someone had the audacity to copy virtual-novel.net work and implement them here.
How dare they?
Yvette was a little embarrassed.
If they came here for dinner didn’t it mean that they were supporting the pirated version of Zelda’s restaurant?
“By the way, what was the issue last time that you mentioned that prompted you to thank me like this?”
Zelda’s expression returned to normal. When virtual-novel.net heard Yvette say this, virtual-novel.net thought.
Did virtual-novel.net want to thank me for treating virtual-novel.net to steak last time?
Was this why virtual-novel.net was treating virtual-novel.net to dinner too?
“It was the call that Chuck made to you,” Yvette said.
“Call?” Zelda was suspicious.
She didn’t remember Chuck calling virtual-novel.net at all.
Yvette was confused when virtual-novel.net saw Zelda’s expression.
Didn’t Chuck call her?
Why did virtual-novel.net look so bewildered?
Who did Chuck call then if it wasn’t Zelda?
Who could possibly make the square owner to force Manager Yarn on his knees and fire him?
Zelda quickly scanned the situation and inadvertently looked at the direction of Chuck.
She muttered in virtual-novel.net heart.
Chuck, didn’t you hide from Yvette when you were at the restaurant last time?
What on earth do you want to do this time?
Are you using me as a shield or something?
Oh well, might as well just cooperate with his lies for now…
Zelda smiled. “Don’t mention what happened last time. It’s just a phone call, isn’t it? It’s okay…”
Yvette, who was in confusion, heard Zelda’s words which dispelled virtual-novel.net doubts. She thought about it for a while but didn’t really know who Chuck could call apart from Zelda. Now that Zelda admitted it, virtual-novel.net naturally had no more questions.
“No matter what, thank you so much…” Yvette said seriously.
Zelda shook virtual-novel.net head. She didn’t know what Yvette was talking about, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t tell the truth. She could only change the topic.
Both of them were beautiful women of similar composure, so they easily managed to get topics of interest.
Soon, they were smiling together as they chatted away, looking almost like long-lost sisters reunited.
Meanwhile, Chuck was waiting at the door of the kitchen. However, a waiter who saw virtual-novel.net standing there immediately notified virtual-novel.net that the kitchen was off-limits to customers.
Chuck explained that virtual-novel.net was looking for someone, but was met with the waiter’s judgmental look.
He took one look at Chuck and scoffed. “Looking for someone? The only people working in the kitchen are the waiters and the chefs!”
Queenie had just managed to pass the order to the chef before walking out of the kitchen. She saw Chuck standing there and bit virtual-novel.net lips. She walked over to him.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re working part-time here?” Chuck sighed.
Queenie’s face was a sickly pale color as virtual-novel.net had yet to eat anything. Queenie was Chuck’s only good friend in school, so virtual-novel.net felt a little bit sorry for virtual-novel.net seeing virtual-novel.net work like this.
“I’m sorry…” Queenie lowered virtual-novel.net head.
To be honest, virtual-novel.net felt strange recently ever since virtual-novel.net stayed with Chuck in the same house last time. Then, virtual-novel.net had worried if Chuck would enter virtual-novel.net room, but after virtual-novel.net didn’t, virtual-novel.net was slightly disappointed instead.
A few days ago, after seeing Chuck’s makeover that complemented his charisma, the strange feeling in virtual-novel.net heart spread. She almost felt that the Chuck virtual-novel.net was looking at was no longer the same person with the Chuck of the past. She felt inferior to him.
“That’s not what I mean. Why don’t you change your job, I…” Chuck tried to explain.
He was here to stop Queenie from doing this job.
Queenie was disappointed. Sure enough, Chuck was looking down on her.
“I…. I think it’s good. The salary here is a bit higher than in other places. I will continue to do it.”
“No, I mean…”
“Thank you, the treatment here is pretty good. Plus, I don’t think it’s a big deal to be a waitress, since I can earn money to support myself…” Queenie bit virtual-novel.net lips.
She felt wronged and virtual-novel.net voice grew softer and softer as virtual-novel.net lost confidence.
Chuck felt helpless as virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had definitely misunderstood what virtual-novel.net was trying to say.
Just when virtual-novel.net was trying to clear up the situation, a steel, cold voice loomed above them, “Queenie, you don’t want to work anymore, do you? I didn’t expect you to be so lazy and chatting with others when you’re at work. I asked you to come to work, and that’s how you repay me?”
The man who spoke was a middle-aged, bald man in a suit. The fat on his face jiggled as virtual-novel.net spoke, and virtual-novel.net walked over to the two of them looking stern and mean.
Queenie panicked. “Manager, I didn’t…”
“What? Do you think I’m blind?” The middle-aged man glared at Queenie. “You violated the rules. I’ll deduct 100 dollars from your salary!”
“Manager, please don’t.” Queenie cried.
Her pay was 16 dollars per hour and virtual-novel.net worked for 3 hours every day. If virtual-novel.net lost 100 dollars, virtual-novel.net work for the past few days would be for nothing.
“No? You can either choose to get a pay cut or get out of here! You choose by yourself! Our restaurant is not short of people!” The middle-aged man snorted disdainfully, looking extremely ferocious due to the meat on his cheeks.
Queenie’s tears flowed down virtual-novel.net face like a string of broken pearls. She wanted to hold back virtual-novel.net tears because Chuck was with her. She did not want virtual-novel.net to see virtual-novel.net like this, or virtual-novel.net would feel more inferior.
She bit virtual-novel.net lip and nodded with a choked voice. “I-I’m not leaving. You can deduct my money…”
“Hmph, smart decision! What are you waiting for? Go clean the tables. You’re so slow at obeying orders, are you trying to fish in troubled waters? Listen carefully, if there’s a next time, it’ll be useless even if you beg me! Leave!” The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
“Yes!” Queenie wiped away virtual-novel.net tears and bowed before leaving.
However, a warm hand grabbed virtual-novel.net by the hand and stopped virtual-novel.net from leaving. Her tears had already stopped, but when the hand grabbed her, virtual-novel.net tears couldn’t help overflowing.
“Stop working,” Chuck said gently.
The middle-aged man was not happy.
He glanced at Chuck and sneered. “Who are you? Listen here, only I can decide whether virtual-novel.net goes to work or not. She’ll only be able to work if I allow virtual-novel.net to. If not, it will be futile even if virtual-novel.net knelt down and begged me to work!”
“You have such great power?” Chuck narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone.
“I am the manager of the restaurant. What do you think?” The middle-aged man scoffed arrogantly.
“Manager of the restaurant?” Chuck laughed. “That’s a pretty high rank!”
