The next day. After the incident where Daisy splashed dirty water on Axel, everyone thought that Axel wouldn't bother coming to the bar anymore. But to the surprise of the staff, Axel still appeared confident, and to top it off, he brought along a large bouquet of roses. Some curious individuals dared to estimate that the bouquet had nearly 100 flowers. A colleague who noticed Axel approaching turned to Daisy and said: "Hey Daisy, that director guy is here again." At that moment, Daisy was busy cleaning the bar to prepare for the first wave of customers for the day. She had to raise her head when she heard her colleague's announcement. "Who is it?" Daisy asked bewilderedly, not bothering to scan the area for the person mentioned. "It's Axel," Daisy's colleague hesitantly said, then abruptly stopped and hurriedly left the counter. "Where are you going?" Daisy looked after her, perplexed, and asked "Greetings, Daisy," Axel said politely, capturing Daisy's attention. The call mad
"Are you determined to resist me?" Axel shouted, highly dissatisfied with Daisy's unprofessional and ignorant behavior. "Do you believe that I would fire you immediately?"Daisy showed no fear, instead remaining calm and gently explaining, "Respected boss, the water is near your place, just within your reach. In the meantime, I am far away from it with the water jug.""I don't need to know that. You should figure out how to solve it yourself," Axel insisted, making things difficult for Daisy. "I hired you not to be lazy and shirk responsibilities.""Don't you see that I am busy?" Daisy tried to emphasize the main point."I don't see anything," Axel replied, pretending to be blind."Why make things difficult when you can reach out and touch the water jug?" Daisy objected, feeling indignant."Because I am the boss, the one paying to be served," Axel reiterated his position. "So if you don't want to..."Daisy interrupted Axel by raising her hand, requesting that he be silent. Her gaze wa
Time continued to pass, and the deadline for Axel to complete the challenge was approaching. However, up until this point, Axel had been unsuccessful in bribing Daisy with money or material possessions. Axel never liked to experience failure. He had never tasted defeat before. Could it be that this time Axel would have to face all of that? No, Axel's reputation couldn't be tarnished like that. Axel couldn't accept the feeling of humiliation and being controlled by Rosa in the future. Finally, to avoid all of that, Axel came up with an idea. He would investigate Daisy's weaknesses and use them as leverage to manipulate her into complying with Axel's arrangements. This plan could be considered despicable, but for the sake of his own future and freedom, Axel would disregard everything as long as he achieved his goal.Axel's trusted assistant, John, confidently entered the room, holding a stack of papers containing information about Daisy."Boss, here's the latest report you requested," J
"Who are you, and what do you want? Move aside so we can go," the leader asked in a loud voice. Axel didn't bother to look at them; he was focused on Daisy, the girl lying weakly on the ground. A sense of pity welled up in Axel's heart."Did you do this?" Axel asked coldly."Yeah, so what? What's it to you?""Can you hit a woman?" Axel asked, deeply indignant at this inhuman behavior. Axel has never been physically cruel to a woman, and he detests such violence."Why not? Besides, she's not a woman. She's an ugly creature."Laughter filled with mockery escaped the lips of the thugs. In their eyes, Daisy did indeed look both ugly and repulsive."So, what do you want, you audacious fool? You want to play the hero and save..."Before the man could finish his sentence, Axel swiftly delivered a powerful punch to his face. Blood started to flow from the nose and mouth of the man who had been struck."You son of a bitch, how dare you hit me?" The man screamed, a mix of anger and fear evident
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept in, shaking the trash cans around them. The lid of the trash can was lifted and thrown off, creating a loud and menacing noise. Both Axel and Daisy jolted in fear, feeling as if all their escape efforts had been discovered.Terrified, they dared not make a sound, waiting for the worst to happen. Time passed slowly in the chaos of their minds. But as nothing unfolded, their anxiety began to diminish.Axel, more determined and courageous, decided to hold his breath and sit up straight. He tried to peek outside to assess whether it was safe. His eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for any signs of hidden danger.In that moment, as Axel's mind and body reached a peak of tension, an unforeseen incident took place. From the shadows, a wild cat emerged and leapt over his head. Its mischievous gaze and subtle noise nearly caused Axel to scream. Startled, Axel lost his balance and unintentionally exerted a strong impact on Daisy's leg. It was an unint
After getting out of the trash bin, Daisy couldn't maintain her balance due to her injured right leg. Regardless of her own condition and the surrounding environment, Daisy sat down on the ground to rest and regain strength. Axel stood by her side, paying no attention to Daisy. He kept muttering curses, feeling uncomfortable within himself as the foul smell from the trash clung to his body, making him nauseous. Axel unbuttoned his outer vest and forcefully shook it, hoping to get rid of the smell. He thought that by doing so, the stench would disappear. Daisy found Axel's behavior excessive and couldn't help but smile mockingly."Do you really think that will get rid of the smell on your body? Isn't that quite naive? Stop these foolish actions," Daisy remarked."Whether it works or not is my business." Axel turned around, glared at Daisy, and reproached her with annoyance. "Whose fault is it that I ended up in this situation, huh? Can you still sit there and talk like that? You're bei
"Alright then, your hand is fine, which is a good thing." Axel said, his tone tinged with remorse and gratitude for Daisy's brave act of stepping in to protect him. Axel wanted to express his thanks to Daisy, but he was not accustomed to speaking such words. Therefore, he felt a bit awkward and unfamiliar. Nonetheless, Axel considered the fact that Daisy had helped him, and in turn, he had helped Daisy. It was seen as a fair exchange. He made this decision on his own without discussing it with Daisy."Overall, everything is fine," Daisy remarked. "Let's go home.""You're right," Axel agreed. "Let's go."With that, Axel decisively turned and walked away."Sure, goodbye," Daisy said, smiling and echoing his words.Suddenly, as Axel was walking, he stopped and turned back when he noticed Daisy still standing there, trying to figure something out. Unable to control his curiosity, he asked, "Why are you still standing there?"Daisy, caught off guard by Axel's voice, tried to remain calm an
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Daisy fiercely resisted, wincing from both the pain and the discomfort of Axel's grip."We need to talk," Axel emphasized. "I don't want to; let me go now. You're hurting me," Daisy complained, but Axel still held onto her wrist tightly. "I'll scream if you don't let go," Daisy threatened. "Go ahead; I'll indulge you completely," Axel replied fearlessly, reversing the threat. "You..." Daisy seemed helpless against Axel's determination. Finally, she had to surrender. "Release my hand, and then we can talk," Daisy negotiated softly. "Do you think you can deceive me? If I let go, you'll run away," Axel accused."I can't move with my painful leg; how could I possibly run away?" Hearing Daisy's valid point, Axel finally released his grip on her wrist. Daisy gently rubbed the spot where Axel had squeezed, giving him a disdainful look. "Speak up; I'm listening," Axel impatiently urged Daisy. "I have nothing to say to you," Daisy declared defiantly.
