Chapter 16 The two Executive Secretaries
(Dahlia POV)
“No! You're a thief! How could you steal from me?! Are young people nowadays that cunning?”
The crowd around us started taking photos or videos, but the old woman did nothing but fire up their curiosity.
“I helped you, ma’am. I wouldn’t steal from you. I am not a thief.”
“Don’t you dare talk back, miss!”
But that’s the truth.
I respect the elderly but don’t tolerate bullies… Anyway, I decided to be more patient than her.
“Ma’am, let's just talk this to—”
“You think I’m a liar? Do you want to take me to prison?“
Wait? Was I just scammed? A gaslighting drama to extort from me? I know this kind of drama. She's playing the victim and weak, for people believe her that I robbed her.
I smiled.

(DAHLIA POV)I was in the corridor, which is the rooms are for VIP patients. Has Carlo used an expensive room? Oh no! This can’t happen. The woman stopped at the front of a door, which is… is Carlo’s VIP room. My pocket was panicking about it. So, before we entered, I had to ask the clerk who really brought my cousin there?“Tell me the truth, Miss. Who brought Carlo here? Is he commissioned to do that ?!” my blood was seething.Did the hospital sponsor Carlo so he wouldn't have to pay for the bill? Or will the one who brought him here be gonna pay?No. Carlo was brought here for burying us in the hospital bill by the one who beat him.“You’re worried about the expenses? Aren’t you concerned about him?” A baritone voice asked.I turned to see who was talking and saw a man taking a cup of drink from the dispenser.“I don&r

(Dahlia POV)I called his parents. Their initial reaction was just like mine, drag Carlo out of the hospital. Until I told them the details. What kind of people did he mess up with to end up that way? But it felt as if it was my fault…I should have given him my money as soon as he asked for it. If I did, he would’ve had stayed home, bruise-free and healthy.“Auntie, what happened to Carlo is really dreadful. He is critical now. He needs to undergo surgery immediately.” I slowly tell them the real situation; hope they listen to me. I couldn't bear this all by myself.“Carlo is just scaring you. Gosh, don't believe him. Let me call him and I will scold him for good. I thought he had a job there. Tss.”"A job?" This reckless person really lied to his parents. He doesn't even help Grandma's cafe ever since he comes here.“Yes. He told me these past days he g

(Dahlia POV)I realized; Carlo was being truthful when he said we’re going to lose the shop. Stupid guy! Just what was he thinking?! I let them do things freely. But to meddle with the old man's property was unforgivable! Carlo is a bad weed, which meant he wouldn’t die easily. It’s up to karma to bitch whoever did that to him.I turned around when I heard someone coughing on his drink. He obviously wishes to get my attention. It was the man from earlier. There, buddy. You should know where to put your nose on.He caught my deadly gaze, the reason why he spilled his drinks. The man who thought he knew my situation a while ago. The one who interfered with that I was more concerned with money than Carlo's severe condition.What he wants to see is begging to save my cousin's life. Cry for him.

(Venal POV)I went back to the shop for the real purpose of our visit. To talk to the woman. I found the two women serving our men with milk tea. I just nodded when they stared at me.“Where did you go?” The woman greeted me vigorously. She has had this lively aura around her ever since we first met. Her name is Dahlia Amelia. Like the flower, she makes a place more beautiful.I smiled at her.Generally, the significance of Dahlia flowers is positive. Perhaps the most common of all isfinding inner strength, which roots back to the plant’s ability to withstand harsh conditions.Some say, Dahlias, are remaining graceful and standing out from the crowd since their beauty and elegance are undeniable.
