(Dahlia POV)
When I open my eyes out of curiosity, someone is about to hit me. All of a sudden, a hand stopped him. He immediately twisted the attacker's arm to make the man scream and brought down the pan.
Unhesitatingly, I managed to pick up the pan. And hit it on the head of the man who almost hurt me.
"This is what you get! You never fed me, so you can't hurt me!
Another swing of the pan. That's it! I am very satisfied with what I did.
And when I turned to the One who saved me, my eyes widened. The frying pan fell off in my hand. This is the man who seems to have our paths always intersected. His eyes…
Karen pulled me over, and the man kicked the scoundrels again. He's with his associates. Because of them, the unwanted guest runs breathing heavily. It's like we're watching an action film.
“Dahlia… are they with you?”
I closed my eyes again. I might
(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. A kind of flower that makes the best gift for someone you admire or perceive as a strong person.This woman in front of me has the same characteristics as her name.&l
(Venal POV)Master Dryzen sat down in his chair. Some of the staff cleaned up the mess. I approached him to present his schedule. I am doing this since he just fired his secretary. I didn’t get any sleep last night to fix his schedule.There is a knock that gets my attention. One of the men approached the door. Then he came back to whisper to me, who was outside. Master Dryzen's new secretary."Master Dryzen, last night I managed to hire a highly-skilled secretary." Master didn't even look up at me. So, I nodded to the staff to let the woman in. Her name is Sha-sha.A woman of stature entered. Slender, beautiful, and independent. Most of all, she dislikes being in a relationship. Despite her red high heels, her face did not appear exhausted and she was having difficulties while walking and carrying the shoe.She immediately smiled at us. It caught Master Dryzen's attention. Again, Master Dryzen grin.
(Cedrick POV)The injuries and bruises of the weak creatures in front of me were doubled when they faced us, as a failure. They disappoint me. Tss.They were unable to evict the owner of the cafe. A blind old woman, plus two women. These women against my twenty men? And they return as a failure and injured. Agonizing in pain. What the hell?! It is a simple task, yet they failed me?!I did not listen to them at first, because I knew through their appearance that they had failed. Until I didn't realize my beating made some of 'em stop breathing. It's not my fault if they are weak.I pulled the collar of one of the losers. He is already bathed in its own blood. Still conscious and start begging in my face. I grin at him."What happened? I am ready to listen.”"Sir Cedrick...""Don't tell me, those women did t
(Dahlia POV)I would have taken the dust collector off the table when my attention is drawn outward where there are few cars coming again. What is this again? I closed my eyes to ignore what was in my mind. Don't be a pessimist, Dahlia, for they are wealthy customers, maybe? I haven't been able to rest for a bit, here they are again. The scoundrels. My mind didn't get it wrong. Tss.They entered one by one. There were strained smiles on their lips. A kind of smile that feels ashamed of how they look. Somebody beats them for good. I think they had already got what they were looking for.I approached one of them because no one dared to say something. Suddenly I was a little dazzled by the rays of the golden setting sun. Two more men entered; a man looking at me was making the umbrella that was familiar to me.It is my umbrella!I looked up at the long-legged man in front of me. He is the
(Dahlia POV)“Miss Dahlia, I am Cedrick Ma. Master Kai executive secretary. What I have said a while ago, I think I need to repeat. You have no choice but to leave the premises." the man said."I also said clearly, you can't just take Grandma's cafe.""Is money Miss Dahlia still lacking for you to start packing?" Cedrick motioned his hand and the lawyer placed an additional suitcase. Cedrick opens it, and the contents are still the same. Money.They are really persistent. I smiled bitterly.“No, thank you. Go away! Shoo!” Pointing my finger at the door.I don't know where my mother conceived me for having an act of courage. But anyway, thank you.Kai smiles arrogantly. He is making fun of me."Miss Dahlia, don't wait for our men to help you pack your belongings in this cafe. You might not like the wa
(Dahlia POV)Our attention was suddenly diverted outside. A cop siren can hear approaching where we are. I don't know who called them. I looked at the men around me. Some were injured. Wait. I'm only a woman, so I can't be accused of doing this to them, right?Police pulled over right away, but I didn't expect Mrs. Sanches' daughter to accompany them; which is she dislikes me so much. Even if I did nothing to her.Does this mean, we will be kicked out of the cafe?“Catch them. I've been driving them out of here for a long time. They don't listen to me. Stubborn." Our gaze meets and gives me a smirk."Oh, Dahlia, this is what you want. Authority will evict you out of here."Then his gaze turned to the arrogant men."Mr. Carter? Mr. Ma? I told you I would take care of them.” The tone of her voice suddenly changed for them. Such a flirt."Rent is paid on a monthly b
(Dahlia POV)(Dahlia POV)They didn't go till Grandma awoke. Tss.But I couldn't believe Grandma's reaction when I told her about the problem. Instead of slapping the arrogant man, she smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek.Grandma was ecstatic when she met him."Grandma?"“I'm sorry, dear; I'm getting old. I'm no longer able to run this cafe.”Why is the faith card suddenly shifting? I assumed Grandma didn't want to lose the store since she had owned it for a long time and served her regular customers.“Grandma, we should not be afraid of them. We will be going to fight our right for this cafe." I urged her on.“Hija, we can'ttake action against them. We were unable to fight for our rights." Grandma gave me the negative response. She turns her back with a sigh."We will accept
(Dahlia POV)When my cheap phone rang, I wasn't ashamed to takeit out. This way, the pickpockets will not attack me.The caller is Auntie Esmeralda.“How is Carlo doing? Was he truly hospitalized? So, who has hurt my son? We have a claim against whoever did this to him. You simply need to have proof that Carlo was beaten. We may be able to make money from this.”I just closed my eyes to what I heard.People nowadays require money. Money is what defiles the majority's character.Carlo's mother was more interested in money than her son. It appears that their approaches make me want to vomit.“He has surgery this morning. Your son's tongue was chopped.” I uttered it lethargically.I'm not interested in talking, especially if they're more obsessed with money than with life. And today I learned how much I despise people who exploit human life for theirfinancial
