(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)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)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.

(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)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
