Isabella's pov;"No letter is present! not sophisticated knowledge! not an account! Nothing was present. Where did you go during this time? What did you do during that time? Charlotte covered both of the shifts for you since you weren't present. She deserves your gratitude for accomplishing that for you. Your home address, phone number, or anything else is unknown to us. Even though this place doesn't hire outsiders, I accepted you to work here because you're my brother's friend. And, how do you repay it?" Becky questioned me."I apologise.""I'm not in need of your excuse. If you weren't there during your shifts, please provide a valid explanation. Where have you been?""My... Actually, I didn't want to say this as an excuse but I want to be honest. My mother underwent surgery recently so I took care of her. Since I got upset with my mother, I drank a lot of booze and got alcohol poisoning. I needed some time to recover from it. Guess, I took a pretty long time. I'm sorry, Becky." Be

Isabella's pov;"Go on."While Harry was looking and waiting for a response from me, I sighed and began to search for an explanation. However, I lack any. I said it because I wanted to get away from him and didn't realise he would wait all day and catch me while I was practising basketball.I asked him, "For you, wasn't it getting late? I mean, it's 5:00 p.m. You should have left for home by now, right?""Nah! I already informed my driver that I'll be late today, so it's fine with me.""I… I…""Are you proposing to this guy?" Ikea questioned me after hitting me with a ball.She rejected my attempt to hurl the ball over her face and asked Harry, "Why does your face look familiar to me?"Harry answered, "You probably saw me in the noticeboard and the school's official website displaying mine and Isabella's…"I interrupted him before he could continue and said to Ikea, "Don't you already have practise? I remember that there is still time for practice, therefore I should return to the matc

Isabella's pov;"Hello, Tori!"I waved my hand at Victoria, who was cleaning the glasses with a cloth behind the stand.I continued, "I forgot to ask you before, do you only serve customers here or do you also serve VIPs?""Only the customers in this area. The boss told me that I needed to learn more before serving them. Hey! Have you heard about the new member? He appears to be cool and handsome, but he is younger than me. Not a chance to flirt.""FYI. You also have a boyfriend, Tori.""Hahaha. That's correct. So, did you happen to see him?""No, I haven't," I said, shaking my head."How come you come across as uninterested?""It's because I'm not.""And why is this so?""Um, I have final exams in a few days, so I need to keep my mind steady.""Oh, you're serious? I'm sorry. Bella, do your best." And gave a thumbs up."I appreciate it."Tori said to me as I was arranging the glasses on the counter, "Hello, Bella! Can you bring these to table four?""Sure, sure. Give it to me."I went

Isabella's pov:When I awoke, I realised I was no longer in Mr Martinez's house, but in mine. I looked at the empty mattress beside me that Mr Martinez had spread out on the floor before leaving in the middle of the night. I didn't even ask if he had returned home.I sighed and got out of bed, rolling up the mattress and storing it in the corner.After showering, I changed into my school uniform. My usual breakfast consisted of instant cup noodles. At Mr Martinez's house, I missed eating Kirk's dishes. He would always surprise me with a new dish every morning because I adored his cooking. I felt happy and good after eating his food every morning like it was some kind of energy to my everyday life. I walked out of the house after taking my belongings to school. My phone started ringing while I was holding the door knob to lock it. I let go of it and looked through my pockets and discovered the sound coming from inside the house. I pushed open the door and searched for my phone. It was

Sophia's pov;During breakfast,"Did you study well for the exams?" My brother inquired as I ate my breakfast before leaving for school."Yeah." And I kept eating my breakfast."Can't you respond while looking at me? And why are you rushing your breakfast? There is still time to go to school."I didn't say anything and kept eating."Why are you upset with me? Was it because I kicked her out? She fled on her own. And she didn't flee empty-handed. She took two million dollars with her. I knew she worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, but I had no idea she was so desperate for money that she had a relationship with a rich guy who's older than her.""I've heard a lot in school; do you want to do it here as well?""But I wasn't entirely wrong. She did steal the money, didn't she? Did she make contact with you?"I stood up from the table, shaking my head."Wait until I drop you off at school.""It's fine, I'll ride my bike." And then I left the house.While driving, I wondered what would h
