"The bills?" Emily murmured, but no one paid any attention to her.It was as if her legs were transfixed to the spot, and all she could do was watch with a broken heart as Samantha and her cohorts walked out of the restaurant with their heads held high, leaving her to herself. As soon as their backs were no longer visible, she sank to the chair in disappointment, and it was at this point that her mind was drawn to all the things the three ladies had ordered.Hot Sticks is one of the most expensive restaurants in town, and the bill is way above what the average working class could afford. And Emily is way below the average working class level; how then do they expect her to pay for all they have consumed?All that was left with Emily were just a few dollar bills. She had intentionally ensured that she came with extra money in case Samantha refused to drive her home.Never did she imagine that she was going to pay for any food. She did not even plan to take anything here, even if it we

It was with deep pain that Emily watched Kendra leave to go get the manager to attend to her case. What else can she do; she has already prepared herself mentally for what is to come. And truth be told, she has had way more embarrassment than this one, all thanks to Samantha.She fell into her seat and cast her head downward as she pondered where this would lead to. Would the manager decide to detain her until the bills are offset, which would take forever, or will they sell her off if that is possible?But then, of what use would she be to her buyer as a human? Things that could normally take her more than an hour to achieve would take a werewolf a couple of minutes, so buying her would only amount to acquiring a liability, which is what Emily has always considered herself to be.By the time she raised her head to look around, she saw that almost everyone's eyes were on her, especially those of the waiters and the security personnel.Some were staring at her in pity and zeal to bette

Emily was baffled. She never expected that anyone would refer to her as a friend at such a precarious time. All along, she had been surrounded by strangers who took no pity on her, so she could not imagine who would want to speak up for her.Nevertheless, she concluded that it could be that someone in the restaurant had finally taken pity on her, and all she had to do was wait and find out who would be so kind.When she finally turned to see who had come for her, she discovered that it was Colbert Lesley. On seeing him, she was covered in shame but, at the same time, was grateful. She hated to be seen in her most deplorable state.As much as she tried, she could not find answers to the numerous disturbing questions running through her mind. She wanted to know what he was doing in the restaurant. He was the one who brought her, and that was long ago. Now, why is he back? She asked herself. She also wondered how he got to know that she was in trouble."Col... bert..." Emily whispered.S

Mr. Josh walked down to the reception and met the Xerxes twins at it again. He heard the chaos from his office upstairs, and looking through the CCTV in his office, he saw that it was the twins trying once again to make Emily’s life miserable.As it is, Mr. Josh is tired of the everyday trouble, but he does not know what to do to abate these unpleasant situations. He has gone as far as relieving the twins of the duty of communicating their needs to the junior staff in the office and requesting that they relay their demands to the head of the affected department for it to be immediately taken care of.Sadly, even such a perfect arrangement did not deter the twins from having their regular tussle with Emily, who is only a receptionist in the huge establishment.Nevertheless, Mr. Josh had vowed to put an end to this today, if not for his own sanity, then for that of the firm. The twins had approached him a number of times to demand that he relieve Emily of her duty as front desk personne

Oscar Lee and his wife, Elise Lee, were sitting in the sitting room when the door was forcefully opened, and in rushed Samantha, their daughter. As soon as she entered, her eyes searched quickly through the sitting room before she made her way up the staircase, completely ignoring the presence of her parents.The parents noticed their daughter's strange attitude, and seeing that she was about to go to her room, the mother called her back.Hey, Samantha, you are back," she said.Samantha paused on the staircase for a second and, without responding, made to continue on her way.Her reaction made Elise even more worried, and so she quickly stood up and took some steps forward."What happened, Samantha? Why are you this way?" she inquired. "You went to a party; what happened there? Look at your eyes." She was overwhelmed with fear.Seeing that she was left with no choice, Samantha decided to open up. She was already in big trouble, and even if her parents might not be able to save her thi
