Saved By A Bully

Chapter 6 : The rich kids aren't mean

Regan kept her phone inside her pocket before saying with a smirk, "Me too, Ana. I can't wait to beat this piece of s.hit. I am not going to stop until I force-feeding him his stack of money."

I nodded to her. Like me, she was also offended by the way he wanted to buy us with money. I said to that sly dog, "Trust me, sir. You shouldn't have shown that money of yours. We can be poor, but not greedy or have a loose character like you. Showing your money, you have crossed all the boundaries today. Now no one can save you from us." Regan held him by his collar, sneered at him, "You are going to pay for this."

She was about to hit him, but stopped when our boss warned us, "Girls!" We looked at her, and found she was giving her a stern look, saying, "No fight here." Regan made a sound of distaste and moved away. She was probably cursing our boss for interrupting her in her beating that sly dog. I huffed in annoyance. 

She looked at him and said sternly, "We can let you leave in one condition you know, sir. Apologize to her and our customers here." He looked pissed to hear her. He was about to protest, our boss stopped him.

"No," Raising her finger, she said with her dark eyes, "No more words here. If you want us to allow you to leave this restaurant, you have to apologize to Leah. If you don't, - " She looked at me and Regan, saying, "Girls! You are allowed to do whatever you want to do with him. I will not stop you." Regan saluted her and where I smiled in satisfaction. She didn't disappoint us at least. That guy's face sunk and nodded to her.

He apologized to Leah, "I am sorry. It will never happen again.", and then everyone, "I am sorry, everyone." It went on for two more minutes before everyone moved away from his way and let him leave that restaurant. I sucked in a long breath before moving back to my customers who didn't get to touch their breakfast as they went to stand by our side to help us to fight against that scum. Jessie was still there.

I stopped in front of them and asked politely with a small smile, "Do you want me to bring your breakfast again as your food must have gotten colder by now. I will bring your coffee and tea with your other orders within five minutes. Thank you for being there for our waitress, sir, and ma'am. This means a lot to us."

One of the girls with black hair and brown eyes said in a flat tone, "You don't have to thank us for the things we generally do. This is not new for us." What does that even mean? I fought back the urge in asking her to explain herself again. I only nodded my head as I didn't know what I should tell her next. 

The guy, named Logan said with a smile, "Yes, don't thank us for that, instead, we all are surprised to see how you acted fearlessly there, Ms., I don't think you have needed help to put him in his place, right?" 

He is right, but he doesn't need to know that. I can fight against one or two, not more than that. I was trained before, but not so well. I know limited and preferred to stay in a low profile for my own good. 

One of the boys in his leather said, "The food is still warm. It would be best if you only bring us our drink again." I nodded and then grabbed all the drinks from their table with the help of Jessie before leaving for the kitchen. After making their drinks, I went to give them to their table. After their breakfast, they left after paying the bill and giving us some huge tips. We thanked them before they left our restaurant. 

At the end of my shift, I went to change my uniform into my clothes before leaving that locker room with my bag and walked directly to my boss's room to grab that box which I told her to keep with her as I intended to take that from her after leaving that restaurant. I knocked on the door before entered her cabin. She was working on her computer when I said, "Boss, give me that box. It's my time to take leave."

She nodded before bringing out that box from her drawer. I kept that box inside my bag and went outside the room when she called me from behind. She came out from her cabin and asked, "Did you get any news so far from your school, Ana?" I shook my head in denial. Aunt Nina also asked me the same question in the morning. I better check in this evening after feeding my little Emma. I am going to spend time with her today. I heard her saying, "You don't have to worry. I am sure you are going to get your admission soon."

I nodded at her. I hope she was right. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and heard Regan said with a smug face, "Hey, girl. You are going home, right?" It was also the end of her shift. She was playing with her motorbike's key mindlessly. I told her, "Ya, I was just talking with our boss here." Her eyes were glinting in amusement. She looked at our boss, saying, "You know I love you, right, boss? You are the best boss of mine ever." Indeed she is. Our boss scoffed and moved away from Regan who was about to pinch her chubby cheeks. Our boss was not that old and all not that young. She still looks like a school nerd.

I told her with a nod, "I agree with you, Regan. She is the best. If you push her stinginess aside, you can see she is the perfect boss of ours." I smirked to see the dumbfounded expression on our boss's face. She didn't see that coming. Regan got the hint and decided to play along with me. Regan smirked at me.

She said with a terrified expression on her face, "Seriously, Ana. Before I used to think maybe my wristwatch isn't working or something at home. Since the time I came to know she is so dedicated to cheese-paring, I have started wearing my watch." I laughed out loud after hearing her. 

I told her, "Her time runs one hour earlier than the New York time. I told her to give me her watch so that I can repair it and return that to her the next day. I even told her I will repair her watch free of cost. But she!"

Regan gasped before saying, "You mean her watch is dead and now working at all!" She looked at our boss and said with an incredulous expression on her face, "Goodness! This is so horrible." 

I butted in, "I know, right? I observed that two months ago. Can you imagine, Regan? She is so her."

Regan cringed at that. She said, "Eww! Can I take my word back now? I think I don't love you anymore, boss." Our boss looked mortified to see us talking about her like she was not even there. Regan's words hit her really hard which made her fumed at me angrily. I burst into a fit of laughter at that. 

Huffing at me, she said, "Fine." She gave me her dead watch, saying, "Go and bring this tomorrow after repairing my wristwatch, okay?" Taking that, I gave her a salute before saying, "I am in your service, boss."

She told to Regan with a glare, "And you! You better not forget about your night shift here, Regan. You told me you will make up for the last Wednesday you failed to come here for waitressing, remember?" Uh, oh!

Regan's eyes widened when the realization hit her. She exclaimed, "Oh, snap! I totally forgot about that. Can I make it up to some other day, please? I race tonight. Please! You do know I love you, right? Please."

Our boss is kind and also can't resist when someone starts sweet-talking to her. She scoffed at Regan, saying, "Fine. But if you don't make this up tomorrow, you are going to lose your job. Do you get it?"

Regan huffed, saying, "Then I better do my work today." Poor girl. She added, "I will be back within two hours, boss." Our boss nodded before entering her cabin. We both left that restaurant and went to the parking lot while talking a bit. Regan is coming from a middle-class family. She is my age and studying in a top school in New York. She has been studying in that school since sophomore year. 

She told me while wearing her helmet, "I hope you got a chance in my school, Ana. It will be best to gang up there, you know besides studying together." Talking about studies, her eyes were twinkling in mischief. 

I knew what she meant by saying that. I smiled at her, saying, "Sure it will be fun. Let's see if I'm lucky enough to get a scholarship from that school. It will be great if I get a chance there as my home was not far from your school." After talking a little bit, she drove off to her home most probably. 

I went to my Scotty and sat on it after wearing my helmet. I was about to turn on the engine, I felt a gaze on me. That wasn't familiar, but not that creepy to me. I followed the direction from where I felt like someone was watching me, I found a boy in black leather was standing, leaning against his racing motorbike. He was busy talking to someone, but his eyes were fixed on me. I scowled at him for that. 

He must be a school jock who is doing his perversity business. I scoffed at that thought before turning on the engine and sped off toward my home. I don't have time for looking at that jock and go to him to tell him to keep his eyes on himself. I was pissed to get that box and then it went too far when that old guy was harassing my colleague. I might have turned a blind eye to that, but that isn't me. 

I don't fear to raise my voice to anyone. It can turn worse if I am pissed before for some reason. After seeing that guy's gaze was on me, I felt like going to him and beat him for checking me out like that. Maybe I am just being an extra toughie and oppositely taking everything. 

Damn me! I need to stop thinking about them now. I huffed to myself in annoyance and took a deep breath. I need to focus on my little rabbit who must be playing with aunt Lisa. The thought made my face hardened and I felt a distaste in my heart. I am jealous of aunt Lisa for this which is not fair. But I can't help it. So, I decided to spend my time with Emma. She deserves my all attention after all. 

I skidded my vehicle in front of my home and hopped off to open the gate to keep my Scotty to my garage. After that, I went to aunt Lina's home to take my daughter from her. The first thing I did was, I washed my hands with water from her water tab in her garden before I went to press the calling bell of her home.

I heard a faint baby voice was coming from the other side of the door, "Mo...ou...oeeey...," Dear God, would it turn me into a monster if I bite my baby?
