Chapter 15 A day in a Cafe

She works three times a week in the Café, she has to work at least 20 hours, so that world includes half a day on weekends. The Café is located near her University, it became the hub of the students and University staff. At this hour it was very busy and she had a hard time having a personal break. At this moment her waist is so stiff that it hurts to even bend.

“Honey, go have a break I’ll cover you.” Yan noticed she was exhausted. She nodded because she can’t take it anymore. She took a cup of coffee and a piece of bread and sat at the corner, Chelsea closed her eyes to enjoy her coffee when Haley’s group came in. Upon seeing her they took it as an opportunity to torment her. Chelsea only shook her head, no one is more bully than her own parents, Haley’s vile attitude is nothing compared to the greatest bully of her life. She let out a smirk which made Haley’s brow furrowed. They moved closer to her table and pulled some chairs and joined her.

“Hey! Go get me coffee.” One of Haley’s minions stupidly commanded her to get her coffee. Did this bimbo think they’re living in the old times of the master slave era? How could these pea brains pass their college entrance exam? Chelsea took a sip and enjoyed her bread, ignoring these silver dusted ladies. Haley’s eyes narrowed and hit the table with the palm of her hand.

“Are you deaf? Didn’t we ask you to bring us coffee?” Her eyes narrowed in anger. Chelsea raised her head and stared at her brows raised, stared at Haley daring her to do more than just verbal attack.

Chelsea ate the rest of her bread and leisurely drank her coffee not minding the provocations of Haley, which hasn’t done anything except empty threats and words. Just when she’s done Haley grasps her arms and pulls her and throws her on the floor. This woman is stupid, she now doubted the credibility of the University of accepting students. The incident caught everyone’s attention including Yan. He came over and helped Chelsea up.

“Are you okay?” Seeing that a cute looking boy helped Chelsea, Haley’s anger became more evident.

“You, call your manager here, I would like to complain.” She said putting her hands on her hips, trying to intimidate the café staff.

“Chelsea is the manager, you better stop harassing the staff or I’ll call the police.” Yan said. Of course not but he’s her friend and will protect her.

“She’s the manager? Then call the owner.” She pointed the direction of the cafe’s private office. How can this girl easily believe what he just said? But that’s not his problem she’s stupid.

“I am the owner, get out of my cafe or I will throw you out myself.” The real owner of the cafe are two old couples that didn’t even stay in Poppy so there’s no way they would know what he just said. Yan pointed at the door, his expression is calm but angry.

“This café has horrible customer service! Did everyone hear it? The owner is chasing away his customer.” Chelsea can’t believe this girl’s shamelessness. She did not waste any of her breath and turned to call the building’s security, but just as she was about to leave, her hair was pulled by one of Haley’s minions. It hurts so much that she can’t help but scream. Ethan witnessed the scene, his sister’s hair was pulled by that girl. He ran towards them, embraced her sister and pushed the girl away. Haley, didn’t know Ethan is Chelsea’s brother thought another cute guy protecting her. It aggravated her more and wanted to scratch Chelsea’s face. She was about to attach Chelsea verbally again when the security came.

“Sir take these women away, they disturbed the peace of this establishment, I have CCTV inside if you want evidence.” Yan really wanted to humiliate them for what they have. The security team didn’t wait for the evidence, they escorted Haley and friends away from the café. Haley kept shouting foul words and cursing Chelsea outside and calling her names she used to call her own mother secretly.

“Sister, are you okay? I’m sorry I came in too late.” Ethan hugged her, she now just realized that Ethan is now taller than her for almost four inches.

“You got taller buddy! You’re grown too much again.” Then hugged her brother back and smiled. He took Ethan to the corner and served him a chocolate milk drink and cafe’s best seller pasta.

Everyone was back with minding their own business after the scene Haley created. The peace was restored and Chelsea’s day at the café is back to it’s routine course which is busy. Rowena came in later bringing some of their friends in the class, by this time Ethan was already introduced to her friends so they were more familiar with each other now, so Ethan told them what happened. Ron gritted her teeth and jaws stiff in vexation. Sooner she will have to make something to teach that woman a lesson. She needs to know where she stands in this society so she’ll be a good citizen, Ron thought. She makes a mental note to brainstorm these brainiacs to teach Hale and her minions a lesson they can’t forget in this life.

Chelsea noticed her friends from afar and waived at them. Signaling them that she can’t be with them for now. They all waved back and nodded their heads like silly ducks.
