Lies

" What do you mean that this is how it is? Hello? Hello? HELLO?" Madam Tian almost threw the phone that she was holding in her hand in anger, she could not believe that after doing so much for that girl, she repaid her like this, she wanted to move, then fine! She would have not stopped her but she could have at least told her about making a move before!

" Madam Tian is something the matter?" Seeing the frustrated look on Madam Tian's face, Xua Yenay could not help but ask if everything was all right or not, after all, even though they only knew Madam Tian for less than a day, she knew that the elderly woman was not someone who would get angry for just anything.

Madam Tian heaved a heavy sigh as she turned to look at Xua Yenay who was standing behind her and then said with an annoyed look, " You might not know this but there is this girl who used to work in my restaurant before you moved here, Chi Shuyan. She was a hard-working girl whose parents did not have enough money to send her to college, they made her work day in and out, I took pity on her and gave her a job who would have expected that she would turn a white eye wolf just like her parents!"

With her hands moving around extremely fast Madam Tian scoffed and then said, " She ran to the S city the second she cleared the college exams and did not even bother to tell me about it. Now we are a waitress short, this place is still under development and many workers come to eat here when it's lunchtime, now with just you... I am afraid we will have a hard time managing."

When Xua Yenay heard this even she could not help but frown, she was indeed not enough after all she was the one who was serving the milk and buns earlier this morning and even though the customers that came were only half of the ones that came in the afternoon, Xua Yenay felt like she was spinning like a top without getting a chance to breathe just as she was thinking of suggesting that they hire a daily worker she heard her sister say from behind,

" I can help."

Both Xua Yenay and Madam Tian turned to look at Xua Ying Yue in surprise, it was only then did they realised that Xua Ying Yue was now an adult who was allowed to work part-time.

" But your hands…" Xue Yenay looked at her sister's hands that were still not healed and hesitated, though she would like her sister to work under her, she still could not look over the fact that her sister's hands were still injured severely.

" I will be fine," said Xua Ying Yue as she looked at her sister who was staring at her with a hesitating look on her face. " They are already healing and I don't start college till the fifth, I will be bored … and I am no longer a student sister, I need to earn my pocket money as well. Or else I will be mocked by my peers in the college for relying on my elder sister."

Her words caused both Madam Tian and Xua Yenay to smile, in the end, Madam Tian agreed upon seeing how insistent Xua Ying Yue was being.

" But you need to take care of yourself, if you hurt your hands then I will have no choice but to fire you lest someone says that I am torturing you," Madam Tian said solemnly but the glint in her eyes told Xua Ying Yue that she was teasing her but even so Xua Ying Yue took her word seriously after all she knew that by only growing up properly will she be able to take those people down.

She was not allowed to have even a single weakness! Because if she did have one then she was sure that those people will try to make use of it. While this thought came to her head, she instinctively turned to look at her sister who was looking at her with worry in her eyes and clenched her fingers.

" I will make sure that I will not get hurt." Xua Ying Yue nodded and agreed.

After appointing Xua Ying Yue as the new waitress Madam Tian was very much relieved, at least from what she could see Xua Ying Yue was much more efficient than her sister, she not only remembered the orders of the customers without noting them down, she was very skilled when serving as well, what was more because she was a cold face beauty many young men were attracted to her but they did not dare to talk to her and even if they did, Xua Ying Yue did not entertain them.

This solved many of Madam Tian's headaches since Chi Shuyan was used to flirting with the young ones causing a lot of delay in the timely serving of the orders.

Soon time passed by and the afternoon lunch break for the workers arrived, Xua Ying Yue and Xua Yenay who were taking it slowly had to pick up the pace but thanks to Xua Ying Yue who could work efficiently all Xua Yenay needed was to serve the customers on time.

" Your sister is really a genius," Madam Tian who was stir-frying some bamboo shoots and vegetables could not help but praise Xua Ying Yue who was done reciting an entire line of orders for the table one to ten without mixing anything up. " Are you sure that you want to teach her in the community college? She could have gone to the famous college in the S city with her skills."

However as soon as Madam Tian finished speaking she noticed Xua Yenay stiffen beside her, this reaction caught her attention but before she could ask anything, Xua Yenay returned to normal and then smiled at her before saying, " Blame me, I don't have enough money to send my sister to that college Madam Tian, I even got us kicked out of the room where we were staying…" she smiled mockingly and then picked up the plates on the kitchen counter before adding, " If only I was rich then my sister would not have to go through so much."

And among all the lies she told, Madam Tian knew that only the last line was the truth.

Next chap in the morning.
