Chapter 27：Cheap Enemies Against The Most Precious Girl in Hexa

Lia almost cursed when she saw the figure of Prince Aerus which began to fade and went away due to teleportation.  Her patience seemed almost to face a very formidable opponent.  She tried to tell herself that she just needed to hold back a little longer, but somehow it was hard.

"Table number 15. Hoy, hurry up!  Other customers will come and use it."  Zizie's voice swept across Lia's ears, her voice was made cute and would turn nasal when talking to Mr. Sony.

Lia, who was still holding the foam-filled with soap immediately stepped back, throwing the dishwashing foam in a hurry without washing her hands.  She rushed to the exit of the kitchen section, where the sink was placed and would become Lia's best friend for work.

There was a man in charge of cooking in the kitchen, busy with the frying pan.  He didn't have time to glance at Lia, something he often did when he felt pity for her.  Out of the corner of his eye, he only saw the door to the utensil and sink, which was in another room of the kitchen, open.

Lia's fragile and petite figure weakly knocked on the kitchen door, then she walked over to table 15 to pack up all the cutlery for her to take to the kitchen and wash.  Her footsteps staggered because there were still a lot of dishes and cutlery that she needed to wash, and the great thing was that she didn't get any help at all.

She glanced at Zizie, the girl who often found time to relax at work.  In Lia's wide eyes, she hoped a lot that Zizie would help her, just pack up the cutlery and take it to the kitchen.

However, when she saw Zizie who was sitting like a queen and then she smiled seductively at Mr. Sony, Lia knew that her hopes were even more impossible than her hopes regarding Prince Aerus' leaving from her life.  Zizie would never help Lia, even if Lia was dying.

Returning to the sink, Lia moved her hands nimbly to clean all the dirt.  With her breath starting to feel tight due to fatigue, she continued to spur her energy.  Now and then she wiped sweat, then wiped tears that sometimes dropped.  When she felt very tired, crying was something she couldn't avoid.

Suddenly, Prince Aerus appeared beside Lia, sitting on the tile on the side of the sink.  He's like a CEO who wore the wrong costume at work.  His sturdy figure could seize anyone who saw him, it's just that he didn't have the stage to show his charm.  Besides, he wasn't interested either.

The space for the sink and cutlery was not too wide, but not too narrow either.  To be honest Lia could use the sink in the kitchen, a place where a man worked to cook.  It's just that the sink there was broken, and Mr. Sony was still reluctant to call a mechanic to fix it.  So Lia used another sink, which was smaller and also inconvenient.

"Do you have to work that hard?  You'll only be exhausted when you come home from work and you'll neglect your 'duty' as my mate," scolded Prince Aerus, who was backing away because he was disgusted by the utensil that Lia was cleaning.

Silently Lia snorted.  Inwardly she was saying, 'Is just making love the thing he's thinking about?  Can't he see the situation and conditions?  I'm very busy right now.' But as usual, all the things she was thinking would just settle in her brain without her being able to get it out at all.

All she could do was frown while continuing to work non-stop.  While beside her, was sitting a man who was nagging her this and that.  Then Lia would feel so upset that she wanted to explode.

Prince Aerus vanished as the door to the tool room creaked open.  Lia did not have time to check who was entering, because her hands were still busy with work.

Not long after, Zizie appeared with a cigarette between her fingers. She lit the cigarette and inhaled deeply.  The embers could be seen shining on the tip of her sharp nose, which was filled with make-up.

"It's break time.  I didn't come here because I wanted to remind you, but the boss asked me to tell you this.  He says you have to finish all your work first.  After that, you can rest….  if you still have time."  Zizie let out a sly laugh, her body shaking amidst her increasingly explosive laughter.  At the end of her laugh, he coughed from choking on cigarette smoke.  Now her body was shaken, for another reason.  Her face turned red after that.

Zizie squeaked because she didn't get any response from Lia. She would almost even spit if she didn't have common sense.  There was no space to spit as the sink was already filled with dirty plates and glasses.

"Look at you, Lia.  You try to be the best but you never succeed.  You pretend to be diligent but you can never get the attention of Mr. Sony.  Oh, no wonder.  I can see what's on Mr. Sony's mind.

"An old-fashioned and stinky girl.  You don't even have good taste in improving your appearance.  You're not good at taking care of yourself either.  Look at that ugly skin of yours.  Compare this with my supple and dense skin."  Zizie raised her thighs, then pulled the skirt of her uniform up, almost to her groin, and revealed her panties.

Zizie's skin was indeed healthy, Lia didn't deny it because Lia's skin tended to be dry and also a bit pale in color.  But Lia's condition was much better now, and she didn't know why.  But if Zizie said Lia stinks, that's not true at all.  Lia didn't smell bad, it's just that Zizie smelled better than her, and also cheaper.  Oops.

Zizie sucked a cigarette between her fingers, then blew the smoke into Lia's face, causing Lia to be enveloped in white smoke, and then coughed non-stop.  Zizie laughed happily when Lia staggered and beat her chest for still coughing.  This was one show that Zizie loved.

"Oh, you are too hypocritical.  I know you are a cheap girl who has tried this and that."  Zizie pondered for the sake of thinking of something. She seemed to be having a big fight with herself, her face lowered and forgetting the cigarette in her hand.  After a while, she corrected, "Or maybe you're just too innocent a country girl, or you could say you're a girl with no values.

"You never really try many things because you don't have the chance to.  You also never dated, had no friends, had no family.  Aw, did I hurt your heart?"  Zizie walked over to Lia, and then pulled Lia's long hair, causing Lia to wince in between her coughs which became torturous.

Lia jerked Zizie's hand hard, causing Zizie to bounce back slightly in shock.  A second later Zizie rushed to Lia and grabbed Lia's hair again, while her leg kicked Lia's knee so that she fell on the floor with her head up.

"You are a useless country girl.  Your body alone will never even sell anywhere.  I'll bet you're still a virgin.  Why?  Not because you're a nice girl, but because no guy wants to touch you.  They will be disgusted by your body.

"I am very sad to see you, but I am also happy to enjoy your suffering.  It's really unfortunate, you will get a mate for an old farsighted man with myopic eyes.  When he touches you, he won't know how bad your body is.  Or you don't even have a soul mate at all."

Zizie banged Lia's head against the wall, making her groan and feel dizzy.  Lia's eyes had blurred, and she shook her head to get her sight back.

As soon as everything became clear enough, she felt the tug again.  Lia groaned and tried to claw at Zizie to free herself, but she couldn't quite reach Zizie while all her movements were locked due to her body hitting the wall.

"Cheap girl, you better get going before Mr. Sony fires you!"  Zizie almost hit Lia's head against the wall so hard, she would channel all her anger into the palm that was holding Lia's head.

The tug of her fingers was able to make Lia's head look up.  Just as a blow was about to be struck, Zizie's body suddenly bounced back very far, was dragged an impossible distance, and then hit the wall very hard.

Zizie screamed, feeling shocked and gasping.  After a while she ran recklessly to get out of the cafe kitchen, leaving Lia who was standing weakly, and Prince Aerus who was already standing behind Lia.
