"TING!" The sound of the cafe's doorbell indicated the entrance of a customer.
"Welcome." Daisy greeted.
"Americano 1," the man said.
"Alright, Americano 1. I apologize, sir, but would you like any additional add-ons like dessert? We have a variety of desserts to accompany your americano for a sweeter taste," Daisy said, typing away on the cash register.
The man stared at Daisy, a beautiful girl with her hair in a ponytail, wearing the cafe uniform, looking feminine.
"Sure. Pick the sweetest one," the man said.
"Alright, sir, I will bring your order. Please wait a moment, sir." Daisy then looked at the customer with a smile.
"TING!" The doorbell rang again.
"Welcome..." Daisy greeted.
"Mr. Dereck, you need to come back. Mr. Benjove Haghwer will be having a Zoom meeting with you soon to discuss his hotel project that will be built in City S. A beautiful woman in work clothes arrived.
"I'm still waiting for my Americano, and the dessert," Dereck said.
"I will bring them, sir."
Dereck glanced at Daisy who was still busy preparing the order. In his heart, he felt a spark of attraction seeing how beautiful the girl he just met was.
In his journey through life until now, traveling to different countries, it was the first time Dereck had encountered such an energetic and pure-looking girl.
Daisy's fair and smooth skin, with her slender neck exposed, made Dereck glance at her several times.
Daisy's slender body, innocent and beautiful face, was a perfect combination.
Although Daisy was without makeup, Dereck admired her beauty.
"Alright. Take them to the Casey Hotel," Dereck said.
Then Dereck left the cafe.
After a while, Daisy finished preparing the order.
"I will bring them, that was my boss," Casey said.
"Oh... Alright. Thank you," Daisy said politely.
"But, is this dessert also part of the order?"
"Yes, it's already paid for," Daisy said.
"Strange, usually Mr. Dereck doesn't like sweet food," said Casey, wondering, as she walked away and left the cafe with a questioning expression on her face.
Time flew quickly, and the cafe was quite empty today. Usually, the cafe would be bustling with office workers or students, but perhaps today people were busy with their work and students were busy preparing for exams.
Daisy was packing up to go home when Brian tapped her shoulder.
"Can I give you a ride?" Brian asked.
Daisy shook her head confidently and smiled.
"I'm really disappointed, you always reject me."
"I don't want Ansella to keep misunderstanding me."
Brian nodded.
"Alright. Take care," Brian said.
Daisy nodded.
When Daisy boarded the bus, Brian's phone vibrated. He looked at who was calling and his facial expression turned visibly annoyed.
"Yes. Where?" Brian asked.
"Okay, I'll be there," Brian said.
Then Brian put on his full-face helmet and started riding his sports bike to where the caller was.
It didn't take long for Brian to arrive at a well-known bar.
Brian entered and looked for the person who had been waiting for him. After seeing his target, Brian approached and tapped the glass bar table with his finger.
"Briiiannnn... I knew you would come," Ansella said with a smile.
Then Ansella poured beer into a glass and handed it to Brian, then patted the seat next to her, giving a signal for Brian to sit next to her.
"I didn't come to drink," Brian said.
Ansella made a questioning expression.
"I told you, never hurt Daisy again. She's never been at fault for my rejection of you. I've told you multiple times that I'm not interested in you and never involve Daisy again in your rejected feelings," Brian stared intently at Ansella, surprised, as he started bombarding her without warning.
Ansella swallowed her saliva, tears streaming down her face, quickly wiping them away.
"Okay... I understand, but... Why does it have to be Daisy?" Ansella said.
"Why Daisy? I also don't know, but my heart belongs only to Daisy." Brian said.
Ansella held back her tears, trying not to let them flood her cheeks. She then quickly drank her beer and slammed the glass down.
"CRASH!!!"
"I assume you understand, and never disturb Daisy again!" Brian said as he walked away, leaving Ansella fuming with anger.
Alone in her seat, Ansella clenched her glass tightly.
"You're wrong Brian, the more you protect Ansella, the more I will torment her. And if necessary, I will kill her. If I can't have you, neither can Daisy." Ansella said.
Finally, late at night, Ansella stumbled drunkenly back home. She continued to insult and berate Daisy, her state of mind completely chaotic.
"Damn you, Daisy!"
"Stupid Daisy!"
"Daisy... Daisy... Daisy... I'm sick of that name!"
"Just wait until I come home, I'll finish you!"
"CRASH!!!" Ansella slammed the door and staggered towards Daisy's room.
"CRASH!!!" The forcefully opened door created a loud noise, startling Daisy who had just fallen asleep.
"What's wrong with you?" Daisy asked.
"You bastard!!!" Ansella yelled and growled before running and leaping onto Daisy's bed.
Ansella choked Daisy with great force.
"An... An... Ansella..." Daisy couldn't say anything, she couldn't scream for help.
"Die!!!"
"I'll kill you, Daisy!!!"
Ansella screamed and continued to strangle Daisy with all her might.
Sensing the commotion, Samantha woke up and checked what was happening. Seeing Ansella choking Daisy, Samantha immediately intervened to separate her daughter.
"Ansella... Ansella... What are you doing..." Samantha said, worried that Daisy would lose her life.
However, for Samantha, the worry was not about losing Daisy, but about Ansella going to jail if Daisy died.
"Mommy!!!" Ansella stopped choking Daisy and hugged her mother.
"Cough!!! Cough!!! Cough!!!" Daisy held her throat, coughing and gasping for breath, taking long, deep breaths.
"Mommy... Brian rejected me again... He said he hates me because I'm always harsh to Daisy. It must be Daisy who complained to Brian, and now Brian hates me, Mommy... I'm so angry... You know, Mommy... I've loved Brian since I first saw him at school..." Ansella cried and whined in her mother's embrace.
Then Samantha looked at Daisy with a demonic gaze.
"You... You... Always causing trouble, huh!! You always make people hate Ansella!! You always act weak so that everyone pities you, right!! You don't know how it feels to struggle to raise a child who didn't come from my womb!!! You should have some self-awareness, Daisy!!! Who has been feeding you and raising you?!" Samantha glared at Daisy.
"I'm not just eating and sleeping like a pig! Laundry is still running because I'm the one doing it, and the money goes into your pocket." Daisy said.
"What did you say!? Ansella, go to your room. Let me give this self-absorbed child a valuable lesson!" Samantha said.
"Okay, Mom..." Ansella then left Daisy's room.
Meanwhile, Samantha picked up her broomstick from the living room and brought it into Daisy's room.
