The Woman From Hell
Chapter 639

Chapter 639

One of the waitresses cast an unpleasant glance at me and asked, "Wanda, you told us that you were a waitress just like us in the past. How did you become the manager of this shop?"

After a momentary pause, she said, "I really envy you. You don’t have much to do, yet you still receive two paychecks."

Her voice dripped with contempt. Some people joined her and added, "Right, Wanda. Tell us how you did it. Not only are we younger than you but we're prettier as well. If we learn from you, we might be able to get promoted as well."

The waitress who started it all was named Fiona. She was young and pretty. She always seduced men with pretty good backgrounds while working here. Fred was her first goal. She definitely wanted to go against me since Fred and I seemed to be pretty well-acquainted.

I glanced at her without saying anything.

I thought that things would end here, but Fiona did not intend to stop. She spoke to me in a distasteful manner, "What's there to learn? You just need to sleep with men. I heard that women are like wolves in their 30s. It seems like Fred can't escape the grasps of old

women either. The position you got by sleeping with him is really much easier than ours. After all, we had t o work hard to get a job here."

I looked at the few of them. Some of them called me a n old woman, while some of them called me a seductress.

I could not help but think that it was great being young. They could speak their minds without filtering their words. They could hurt others as they wished too.

My gaze landed on the cup of plain water on the table. I got up and walked toward Fiona. I was not angry, but I spoke to her in a cold tone, "Yes, I'm already 30. I'm older than you by four to five years. However, when I was your age, I wasn't as despicable as you."

After a momentary pause, I added, "Back then, I had just entered the workforce as well. It’s much more complicated to approach people in a huge corporation as compared to your jobs now. However, the people in a corporation wouldn't scold others just because they dislike them. They have basic manners.

"Looking at you now, I suddenly think that the upbringing and education that my family provided me with was extremely important. They taught me to chase after those who are doing better than me instead of talking bad about them. Miss Cinny, your upbringing is really... pretty mediocre!"

My words were not harsh, but nobody liked hearing someone else condemn one's upbringing.

After all, Fiona was young and rash. She exploded in a rage at once. She raised her hand and prepared to hit me.

I raised my hand to block her actions. After that, I picked up the cup of water on the table and splashed the water on her small, delicate face.

"Miss Cinny, you'll get your tongue plucked out in hell i f you keep making things up and spreading rumors. Remember to think before you speak in the future."

After speaking, I looked at the time. It was about time t o get off work. I turned around and walked out of the shop.

She shouted in anger, "Wanda Lane! Just wait for it!"

I heard the sound of her breaking down in a fit behind me. I did not pay her any mind. I went home straight away.

Fred had fetched Munchkin back. The kid loved following me around nowadays. Perhaps he was worried that I would fall sick again after I fainted previously.

During dinner, Fred suddenly looked at me and said," A developer from Whaldorf will be coming over to our restaurant for a meal tomorrow. You might need to welcome him and arrange his schedule in Zenon for the next few days. Something has happened to our shop. According to the higher-ups, this developer will be taking over our shop."

I was momentarily dazed. I asked in confusion, "Why i s a developer taking over a restaurant?"

He chuckled lightly and said, "The land around our restaurant is all barren and empty. These developers don't have their focus on the shop. They intend to create plans to develop the area around the shop. Zenon has been developing well these two years.

There are a lot of natural sceneries and we get plenty o f visitors here. It has the potential to be developed into a tourist city in one or two years."

He was right. Zenon was not a huge city, but it had plenty of beautiful natural sceneries. During spring, the entire provincial city would be filled with flowers. This seemingly boring and small city would look like i t was surrounded by a sea of flowers.

Besides, there was a considerable number of natural sceneries nearby this small city. The ocean was nearby as well. More and more people from the city wanted to live in a small city with a good environment after their retirement. Zenon was truly a good choice.
