Chapter 054

I helped Sister Jessie to get up and I notice that her whole dress was wet. I clenched my hand in anger. "So, you're the owner of this shop?" Liezel asked and she even raised an eyebrow at me. "Why don't you even teach your staff proper manners and proper etiquette? Too weak and clumsy, didn't you see what she did to me?" she added. The drinks just covered her foot and then she reacted immediately. "Sister didn't do anything, blame your friend because she tripped you that's why it is thrown on you," Sam said while pointing at Rachelle. "Shut up! You have no proof so shut up there," Rachelle said angrily. "Sister Jessie, I'll take care of this, just get dressed first before you'll get sick," I said and turned to Sister Jessie who was now crying. "I'm sorry Ms. Vienna." I just tapped her on the shoulder and smiled. After she left, I suddenly sighed. I don't want to make a mess here, she's a customer so I have to understand her. "I'm the one who apologizes for whatever my employee did to you. And you don't even have to pay for everything you ordered," I said but she suddenly laughed. I'm not surprised, this woman is crazy. "You're funny Vienna, I don't expect you to apologize for the fault of your employee. Don't worry I will pay the bill, it's embarrassing for you and maybe your shop will go bankrupt. Anyways, for me to fully accept your sorry, please wipe my feet because of what your employee did." I no longer hesitated to pick up the tissue she handed me. I want this to end so they can leave my shop. I don't want to do this but I will be forced to do it, I don't care if they will laugh at me. "Don't do that Vienna." I stopped when I heard Sebastian's voice. I looked at him, his forehead furrowed and he was obviously angry. He approached in my direction and immediately took the tissue I was holding. He suddenly threw it at Liezel's face which surprised us all in here. "Do you have any right to command Vienna? Can't you do that alone? Your friend was at fault, why isn't she will do it? How much are your shoes? Can that buy a person's dignity?" Sebastian said seriously. I just kept quiet and so did the others who heard. "Up to this point, Sebastian, you're still on Vienna's side?! And what do you care if I command her?! I'm a customer here, why aren't you on my side?" Liezel's angrily said. "I take side with the right, I hate people with a bad attitude and no respect for others. Now leave or maybe you want me to order the guard to drag you out," said Sebastian. "I hate all of you, most especially you, Vienna. You have a day with me, just wait." Then, they leave. I'm not afraid of her threats, I can fight her but I don't want to get into trouble. By the time she hits me, I won't hesitate to fight her. I got home at exactly 7 pm and my body felt like it had been beaten. After what happened in the shop earlier, everything is back to normal. I thank Sebastian because, for the second time, he helped me again against Liezel. When I entered the house, I immediately went to my room. I sat on the bed and looked around my room. Even though I only stayed at the orphanage for four days, I suddenly missed my room there. I suddenly remembered the teddy bear that Sebastian gave me. I took it out of the paper bag and stared at it. I had it before but I can't remember who gave it and where it is now. I have to find it, I'm sure it's just here at home. I immediately got up and was about to go to the bathroom when I suddenly stopped. There's something that I can see coming from my brain. "And this is for you when at the time you miss me, you have something with you and you can hug it while sleeping." "You're cheesy, but thank you. You're spoiling me with gifts, I might miss that." "Of course I love you." "I love you too, Martin." I slowly sat down on the floor, I was the girl but the guy's face was not clear. My whole body becomes weak and my hand was cold. Martin, who I was finding when I woke up from a coma was possibly the man I loved then. I held my head and couldn't stop myself from striking it. Therese was right, she was right that I had loved someone before. What should I do? How can I know him? How can I tell him everything? What if he can't forgive me for leaving him? I went downstairs after I got dressed, I won't tell mom what happened earlier. When I know everything I will talk to them. I want everything to be clear to me and I want to know it from them. "Sweetie, please sit down," mom said when she saw me. I just sat down and got some food. I also started eating but I honestly had no appetite. I was just forced to be with them so I could talk to mom about Billy's adoption. "I have something to say," I said after a few minutes of silence. "What's that Vienna? We'll listen," Brother Vince replied. "I filed adoption papers for Billy, I will adopt him. I just want to get back all the things he helped me with before and I want him to recover from his illness. But I can't have him without your help, maybe the court will only decline if I am Billy's guardian," I said. I noticed that they were surprised by what I said, I knew it would happen. But no matter what they say, my decision will not change. "I'm not against that, it's better and happier when there's a kid here at home. I have someone to play with or be with every time I'm not in school. I'm not against that Vienna, where you're happy, I'm there too," Brother Vince said while smiling. "Vienna, dear.. you know-" "I will respect your decision but I will still make a way for Billy to be with me," I interrupted my mom. I was right, she was against what I wanted. "Okay Vienna, I'll do what you want. I and Lucas will be Billy's guardians," mom said suddenly. And I think she was just forced but that's better than her saying no. "Thank you, that's all I want to ask you. Don't worry, I won't ask you for money for his treatment. I'll take care of everything. Um... I'm done eating, I'm going to my room, excuse me," I replied and stood up. When I entered my room, I immediately called Uncle Joey. Fortunately, he answered, and I smiled. "Good evening, Uncle Joey," I greeted. (Good evening Vienna, why did you call me?) "I just want to let you know that Mom agreed to the adoption. She and Uncle Lucas will be Billy's guardians." (That's good news, Billy's adoption will be easier and I'm sure you'll be with him by next week. Just tell your mom that I need to talk to her about it) "Yes Uncle, I'll tell her." (Good, don't worry Vienna I'll do everything so no need to worry, okay? I'll hang up this call, bye Vienna) "Bye Uncle, thank you." I smiled after my uncle dropped the call. I only think of a few problems and I can't wait to be with Billy in the same house.
