"Ah," their burgeoning excitement came to an abrupt halt, and they frowned deeply at Xena's words.Even though they harbored strong resentment towards Xena for spoiling their mood, they had to acknowledge that what he said wasn't entirely wrong. The headphones weren't meant for any of them, so their excessive excitement was misplaced.“Why are you such a mood spoiler?!” Chandler glared at the smiling Xena with irritation.Xena feigned innocence as he simply responded, “I don't know what you mean. I'm only simply reminding you all,” ignoring the glares from the others too.“I can see you're simply reminding us,” Chandler said sarcastically.Xena coughed, acting as though he didn't catch the sarcasm. “Yes, yes, I was only simply reminding you guys,” he awkwardly muttered."Forget about Xena spoiling our mood. What he said isn't entirely bad. This expensive headphone isn't ours, so how exactly do we own it?” The confusion on Chris's face wasn't hidden.He had been so excited when he spot
He already knew that the manager was playfully teasing him with his feigned angry voice. That has always been the way he operates.The manager at block 4D was one of the few managers who treated him well. He would only work in the manager's restaurant from 4 pm after school till 7 pm or 8 pm at night before going to his other part-time jobs.“You called me for a reason, right?” Nolan went straight to the point. “You wouldn't be calling early this morning if there's no issue.” He knew the manager never called any of his workers in such an impromptu way.A sigh escaped from the other side of the call. “You're right, Nolan. I'm about to open the restaurant for the day, but three workers haven't arrived yet. The only one present in the restaurant currently is just me and one worker.” He paused to catch his breath before continuing.“I really am anxious because if the customers start walking into the restaurant and can't find workers to serve them, they will surely leave a bad review for t
At the pinnacle of the restaurant, there was a signboard displaying the name of the establishment, "Delicious Good Restaurant!"In this vicinity, restaurants offering delectable cuisine were among the most frequented. Their food was exceptional, prompting people to revisit the restaurant.As Nolan made his way into the restaurant, he spotted the manager and another employee."Good day, manager. I'm already here," Nolan announced as he approached them.Upon hearing Nolan's voice, the manager ceased his activities and turned towards him."Hey Nolan, you're already here.""Yes," Nolan nodded briefly."Alright. Follow me to the kitchen, and then serve the customers whatever food they need," the manager instructed Nolan cautiously."And you," he addressed the worker cleaning the table, with a stern tone. "Ensure you clean all the tables and clear any dirty dishes from the customers' tables. Is that clear?""Yes, manager," the worker in the Delicious Food Restaurants uniform mumbled before
The two of them stared intensely at each other, locked in a silent battle of emotions. "Are you really going to bring this up here at the restaurant?" Nolan asked, feeling a surge of irritation. Felix snorted coldly, dismissing any concern. "And so what? Why can't I bring the issue up here? I don't care whether you get fired because of this chaos, but I'll say whatever is on my mind!" He refused to leave without venting his anger. Rolling his eyes, Nolan responded indifferently, "Then spill out whatever is on your mind. How is that my business?" Felix clenched his fists in anger. "Of course, I will," he nodded. "Like I said earlier, do you think I would forget what you did to me then?" He reiterated the question. Nolan's face darkened once more, as if he had recalled something unpleasant. "I don't care if you forget or not. It's your mind, so don't forget if you don't wish to," he seethed, gritting his teeth. Pausing briefly, he continued, "In fact, why are you telling me that yo
When the news regarding Tina's comments about Felix began to circulate, Felix's followers took deliberate measures to ensure that Felix was informed, hoping it would help him gain clarity and move on from Tina. However, the outcome turned out to be contrary to their expectations.Felix, upon learning about the rumors, reacted with a fiery response, vehemently disagreeing with the circulating gossip. He asserted that unless Tina directly conveyed such sentiments to him, he would not entertain the notion that she had labeled him as clingy.A collective sigh of disappointment echoed through the onlookers as they witnessed the mockery directed at Felix.Nolan, in response, couldn't restrain a snarl and, with an air of nonchalance, stated, “Even if you shout your lungs out from now until tomorrow, the truth will always be bitter.”Felix, fueled by bitterness, vociferously accused Nolan of attempting to conceal a supposed romantic relationship with Tina. He claimed that Nolan had taken Tina
The manager carefully suppressed mild surprise look before inquiring, "Nolan, what exactly transpired?" Despite Felix's accusations against Nolan, the manager found it necessary to hear Nolan's version of events.Nolan experienced a comforting warmth in his heart. The fatigue and exhaustion dissipated, replaced by joy that the manager had opted to address the issue rather than resorting to immediate punishment or reproach.“This is what happened…” Without bothering with formalities, Nolan summarized every detail since Felix's arrival, leaving nothing concealed or omitted."Oh, so that's the situation," the manager exclaimed in understanding. When Felix had reported Nolan, be didn't believe him at all, so after hearing Nolan explaination he was relieved.The respectful and familiar smile previously extended to Felix quickly transformed into displeasure. In a distant tone, the manager addressed Felix, now using the formal "sir."Taken aback, Felix noticed the manager's swift change in
Nolan found himself compelled to shift away from the obscurity of the dark side and traverse towards the comforting glow of the streetlight, allowing his vision to unravel the identity of the approaching figure.“Aha!” escaped his lips as he caught sight of the person. A surprised expression etched across his face, he inquired, "What brings you here?" His eyes reflected astonishment.Recognizing the speaker as Edmond, Nolan simulated a disapproving and stern countenance. “You better be cautious not to mistake me for someone else in the future!” He extended his hand in a gesture of warning. “By the way, what prompts your presence at this hour? Shouldn't you be in your hostel room?” Confusion marked his inquiry.Being aware of Edmond's lack of engagement in part-time work, Nolan pondered the purpose of his friend's nocturnal excursion.Edmond's demeanor underwent a sudden transformation; his fingers fidgeted nervously, and his expression hinted at concealed information. “What's the matt
As anticipated, the three friends found themselves involuntarily panicking."Fine, fine, we won't spread anything. Can you just sit down and quit with the threats?" they grumbled, wearing expressions of irritation.Nolan's interference had spoiled their enjoyment, and Freddie, in particular, displayed his displeasure by stomping his feet like an agitated kitten."That works for me," Nolan said with a slight smile, retaking his seat.He resumed his earlier posture, crossing his legs with a composed and serene demeanor. The quartet delved into various discussions, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they chatted animatedly. Amidst their conversation, Freddie's eyes widened, and he flashed a bright smile.Turning to Nolan, he asked, "Nolan, I hope you haven't forgotten, huh?"Nolan, puzzled, responded, "Forgotten what? I don't understand."Freddie slapped his own head, gazing at Nolan as if he were dealing with a complete fool. "Your memory is quite something. Have you really forgott
