{Sweet meal restaurant}
"I said, 'Where is the manager?' Levi Barked
'Sir, sir, sir, I am here, sir,' the manager replied in a shaky voice as he pushed through the crowd who were watching the drama.
'What kind of employee do you hire here, for goodness' sake?' Levi thundered at the manager.
'Sorry, sir, you don't have to worry too much. I will deal with her myself. You can take your friend. Please, sir, spear this restaurant, sir,' the manager said in a shaky tone, aware of the capabilities of the rich kids.
'But no.... no but leave them be and follow me to my office now,' the manager interrupted Hazel before she could say anything.
After the two friends left with their unconscious friend, Hazel went straight to the manager's office.
{Manager's office}
I am here, sir,' Hazel said as she entered the manager's office.
'You are fired,' the manager said immediately after Hazel finished her statement.
'Okay,' Hazel replied. 'But have you thought about it?'
'Yeah, I have thought about it,' the manager replied.
'Are you sure you do not want to rethink?' Hazel asked.
'Yeah, I'm sure,' he replied again.
'Okay, then, but you are leaving immediately, I walk out of this restaurant door,' Hazel replied with a smirk.
'Hey, wait, what do you mean?' the manager asked curiously.
'I had a reason for sacking you, but you are threatening me with what?' he added in a pissed tone.
'Hey, wait, baldy, don't get mad, don't get mad yet, and just let me show you something,' Hazel said as she brought out her phone from her pocket.
'See, a little gift I prepared for you,' she added as she showed him a video of him harassing female workers and a picture of him without his wig.
'You know what will happen if the boss sees this video, and if those old folks who have a crush on a body like you see this photo on social media, and you know the police will take action if they see this on social media,' Hazel said with a smirk.
'And you know what the boss will do if she finds out,' Hazel added, heading towards the door.
'Wait, wait, don't go yet,' the manager said, stopping Hazel.
'But I am already fired,' Hazel replied with a smirk.
'No, no, no, no, you are not fired. Can you... can you still keep working here, but do not release those videos and pics on social media?' the manager replied in a hurry.
'I won't, if you stop harassing the waitresses here,' Hazel replied.
'Yeah, yeah, yeah, I won't, just please do not release those,' he replied immediately.
'Okay, then, see you next weekend, and make sure to increase my pay. Hate you, bye,' Hazel replied with a wink before leaving for home.
By the time Hazel got home, she was already so tired that she didn't even freshen up, because as soon as her body landed on her bed, she slept off.
When Emily came back home, she went to check on Hazel's daughter, and before leaving for her own room...
{Next morning}
Hazel was awakened by her mother's angry voice from outside her room. "Hazel, wake up! It's Monday morning. Do you want to be late on your first day in a new school? And you know you're on scholarship," Emily nagged. "Can't you just change a little? You sleepyhead. If nobody wakes you up, you'd surely sleep through the whole day. Can't you just change?" Emily added, hitting the door to Hazel's room.
"I'm awake, Mom. And about the changing thing, I'm never going to change as long as you're here with me," Hazel said, opening the door to her room.
"That's impossible dear, "I won't always be here. I... I would be gone one day," Emily wanted to say to her daughter, but she couldn't.
"Hey, Mama, what are you thinking?"Hazel asked.
"Nothing, there. Go freshen up and come down for breakfast," Emily replied.
"Okay, Mom," Hazel replied before shutting the door to her room.
{Torrence Residence}
Kenzie was seen climbing down the stairs. "Morning, Mommy!" Kenzie greeted.
"Morning, son," Hailey replied.
"Am I too small for you to see or greet me?" Liam asked, a bit mugged.
"Hey, mind your tone and don't forget he's your son, and he took after your personality. So don't scold him, you don't have the right to do so," Hailey said to Liam.
"Yeah, old man, you don't have the right," Kenzie said with a smirk.
"Oh really? Seems I need to reduce your weekly allowance from two million to one million," Liam replied with a smirk.
"You dare not!" Hailey said.
"You old man, I was just joking with you, and you know it. Don't reduce my weekly allowance. You can only increase it to four million weekly, please," Kenzi replied.
"Yeah, you're not allowed to reduce his weekly allowance, you are only allowed to increase from two million to four million or even more," Hailey said.
"Do you really think I'll do what you just said? I can only increase his weekly allowance if he stops calling me an old man. I'm still in my forties, for Christ's sake," Liam said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll stop calling you an old man," Kenzie replied.
"Son, I'm also gonna increase your weekly allowance from three million to five million. I prefer, if I prefer it if the allowance I'm giving you to be much more than your father's own," Ailey said.
"Thanks, Mommy, I love you," Kenzi replied, hugging his mom.
"Oh wow, my allowance is now nine million a week. Thank goodness, I'm so lucky," Kenzie thought.
"I heard from the guard that you bought a new sport car," Liam asked.
"Yes, and I'm driving it to school today. Bye," Kenzi replied before leaving for school.
"That boy can never change," Liam said.
"He can, and it's only possible if she's found," Hailey replied.
"Yeah, you are right," Liam replied.
