"It''s just a name. What''s the big deal? Yvette''s signature is fancy and you''re not cultured enough to understand it." Xanthe scolded mercilessly. The young delivery guy confirmed with Yvette again, "Excuse me, are you Ms Shakira Nelson?" Yvette''s voice caught in her throat as she was about to respond. "Who?"
Xanthe got angry before Yvette could. "You mean these three cakes were ordered for Shakira?" The three delivery men spoke in unison. "Yes, it''s for Shakira. Which one of you is Ms. Shakira?" "It''s me." Shakira was also puzzled. "But I didn''t order any cakes." She took the receipt and saw that her name was indeed on it.
She thought, Who in the world would
I spend money on me like this? Sean? No way, she has to go and scold him. Who in their right mind buys such expensive cakes?"
Xanthe, with her arms crossed, mocked. "You can''t even afford to order one. It costs 60,000 dors each!"
At that moment, another delivery guy came in. "Thirty-two cups of milk shake ordered by Mr. Dakota Ortiz have arrived. Please sign for them."
Everyone looked at the dozens of affordable milk shake, then at the luxurious, high-end 60,000 dors cakes, and felt quite awkward.
Shakira put away the cake receipt, thanked the three delivery guys, and nced at Xanthe "Fine, you can afford it, maybe
should treat everyone to one cake tomorrow.
you
Xanthe was shocked. "What?" Xanthe thought, ''She''s not made of money, and she can''t afford to treat everyone to one!"
Shakira, looking at Yvette''s embarrassed face, with a barely noticeable smile, said to the ss monitor, "Could you please distribute the cakes among everyone? "Uh, sure, thank you, Shakira," said the ss monitor.
"You''re wee," Shakira replied.
Shakira cut a small piece for herself and returned to her seat to savor it slowly.
Everyone snapped back and chose I the 60,000 dors cake over the affordable milk shake silently.
Dakota Ortiz quickly calmed down. "You guys could also try the milk shake."
"Sure, sure, thank you, Dakota," said the ssmates.
Xanthe did not allow Berry White to get that cake. "We''re not eating it, we don''t care about that stupid cake
Berry nced at the beautiful White Swan cake, wanted to say something but stopped, and in the end, didn''t dare to contradict Xanthe.
Although they had yed together since childhood, she didn''t dare to upset Xanthe.
Back at her seat, seeing Shakira still looking at the phone number on the receipt, Xanthe said in a sarcastic tone, "Who in their right mind would send her such an expensive cake, must not on the ball!"
Yvette clenched her fists tigluly, she felt humiliated and disgraced, which was driving her mad.
Her eyes turned red in anger, and she suddenly murmured. "Is it the owner of that Maybach from before?"
"Maybach?" Xanthe thought of something and suddenly shouted, "Oh, someone is really hiding their light under a bushel, being able to buy three 60,000 dors cakes at once, Shakira, who''s the rich old man you''re with?" Shakira kira looked up from the phone number, just as Dakota Ortiz came to her with a cup of milk shake, she took it without hesitation and sshed it all over Xanthe. Xanthe was
Xanthe drenched, sticky and
sweet. She screamed and jumped up. "Shakira, Are you crazy?" "School rule number thirty-eight, be honest, trustworthy, and polite to others. IfAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
If anyone fabricates and spreads false facts that are sufficient to degrade other''s character and reputation, the liar will be dealt with by expulsion."
Shakira looked at her sharply. "I don''t mind taking this to the principal, let''s see who''s going to be crazy in the end." Berry White quietly hinted Xanthe. "Xanthe, let it go, it''s terrible to make a big fuss.
She thought. The principal is well-known for his integrity, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
the stared at Shakira, but for a moment she felt a chill from Shakira''s menacing gaze. She breathed deeply in anger, but said nothing more.
Xanthe Dakota
a Ortiz nced at Xanthe, who was angry but didn''t dare to show it, and said to Shakira, "Next Sunday is my grandmother''s birthday, and I''ll be inviting ssmates to join. Miss Nelson... Shakira, you shoulde too."
He paused, then lowere
lowered his voice and added. "My grandmother has been talking about wanting to meet you."
Shakira walked out with her phone. Thanks for the kind invitation, but I''m not avable that day."
After sshing milk shake on Xanthe, her hands were also stained with sticky syrup, so she went to the restroom to wash up
It was ss
ss time now, so the restroom was not crowded. She turned off the faucet with one hand and dialed the phone number from the receipt she remembered.
As soon as the call connected, without waiting the one who answer it to speak, Shakira let out a barrage. "Spending thousands of dors on three cakes, are you crazy? Or are you ufortable for the money you have? So you must spend every dor you have?" the other end of end of the phone. Shakira a nced at the call timer
There was a long silence on still running on her screen and erupted again. "Say Something! If you buy the cakes, you must have the guts to speak up!"
Finally, Walter replied, his voice icy, "I have the gut to speak up, and then what?"
Shakira was shocked. After a pause, she ended the call abruptly, trembling.
Shak
She thought, ''No way, it''s Sean who ordered the cake, how could it be Walter who answered the phone!! Could it be that
Shakira felt so nervous and redialed.
As soon as the call connected this time, Shakira switched to a sweet voice. "Mr. Walter, Shakiraughed awkwardly. "The three cakes, did you order them?" "Not me." Just as Shakira was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Winston Lopez said, "It was Levi."
Shakiraughed awkwardly again. "So it''s Levi, why on earth would he order cakes for me?" 9190

Winston Lopez replied calmly, "He said you''re being bullied at school, and bribing your ssmates might make things easier for you.
Shakira was speechless, not expecting such a mix-up. "Oh, convey my thanks to Levi, he''s so kind."
She was thinking about how to exin to Winston Lopez, when he asked, "Are those cakes very expensive?"
"Indeed! It It costs 60,000
60,000 dors each, and there are three of them. If he bought ordinary cake with that much money, then I couldn''t eat them out in my lifetime, no, not even in ten lifetimet Quickly trying to make up for it, Shakira tteringly said, "Thank you, Mr. Walter, for caring so much about me, you''ve spent a lot."
All she could hear was a deep, attractive chuckle from the phone
Shakira shivered instinctively, then heard Winston Lopez''s heardless, and unreasonable reply, "No loss for me, whatever was spent will be deducted from your sry." What?" Shakira was shocked. "I have a sry? How much?"
"Three thousand dors a month, and you''ll keep working until it''s paid off."
Three thousand dors a month, wouldn''t she have to work for him for free for more than twenty months thought
Shakira.
"Also,
your shouting just now caused mental trauma on me, along with the following damage on my work will also be deducted from your sry," added Winston Lopez. "No-shouted Shakira
But what answered her was only the beep after the phone was called off.
Walter thought, He could already picture Shakira''s vivid expression of despair on the other end."
A faint smile yed on his lips, disappearing as quickly as it came.
Walter raised his eyes and swept a look around at the stunned executives. "Let''s continue the meeting."
The executives snap out of their imagination and hurriedly tried to focus on the meeting.
But their curiosity was killing them.
They thought, "How could Winston Lopez was still want tough after being scolded by a woman? Goodness, were they still asleep or had Winston Lopez gone mad?
