"That's so mean of them.. I'm really sorry Noelle.." Jean said as she sipped her tea. You decided to bring Signora, Noelle and Barbara to the maid café today since they had all wanted to go last night. While you were there you spotted Rosaria and Jean who beckoned you over and now all of you were talking about how Noelle got bullied yesterday."Once this guy told me I had a weird haircut in the seventh grade." Rosaria spoke up randomly.
"Oh.. what did you do?" Noelle asked.
"I punched him in his face."
"So.. nothings changed.."
"Nope."
"I slapped Noelles bully right in her face though! I didn't intend on doing it- it sort of just happened. I apologized after that but then I put her in her place! Then the principle came.." Barbara said as she sadly took a cupcake off the decorative tray.
"What?! I thought you beat her up! And you apologized right after.." Signora said as she glanced at Rosaria who gave her the same confused look.
"I had too! I don't want people at school thinking I just go around hitting people.. I just did it this one time because my best friend was getting bullied and I had to do something! I wanted to.." everyone looked at Barbara and smiled.
"Thank you for doing that for me Barbara. I really did appreciate it!" Noelle said as she hugged the girl.
"At least its all resolved now"
"Yeah but WE were the ones that got suspended!" Barbara said as she sighed.
"Who cares?! At least you can do more work for me now!" Signora said as she cackled but stopped as everyone slightly glared at her. "I'm just joking.. you can hang out with me and Y/n at the warehouse and we can all gossip about her boyfriend.." she said as she looked at Zhongli who was trying to comfort a crying woman.
"Excuse me.." all of you heard as you listened in on them. "Can I get you something to drink? Maybe a lavender tea or lavender cake.. or lavender macaroons-"
"I HATE LAVENDER.. THAT WAS.. THE COLOR OF HIS HAIR!!" The woman yelled at Zhongli and started crying even more. You, Rosaria and Signora all threw your heads back as you laughed- practically screamed!
"You guys! Aw.. that poor lady. Should we go over there and comfort her?" Jean said as she stared at her with a worried look plastered on her face.
"Hell no, what do we look like to you?" Rosaria said as she stopped laughing and stared at Jean in shock.
"Yes! We should definitely go over there!" Noelle said and Barbara shook her head. Soon the three of them got up and walked near the woman. As soon as they went to her, Zhongli walked over to you and sighed.
"I wish I was better at comforting the customers.." he said as he slid his tray on the table. Zhonglis eyes shifted to Rosaria. "Oh.. Y/n, is this your friend?" You nodded your head.
"Yup, this is Rosaria. My other friend is with those two. The tall blond one is Jean and the teenagers are Noelle and Barbara. They work with me." Rosaria didn't know you lied about being rich, neither did Jean so you couldn't blow your cover.
"Ooh.. that's very nice. Hello Rosaria." Zhongli said in a calm and gentle manner.
"Hey." Rosaria said and leaned over to you. "Why does he talk so.. umm.. like that."
"I don't know, but he's really nice so-"
"Wait- did he say he loved you yet?" You tried to remember the last few days you spent together and shook your head.
