A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 24

*Kanika Pov*

While walking off towards the people who have a bad opinion about me, I made sure to keep a smile on my face but at the same time regretting the way I talked to him.

Why did I even express myself? Haven't I decided to fight for only important matters? When I already know that for him admonishing any of these people is nothing but an impossible task, then why did I even say those words.

It's not like they are completely wrong as I really married him for money. I really took the easy way out when I found myself in a trouble.

I would have survived somehow even without his presence but because of him, Anitha didn't get into any trouble and I am able to pursue my goal, adding to that I got an extra gift by being able to take the course from Han and also... I shook my head to not go to that point.

The main point is, it doesn't matter what they say or what they think of me because I don't think anything about these people.

However, what matters is the way I am unable to respond and also to smile at them in this way as if nothing is wrong... as if... all this is true.

When some people taunted me asking about my mother that she left us didn't she and also talking about her character, I couldn't say anything back but that is because it is true.

Just like that, I am not able to say anything back while my character is being questioned but this time it is not true.

I wish I was able to say something just like in the past. I thought reaching them and stood there in silence while they all continued to talk and the party just continued normally.

"Again? Why is that Kanika always receiving such huge tip?" I paused near the back door after hearing those words.

"Didn't you see her revealing clothes? How short that skirt is will have an impact on the tip she receives." Another girl said and three of them laughed after that.

"She is such a slut. She keeps on flirting with the customers and also the chef. Did you see how much time they spend together?" I frowned hearing those words and walked out of the building through back door and turned left before staring at them.

"First thing is that I am not wearing revealing clothes or a short skirt. It is because I am taller than you all, my skirt is short even after removing the folds. So, blame your height and not my clothes." I stated while they started fuming.

"Second is that I never flirt with customers but just understand their preference to suggest to them the menu and that is the reason they give me huge tip. So, blame your lack of knowledge on the menu and not my actions."

"Third is that I don't flirt with the chef too but just learn the way of cooking which help me to have a future and also know the menu. So, blame your short-sight about your future and not the chef." I stated and gave them a nod to leave but paused hearing the next words.

"Forth is that you three are fired but because of your gossip about me. So, blame your immaturity for not respecting your boss and not anyone else." I felt surprised hearing those words from the chef who is standing on the right side of the building.

"Also, why did I hire three blind girls to serve in my restaurant? You saw Kanika flirting? This robot girl?" I rolled my eyes at his teasing and turned around to walk back into the building as it doesn't matter to me whether he fired them or not.

I wanted to tell those things not to make them understand or have hope that they will believe but it is my defense. Even after telling the things, if they continue then I can just think of them as invisible people.
