Hotel's Human Helping Hand (Various x OC)

《 Chapter 39: A Whisper from Hell 》

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!" Vaggie screeched at Damari, who's sitting on a chair with her head low in shame.

Charlie tried to calm her down by pulling her back to prevent Vaggie from manhandling Damari or shaking her. She is just as upset and disappointed as Vaggie. Damari had a courage to confess to them along with everyone else that she's working for the Vees, but she still owns her soul. It doesn't help for a fact that she kept a secret from them. Niffty was neutral as ever, but she was eager to know if anything juicy happens and if the bad boys did something to her, which Damari denied that and she was very clear about the sexual stuff. Alastor was silent as he knew thar from the very beginning. Cherri Bomb was disappointed in Damari from hearing the truth as soon as Angel called her to come over. Angel and Husk are eating popcorn as they watch this scene goes in amusement. Jeff, KeeKee, Charlotte, Fat Nuggets, and Frank silently watch them talk.

"I know. I should've told you guys before I make a choice. But I'm still okay." Damari said, trying to assure them.

"That doesn't help for a fact that you're working for the Vees!! Do you know how bad that is?!!" Vaggie exclaimed.

"I know..."

"As much as I'm just disappointed as you are, at least she's being honest now and finally opening up to us. Just... don't ever do something reckless like that ever again, Damari. We still want to help you." Charlie said softly.

"I know. I promise." Damari said.

Vaggie sighed in defeat, knowing she can't stay mad at her.

"Okay. At least, you told us. But now we have to make ground rules. When you're done working at the Vees tower, always come back here in this hotel. No late night works, no extra hours, and always say no if they ask you something for you to stay back. Always. Come. Back. Here. Straight up." Vaggie said, glaring daggers at Damari.

Damari gulped and nodded rapidly.

"Understood."

"Good. Angel. Since you're working there, make sure she actually leaves work." Vaggie said, looking at Angel.

Angel popped a popcorn into his mouth and snapped his fingers.

"Gotcha!"

Vaggie nodded and turned to Charlie.

"Charlie, you got some announcement you want to say to them?"

Charlie immediately gets excited.

"Today's activity is... Decade Day!!" she said before clapping her hands.

Damari froze in shock when she heard those words. There is no way she's going to do that.

"Um... actually. I'm pretty tired. You guys can do that without me." she said with a fake yawn.

Charlie beamed with excitement, oblivious to Damari's attempt at avoiding the event. "Oh, come on, Damari! It'll be fun! Decade Day is all about dressing up in clothes from different eras and having a good time!" She gave Damari an encouraging grin, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

Vaggie, still somewhat irritated, crossed her arms but softened a bit upon seeing Charlie's excitement. "Yeah, it'll help take your mind off things. Plus, it might be good for you to just... relax."

Damari's eyes darted nervously around the room. She couldn't escape the overwhelming pressure now. "I don't know... I'm not really into dressing up." She glanced at Angel, hoping he'd back her up.

Angel, still munching on popcorn, leaned back in his chair and shrugged nonchalantly. "I mean, if she's tired, she's tired. No need to drag her into this, right?" He gave Damari a wink, clearly enjoying the spectacle unfolding.
