The Big Reveal

'I-Is that really Rey…?'

Alicia's stunned expression as she stared at the aggressive scowl on Rey's face was downright obvious.

She couldn't hide it anymore.

"GET UP! DON'T TRY TO PLAY THE VICTIM ANYMO—!"

"That's enough!" Alicia yelled out, a glare now imprinted deep into her face.

"A-ah, Alicia, don't mind me. I'm just telling this—"

"Save it. I don't want to hear anything from you…" Alicia raised her hand and walked past Rey, completely ignoring his lame excuse for a reason.

She walked towards the waitress and knelt beside her, holding two of her trembling hands.

"It's fine, don't worry. I'm not mad at you."

The lady seemed immensely surprised by Alicia's kindness, and even Rey appeared stunned from behind her.

Alicia no longer had any business with him, though.

"Please stand up."

She helped the waitress up, and after they both rose to their feet, she nodded and smiled even more broadly.
