Chương 11: A slave and not a worker

The four groups of guys that had gathered themselves together in the cafe were the same people Daphne saw in the mansion Kian was working in. Daphne found it weird that people like them were Interested in coming to Mr Mateo's little cafe.

Kian took out their orders. Daphne secretly kept an eye on him. He demanded that he was going to be the only one who served them. Mr Mateo didn't complain about his request, rather he encouraged everyone to listen to Kian. Kian stood at a side even though the guys already had their drink and their snacks. Kian kept waiting on them, for anything else they wanted. Daphne doubted that they would want more since they already had enough on their plate.

Daphne understood that Kian worked for them, but she didn't know why he was going to such lengths to please them. His behavior was almost as though he was a slave and not a worker.

'maybe Kian was the sort of man who cared for money more than women.' Daphne thought. The only reason she could think of was 'A salary increase.' it was the only way she could understand the special treatment, Kian was giving to the guys even though they looked ordinary as though there was nothing special about them. Although they were one of them who was quieter than the rest. He was very handsome and had an air around him that radiated power.

An idea came to Daphne. Although she might no longer be as rich as she used to be, she could help Kian out. If money was what he was after, then she was going to help him in removing the dirty dishes. The guys were done eating their snacks. They were talking among themselves while taking a little sip of their drink.

Kian held Daphne's wrist as she was about to remove a plate from the table. "What do you think you are doing?" He yelled at her with a low voice.

Daphne was startled by his reaction. He was supposed to be grateful. But he wasn't. She remembers the time he was cleaning the restaurant alone, back then when she helped him together with Esther, he wasn't thankful either. He was angry. It made her wonder why Kian was always angry.

"Can't you see that I'm trying to help?" Daphne gave a little smile to the guys whose attention was now on her. All thanks to Kian obnoxious reaction. Daphne still didn't know how she was going to get Kian to like her when all he did was get angry at everything she did for him.

"I didn't ask for your help. I don't want you here. Go away."

"Why do you keep acting like a jerk?" Daphne ask.

"Why won't you listen to me and leave me alone? You are so annoying."

"Kian that's not how to talk to a lady. Not like I expect someone like you to know how." Jace said. His friends Dominic, Chase, and Finn snicker among themselves.

"Hey, I thought you said that we are not doing that here. You know Mr Mateo doesn't like it." Finn said with a wild smile on his face that showed that he didn't care about what his friend was doing.

"I didn't plan on doing anything. But just look at his arrogance and the way he's treating a beautiful lady like her." Jace said, "How about we teach him a little lesson for you?" Jace asks Daphne. He had a flirty smile on his face that Daphne thought was disgusting.

Daphne smiled kindly at Jace. She and Kian had a little argument, but Jace was taking it as something else. "It's okay. I don't mind. The only reason he's acting like this with me is because I asked him out, although he rejected me."

The smile on Jace's face was wiped off immediately.

"Woah," Finn said. Breaking the silence Daphne created. "Why would someone like you want to go out with Kian?" He gave a little laugh at the idea of Daphne dating Kian. "Did he do something to you or do you just generally have a bad taste for men?"

'bad taste for men?' Daphne thought in annoyance. Kian had a bad attitude, but his grumpy face was more pleasant to look at than the one who suggested that Daphne had a bad taste for men. Daphne holds her innocent little smile in place. She wanted to tell Finn that the only bad taste around was his face. It was enough to make her lose her appetite for a day.

"He didn't accept her offer. At least he knows his place." Jace softly held Daphne's hand, "If you want a boyfriend, I can go out with you. I have a lot of dating experience, so what do you say?"

"Jace," Dominic called out with authority in his voice. "It's forbidden to mess with an outsider. It hadn't even been up to a year since she moved into Rays city. You know the rules."

"I'm sorry Dominic." Jace left Daphne's hand immediately. His voice was filled with respect for Dominic.

Daphne's eyes went to Dominic who was looking at her with interest. She had seen him once, when she was spying on Kian, back then she had almost mistaken him to be Noah. Daphne had never had a personal encounter with him before.

'how does he know how long I have been here?' Daphne thought as she kept her eyes on Dominic. Her newfound curiosity for Dominic made her suspicious of him. Maybe she made the mistake of feeling too relaxed in Ray City because she hadn't seen any of Noah's underdogs.

"I wonder what Tessa is going to think once she hears of this." Chase snickers to himself.

Kian angrily drags Daphne to the kitchen. "Please let me have a moment with her," Kian said to Nyla who nodded in understanding and left the kitchen.

"Is something wrong between you and those guys? Are you owing them money?" Daphne asks because Kian looks embarrassed.

Kian paced around the kitchen, trying to control his anger. His actions prove to Daphne that there was something about him she still didn't know even though she had spent so much time stalking him.

"I. Am. Never. Going out with you." Kian said. He was about to step out of the kitchen but stopped, "don't you dare go back to that table again. I don't need any help from you or anyone else."
