Do You Know About The Plan?

Soon after Hayashi Sakura left them to go to work, Watanabe Rin puts on an innocent face and eyed her fellow members of the book club. She doesn't even want to be part of their boring club in the first place yet she has no choice either.

If she wants to be close to Mori Ken, Rin knows she has to endure being with these boring losers!

"What's up with Hayashi-san? I've only asked about her job yet she seemed so defensive about it, right? It's not like she's lying about it…. Isn't she?" Watanabe Rin purposely asked to stir confusion and curiosity among all these naive people.

Nakano Yuna clenched her fist and glared in Rin's direction, "Did you know that asking things to a person such as her job, for instance, is rude? And yet you still did it?"

When Rin failed to respond on time, Yuna added, making sure to smirk in front of her triumphantly. "Oh, that's right, I almost forgot. You don't have manners at all."

Snickering inside her heart, Rin contained her anger and shut her eyes for a second before turning her back on her and headed back to her cronies.

Just you wait, you stupid b*tch! I will have my sweet revenge against you!

Yuna watched her go with a delighted smile curled up on the corner of her lips. Yes, that's right, girl. Keep your mouth shut and run back to your ugly friends for comfort!

*Bzzt! Bzzt!!*

Suddenly, Nakano Yuna felt her cell phone from her skirt pocket vibrate which immediately caught her attention. Nonchalantly, she picks up her phone inside her pocket and a group chat notification was the first thing she sees on her phone screen.

Right after they shared their contact information with one another in Sakura's apartment the other day, Yuna made a group chat with only Hayashi Sakura, Mori Ken, Tanaka Ryo, Yamaguchi Alan, and herself as the members aside from the official club group chat that they had.

Yuna's nonchalant stare became intense almost in an instant as soon as she saw the picture and the message that Tanaka Ryo had sent over in their private group chat.

Why that stupid punk! So this is what he planned for their get-together?! By bringing them all to her favorite manga store just to get back at her?!

The caption under the picture states: Wish you were here. With an emoji that's sticking its tongue out.

At lightning speed, Yuna typed these words: GO TO HELL, YOU MORON! before shutting the phone screen and placed it back in her pocket.

Nakano Yuna still has that aggravated look on her face by the time she and her group started to make their way towards the restaurant where they're supposed to grab food.

From the time they're introduced to each other as some pair arranged by their parents until now, that guy sure never fails to annoy me!

Meanwhile, Hayashi Sakura did her best to be really cautious of her surroundings as she headed towards the train station to get to her work. Since that mean girl Watanabe Rin is being curious about her job earlier, she can't help but feel a little bit anxious about it.

Luckily for her though, she arrived at the cafe undetected by her or by her cronies. The last thing that she wants to happen is for that girl to find out about her secret work. If that happens, who knows what that girl would do about the information afterward!

Sakura shuddered at the mere thought of that girl finding out about her job as she walked inside the La la land Cafe and towards the personnel room.

The first thing she sees upon entering is her boss Ms. Cookie, who at that time, was talking to their cook about something that she is planning to add to the menu. When her boss turned around and saw her, her eyes shone with delight and concern for Sakura's welfare.

The news about her cafe almost being robbed and about Sakura almost being assaulted by those thugs the other night have immediately reached her in no time while she was still in the hospital the following day from when it happened.

"Patty-san! I'm so glad you are safe and sound!" Ms. Cookie screamed with worry and immediately ran towards the girl to give her a tight hug. Sakura was stunned right there and then, unsure of what to react.

"My nephew reported to me what happened here, and I was so worried about you! I'm so sorry you have been in danger because of me!"

Ms. Cookie soon peels herself away from Sakura and does a rapid thorough check on her body from head to toe.

"Are you hurt somewhere? Are you bruised?" And as soon as she sees the light scar on Sakura's cheeks that is now in the process of healing, Ms. Cookie can't help but widen her eyes and give a small yelp at that.

"Oh my! You don't have to force yourself to go to work in that state! You should have given yourself a rest!"

Sakura, on the other hand, chuckled at her boss' cute reaction. Who would have thought that she was already in her thirties and has two kids when she acts this way?

Still chuckling, Sakura replied, "I'm fine Ms. Cookie. I think I already had a good rest on the weekends. Besides, these scars are so light now that they can be concealed with makeup already unlike before."

Ms. Cookie's big, puppy eyes stared at her with concern. "Are you really sure about that?"

"Yes, Ms. Cookie," Sakura nodded. "Also, thankfully, there's no damage done inside the cafe that night, thanks to master Ken who came just in time."

"Silly girl! That's not what I'm concerned about at all!"

Sakura happens to look at the wall clock hanging above where they are currently standing and immediately excuses herself to start working.

When her boss is already satisfied enough to see her well enough to go back to work, Ms. Cookie immediately grants her wish and sends her off right away.

Sakura bows and was about to go to the changing room when a random thought happened to cross her mind just now. Almost reluctantly, Sakura turns around to face her boss once more.

"By the way, Ms. Cookie…"

Ms. Cookie's attention was immediately caught, thus she hurriedly faced the maid for the second time.

"Yes, Patty-san?"

"Do you…. Perhaps…" Sakura trailed off, unsure of how to deliver the question to her boss while the latter only looked at her with a blank stare.

"Do you know anything about master Ken's plan on that particular night?"
