Chapter 1
"Landlady, please don't throw me out! I-I promise, I will definitely pay my rent on time next month!" I pleaded to the landlady as she looked at me unfazed with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Next month? You haven't paid your rent for the past 4 months, count yourself lucky that I didn't take any of your belongings! Now get out of my sight before I call the police!" she screamed as she threw all of my belongings at me before shutting the door.
"I'm sorry..." I muttered softly, conceding defeat.
Just noticing that people were giving me stares, I lowered my head as I grabbed my scattered items and hastily packed them into my not-too-big-but-not-too-small luggage. 'I haven't even brushed my teeth and taken a bath' I thought before making the decision to go to the public bath.
I am Lucy Heartfillia, turning 22 this year. Now, you must be wandering why I couldn't pay for my rent for 4 freaking months. I tell you, it was this entirely a stupid pink-haired richass guy's fault! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have lost my job and my beautiful apartment!
5 Months Ago
"I would like to order!" a pink-haired man from a table of four people called out.
"Coming!" I replied before confirming the orders of the current table I was taking.
This was me, five months ago, working at the 8-Island Restaurant catered to the rich. I had no complains for this job for the pay was fucking high, and not to mention, I get to see celebrities and stars. It was all fine until I went to take the orders of the pink-haired man.
"Hello, what would you like to order Sir?" I smiled as I took out my notepad and my pen to write down the orders.
"I would lik- Whoa, hello there babe." He stopped as he gave me a smirk which he thought was charming, but to me, it seemed disgusting.
"Sorry Sir, what would you like to order?" I said calmly as I gripped on my pen harder.
"C'mon babe, why so serious?" he said as he touched my arm, caressing my skin.
This time, the three guys sitting with that pervert had their attention on me.
"Sir, would you please kindly stop touching my arm?" I asked loudly, now gaining attention from everyone in the restaurant, even the Manager.
Glancing to find the Manager coming our way, I groaned as I rolled my eyes. 'Great...' The man who was still touching my hand smirked at me and I knew, his smirk told me that he had plans for me.
"Sorry Mr Dragneel, what seems to be the matter here?" the Manager, Minerva asked before glaring at me.
"Oh it's nothing, Manager. Your little waitress here," he paused, looked at my name tag before continuing, "Lucy, she's kind of rude for my liking".
I growled at him as loud as I could, earning a glare from Minerva. "I apologise for her rudeness Mr Dragneel. Please pardon me to bring her somewhere for reprimanding before she comes back to serve you Mr Dragneel?" Minerva asked and that bloody asshole shook his head before sending a victory smirk to me.
"Thank you, Mr Dragneel." She bowed before dragging me to the staff's room.
Bloody bitch, forever finding small mistakes to do me in. 'No wonder she has no boyfriend.' I chuckled slightly at that thought but obviously, it didn't go unnoticed by the 'model' Manager.
"What are you laughing at? Do you think it's funny? Who do you think you were serving just now, huh? Who gives you your fucking salary?" she shouted as soon as we got in the room. I mentally rolled my eyes.
'Well, she's a PMS bitch after all, not a surprise' I thought before answering, "I am not laughing at anything Miss Minerva, neither do I think it is funny. I have no idea who I was serving either and it is the boss which gives me my salary.".
"How can you not know who you are serving?! He is Natsu Dragneel, the successor of Dragneel Corporation and a famous celebrity! He can make the restaurant boost up in business and make the restaurant close down, all this just in matter of seconds!" she hollered as her face went red from anger.
'Hah, she looks like a monster.'. "Okay I get it Miss Minerva, I will not be rude to him no matter what, and I will serve him with all my best." I said before sighing.
"Good, because if you don't, you will be fucking fired." She said before walking off to the kitchen.
During the walk back to the dining hall and to the bloody asshole's table, I gave myself a prep talk the whole way. 'It's not like he can do anything right? I bet Minerva is just overreacting like how she always is.'
"Sorry for the wait Mr Dragneel, I apologise for my rudeness earlier on. Are you ready to order?" I smiled and spoke calmly, see, I'm a professional!
"Apology accepted, little waitress." He replied with a smirk before ordering.
"Thank you Mr Dragneel, may I ask you to wait for a bit for the food." I bowed and was about to finally walk off when he grabbed my wrists.
"Why in a hurry to walk off? Am I that scary?" I doubt it's scary, it's more like a pervert.
"Oh no, of course not Mr Dragneel! There are other valued customers like you who needs their orders taken down as well!" I forced myself to giggle.
"Ah, I see. Carry on then." He reluctantly let go of my wrists.
'Finally, my shift is going to be over!' I thought as I wiped the tables of the customers leaving.
"Little waitress, here!" the pink-haired man called out.
'Fuck my life.' I thought with a soft groan.
"Yes, Mr Dragneel?"
"Would you like to spend the night with me, little waitress?" he asked with a perverted look.
"Excuse me? What the fuck did you just say?" I asked with disbelief at how he was beyond disgusting than my expectations.
"I didn't expect you to be a person who cuss, little waitress. Let me repeat myself, would you like to spend the night with me?" he took out bills of money to show me.
I couldn't believe my eyes or my ears. What did he think I was? Some cheap woman who gives in to money? Oh hell no, he just made my patience snapped, literally.
Without any second thought, I grabbed the glass of ice water from a table beside that pervert's. Gasps could be heard as I splashed the cup of ice water on his fucking annoying face. You can mess with other people, but not me!
He looked at me with shock literally written all over his face. Oh how much I wanted to snap a picture of his ugly face!
"If you think I am a cheap woman, sorry but I am not!" I huffed out with my blood boiling with anger.
"What happen- Oh my god, Mr Dragneel! What happened here!" Minerva gasped out with utter shock. Hah, suck on it bitch!
"Your waitress here, splashed water on my face." His face getting redder with anger at every word.
"Oh I am so terribly sorry for this Mr Dragneel! I will ask her to apologise immediately for her terrible action!" she assured before turning to glare at me.
"Apologise." Minerva demanded with her so called death glare.
"I don't see the point of apologising when I will get fired either way. I would rather quit this stupid job myself." I said before dumping my apron on the red carpet floor and walked out. Leaving an angry Manager getting reprimanded by a fuming pink-haired asshole.
Well, thinking back about it, it ain't so bad after all. I got to see that bitchy Minerva getting scolded, this is what she deserves anyway, hahahaha! Oh wait, did I just hear someone say a high-paying job and free housing?!
"Oh my God, you serious?" a blue-haired girl squealed in a high pitch tone.
"Yes, absolutely serious! The Dragneels are hiring maids with ridiculously high salary! Also, one of the maids might be chosen as Natsu-sama's private maid!" a blonde replied with hearts on her eyes.
"You forgot one last thing, we get the chance to see the four hotties every day!" the blue-haired girl fainted with her nose bleeding.
'Hmm, high paying job and free housing eh?' I thought to myself before going to the changing room.
A/N: Wahaha, Lucy oh Lucy! Don't 'Natsu' and 'Dragneel' ring any bell in her mind? Anyway, stay tuned for the next chapter alright?
