"I'm turning this restaurant into a Maid Club" the director said
Misaki did not understand one single word of what he just said.
"Who do you think you are to make such decisions" Honoka asked harshly, coming beside Misaki.
"Consider yourself lucky that I didn't decide to close this restaurant" He said, like he was the most generous man on Earth.
"Yeah, because that would be really stupid of you … were you blind today or did you just not see all the customers we had?" Erika said, standing up.
"That's the point. I've seen them and I've also seen the way they acted and the way they were looking at all of you. You didn't find them different from your usual customers?" He asked, confident about their answers.
"Well, it's true that the atmosphere was different but customers are customers right?" Subaru said naively and stood up beside the maids.
"Ok, so before, was it normal that a customer watch your ass while you're walking" he said, watching Subaru, "Or that he grabs it" pointing at Erika "Or that he stares at your breast" looking at Honoka "Or maybe it's a common thing that he slides your tip* in your bra" he stopped, now looking at Misaki. (A/N tip= money you give to the waiter to show that you appreciate his service)
"Come on girls, open your eyes, these customers are nowhere close than the polite customers you used to have, they are here to watch you while having a drink with friends, if it's the only persons you can attract then we'll just have to change the vocation of the restaurant"
Nobody dared to speak, shocked by what he just said but realized that this man was right.
"Okay, so what exactly do you mean by "Maid club" " Misaki asked, still confused.
"Well first, we'll change your uniform, it's not sexy at all, second we'll change this room, making it more urban, we'll add some music, some sofa, blue and purple lights so that it could be like a club-lounge" he talked like an interior designer the way he walked in the room, visualizing his version of the Maid latte.
"And if we are against it " Honoka said, not happy at all about the changes he wanted to do.
"Then you're out honey, I'll have no problem to replace you" He said, leaning closer to her.
"Wait, this restaurant is still on my responsibility, you can't change everything just because you want it"
Satsuki appeared behind him, looking like she wanted to strangle him. She was angry and that was a first.
" In fact, I can, just call the big boss, he approved my idea this afternoon" he said handing her the phone, too satisfied that his plan was working.
Somebody let out a long and deep sigh and chuckled.
"Maid club, huh… the way you talk, it's like you want to turn it into a strip club" Usui (who every body forgot his existence) said still lying on the floor, hiding his gaze behind his locks with his arm on his forehead.
"Well, it's a good suggestion" not affected at all by what Usui said. As he turned to leave, two hands grabbed his collar stopping him to go further.
"If you try, I swear I won't let this happens" Usui murmured, so that the others couldn't hear him. He let go of him and gave him a last look full of reproaches.
After what he left the room, hands in his pockets returning to his normal state of nonchalance. But Misaki could tell that something was on his mind.
Mori-san stared at the blond boy, insulted by what he just did. He replaced his tie and while he was walking to the front door to leave he said:
"Don't bother coming to work tomorrow, I'll call my people to make the renovations. You won't recognize this place so I suggest that you take a last look before you leave tonight"
The 5 girls watched him leave, having different thoughts about him and not necessarily good ones.
"What a son of a… cow" Erika said, restraining herself to tell more.
"Well I'm pretty sure that HE is the cow" Honoka said, crossing her arms on her chest as everyone sighted from exasperation.
Misaki left by the back door. She was tired from her day, pissed off by Mori-san and sad about leaving the restaurant knowing that, in two days, it won't ever be the same. She didn't even bother to change, wanting to go home as soon as possible. But it couldn't go like she planned with a perverted outer-space alien around.
Usui was leaning on the brick wall, hands in his pocket and with his gaze hidden behind his locks.
"Whattt are you still doing …" Misaki managed to ask, but Usui cut her off.
"Is is true?" he asked, still looking down.
"What is true?" She asked, not understanding what Usui meant.
He looked at her with a hint of annoyance. He came closer to her and left his hand to grab the thing that was disturbing him.
"There are better places where you can keep it, you know" He said bitterly while holding the tip that had been inserted in her bra by a customer.
Misaki grabbed the money, insulted by what he just did.
"It's not like I did it on purpose, baka"
Usui gazed again at the floor, clenching his fists.
He is mad…
Before she could ask him anything, she found herself embraced tightly by him. Her heart was beating loudly and Usui could feel it. He whispered to her ear:
"Tell me you don't seriously consider to work for him"
"W-wh-what?" she stuttered.
"This person, Haruto Mori, tell me you won't accept his idea to change the Maid latte"
His statement looked more like a plead.
"Well, it's not like I have a choice" she whispered, confused about what was Usui saying.
" You do have one: either you choose to accept it or you battle for your rights, Ayuzawa"
He was now grabbing her by her shoulders, looking deeply in her golden eyes.
"I can't, Usui, I'm just an employee of him!" She yelled at him.
He removed his hands from her shoulders and turned away. She just had time to hear his whisper
"And I thought that Ayuzawa had more self-pride than that"
After what he disappeared into the coldness of the night.
