Tere approached Raquel but he had not had time to mince words with Raquel deliberately nudging the drink glass next to him until all the contents spilled. Raquel looked at Tere with a fake smile then handed the glass he held to Tere.
"Uhm, can you give me lukewarm water? My esophagus is itchy and I need that now" he said with a plain wink of innocent eyes.
Tere stomped his feet, he hated being ruled like this. Kimberly used to be the one she always treated like this, Tere would put on a plain and sweet face if he wanted something from Kimberly.
Tere stepped into the kitchen, he took the place to boil water and with a small iron-stalked dipper Tere took the water inside a special place. Tere waited for the water to boil then took something out from inside his bag, he stuffed the itchy powder into the water with a sly smile.
Tere's father who saw that moved uncomfortably, occasionally he would squeeze his hand and bite his lip.
"You sure this is gonna be okay? What if he realizes something and reports our restaurant to the police, we could go to jail and go broke." Tere's father was clearly doubtful about Tere's actions.
Tere pursed his lips, he tightly closed the medicine and put it back in the bag. He glanced at his father with an unhappy face and a sharp gaze that made the middle-aged man shrink.
"Let's just calm down, this won't be discovered nor will there be any trace of it. Actually I've been preparing this itchy powder for a long time, I want to use it on Kimberly, with this medicine I'm sure her face will be damaged. I hate to see that seductive beauty especially with that fake smile on her lips." Tere stirred the water until the itchy powder dissolved and was nowhere to be seen.
In accordance with what he said there was no scent left behind, the water was still as clear as ever.
"That shitty woman is disappearing now, she's like she never existed. I'm annoyed to remember that, because now that he's not around then I'll try it on someone else first. Hopefully what happens is in line with what I expected" Raquel said with a triumphant smile.
"What about your best friend who has a rich girlfriend?" Tere's father looked curious.
He lost his fear and became excited.
Tere nodded, "i approached him because of that, I don't think he's a match for the rich man. He doesn't deserve to be more precise, Deon is too different to Kimberly's." Tere feels he deserves to be with Deon.
To get a new glass, Tere carefully put the water into the glass mix it with ordinary water and stir it again.
Raquel who was listening to the conversation felt that everything he did was so funny, he regretted not listening to what his grandfather had said since childhood.
Tere on the other hand looked towards his father, he smiled meaningfully yet with a suspicious twinkle within his eyes.
His father nodded happily, he imagined the luxurious life his daughter had promised.
He thought of being on top of a pile of money and gold, he appointed people to do this and it was to his liking. He also envisioned having a luxurious and large mansion, numerous servants and guards in full uniforms.
"really? I can't wait for that day to come, the insults we've received. Bad treatment from the people around you will give them all back again, Dad will not give them a chance to get close to us and take advantage of us." Tere's father clenched his hand.
Tere puffed out his chest proudly, he placed the glass on the tray then stepped out confidently. He carefully moved the glass filled with water onto the table waiting for Raquel with a bright smile.
His face was so frivolous showing the contents of his heart, the aura coming out of his body had already explained the evil intentions he had.
Raquel devoured the food available on the table in a calm motion, he even deliberately ignored Tere's whereabouts there hoping Tere lost his temper.
'Ah, she really hasn't changed, poor girl. Should he learn to hide his heart, he should be able to control the look on his face.' Raquel spoke inwardly smirking with Tere's confidence.
Raquel cut and devoured the food in a slow motion as if he was enjoying every bite that went into his tongue, he closed his eyes with a graceful gesture that made Tere inflamed with anger.
"You still don't go? What are you waiting for? You seem curious, do you want to eat these foods too?" raquel asked casually but his sharp eyes made Tere's heartbeat increase.
'Shit! Did he know I put something in the drinking water he asked for, but it was definitely impossible. I didn't see anyone approaching the kitchen, Tere's inner sweat started pouring down his forehead.
"Drink this!" point Raquel at the glass Tere was carrying just now.
Tere shook his head and immediately stepped back quickly, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief because there were not many people there yet.
"No, how can I drink the water served to customers. You're the one who drinks! I happened to be drinking in the back and now I'm not thirsty." Tere immediately refused quickly.
He tried to smile as naturally as possible, unfortunately Raquel was not a person who knew nothing. He was even more cunning and more ruthless, Tere's cheap tricks would certainly not be able to face him.
