Way Of Me
Part 17's

The event attended by businessmen seemed so crowded attended by important people.

I work as best I can. I don't want to make Mr. Kean's coffee shop a bad name.

While delivering drinks, I had a chance to meet Mr. Max and Mr. Luke. They are also one of the important guests, considering the company they lead is a large company and is already very famous.

I went around with a drink. Some people whispered when they saw me. Some feel pity, some feel disgusted to see me. I don't mind, it's their right. Most importantly, I did my job well.

I saw Zoey who was looking at me. He would walk towards me, but Jackson held him back. I smiled faintly at Zoey who was still looking at me then immediately moved away.

The event began, welcome after welcome was heard. Until finally the event went to the announcement of awards for outstanding entrepreneurs.

The sound of applause from the invited guests rumbled as one by one name was called to be welcome to go on stage.

And unexpectedly, it turns out Zoey received an award as a young entrepreneur. He is considered able to make the company progress very rapidly after successfully going through difficulties.

I'm so proud to see Zoey on stage giving her words of welcome.

" Thank you to all those who have given appreciation so that I can get this award. This award is dedicated to my father and someone I love very much. Because without his support, I couldn't have gotten to this point " said Zoey, staring at me who was also staring at him.

Zoey lifted her appreciation and smiled meaningfully.

" This is for you, hubby. Thanks for everything "zoey concluded before finally getting off the stage.

I smiled seeing the happy graveyard on his face.

" Look, Mr. Rick's daughter is very beautiful. Besides being beautiful, she is also very smart and accomplished" said a few people who were standing in front of me.

" It is fortunate that the man who can be his other "southful partner.

" All I heard was Mr. Jackson's partner "another timbal.

" Aren't they separated ? "

" Yes, but it looks like they're back together. All I know is that they even work together and look at it even since Mr. Jackson has always been by his side. Looks like she loves Miss Zoey so much "said another.

" They're a really compatible couple. Beautiful, handsome and equally smart handle other "truthful companies.

My heart suddenly felt faint. I looked towards the front. Zoey stood in conversation with the guests, and Jackson continued to be by her side. Damn, what they say is true. They look like a good couple.

Zoey is seen smiling, while Jackson's hands occasionally embrace Zoey's waist even though I know that Zoey often let go of Jackson's hands. But it still hurts in the chest.

I keep watching the interaction between Zoey and Jackson. And I feel jealous. Especially when he saw Jackson tidying Zoey's hair to the back of the ear. I really want to take Zoey away from this place. I know very well that Jackson is taking the opportunity to get close to Zoey. Fia is getting bolder, let alone added by the support of the people. Jackson seems to forget that Zoey already has.

Because I kept watching Zoey, I got so out of focus while walking that I actually hit one of the invited guests and dropped the drink I was carrying.

As soon as the invited guests looked at me, including Zoey. I saw him walking towards me.

" What are you doing ? Look ! My clothes are dirty. You stupid waitress ! " the jolt of the guest I just hit.

" I'm sorry ! I'm sorry, sir, I'm not careful "I say sorry.

" What is this ? " ask Zoey who is already among us.

" This waiter doesn't work. Look he's already dirtying my clothes "the man explained to Zoey.

" I'm sorry, sir. I accidentally "said while looking down.

" Mister, he's already apologized so please forgive "zoey's plea to the man.

" What ? Forgive this stupid waitress ? He's ruined my clothes and my mood is "said arrogantly.

" What is the price of your clothes ? Let me change it " Zoey said as she looked at me.

" Zoey what's going on ? " ask Jackson, who is suddenly among us.

Jackson glanced at me with a cynical look.

" Come, just tell me how much I have to pay to change your dirty clothes "challenge Zoey.

" Mister Karl, just say it. I'll replace it. I'll send you the exact same clothes you're wearing today and I'll make sure you get them tomorrow but please don't you scold them anymore. Maybe he's not careful because there's a problem" Jackson said

" Ah, Mr. Jackson you're really kind to watch this waiter. Because of your kindness, I will forgive this servant "he said with a smile.

" Hey, you're lucky to be defended by Miss Zoey and Mr. Jackson. A stupid and ugly servant like you can work it's been lucky "he added, which further demeans me.

I'm just shaking.

" sir... You don't have to demean it like that. He's a good man, if only you knew what he'd been through all this time "sold Zoey.

" Why do you defend her so much, Miss Zoey ? You seem to know him very well ? " look at Mr. Karl.

" Yes, I do know him even very well because he is "

" He was Zoey's friend back in college. She's Zoey's private tutor "cut Jackson.

" I hope you can appreciate it. He was so clever it was just his fate that was not good" Jackson added to my defense.

" Is that so ? Alright, I won't prolong this matter anymore. You should thank Mr. Jackson and Ms. Zoey for defending you ", said Mr. Karl, and then walked to the exit.

" David... " Zoey moved towards me but Jackson immediately held him back.

" Zoey... It's not good for you to be close to him. Remember, no one knows your real relationship. You don't want your company's good name ruined, do you ? " said Jackson quietly but felt like a threat.

" I'm fine, go" I told Zoey.

" but... "

" Already, you've heard that he's okay. Now that we have to go, we have to take advantage of this opportunity to add to the relationship "excited Jackson and take Zoey away.

I looked at Zoey's back who was starting to move away. The more I looked, the more I realized I didn't deserve to be with Zoey. He deserves a good life, and a better man than me.
