Wait a minute, that voice sounded familiar. The waitress! Kahlan was astonished, should she ask her for help? she immediately ruled out the idea when she thought of it. That waitress probably hated her, her woman intuition told her the waitress was up to no good. "I'm fine, I'm just constipated" Kahlan managed to say with shaky voice. Following that she heard the sound of fading footsteps from heels, she breathed a sigh of relief "hello Kay. where are you? the boss is angry" A deep voice with strong Italian accent arose from the phone. "Marcello! Thank you for picking up! you are truly the best" Kahlan sounded emotional. "what's wrong Kay? are you okay? you don't sound fine! where are you?" Marcello asked bouts of question at a time not giving Kahlan the time to answer, he sounded panicked. Kahlan's eyes teared up as her nose itched...her friends were truly the best, they really treated her well and she couldn't imagine a world without them. She sniffed and continued "I called Mia earlier but she wouldn't pick up, is she that angry" "forget about Mia alright leave her to me. Now tell me where you are, so I can come get you" "I'm at a cafe in Piazza Del Duomo. Ah!" immediately Kahlan was done speaking a bucket of iced water was poured on her, crying out in shock she fell to the cold floor of the bathroom, her body numb with cold. She really couldn't handle the pain, it was winter...who could have done such a heartless thing to her.
*click* the bathroom door opened and once Kahlan saw the person that walked in through her blurry vision she immediately understood why she was treated this way. It was the desperate waitress earlier, her body spasm as waves of pain hit her body from her lower abdomen, as she fell into darkness. "Hello! Kahlan! Kahlan what's wrong! Kay!" The attractive figure at the bathroom door looked down at Kahlan in disgust, kicking her in the stomach thrice before she was satisfied. Noticing the voice coming from the phone beside Kahlan, she picked it up and sneered.
*crash* she threw the phone to the floor breaking it in the process. She looked at Kahlan once again and couldn't help but kick her face, how dare she? The waitress was a bully and always loved things to be done her way. The continuous compliments from people telling her she was beautiful made her as proud as a peacock. For the first time in her life she felt threatened, when she saw Kahlan's face...she was doing this not only because she was angry and embarrassed at being rejected but was upset at how beautiful Kahlan was and the fact that she drew the attention of people in the restaurant made her want to scratch that pretty face, she had no where to vent her frustration but Kahlan actually slipped to the bathroom giving her the opportunity. She dipped her fingers into the corners of her skirt bringing out a sharp pen knife, it glittered with cruelty making the waitress smile sinisterly. 'she would destroy this face'. Bending down, she suddenly heard the voice of her manager outside. panicking she hurriedly hid the knife and rushed out of the bathroom crashing into someone at the hallway connected to the entrance of the men's bathroom. "I'm sorry, so sorry" she exclaimed pleading in anxiety. "it's alright" recognizing the voice, the waitress looked up to see the most handsome and gentle face she fell in love with earlier. Leo looked down at the woman he was holding in his arms and he immediately had a reaction. "Are you okay, were you hurt" he asked looking concerned. The waitress immediately schemed, she limped her leg and called out gently "I think i sprained my ankle but I'm fine sir" she said pitifully, pinching her thighs to force tears out from her dry eyes.
