Esme's eyes are very heavy tonight, since last night she couldn't sleep because she was constantly disturbed by crazy ghosts. After all, they finally managed to get close to her. The ghosts made Esme very emotional because they kept talking incoherently and didn't allow Esme to just close her eyes for a moment.
Ken who saw Esme felt so weak looked up in surprise. This was the first time he saw the girl was not excited.
Esme kept yawning, and this time she made her first mistake. It surprised the employees and of course, some were happy because, in the end, Esme made a mistake.
The envious employees were displeased with Esme who was so loved by the Chefs, especially by Kenno. They are jealous because Ken always looks warm when he talks to Esme. Likewise with Mrs. Benedite, although Esme did not come to work for three days but was never fired, Esme only took a pay cut and worked overtime. Yet Mrs. Benedite was notorious for being cruel and heartless.
"Tch, finally that pretentious pretty girl made a mistake" Laura cursed annoyed.
"Yes. I want to see him make another mistake soon even I want Mrs. Benedite to fire him" said Gisel.
"Esme feels beautiful, she pretends to be innocent even though she offered her body to Chef Ken," Laura pouted.
"Are you talking about yourself!" rebuked Allete, he didn't like it when his best friend was slandered.
"Of course, it was that innocent girl who gave her body to Chef Ken, otherwise why was she so tenderly cared for by him," Laura said on purpose.
"Esme doesn't need to throw her body to get anyone's attention, unlike you! You're willing to touch any man's shoes to get your shoes! You're such a slut!" Allete insulted Laura sarcastically.
"Shut up! Why are you defending that country girl? What more could Chef Ken like her if he didn't offer her body? He's unattractive and not good at taking care of himself" Laura sneered.
"The eyes of a classy man like Chef Ken are of course good at judging which items are cheap and which are valuable items. The proof is that he doesn't even glance at you, right? Even though you've been working here for a long time and always fail when seducing him. Meanwhile, Esme, who has only worked here for a few months, can attract Chef's attention Ken," said Alette.
With her sarcastic language, Alette continued. "Look at you all dressed up and he doesn't even glance at her, while Esme who is sober without the slightest make-up is still attractive. She is very beautiful without wearing anything, so you can't go wrong!" Alette tries to annoy Laura.
Laura felt angry when Alete insulted her like that, then she started grabbing Alette's hair, not wanting to be outdone and just giving up, Alette returned the tug.
The two of them grabbed each other without wanting to budge making Gisel scream. Geisel's loud shout made the employees come to them including Esme and Ken.
Esme was surprised when she saw her best friend getting into a fight with Laura. Esme tries to separate the two of them with the help of other employees.
Finally, Laura and Alette could be separated, their hair was both disheveled.
"I will avenge your insults on me!" threatened Laura.
"Go ahead! I'm not afraid of a bitch like you!" Alette was not afraid of Laura's threat.
Laura was furious, as she walked past Esme with a vengeful look. Esme froze at the angry look Laura gave her. Esme didn't want to think about it, so she took Alette and treated the wound on her face that Laura had scratched.
"Don't want to deal with that girl again!" Esme suggested.
"I have to teach his stinking mouth a lesson," Alette snarled.
"Don't waste your energy dealing with him"
"I don't like him always slandering you baselessly," Alette said.
Esme smiled faintly, she didn't know Alette would do that to defend her.
"Thank you, you did that to me. But I don't want to get you in trouble for defending me" Esme said.
"There is no problem for me, there will be a problem if I allow his mouth to continue to slander you! He was always jealous of you when you first came here," said Alette.
"Don't think of him, I never paid attention to him if he kicked me out"
"I'm not like you, Esme. I'm not going to let my good friend be bullied and slandered by him" Alette emphasized.
Esme felt happy, her heart slowly started to melt because of the warmth given by Alette.

Esme walked towards the Metro station, as usual, tonight she wondered why the ghosts didn't come near her. trying to say hello.
As she walked and looked behind her, Esme felt that someone was following her. But she saw no one behind her.
Esme shook her head, maybe it was just her feeling. He kept walking to get to the metro station more quickly.
The faster he walked, the more the sound of footsteps following him. Esme saw a shadow behind her. He knew that it was the shadow of a human.
Without thinking, Esme ran fast. He didn't know who was following him from behind. Was it a stalker or was he a drunk man? Esme was scared.
He stopped in his tracks as his body fell to the ground. Esme accidentally stepped on a rock. His leg sprained and he couldn't get up.
The man following him grinned sinisterly at him.
"Finally I can get you too, sweet miss," he said with a sinister smile.
"Who are you?" Esme snapped.
"I'm the one who will satisfy you tonight" he whispered as he stroked Esme's face.
The girl pushed away the naughty hand that touched her face.
"Get those filthy hands off my face!" Esme growled.
The man laughed loudly, "Well, these dirty hands will soon dirty your body" the man licked his lips which made Esme feel disgusted.
"Miss, I was asked by someone to enjoy you for free. Ah, not for free because he paid me. Isn't this lucky for me," he said annoyingly.
Esme spat in the man's face. The man showed his anger, then he grabbed Esme's hair roughly making Esme wince in pain.
"Cheap girl, you've made me angry. So I won't play soft with you! I will make you unable to forget for the rest of your life what I did to you" he threatened.
Then the man forcibly lifted Esme's body, he was looking for a quiet place to carry out his action. His eyes found a place that felt safe and fit for the night he had fun.
The man threw Esme's body roughly, staring wildly at Esme's entire body.
Esme was crying, she didn't know what to do. Was this the end of his life?
When the man was about to kiss her, Esme screamed for help without him expecting the man to bounce again.
Esme opened her eyes as she inhaled a familiar scent.
"Oliver" she whispered.
The man smiled "Hello. We meet again"
Esme flashed a smile, she felt calm when he was held by the man.
Oliver covered Esme's eyes with his hands lulling Esme to sleep. After seeing Esme's eyes close, Oliver smiled. Her eyes turned full of anger when she saw the man.
With his hand, he took out a flame and threw it at the man who had hurt Esme. The man screamed in pain as his body was on fire.
"Go to hell!" Oliver muttered.
