Chapter 23: Renfri Gets Drunk
The sky was already dark and the door to the Foundation just closed.
Many people left the charity satisfied after having a warm meal and receiving some clothes which made Arthur feel fulfilled with his work. Amon during opening hours appeared there and there but it was unknown what he was actually doing. Renfri did not seem like the person that enjoyed doing charity work so after the obligatory show of her face since she was de facto owner of the Foundation she closed herself in what was now her office and was being very productive with her time…
"Ughhh… I hate my life"
She downed the bottle of what appeared to be the very cheapest available booze on the market and lamented about her situation.
"A month ago if someone were to go on and tell me that I would become the owner of a f*cking charity I would laugh and then punch the guy in the face"
She rubbed her temples in frustration and then opened another beer.
"The thing with Ouroboros was already ridiculous but now I am certain that the Goddess of Luck must've cursed me at this point"
Renfri did not hesitate to down yet another bottle.
"Seriously I feel like I'm staring at some sort of unfunny comedy in a rundown theatre"
The amount of alcohol she consumed per second was starting to reach concerning levels as she reached for another bottle.
"Where in the f*ck did someone like Amon crawl from?"
As if per cue Amon opened the door and witnessed the sorry state Renfri was in.
"You don't have to get drunk to ask, you know?"
His obvious reaction was ridicule as he leaned on the wall next to the door and with crossed arms observed her drinking another bottle.
"Huh!?"
This was however a huge mistake as Renfri was seriously not having it. Like a predator she locked her eyes onto Amon and abruptly stood up from her desk.
"To you EVERYthing is just a joke!"
She walked up to him in what would be a very menacing manner if not for the fact that she nearly fell over after accidentally kicking a pile of bottles which amount terrified even Amon. He couldn't recall what was the limit of intoxication before a person would die but what Renfri appeared to have drank today should be more than enough to put even an elephant to his eternal sleep... maybe even two after a closer inspection.
"Uhhhh… Why don't you calm down?"
Amon's choice of words proved poor as Renfri punched a hole in the wall a literal inch away from his face.
"Does that suffice as calming down Mr. White?"
She replied in a sarcastic tone using the forged surname of Amon but that seemed to have hit his limits of patience. His red coloured eyes narrowed and his face had a look of pure anger.
"Don't forget yourself"
He reminded Renfri who was in charge and that seemed to have worked as she took a step back away from him while recalling what kind of horror she experienced just for the sake of his entertainment.
"Humph! You think you have me all figured out. That I am already your puppet dancing on your fingertips"
The alcohol however proved to be victorious in the end as she continued her rant to Amon's absolute dismay.
"Well guess what! I am not afraid of you anymore so go on and f*ck yourself!"
Amon's expression turned somewhat relaxed when he realised that it would take him a while to put her back in line.
"It's cute that you still think I care about your opinion. Don't forget that I own you and you will do as I say whether you like it or not"
Renfri did not back down and instead smirked in response, completely unafraid.
"That may be if not for the fact that I found out what your weakness is"
"Hahaha! I have no such thing!"
"Oh really?
Amon was seriously amused by this. What kind of ridiculous idea was this? Him having a weakness? Hah!
"Please do entertain me"
He really wanted to see what kind of silly thing she thought of and gladly encouraged her to show off her findings.
"As you wish"
She took another step back and inhaled a large amount of air.
"ARTHUUUUUUR!!! AMON IS BULLYING MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
She screamed on top of her lungs and sure enough Arthur in a hurry came over. He appeared slightly panicked as he checked out what was going on and then moved in between Renfri and Amon with a look of determination on his face. He had his guess as to what was going on.
"I know that you express your fondness for people in a very specific way but you should understand that not everyone is accustomed to it. Maybe try being more nice and less direct? If you want to say that you like somebody, bullying is not the way to go. You know I recently picked up a romance novel and if you want I can give you a couple of hints"
Arthur spoke and the words seemed to have pierced Amon's heart, quite literally. He grabbed his chest and appeared to be on the verge of death with a couple of small tears appearing in the corners of his eyes. He looked over to Renfri with a face full of agony and fear, realising he underestimated Renfri's viciousness.
"HAHAAHAHAHAHA! Ugh!"
She uncontrollably collapsed into laughter but then suddenly gagged. She covered her mouth with her hand and pushed past them while rushing to the toilet. Renfri appeared to have gone beyond her limits today and soon loud ugly noises of puking could be heard.
"Arthur do me a favour and make sure Renfri does not touch another bottle in her life"
Amon slightly recovered and jokingly made such a request to Arthur to which he nodded.
"So I was right you really care about her"
Arthur seemed satisfied that his guess was right but that made Amon gag as well. He similarly covered his mouth and rushed to the toilet in desperation.
"Move! It's my turn!"
"F*ck off!"
