"Identity"
"We know what we are, but not what
we may be".
- William Shakespeare.
Luna's POV
"Hi! My name is Moon Luna"
I greeted the restaurant owner "I saw a poster just now that you're hiring for a new waitress".
The woman, looking like she was in her late 30's eyed me from head to toe, her small dark eyes squinting in what I could predict as displeasure as she took in my state.
'Here we go again' I thought with a sigh.
"I don't hire the likes of you, wrong place lady" she clicked her tongue.
'Ouch' my thoughts reeled in.
Why do they always have to judge my clothes because they're cheap, it's not like they have holes in them or look unpresentable. Can't they just understand that not everyone can afford those branded clothes.
'Also, why do they always click their venom like tongues? For effect or what?'
Sucking in my nonexistent pride, I begged
"Could you please reconsider?"
"You'd be chasing off my customers if you serve food dressed like that" she tsks, pointing out my outfit with her perfectly manicured nails.
"Please, I could put on your restaurant's uniform while at work" I reasoned.
"Look, it's not just the clothes, you look..." She was cut off by the entrance door signalling the presence of a customer.
"You're lucky I'm short staffed at the moment" she glared " quickly change and make yourself presentable and start working immediately".
Muttering thanks repeatedly, I waddled for the staff doors happy I got the job.
A black H2 Hummer Limousine at the corner of the street, a driver clad in the plain black suit with the earpiece in place , same as the bodyguard at the shotgun seat.
At the back luxurious seats, two males in designer suits were engaged in a conversation, well, more like a silent conversation as their heated glares spoke a thousand words spiced up with threats.
A male with silver grey hair took a deep breath trying to calm himself, his catlike glare unwavering on the brown haired male nonchalantly sitting opposite him with a teasing smirk and raised eyebrows as if testing the other's patience.
Letting out the breath, the grey haired male gritted
"ShenYi"
"You called me" the brown haired taunted "Chen Yan"
"Why again did you schedule our meeting here" the grey haired elite glared.
"I had no other choice, I have an urgent appointment" the other defended.
"At the middle of the goddamn street?" ChenYan raged.
"You'll see" ShenYi smiled playfully "she'll be coming out any minute now"
Minutes of the brown haired elite watching people go in and out of the convenience store, frustration hit him, not as hard as it hit the grey haired though.
"Why isn't she coming out?" He groaned as Chenyan glared with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Her shift ended thirty minutes ago Sir" the bodyguard informed from the front.
"There she is!' ShenYi sang, watching the female in a washed blue jean trouser and white T-shirt as she ran out the convenience store and past the limousine, only to turn around and take tentative steps to the vehicle and stare at her disheveled state at the tinted glass of the limousine.
"Shit!" She cursed "I look like crap"
"That is not to be argued" the once glaring male narrowed his eyes at the girl oblivious to the people watching her through the soundproof and tinted windows.
ShenYi adoringly watched her fuss about with her long, black hair in a pathetic attempt to tie it up in a messy bun as her locks stubbornly stuck out causing her to give up on them with a tired sigh.
"She looks tired". he murmured, inspecting the female who looked around in confusion.
"What's an eye candy 'wheels of luxury' doing in a place like this" she inspected
"I wonder what business the owner has in such an area" she kicked the tires before going further to knock softly on the tinted glass.
"That's right Luna, take it in, you'll never be this close to luxury again" she awed at the vehicle, circling it like a curious child visiting the amusement park for the first time and wondering how the Ferris Wheels worked.
"I wonder what the inside looks like" she planted her face on the window, trying to look through as her sweaty face left it's imprint.
ChenYan eyed the crazed girl with raised eyebrows as she mumbled, straightening her posture.
"I probably look like a car thief now"
"How dumb is she" he said to the other who pretended not to hear.
Finally taking her hands off the vehicle, she inhaled deeply before sneezing harshly, causing her head to smack the window due to the force as she stumbled back massaging her attacked forehead and her eyes slowly trailed on the car window causing her to recoil with a gasp.
The tinted glass was now decorated with dotted patterns of snot and saliva from the thunderous sneeze, the slimy fluids stuck on the poor window.
And the men, the white haired had a look of pure disgust with his nose wrinkled in effect, and his lovesick friend, he had more of a shocked look as they glanced between each other.
"She did not just"
"Yes, she did" he cut off his displeased acquaintance.
And the grimace on Luna's face was golden as she tried to clean it up, retracting her hand before she could touch it as she looked around to find no one in the surroundings.
"Well, no one saw that" she sighed in relief.
"I did" ShenYi blinked
"We both did" the light haired confirmed.
Luna gasped in panic, letting out a curse as it dawned on her
"Shit, I'm late!"
And she ran off, leaving her slimy mess stuck on the expensive window.
She had just tainted the said "wheels of luxury".
