I could see the fear, heartbreak and panic in all of their faces as they knew I have the power and influence to pull through with what I have said even the cleaning lady was also distressed at my comment. Immediately the old man went on his knees as well as his wife and daughters pleading and begging for me to spare them.
"Please, you can't do that. This is the only means of income my family has. If you close this we will starve,' his words were sincere just as sincere as the hopeless expression on their faces.
"You should have thought about that before serving me poison," I frowned at them and just then.
"Stop this!" the cleaning lady interjected and I took my eyes to her.
"You and I know there is nothing wrong with the food I served you. It's perfectly fine. I know you are doing all of these just to punish me for what I did to you so punish me alone. They have done no wrong to you in fact they all adore you though I wonder why that is.." I raised my brows at her last statement.
Is she pleading on their behalf or is she throwing shade at me? I was kinda getting confused.
"..but that's not the point anyways. All I am trying to say is don't make them suffer for my actions. They are really good people. So please leave them out of vengeful schemes," she said with sincerity and determination and I couldn't help but let out a brief smile.
"Very well then. I will not close down the restaurant_" I hadn't finished speaking when the old man and his family started thanking and praising me to my annoyance.
"BUT!" I raised my voice and they kept quiet then I continued
"Only on one condition. I don't want her to work here anymore," I stated and they looked completely heartbroken, all of them except for Amelia herself.
I bet she was already expecting that.
"W..What? Is there not any other way please. Amelia is like a child to me. Please forgive her for any wrong she must have done to you.." the old man and his family started pleading with me on her behalf.
It was quite touching but I wasn't moved one bit. There is no forgiveness for what she had done, only pain and suffering!
"That's the only way unless you want this establishment locked down and the building torn apart from brick to brick!" I threatened but still they were still lingering in their decision to let her go.
They must love her dearly. I must say that's quite admirable but it was going to cost them.
I was about to change my mind and go through with my threat of closing down the restaurant for good but then Amelia showed a self sacrificing spirit.
With a smile on her face she spoke to the old man and his family. "You have to do as he says. It's alright, it's better this way. I wouldn't want the restaurant to close down because of me and don't worry I will always be your daughter no matter what. This won't change anything."
Her words brought tears to all of their eyes and they all embraced her warmly.
"This is not fair. This is not fair at all," the youngest of the old man's daughters said in tears.
Why are they acting like someone died? They can just easily employ another person. I am finding their actions overly dramatic though I could tell it was sincere.
"I said lay her off, not hug it off. What are you guys doing, huh?!" I frowned at them and they finally separated but they were still pretty much emotional.
"You have done what you came here to do, right? Hope you are happy now and you can finally let me be," the cleaning lady said to me and a smile formed on my face but it quickly disappeared just as it appeared.
"Happy? Darling you have no idea what will make me happy and you are wrong. I haven't done what I want yet. I am only just getting started,," I said then smirked afterwards and I could see a distressed look form on her face.
Turning away from her I faced the old man.
"Don't think you can double cross me. If you take her back in I will know and you will surely lose this precious restaurant of yours. I have eyes everywhere. If you don't believe, try me," I threatened and they buried their faces to the ground.
I took my attention back to the cleaning lady. "What are you waiting for? Beat it! You are no longer welcome here. You are officially banned from this place or do I have to call the cops to get rid of you?" I said harshly and she almost cried.
"I am leaving!" she said almost in a shout before turning to face the old man and his family, her expression softening.
"Good bye.." she said her final farewells to them before walking sadly out of the restaurant.
"Finally," I said, happy with the fact that I have accomplished my mission for today.
I was about to leave when my eyes went to the table where the food they had served me was. Honestly the food is too delicious to waste like that. Not even the food served in 5 star hotels and restaurants tastes as good as it.
I really want to eat everything to the last bite but how can I eat it when I have already said it tastes horrible and it's poison??
Whilst I was still thinking about the matter the old man's eldest daughter came to clean up the table and that caused me some amount of anxiety as I realized she was going to dispose of the food.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I want to trash it," she said and I frowned.
"Who asked you to do that?" I frowned and she looked confused.
"N..No but_" she wanted to explain but I cut her short.
"So you are trying to clean up the evidence of the crime right? Don't you know that the food right there is an exhibit?" I said and they all looked shocked.
"I swear that was not my intention. I just want to clear the table," she said, trying to explain herself and just then a brilliant idea came to my head.
"I don't want to hear it. You know what? I want you to package the food for me. I will need to run some laboratory tests on it to see the type of toxic chemicals you guys put in it," I said with a straight face hoping they don't see through my pretense and figure out I am only putting up an act so I can eat the food.
I guess I am a good actor as they still had worried looks and were still assuring me that no harmful chemical was mixed in the food.
"Just do as I say," I insisted with a frown and she went ahead and packaged the food in a disposable paper container and gave it to me.
"Here you go. Packaged as you asked," she said softly with a sad expression.
Taking it from her hands. "Are you sure everything is inside here? You didn't leave anything out? I will find out if you do," I said interrogatively and she nodded.
"That's everything," she assured.
"Good. Very good," I said then my eyes lingered on her small, sumptuous lips.
I bet my dick would feel so welcome inside her mouth. I should collect her contact details so I can invite her over to have my fun with her one of these days.
"Here. Put in your digits in case I need to reach out to you guys when I carry out the test on this food," I said with a stern expression as I handed over my phone to her.
"You want me to put in my phone number?" She asked, like she didn't understand me the first time.
"Yes exactly!"
"Okay," she said, then did as told before handing back my phone over to me.
"Have a nice day then," I bid them goodbye, leaving them looking both worried and confused.
As I got to my car I made sure to lock every door and wind up every window. Thankfully all the glasses are tinted black so no one can see me from outside.
Just perfect!
Immediately I tore off the package and started munching on the sweet food with eagerness.
"Ah!" I let out a pleasurable sigh, titling my head backwards on the comfy car seat.
This food tastes really good! I mean really, really good!
I never realized how hungry I was or is it that the food is just so delicious? Whatever the case I rushed it down in seconds like a hungry animal, letting out a loud satisfactory belch at the end of it.
"I feel so alive!" I exclaimed joyfully.
I would most definitely be paying here another visit sooner than later.
Stepping on the accelerator I drove off and on my way I saw the cleaning lady trekking on the road and an idea came to my head on how to humiliate her further.
