Chapter 60 - An Unexpected Encounter
The loud voice brought Lilia and Vivi's conversation to a halt. The two women exchanged glances in confusion. This suki restaurant had been around for a long time and the customers were mostly upper-class people. This was the first time they had heard someone making such a fuss at this restaurant. What kind of person would come here and speak so disrespectfully like that?
Because her curiosity was hooked, Vivi closed her mouth and gestured for Lilia to not make the slightest sound either. Vivi then stood up from the pillow where she sat. She slowly crept up to the door and pressed her ear against the surface.
Lilia remained still, and could only sigh at her best friend's behavior. Indeed, Vivi had a curiosity that was too great sometimes.
As she couldn't help but wanting to figure out what was going on behind that door, Vivi increased her hearing. Unfortunately, she couldn't catch what was being said outside their room.
Just as Vivi pressed her body against the door so she could hear more clearly, the door suddenly slid open.
"This is the room you want, isn't it? Hey, excuse me, I need this room! I'll pay — ow!"
When the man suddenly opened the door, Vivi lost her balance. Inevitably, the two of them collided quite violently.
"Ouch! Hey! Where are your manners, huh!?" Before Vivi could recover from her shock, the man pushed her violently. Vivi fell to the floor, "Aaah! You insolent!" She shouted.
Instead of stopping to help Vivi wake up, the man was furious, "Insolent? Me?! What is that supposed to mean, huh?!" The man snapped angrily. It seemed that he did not care about Vivi who fell on the floor.
"What does that mean!? You just pushed me down! Where are your eyes, huh?!" Vivi snapped back. Lilia's best friend rubbed her sore shoulder from hitting the door and gave the ignorant man a furious look.
It all happened so fast that Lilia couldn't react. She had just realized what was going on when Vivi's body had already hit the floor. Lilia hurriedly ran towards her friend.
"Vivi! Are you okay?!" Lilia asked worriedly.
"Y-Yes ... Yes Lilia, I'm fine..." Vivi said somewhat annoyed, "It's just my shoulder that feels a little sore. It's all because of this bastard .... Ouch...!" Vivi moaned in pain as Lilia checked her bruise, but she didn't stop glaring at him.
"Seriously ..." Lilia tilted her head to look at the man who entered without permission, "Hey, if you want to come in..." Her words stopped when her gaze met that man.
"Ah!" Lilia and the man were both stunned.
"S-Sicily...?" Tom Wibowo's face immediately turned white. His anger, which was ready to pour out on Vivi, immediately vanished like a scalded fire. Now, the only thing on his mind was, 'Jean will definitely kill me when he finds out about this!'
Lilia also stopped her from scolding Tom. She just helped Vivi up and made sure her friend was all right. She continued to say, "Mr. Tom, I'm sorry that my friend ran into you. But please, next time be careful when opening the door. Moreover, it is better if you knock before entering the room!"
Tom could only nod without saying anything. What else could he say now? It was better to be quiet than to make the situation worse.
"Then," Lilia continued calmly, "Since you seem to want to use this room, it's better for me and Vivi to find another place."
Lilia's words that remained calm and polite made Tom even more scared. The woman's attitude was exactly like Jean when he was angry.
"No, I don't need ..."
"I don't want to move!"
Tom and Vivi talked at the same time.
Vivi continued to glare at Tom with raging anger. Even though Lilia knew this man, Vivi still couldn't forgive his rude attitude. What's more, he had humiliated her twice. First, he pushed her down and made her bruised. Second, Tom yelled at her even though he was the one at fault!
Tom turned nervously at Vivi. It didn't take long for him to find out that this woman was Lilia's best friend, so he didn't dare to act so arbitrarily to her anymore, "S-S-Sorry, I-looks like I got into the wrong room! I-I'll excuse me!" He stammered as he tried to run away as quickly as possible.
Seeing the man's spineless move, Vivi became even more angry because Tom's apology seemed insincere. She stepped forward and grabbed Tom by the collar, preventing the man from escaping.
"Hey, you cardboard boy! What kind of apology is that?! Is that how you apologize to a woman?!" Vivi snapped loudly, "Where are your manners?! Your mother never teaches you manners, huh?! Come on, apologize properly!" Vivi snarled.
"W-Wait! Miss, what is the meaning of this?!" Tom started to panic at Vivi. His apology had been rejected, and now the woman harshly threatened him, "Hey! Let go of me! Don't pull it off, these are expensive clothes!" The man was trying to get away, there were more important things he had to take care of than listening to this woman's scolding!
However, Vivi refused to let go until Tom apologized. She kept scolding Tom, berating and scolding him with all kinds of harsh words, while the poor man couldn't do anything.
Lilia tried not to laugh at them. Even though the situation started off tense, now it was like Lilia was watching a scene from a comedy movie. Come to think of it, Vivi and Tom had similar personalities. Both of them were the temperamental types, and they both easily got emotional.
It was this similarity that made the argument between the two continue, and the debate between the two did not stop.
"Geez, seriously..." Said Lilia as she stepped forward to intercede for them. Before Lilia could open her mouth, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the door. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
"Tom, who are you talking to?" A woman's voice echoed down the hall. The woman's voice was clear and made people who heard her feel comfortable.
Vivi and Tom's bickering stopped when the woman appeared behind them. The mysterious woman took turns looking at them all. Her sky-blue eyes exuded confidence. Her straight body and elegant gestures showed that she came from a respectable family.
The contemporary kimono wrapped around her body made the woman look like a noble princess. Lilia was shocked when she saw it. The mysterious woman was wearing the latest Van brand kimono suit! Those suits were very difficult to get and cost up to millions of dollars!
Before anyone could speak, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from the restaurant's hallway. The woman in the kimono turned down the hallway and smiled broadly. In a voice as sweet as honey, she called, "Jean, come here."
