The shop assistant carefully put the money away, her emotions feeling like a roller coaster ride. She wanted to say "Goodbye" rigidly, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t make a sound. Thus, she could only give up regretfully.
Perry Reed picked up the plastic bag containing the medication.
He turned around and left with Flossie Wright.
The shop assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they reached the entrance, two figures were seen approaching.
One fat and one thin.
Both were walking in the drizzling rain without an umbrella.
The chubby one was draped in gold chains, sporting a robust figure. Wearing a vest and a short outer coat, his tattooed arms were exposed. From a distance, one could sense his authoritative presence. People around him instinctively moved away.

Next to him was the girl they had seen earlier at the breakfast shop.
Her filthy apron was taken off, revealing a somewhat clean pink knitted cardigan underneath. However, the cuffs were muddied, and the stains on the knees of her jeans were particularly conspicuous. Her short shoulder-length hair hung down, damp from the rain, sticking onto her neck and cheeks. Her face was pallid, hanging low.
Situation was even more humiliating.
The gold chain-clad Maxwell Moore stood tall at six feet three inches, whereas the girl was barely five feet three inches. Considering the stark contrast in their physical stature, the girl clearly evoked sympathy. Passersby couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the sight.
Seeing this, Flossie halted in her tracks.
She was not surprised, as she had already anticipated such a predicament.
If someone familiar witnessed such bullying, then...
After all, she was a military person, even without her uniform. Unlike Perry Reed, who was a bandit at heart, she couldn’t behave recklessly.
In the midst of her considerations, the two had already reached the entrance.
The girl kept her head down, biting her lips, her eyes stubborn. Clearly, she was being forced into the situation, but due to the man’s ability and threats, she was helpless.
The girl uttered without daring to look at Perry Reed standing beside her. She glanced at Flossie and began to stutter.
Maxwell Moore, standing on her side, furrowed his brows, yelling, "Louder!"
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She shut her eyes and let the tears slide down her cheeks, screamed forcefully, "I’m sorry! My attitude was improper earlier!"
Her yell drew the attention of several passersby in the vicinity, but due to Maxwell Moore’s intimidating presence, none of them dared to linger around.
At the same time, the shop assistant, hearing the commotion, walked to the door out of curiosity.
Looking outside, she was shocked.
The two people who came in earlier were still standing by the door, with two new figures appearing— a bulky man and...
The daughter who worked in the breakfast shop around the corner.
They had crossed paths a few times and shared few words. The shop assistant had a decent impression of the girl.
She was crying sorrowfully, somewhat choking on her words. Her tears mixed with rain, soaking her completely.
Yet, no one came forward to help her.
The assistant hesitated, subconsciously thinking about calling the police, but remembering the man from earlier, she instantly froze, not daring to move.
Outside the door.
Flossie, with her arms crossed over her chest, watched the girl’s pitiful demeanor, her expression unchanged.
Strong self-esteem is a good thing, but to be this devastated over a little grievance, was something she was not accustomed to.
What happened?
Have people become this fragile?
While overseas, it was rare to come across girls who grew up in a greenhouse environment like this one. After her reincarnation in the Forces, the only fragile heart she had encountered was Yvonne Watson’s.
