Chapter 12: Super Woman

Lucia was silent, she didn't expect that she would be looked down on like that. This was not the first time for her, but still it was very painful.

She didn't know what to do but bowed her head shakily. Seeing her helpless like this made Pierre, Chris, Bryan and Leo confused. Why should Lucia be afraid when she has the courage to fight back?

"Lucia, you-"

"I'm sorry for causing such a fuss! I'm sorry, this won't happen again!" She said while bowing.

"Huh?" Bryan who witnessed it actually felt very angry. At least it wasn't just him, Chris, Pierre and Leo were also furious.

Whereas when they saw Lucia give the ultimate kick to the man's face, images of the past immediately appeared in their heads when Lucia did the same to her enemies during a fight. But, what they are witnessing now makes them feel disappointed.

"Hey Lucia, are you kidding? What are you apologizing for?" Leo asked. He couldn't let Lucia just forgive that man and make herself the one to apologize instead.

"It was my fault for kicking the customer! It was just a reflex, because I felt a big disgusting fly perched on my ass. I'm sorry!" She said calmly as she bowed again.

There was silence for a while until a burst of laughter erupted from Leo's mouth which was followed by Pierre, Chris and Bryan's slightly prestige laughter.

"Hahaha...flies, huh? I think you should be careful, because there are so many big disgusting flies ready to attack a woman like you!" Bryan said and his annoying smile.

"Yeah, disgusting flies like you, right? Thanks for worrying about me!"

The perverted man who was touching Lucia's buttocks couldn't help but bow their heads in shame as Lucia shot him a horrifying murderous glare. He could do nothing but shut up and leave with shame.

"Hahaha... gosh, my stomach hurts so much! It turns out that she really hasn't changed, huh? It's just that she looks like a girl!" Said Leo who was still giggling thinking about the incident at the cafe this afternoon.

It had been 30 minutes since they had left the cafe and all the trouble had been won by the monster girl Lucia. But the sense of humor for her frontal and no-nonsense action made them unable to stop laughing.

"Crazy woman! You must have felt it, right? How can she have a boyfriend with such character? She will definitely kick every man who tries to touch her!" Bryan who received a murderous stare from Lucia in the cafe made him unable to laugh anymore. The pain from the woman's beating years ago resurfaced in his mind.

"I guess that's a different thing! Having a boyfriend and being publicly harassed is not the same thing!" Chris said the wiser.

"Yeah, if it's with her boyfriend maybe she can be more gentle!" Said Pierre continued Chris' statement.

"But if that's the case, why isn't she married?" Leo stopped their opinion with his question.

Bryan, Chris and Pierre couldn't deny that they were curious about this too. What kind of man could conquer a tough and violent woman like her?

"Hello Lucia, it's me Pierre!" Without a word, Pierre immediately called Lucia while his three friends were still thinking.

"Hey, why did you call her?" Bryan asked frantically. Pierre seemed to have ignored Bryan's panic and continued the conversation with Lucia on the phone.

"Pierre, what's wrong?"

"Are you home?"

"I just got home, why?"

"Want to have dinner with us tonight?"

"Hey Pierre, what do you mean take her to dinner?" Bryan asked annoyed. But even so, he didn't really refuse to have dinner with Lucia.

"Dinner? Sorry, but I can't!"

"Really?Why"

"I don't want to bother you guys, after all I just got to work. That's why I want to save my money until payday later, hahaha!"

"Tsk, damn it! Pierre, give me your phone! Let me talk to her!" Bryan immediately asked for Pierre's cell phone and with emotion immediately spoke in a loud voice.

"Hey, if a man takes you out to dinner, it means you're not paying the bill! You bastard! After all, since when did you get out of money? You've always been taking our money, don't act so innocent!" He shouted annoyed.

"Hey, why are you yelling at me? Who do you think you are? You bastard!"

"Never mind! Shut your rotten mouth! Come tonight at the L'élite française restaurant! If you don't come, I'll kill you!" He said and immediately ended the call.

Seeing his extremely childish attitude like this left Pierre, Leo and Chris dumbfounded. They forgot that Bryan had this side that he rarely showed, not even since Lucia left 12 years ago.

They looked at each other, before finally bursting out laughing at the reddened look on his face.

"Hey, buddy! You're actually glad Lucia is back, right?" Leo said while patting Bryan on the shoulder.

Bryan didn't want to admit it, but he knew it was impossible for him to hide what he was thinking from his friends who had known him since he was 5 years old.

"I'm glad that I can finally avenge what she did to us!"

"How is it? Honestly, I really don't want to reply to her, especially seeing her appearance like that! Honestly, I almost always get an erection whenever I'm around her!" Said the shameless Leo.

"Damn it! You got an erection looking at that crazy woman? Where did you put that brain of yours? You idiot!" Bryan said annoyed. He thought Leo's actions were disgusting without looking at himself who also felt the same way. Especially when Lucia was nearly naked before his eyes.

"Leo, you better stop that! Don't do anything stupid!" Said Pierre who objected if any of the four of them went too far with Lucia.

Leo who doesn't care about such stupid rules just wants to follow his instincts as a man. He felt he had no obligation to ask anyone for permission if he wanted to do something more intimate with Lucia.

"I know you guys are just trying to force yourself to think of her as Lucia we used to know. Lucia who almost always has short hair and wears the same clothes as us. We spend every day with her and never once thought she was different. But, I want you to realize one thing. Lucia is a woman, she's different from us! There's no reason not to be sexually attracted to her. I know you guys admit it too, she's very hot, right? As a man, impossible for wouldn't be tempted by her!"

"Leo, damn it! It's because of him that I've been thinking about it! You bastard Lucia, why did you have to come back looking like that? Why not just be like before, so I can take my revenge in peace?"

"Hi, honey! Why are you talking alone?"

A woman in a red lingerie came into her private room carrying two glasses of expensive wine. The woman handed him a glass, Bryan took it with a bit of compulsion.

"Why are you still here?"

"You don't like me here?"

"I told you to leave before I got home, didn't I?" Bryan raised his voice and gave this woman an intimidating look.

This woman just returned his cold gaze with a seductive smile and placed the glass she was holding on the desk. This woman wrapped her arms around Bryan's neck and give a kiss on his lips.

"I want to pregnant your child! Can we do it tonight without protection?" She whispered softly as she gave Bryan a lick behind his ear.

For some reason, Bryan was annoyed, he wasn't in the mood to discuss things like that tonight. His eyes were fixed on the clock on the wall which was already 6:30 pm.

"I have to go!" He said as he got up from the chair and forcibly released this woman's embrace.

"Honey, where are you going? I just came into this town this morning, but you don't care about me at all! I'm lonely, honey!"

"Shit, let go of your hands! What more do you want from me?"

"Why are you talking like that? We're about to get engaged, why are you still being cold to me? Oh I know, did you come to this town to pick up your disgusting ex-secretary? Geez, is she pregnant with your child, so you can't let it go?"

"What are you saying? Can you get out of my sight? You know, I'm so sick of you! Tell that damn old bastard. I absolutely don't want to be engaged let alone marry you!" Bryan looked very angry and it managed to make this woman silent in fear. She knew how terrible Bryan was when he was angry. The wealth he has can even make him buy other people's lives.

Bryan walked away annoyed, he had to come to the restaurant tonight. His passionate desire for revenge on his childhood friend made him unable to think of anything else. He just wanted to see Lucia suffer no matter what. Even if he had to do something vile and disgusting though.

"Lucia, just watch, I will definitely repay you! I won't be able to live in peace before witnessing your misery!"
