Second Life's Revenge

Chapter 106: Progress

Standing proudly in front of her newly renovated store, Laura couldn't bear to hide her excitement on her face. She turned to look at Mary who came to visit Laura since she was worried about her. She didn't know if her replacement maid was doing her job well. And what shook her the most was that Fiona was the one serving her. Not only that, but she is serving Laura very well.

"Mary, didn't I tell you not to come here? What if Tine sees you?" Laura scolded her while crossing her arms. If Tine sees Mary she might order some people to eliminate her or worse threaten Laura to give up. Mary then said, "It's alright, plus, His Grace said to use the guards as much as possible."

The more Mary relies on Erwin, the more indebted Laura felt. Until now, she still didn't know how to repay him. But at the same time, she told herself to be grateful for having a wonderful person by her side. Sacrificing some of his men to protect Mary.

"I know butfine if you see Erwin next time make sure to thank him," She surrendered and looked back at the newly renovated shop. All the planning did not fail her at all. To add on Laura had enough no more than enough money to hire at least five workers. From behind a girl was calling out Laura's name.

When she turned her back, she saw the brown-haired girl waving on of her hand in excitement. While the other hand was holding a thick looking folder. Laura walked towards the brown-haired girl then said, "Woah there! Slow down, take your time."

"How can I let you wait?" Serena paused for a while, catching her breath. She sees the newly renovated shop and she was in utter. She then asked, "Is this your new store?" Laura nodded while Serena squealed out loud and jumped out of excitement.

"I can't believe this is happening," Mary praised, peaking in the store through the window. She wanted to get in as soon as possible and decorated the inside. It has been a while since she had done something like this.

Within a month everything Laura planned went along. From renovating, buying materials, and creating new dress and suit designs. Not only that but creating a dress that is easy and comfortable to wear for any person. She was proud of the results since she thought it was going to be harder than what she had initially thought of. But with the help of her skilled friends, everything flowed the right path.

"Thank you for helping me," Laura thanked, looking at Mary, Serena, Fiona, and the one and only Lester. The three other ladies smiled brightly while Lester hid expression and scoffed out loud instead. Then he spoke, "It's just the beginning, Miss Laura."

That's right within a month Tine set up her own store and unexpectedly it was a coffee shop. However, the coffee shop itself looked expensive and extravagant. And she thought it was a good idea only having the nobles side with her.

"Serena, what about the other five employees?" Laura asked as she opened the door then entered the empty store.

"Don't worry. But first, let's get in, and I'll show you the designs I made."

One by one everyone walked into the store. There Serena made her way to the corner and laid down different designs. From ballroom dresses, everyday-wear dresses, and since it was still the winter season. The seasonal wear was included as well.

The designs displayed on the table impressed everyone. It was like they were very much eager to wear it. As for the suits of the men she laid out after and impressing Lester.

"This is wonderful, Miss Serena!" Said Mary unable to keep her eyes off the light blue dress. Serena noticed Mary being interested then had an idea. "Mary, after I complete this outfit will you wear it?" Mary shook her head. She didn't have the confidence to wear such a beautiful dress. Instead, she preferred Laura or Fiona to wear it.

"It's alright, try it. After all, the target of this shop is for both commoners and nobles to wear," Laura sided with Serena, boosting Mary's confidence. She didn't know what to feel. While her fingers circled she spoke in a soft tone, "I-if you say so."

It was a peaceful day for this group, but the other was flashing lightning and roaring like thunder. The table foot gave up after the continuous slamming of Tine for the past few days. She looked in distress and looked like she didn't have enough sleep. Even if they were given the same time for the test, Tine was behind. It was because she didn't have the people. She had the idea but not the execution.

Vivan, who stood out of her room, was called into Tine's room. After spending two years with Tine, all can Vivan could say is that she is the last person she wanted to serve. She entered the room in a calm manner and asked, "Is there anything you need?" And during those two years, Vivan grew into a stronger and better person. She is no longer the weak and scared girl.

"I can't find it," Stuttered Tine as she stomped her foot onto the ground while walking towards her. Vivan answered in a monotone, "When was the last time you placed it, Miss?" Tine bit her fingernails then answered, "I do not know! That is why I'm asking you."

Surely Vivan didn't know where it was because the plan was always on Tine's hand. To add to that, her room was a mess. It would take hours cleaning her room up unless ten maids clean her room. But for sure, the other maids didn't want to clean her room because the next day, her room will be back to being a huge mess.

"I will ask other maids to help and clean your room," said Vivan but was stopped when she felt her sleeves being pulled down. Then in a low, desperate voice, Tine said, "No, Don't let them in my room. That's right. Send him a message. Ask him to help me. Now!"

"Are you implying to Sir Louis? Or His Highness?"

"Who else? Winston of course," Tine sneered at her and sat on her unmade bed. Vivan then said, "If that's the case I will ask the other maids to clean this place up."

Vivan stepped out of Tine's room and sighed heavily out loud. She looked at the new maids who were on standby and ordered them to clean the mess up. Some didn't look motivated or happy to clean the room. They would rather do the laundry than clean the room that will be messed up in a few hours.

She called for a messenger and asked him to send the letter to Prince Winston. Who for sure wouldn't want to see this letter. Tine had the help of Winston not only that but she got extra income from him. But he didn't help her any further since he would be doing it for her. And of course, he didn't want her to win the title.

But the idea for someone to become a princess soon and still wanted to inherit the family is very funny. She could have lived her life luxuriously and not fight against Laura. But Tine wanted to prove her worth. That she is suitable to lead. But in fact, she was wrong.

She couldn't even take care of her servants and maid. Not only that, she treats people like garbage, especially one person she holds grudges to. There was a point where she wanted to murder Laura for interfering with her plans. What is her dream? Tine wanted to become a princess. To be the wife of a prince who she thinks would save her like a prince riding a white horse.

Tine continued to bite her crooked, broken fingernails, and mumbled out random words. The last time she used black magic was two years ago. Since then she didn't use black magic because she was scared since she experienced something like death. To begin with, black magic isn't something a normal person should be using.

"I have to kill her. Kill her. Kill her. Kill her!"

The fact that Laura kept interrupting her plans intrigued her. Never once did things go well for her. She stole the priestess title from her and maybe she might steal the position of the heir. That's someone who doesn't have the blood of a noble. Not only that, but it seemed that Laura had mana that allows her to heal. A rare skill.

"It's so unfair!" Tine screamed out loud and threw another fit. She stood up and pulled the curtains down, breaking it. A knock came from the door and entered the maids ready to clean Tine's room up.

Their faces flashed an unpleasing expression, but they ignored the continued screaming of Tine and started to clean her room.
