After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 58

Amara could totally tell this girl had it out for Katniss and was here to stir the pot.

"Hey, sorry about this, ma'am. This employee's new, and their shifts don't always line up, so they might not know each other. No one's trying to trick you," Amara said, forcing a smile. "If this doesn't work for you, what do you want us to do?" By now, folks were catching on. It was obvious these two had beef, and one worked here while the other was just here to cause drama.

But Amara had a point. A lot of the staff were newbies. Back when the shop was smaller, they didn't even have waiters. This girl was just here to mess things up and waste everyone's time.

"Exactly, young lady, chill out. Everyone knows the staff here are new. It's normal if they don't recognize each other," an old customer piped up, backing Amara.

Unexpectedly, this just made Laura even madder. Was it her fault now?

Laura's face flushed red with anger, then she sneered, "Fine, since you're all about protecting Katniss, you can take her place."

With that, Laura went back to her seat, grabbed her friend's coffee, and smashed it on the ground, glaring at Amara with a mocking smile.

"Oops, my bad. It's dirty now. Could you clean it up and get me another one just like it?"

Coffee splattered everywhere, making it impossible to walk without stepping in it.

Laura tilted her head back arrogantly and grinned.
