An Extra’s POV

Chapter 114

'I-Is that really Rey…?'

Alicia's stunned expression as she stared at the aggressive scowl on Rey's face was downright obvious.

She couldn't hide it anymore.

"GET UP! DON'T TRY TO PLAY THE VICTIM ANYMO—!"

"That's enough!" Alicia yelled out, a glare now imprinted deep into her face.

"A-ah, Alicia, don't mind me. I'm just telling this—"

"Save it. I don't want to hear anything from you…" Alicia raised her hand and walked past Rey, completely ignoring his lame excuse for a reason.

She walked towards the waitress and knelt beside her, holding two of her trembling hands.

"It's fine, don't worry. I'm not mad at you."

The lady seemed immensely surprised by Alicia's kindness, and even Rey appeared stunned from behind her.

Alicia no longer had any business with him, though.

"Please stand up."

She helped the waitress up, and after they both rose to their feet, she nodded and smiled even more broadly.

"You made a mistake. It happens. Maybe take the rest of the day off."

Since this lady wasn't feeling too well, and she was probably inexperienced in her job, it was best to rest.

"A-ah. No, I c-couldn't…"

Alicia instantly understood why.

'How could I have been so stupid? She's probably working like this because she has no choice in the matter.'

Life wasn't all rainbow and sunshine for everyone in the city—even in a place like the Capital.

A lot of people were struggling, and since the laws outlawed begging, many couldn't turn to that for survival.

"I understand…" Alicia smiled as she grabbed the woman's two hands and slipped something inside.

It was a Gold Coin—the one she didn't get to spend during the first Excursion.

She drew closer to the waitress, practically embracing her, and whispered words into her ears.
