They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 257

Chapter 257: It Did Hurt Chapter 257: It Did Hurt A sharp, amused laugh that made Chinwa’s smirk falter for a fraction of a second.

“Oh, Chinwa,” Nnenna said, shaking her head.

“See, I did not call you here to beg.” That made Chinwa blink.

Nnenna smiled, slow and deliberate.

“I called you here to tell you that you had better go back out there and give us back our jobs.” Chinwa stared at her, stunned for a moment before letting out a disbelieving scoff.

“What?” “You heard me,” Nnenna said, shrugging like it was the most natural thing in the world.

“Go back, tell the manager the truth, and give us back our jobs.” Silence.

A tense, electric silence.

Then Chinwa let out a short, sharp laugh.

“You are mad,” she said, her voice edged with irritation.

Nnenna tilted her head slightly.

“Am I?” Chinwa sneered.

“You really think you have a choice here?” She took a step closer, lowering her voice.

“You are nothing here, girl.

I could snap my fingers and make sure no store in this district hires you.

And yet, you stand here, trying to threaten me?” Nnenna only shrugged.

She had tried.

She was not expecting Chinwa to actually change her mind, but a small part of her had still wanted to give this one last shot.

Not for herself, but for Kosi and Lilian.

She sighed, rolling her shoulders before turning around and following Chinwa back out.

The moment they stepped into the main floor, all eyes turned to them.

The air was thick with curiosity.

Had something changed?

Had Nnenna’s ‘begging’ actually worked?

But then they saw Chinwa’s expression, the smug tilt of her lips, the victorious glint in her eyes.
