Chapter 389 Chapter 389 Solution
The way Nexus talked and handled the situation, it was clear he was no ordinary man in the town. This baffled Mike and couldn't stop himself from asking nexus about his name reveal.
"Oh! Dracula told me your name. I asked about you, so he gave me a brief summary about you and your occupation. I hope it does not offend you." Nexus cleared Mike's confusion and relaxed his shoulders once Mike shook his head slightly.
"Nah, I am not offended, but I was a little surprised that you remembered my name. Last time, I saw you with Master Dracula almost two months ago. I didn't know you were Nexus." Mike confronted him.
"Yeah, I was working with him at that moment," Nexus responded.
Tiffany, who was quiet about the entire issue, called out to Nexus and asked him, "Nexus, can I ask you something?" She leaned forward and waited for his response. Mike looked at her as well.
Nexus raised his brows and leaned forward to nod his head, and gestured to Tiffany to ask him a question. Tiffany smiled at his gentleman side and asked in a polite tone, "Do you know that waitress?"
Her question startled Nexus because he didn't understand in what context Tiffany had asked him such a thing. "Sorry, what do you mean?" Nexus asked her to simplify her words.
"I mean, do you happen to know the girl who got humiliated by Wood Klein? Is she someone you know or related to you?" Tiffany elaborated the meaning behind her doubt.
Nexus shook his head and informed Tiffany, "No! I have neither seen her before nor is she related to me. But why did you ask?" It bothered him for Tiffany to ask such a thing.
"Then why did you risk messing with a noble family for a complete stranger?" Tiffany got shocked and asked further what Nexus's intention was for taking the waitress's side.
"Oh, I was just here shopping and saw that guy humiliating the poor girl. I couldn't control someone defaming or accusing falsely of the shit they had done. So, I did what should have been done. I will protect the girl." Nexus cleared Tiffany's confusion, but instead, he got wide eyes from Tiffany and Mike. he wasn't sure if this statement surprised or offended them.
"You have offended the entire family for a stranger. You shouldn't have done that." Mike said in a mocking tone.
Nexus frowned at his words and shook his head before responding, "I didn't take a stand for her because I was seeking any sort of profit by doing so. If you are powerful, you must utilize it to help needy people. My intention was to save the girl from a predator or the worst thing could have happened. I saw the opportunity and took it, that's all."
Tiffany got amused by Nexus's words. She got impressed by his thoughts and her eyes shone with something unexplainable that Mike noticed when she looked at him. He felt out of space and it hit his ego, too. But reacting in another way would make him a bad person in Tiffany's eyes. Instead, he thought of demoralizing Nexus's spirit.
"Maybe your intentions were pure for the girl but do you think you did justice to her? I mean, you might have saved her from Wood klein but it was temporary. Wood is a notorious man and he won't back down easily. Apart from this, you have ruined the girl's normal life because now Wood has his eyes on her. The manager of this store will fire her, anyway. He won't be hiring any staff who can cause him damage or loss of his reputation in the town. So will others retreat from hiring her as well?" Mike explained to Nexus that his actions had consequences, and now he had ruined the poor waitress's life.
Nexus didn't think about it, and now he was concerned. Suddenly, the manager of the restaurant came out and called for the waitress, who was standing outside a store and trying to forget what happened a few moments ago. She seemed scared and when the manager came running towards her; she was totally pale for whatever the consequences she had to bear. The manager seemed to be a sensible person, and he put his arms on her shoulder.
"I feel extremely sorry for what happened to you. That man is rude to almost all of our staff and I should have warned you, too. But, for my dear, I cannot keep you in this job anymore. It's nothing personal, but I cannot risk my business. I am the only breadwinner in my family and that man, he was from a noble family, had the power to demolish anything. I cannot take that risk. Hopefully, you will understand my situation and forgive me." The manager didn't want to be cold, but he was helpless at the moment.
"Please, don't fire me from this job or I will become homeless. I have responsibilities on my shoulder and I promise it won't happen again." The girl pleaded for forgiveness and begged the manager not to fire her.
"I am sorry. I can't do that. Even if I keep you here, others will complain and this whole thing will be difficult for both of us. Please, you can leave." The manager abandoned her pleas and went inside his restaurant, leaving the girl outside the door.
A smirk appeared on Mike's face when he saw what he said happened to be true. It had stirred Nexus's mind and made him feel guilty for taking steps to protect the girl. "Just as I said to you, he fired her and now she is on her own. No job, no place to live and he already said she got many responsibilities. Now you see it is the result of acting without a plan and giving it a second thought. What about her now?"
Nexus nodded his head in agreement and said, "you are right, Mike. I never thought of the outcome of my actions. Now I am really brooding over it. If she had lost her job because of my actions, then I am responsible for it. That's why I will help the girl to get back on her feet." He looked briefly into Mike's eyes and turned to Crystal, who was standing next to him.
Nexus leaned towards Crystal's ear and whispered something in her ears. Crystals's eyes glimmered in excitement and she smiled widely at Nexus's suggestion. Mike frowned and got confused, but watched as Crystal walked up to the poor girl and greeted her.
"Hi, my name is Crystal, and I saw what happened with you earlier. It is sad to hear you lost your job because of false accusations, but if you don't mind, I can help you." Crystal introduced herself to the girl and explained her motto.
The girl wiped her tears and looked at Crystal with a hopeful gaze. "Can you really help me? I am willing to work as a domestic maid. I have financial issues to cover and this job was my only hope, but now that they have fired me, I have lost all my will and hope."
