Idle Money System

They tried comparing those idols appearance to this man in front of them, but they find it unbelievable that this guy is much more handsome than a celebrity. Feeling flustered the girl with glasses answered in a flustered tone.

"Yes, we would like to eat" she said with her eyes darting from side to side.

Alexander arched a smile which made the three girls be in absolute entranced, Alexander then proceeds with the order.

"What do you want to order, here is the Menu" While giving a menu each to the three.

Taking the list they still made some slight glances towards Alexander when all is done, they finally made an order. The girl with glasses spoke first.

"I'd like to order Adobo and one rice, please," she said. Her glasses reflected her sharp eyes, giving her a smart, almost genius-like appearance. She usually seemed cold and aloof, but that attitude seemed to disappear in an instant.

"For me, I'll have the Bicol Express and one rice, please," said the girl with black hair and bangs, her almond-shaped eyes tapering gently at the outer corners, giving her a warm and approachable look.

"I'd like to order Kaldereta with one rice, please," added the other girl with black hair. Her features were more delicate, with big round eyes, a tall nose, and a graceful face.

Alexander was focusing on his mission which is taking the order, not caring whether his serving a beauty or not. It's not like he'll get rich by seeing a beautiful woman. After calculating everything he spoke in reply.

"For the Adobo it will be 70 pesos per serve, while Bicol Express and Kalderata is about 50 pesos per served. The rice is only 10 pesos, your order is totaled at 200 pesos." He said as he wrote in the small note.

The three nodded and Alexander continued, "Before I go do you need drinks or just Service water?"

"I would like to drink a coke in a bottle" The girl in the glasses said.

"Me too" The girl with almond shape eyes spoked.

"Me three" the last girl added.

Alexander nodded while taking notes, "That will be about 260 pesos, excuse me while I get your order" he then went on his way taking the note to the counter which is given to an open square trapdoor, a delicate hand then took the note it was none other than Sophia, she then passed it to his father to prepare the order.

Claire seeing how Alexander handles the customer she could not but give a thumbs up in her heart, the three who was left alone, the girl with the almond shape eyes took her phone and the image of Alexander smiling was taken.

It's the perfect image because Alexander was greatly taken at the right angle without him noticing it, seeing the image on the phone the two were shocked.

"Yumi what did you do! What if you get caught and implicate us, it will be embarrassing" The girl with the glasses said.

"Don't worry, Faith. He won't know a thing. It's not a crime to take a picture," Yumi said with a sly smile. Her eyes were slightly obscured, and she had a distinctly Asian look that made her a classic example of a 'Chinita'.

"Can you share me the image" The girl with round eyes said in a low voice.

"Sure Althea, I'll send it to you in messenger" Yumi said in reply.

Faith could not help but want to find some words to argue but he found nothing, she could only look at the two of them on how shameless they are.

"You two are unbelievable" Faith said with a sigh.

After a while, the order was ready, and Alexander brought their meals along with their drinks. The three of them ate enthusiastically, but as more customers arrived, Alexander became quite busy. With Claire's help, the workload eased a bit.

While Alexander was busy, Claire was serving a table in the back near the wall. The table had five guys with tough, gangster-like appearances and hair dyed in various colors.

"Sir, could you please place your order? I'm in a hurry," Claire said, clearly annoyed. She was frustrated with the five guys who had kept her waiting for quite some time.

The 5 thugs just look at her with a lewd face, the one guy who had a red hair with a tall and muscular build. His hair was style in a Buzzcut and was dressed in a leather jacket the same with the others.

"Beautiful lady why don't you sit and chat with us for a while, we will order after we are satisfied" The thug in red hair said with smile, as his eyes darted towards Claire body.

Claire seeing this felt disgusted she put on a strong front and said, "You perverts if you don't want to eat then leave this place, or I'll throw you out"

Hearing her threats, the five of them couldn't help but laugh, finding it the biggest joke they had ever heard. They laughed so hard that tears even formed in their eyes.

"Lady, that's enough joking. Sit beside me, and we'll leave this place alone. If you don't, we'll wreck it until it's nothing but scrap," he said with a laugh at the end. His buddies joined in, adding to the mockery.

Claire was furious. She glanced back, ready to ignore the five thugs looking for trouble. But before she could walk away, a strong hand grabbed her wrist. Turning to see the guy with red hair smiling slyly, her anger soared to new heights.

"If you don't let go, I will call the police" Claire threatened.

The red hair was amused and said, "Do you think we'll be afraid of a mere cop? We are from the Black Serpent Gang now tell me do you think we'll be afraid?"

Hearing the gang's name, Claire recognized them immediately. They were known for using violence and extortion to extract money from innocent civilians, controlling much of Iloilo City's underworld. She also knew this was just a branch, with their main base located in Manila.

Undeterred, Claire tried to pull her wrist free from the guy's tight grip. His hold was firm, making it difficult for her to break free.

"Are you really not going to let go?" She said with her brows furrowed.

"No, why what are you going to do about it" the thug said looking at Claire's face, having fun on making her angry.

"So be it then" Claire last voiced trailed off, as her palm came flying off towards the guy in red hair.

With a smack the sound reverberated throughout the restaurant, and a red handprint was formed on his face from the impact. The guy in the red hair was stunned, as he touched the place on where he was slap.

His buddies were also flabbergasted from the sudden slap, not thinking that this beautiful lady will put on a strong retaliation. Claire seeing him holding his cheeks, smirk in disgust.

"Don't bother me anymore or I'm going to slap till it turns purple." Claire said as she looked back and was about to leave.

The guy in red hair who came back to his senses when he heard her insulting words became angry, from getting slapped in the face and also being humiliated from tons of people. He never felt something like this in all his life.

"Where do you think you're going, you bitch?" the guy with red hair sneered, reaching to grab Claire's hair.

Claire glanced back, seeing his hand closing in on her head, and fear began to grip her. Suddenly, before his hand could reach her forehead, her back slammed against a solid wall, and the scent of a strong man filled her nostrils.

She noticed that the red-haired thug's arm was stopped by a smaller arm that held his wrist firmly, halting his advance. A man's voice resonated behind him, "Hey, you thugs—trying to hit a woman in broad daylight? Don't you have any shame?" Alexander's voice echoed through the restaurant as he glared sharply at the thug.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
