They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 254 - 254 The Clock is Ticking

Chapter 254: The Clock is Ticking Chapter 254: The Clock is Ticking At first, she had been tempted to use her good points to strike back at Chinwa’s arrogance, to put her in her place immediately.

But now, looking at how things had unfolded, she realized something important.

This was better.

Not only had she forced Lilian to confront her own cowardice and become a better person, but she had also brought Kosi out of her timid shell.

Kosi had stood up for her without hesitation, without expecting anything in return.

Wasn’t that what she wanted?

To change lives?

If enduring a little hardship meant creating real change in people, then it was worth it.

She decided she wouldn’t interfere with Chinwa.

Let her think she had won.

Nnenna would rather scrub this entire floor with these two girls and grow closer to them than reset the events and watch them go back to who they were before, scared, silent, and controlled.

Besides, she had to admit… she liked them.

And if that wasn’t enough reason, there was one more thing.

She glanced at Kosi, who was diligently working, and then at Lilian, who, despite her complaining, was making sure they stayed on track.

They were Nation’s Prince fans.

Her brother would hate this.

Not because he despised the Nation’s Prince, but because he was the Nation’s Prince.

The same person these girls admired, the same person they looked up to, was the one who hated her the most.

Her own brother.

He had never seen her as a sister.

To him, she was a burden, a disgrace, someone unworthy of even sharing his last name.

He had spent years making sure she knew it.

And yet, here she was, standing beside two out of his biggest fans.

Would he be furious if he knew?

Probably.

Would he try to ruin it for her?

Without a doubt.

But she didn’t care.

Because these girls, Lilian and Kosi, they were different.

They had no idea who she was, yet they had chosen to stand by her.

To help her.

And that meant more to her than the hatred Abuchi had for her.

From now on, they were her sisters.

Besides, she was one of them before, a huge fan of the Nation’s Prince, her third brother.

The girls cleaned all through the night, their exhaustion settling deep into their bones as the first light of morning crept in.

Despite their best efforts, they still weren’t done.

It wasn’t just sweeping, it was everything.

Folding clothes, putting them back in their designated sections, dusting shelves, arranging displays, wiping down counters, making sure everything looked presentable.

The more they did, the more there was left to do.

Finally, they slumped onto the floor, breathing heavily.

Their hands were sore, their legs ached, and their backs felt like they’d been through a battle.

Still, the store wasn’t ready.

Lilian exhaled loudly, opening a pack of biscuits and munching on one.

“We’re finished.” Kosi, sipping on a drink, groaned.

“We didn’t even get through half of what needed to be done.” Lilian nodded grimly.

“Looks like Vice Manager Chinwa is going to deal with us.” At the mention of her name, the three girls exchanged knowing looks.

“We need to report Chinwa to Manager Young.” Nnenna spoke up as she picked up her favourite snack..

Kosi sighed, leaning her head against a shelf.

“Even if we tell the manager, do you think she’ll believe us?

Chinwa’s been doing this for years.” “Who says she won’t believe us?” Nnenna asked, amused, taking a slow bite of her snack.

Lilian scoffed, shaking her head.

“Oh, please.

Everyone who has ever tried to report Chinwa got fired on the spot.

She always finds a way to turn things around and make herself look innocent.” Kosi nodded in agreement.

“Manager Young trusts her too much.

She thinks Chinwa is strict but fair.” She laughed dryly.

“Fair, my foot.” A heavy silence settled between them.

Then Lilian spoke again, voice resigned.

“I guess it’s our turn now.

Once the sun comes up, we should start looking for new jobs.” Kosi turned to Nnenna with a small smile.

“At least you didn’t sign any contracts yet.

You can just leave and find something else without any trouble.” Nnenna simply continued chewing, watching them with mild amusement.

She had no intention of leaving.

It wasn’t long before the first staff members started arriving at the store.

They walked in, still groggy from sleep, their movements slow as they made their way through the aisles.

Then they started noticing.

The floors weren’t fully cleaned.

Some shelves were still messy.

The store was not in its usual morning perfect state.

“Wait… what’s going on?” one of them muttered, frowning as they examined the store.

More staff arrived, whispering to each other as they scanned the surroundings.

Usually, the cleaners took care of this.

The store was always pristine by opening time.

But today was different.

And the reason was clear, Vice Manager Chinwa had deliberately forced the cleaning staff to stay away.

She wanted to make sure the three girls failed.

Now, the staff members were starting to notice that something was off.

Nnenna watched them, an amused smirk on her lips.

Let’s see how this plays out.

At this point, everyone in the store finally realized what Chinwa had been trying to do.

Now that the place looked messy, when the managers arrived, they would naturally blame the three girls for not finishing their job on time and have them fired.

It was a cruel setup, but not surprising, it wasn’t the first time Chinwa had pulled something like this.

The staff sighed.

Some of them actually felt bad, but what could they do?

Chinwa always got away with things like this, and anyone who tried to stand up against her had paid the price.

Kosi and Lilian had finally gotten into her good books after a few years, and now they had put all of that at risk just to help a new girl.
