Twenty minutes later, Athena arrived at Seafood Nest. When she got out of the car, she saw a young man supporting Maria and waiting at the entrance of the diner.
When the young man saw Athena, his eyes lit up. He smiled warmly and said, "Hello, I'm Maria's friend. Are you Maria's sister? Thanks for picking Maria up."
Athena frowned. She was too familiar with the way the young man looked at her. She could tell what he was thinking at a glance. However, she did not show any displeasure. She only said politely, "Thanks. I'll help Maria into the car now."
Maria seemed to have drunk too much and was a little dizzy. After greeting Athena, she continued to close her eyes like she could fall asleep on her feet.
The young man quickly said, "I'll help you." He very gentlemanly helped Maria into the passenger seat with Athena. He even thoughtfully fastened Maria's seatbelt.
Athena noticed that other than stealing glances at her, the young man also took the opportunity to size up her car. He secretly touched it, his eyes filled with envy.
Athena felt that her precious car had been tainted.
After Maria fastened her seatbelt, Athena said, "Careful, I'm going to close the door." Then, she closed the car door and almost slammed it on the young man's hand.
The young man shook his hand with lingering fear. "Maria's motorbike is still here. Shall I follow you on it?"
Athena shook her head. "No need."
Athena grabbed the front of the motorbike and the seat right before the onlookers gawking at her beauty. She easily lifted the motorbike on her shoulder. At least the motorbike wasn't too big and could fit into the trunk with some maneuvering.
There was a round of exclamations and applause.
"Wow, she looks delicate and frail but turns out quite buff," a man exclaimed.
"The motorbike should be quite heavy. Even a man might not be able to lift it. This pretty lady is amazing," another asked.
"Miss, can I add you on iMessage?" a voice said.
"Miss, do you want to be a celebrity?" a woman questioned.
The young man wanted to help Athena carry the motorbike, but when he saw this, his eyes widened and he did not react for a long time.
Athena took the opportunity to say "thank you, goodbye" to him before getting into the car and driving away.
After returning home, Athena made Maria a cup of coffee. Maria quickly woke up and said embarrassedly, "Athena, sorry to trouble you tonight."
"It's nothing." Athena shook her head. She thought for a moment and said, "Are you very familiar with the guy who treated you to supper?"
"You mean Dwayne Nelson? I-I supposed." Maria's cheeks were slightly red. Her eyes darted around as she said in embarrassment, "He's a hairstylist from the hair salon opposite the coffee shop where I used to work. He's a very nice person and takes good care of me."
Athena blinked and thought, 'So Dwayne is a hairstylist. No wonder he's such a charmer.'
"How is he nice?" Athena asked, only half joking, "Tell me about it."
Maria hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "When he's on duty alone, he often takes the time to trim my hair. Everyone says my hair is very well trimmed."
Athena looked at Maria's slanted bangs and nodded. "Yes, your bangs are indeed quite beautiful. It suits your face shape."
"I think so too." Maria was happy when she heard that. Her face lit up. "Dwayne often brings us delicious food. He also gives me useful suggestions on how to match hairstyles and clothes. The first few times someone went to the coffee shop to take photos of me, he helped me block them."
Athena listened quietly and did not interrupt.
Maria continued, "Because I quit my job suddenly at the coffee shop this time, the shop said they couldn't pay me. I was also too embarrassed to ask for it. After Dwanye found out, he went to my shop to help me fight for my pay. That's why the manager decided to pay out.
"I received the money from the manager this afternoon. Dwanye even messaged me to ask me if I received the money. I'm very grateful to him." Maria blushed again. "I've been working for two years. Dwayne takes care of me the most."
Athena smiled, "How much money did the coffee shop give you? You have to treat me to coffee."
Athena was almost certain that such a stingy shop would not pay Maria. It was very likely that Dwayne gave the manager money and asked him to transfer it to Maria in the name of "salary."
Maria was so grateful to Dwayne. She would be even more touched when she found out Dwayne was the one who gave her the salary in the future.
