SALESWOMAN
Tempest went to a small motel at the outskirts of town. She took a hot bath before settling down on her bed thinking. A system window appeared.
QUEST COMPLETED! YOU ARE AWARDED 10X CASHBACK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT PLUS 1% SHARES ON THE BIG MONEY COMPANY!
Ding~
You have acquired 5000 dollars in your account...
"The cash back is nice..not bad but 1% shares? The big money company? Which company is this? I have to check it out?"
Tempest thought then took out her phone. She tried to look into it but the phone was cracked making it barely visible for her to read the information.
NEW QUEST: YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW PHONE AND NEW CLOTHES
"Flora, you said this quests are generated when certain conditions are met? Is there more to it?"
"Yes, tempest"
She said. Flora was sitted at the armchair in the motel room where Tempest resided. She was in a gorgeous emerald green fitting dress which was at knee length level. Her dark hair flowed down her shoulders as her beauty radiated more.
"There are normal quests...these ones that are generated from your necessities. There are difficult quests...they are generated from someone else's necessities and hidden quests which are generated from the world necessities"
"I understand"
Flora stood up from the chair.
"You should rest Tempest. Let me massage you. You are worn out today"
Flora said as she helped Tempest to lie down
"Yes, you are right. Good thing I do no have to wake up early to deal with Vance's matters anymore. I feel free"
Tempest said tiredly as flora massaged her head and shoulders
"When you wake up, I will be here for you,"
"Ok"
...
Tempest flattered her eyes which were clouded with tears. She sat up and looked around her and realized that she was not in that place anymore. She had a sad dream. A moment that she wished that she would not remember at all.
She smiled and wiped her tears. She had made up her mind to move on and that was what she will do.
"Good morning Tempest, your breakfast"
On her plate was a simple breakfast. Fried eggs, toasted bread and a glass of orange juice, her favorite flavor.
She was moved. Tempest covered her mouth with her hand as tears flowed down her cheeks. This was the breakfast she used to have when she was with Vance, Before they got married.
She used to have this simple breakfast with him. He used to wake up so early in the morning to make this breakfast for her, even when he had so much work. They lived a simple life even though they had the money.
"Tempest?"
A soft hand held her cheek and wiped her tears. Tempest snapped from her reverie and her attention turned to Flora. She was greatful to her even though she didn't know her. She was there for her
"Thank you Flora"
Tempest said then embraced her. Flora chuckled lightly.
"This is nothing, tempest. So please...eat"
Tempest wiped her tears then turned to her food. She stuffed food into her mouth making her look like a hamster.
"Flora? Hamp you eatin? (have you eaten?)"
Flora laughed then nodded.
...
"So what are your plans now?" Flora asked Tempest as they entered in a mall.
"I have goals to achieve and this time, there is no one to stop me. This is how being free feels like? It's amazing"
Tempest said as she spread her arms like a madwoman then twirled.
What is a madwoman doing in a mall~
Is she sane?~
Look at her worn out clothes ~
Hmph! Such a madwoman should not be in this place~
oh my god look at the goddess beside her!~
Wow is she a model~
"People always have something to talk about" Flora thought
Some whispering ladies were talking about her, tempest. They even spoke loudly on purpose so that tempest could hear them.
Tempest, on the other hand, did not hear them because she was happy and excited to be free. She then stopped when she remembered something. She turned towards Flora.
"Where will the clothes go if we bought them?"
Flora smiled dotingly
"You shouldn't be worried about that. Let's go here"
Flora held her hand and pulled here towards a boutique.
The saleswoman at the desk glared at Tempest when Flora pulled her in.
Flora ignored her glare and began selecting clothes. Tempest also followed suit.
"Hey, hey you madwoman! How can a penniless woman step into our boutique? Don't you dare touch anything" the saleswoman threatened tempest and Flora.
NEW DIFFICULTY QUEST: TAKE DOWN THE RUDE SALESWOMAN
"Who said that we are penniless?" Tempest asked her while frowning.
The saleswoman sized her up then chuckled.
"Did you not look yourself in the mirror? What's that smell ewww?!" The saleswoman said then covered her nose feigning a disgusting smell.
Tempest grew angry and furious. The saleswoman laughed at her.
Flora ignored her and continued to choose clothes.
"Hey you whore! How can a penniless low life woman pick clothes that you can't afford"
Tempest slapped her making her fall on the ground.
"Are you crazy?! Oh wait, are you mad?!" The saleswoman said attracting attention
"So what if am I? Will you take me to the hospital? Tempest said with a menacingly cold voice.
Flora paused her actions and turned towards tempest.
Wait...is that the madwoman?~
How can a madwoman be allowed at this place?~
How can you say she is a madwoman..she is very clean and neat even though the clothes look shabby ~
Oh my...you are right?~
What is going on here~
The saleswoman trembled slightly but it then vanished because of her ego.
"I will call the police right now. So why don't you know your place and leave" she threatened
"Why do you speak as if you know me?" Tempest said coldly.
At that moment, she told herself that she was not going to be looked down upon by a mere saleswoman. She knows she doesn't have enough to be called rich but she had more than the saleswoman's salary. She was definitely not going to be stepped by such kind of low life.
