"Why do I have to work with the stinky animals?! Are you perhaps targeting me?!" Melody said in outrage, she felt that she was demeaned by Kisha for putting her in a filthy place such as pigpens and the like.
Kisha paused her discussion with Eric and turned to Melody who was red from anger. "Then tell me what can you do Ms. Evans?!" Her cold voice permeated the entire place.
"There are other places you can put me to work. I can be Duke's assistant."
Kisha let out a cold chuckle that could send people's hair standing. "Do you think, we are still in a society where being a CEO's assistant is good enough to put food on your table?"
Melody was wearing an arrogant look, thinking that Kisha was afraid of her getting close to Duke by being his assistant. "What's wrong with being his assistant? Are you afraid?" She gave Kisha a challenging smirk.
Eagle on the other hand was giving Melody a mocking gaze, as if he was looking at a stupid girl who was still living in her own world.
Kisha withdrew any form of smile on her face, her blank stare made Melody feel not just uncomfortable but scared. She started to sweat but she didn't want to back down.
Kisha's voice and aura turned a few degrees colder which made everyone in the room suck in their breath. "First of all Ms. Evans. You're not here as a guest, so you can't choose what you want and don't want to do. Second, you don't have any other admirable traits in survival or other house chores. Third, food is not free so if you want to eat, then work and learn to follow your superior. Fourth, you can't even take care of yourself and yet you want to be Duke's assistant? Tell me, if I threw you out there would the zombies spare your life just because you can play the piano or would they watch you dance?"
Melody was fuming for being humiliated in front of everyone and the worst part is, not a single person from her family said a thing to defend her. If eyes could kill, Melody had already killed Kisha multiple times. She started to skin Kisha alive in her head and said. "According to your logic, I am so useless, so isn't it better if I just serve as an assistant to Duke so I could learn a thing or two?"
"True, you might learn something if you follow him. But we are now in a time-constrained environment where every second counts. Farming and growing animals are most important. So, don't you think that you'll be very helpful if you just do the task assigned to you?"
"How dare you treat me, the only Evans's heiress like this?!" She emphasized the word heiress, not wanting to recognize Kisha as her sister.
"Hmmm. You are indeed the Evans's heiress, but this is not your company or home. So don't use that crap on me." Kisha deflected.
"YOU!" Melody said with gritted teeth, her hands balled and her nails digging to her flesh.
"What?!" Kisha lazily raised her brows and continued. "If you'd like, there's another solution."
Melody did not answer but still waited for Kisha to continue.
