Chapter One
Jade's POV:
"Good Morning Mrs. Wilson, Did you sleep well last night?"I greeted my employer happily, Mrs.Wilson, a 65 years-old single lady. I was concerned she often has a headache.
Mrs.Wilson is the owner of a small Coffee shop in New York. My work time will start from 6 a.m to 8 p.m. As a cashier, Monday to Friday. The Coffee Shop is understaffed, so oftentimes I work all around. I'm a Waitress/Cashier/Barista/Janitor. Phew! I can do that. But, I couldn't complain. Because Mrs.Wilson paying me enough for my family to eat 3x a day. And, pay off the bills.
"Yes, I take the medicine you recommended," She said with a smile on her face.
"That's Good, Did you go to a doctor?" I asked while putting my worn-out leather bag and old knitted coat inside the Staff Room, And then I head to the Check-in to fill my form.
"I didn't, don't take it seriously. It is just common for 65 years old to have headaches" She said while checking the stocks of the cups.
She doesn't want to listen to me. I remind her all the time to go to a doctor to get a check-up, But she won't. I think she has a phobia of syringes, she probably had a traumatic experience when she was a kid.
"Bob's Wife have a successful delivery last night."
"OMG?! I'm happy for them. Is it a Girl?" I said with excitement. After trying and trying, Finally, they have a baby now. Bob is our barista, I didn't realize it is already 4:59 a.m, I rushed to the Coffee Machine to clean it and refill the Coffee Maker.
"Yes, it is. But, he can't go to work today. So, Barista/Cashier? hehe"She said while refilling cups. But, that means I need to do two jobs. Whew!
"Yeah, I'm going outside. I'm gonna clean the windows" I replied, After refilling the Coffee Maker. I grab the bucket and the brush. I set up the Tables and Chairs outside. I enter the Coffee shop and Mop the floor.
"I'm so thankful I have an employee like you Allison," Mrs. Wilson said gracefully.
"Me too Mrs. Wilson, I was thankful when you hired me"
I flipped the card in the door to open, After a few minutes, our first customer came in.
"Hello. Welcome to our Coffee shop" I said gracefully. I walked to her table and ask her order. I wrote C#1(Customer No.1)
After a few minutes, I gave her the Hot Coffee, It is so Rainy today, I love hot coffee. I forgot to open the Machine outside it is an old-fashion Coffee Machine, You will just put 1 dollar it will give you a hot coffee. I went outside and Opened it, It's Monday today. Many people are busy going to work.
"Allison" Mrs. Wilson called me, so I went to check her. There is a rat on the floor. hahahahaha, Mrs. Wilson is scared of a rat. I spray a Rat Killer, and the Mouse ran. I heard the door open, I check who is it. I saw a man in a black suit and a tie. I walked to their table and ask their order.
"Hello. Welcome to our Coffee Shop, What is your order today sir?" I asked while writing C#2(Customer No.2)
"Hot Coffee, Two Hot Coffee"
"What about you sir?" I looked at the guy, He looks so handsome and rich.
"He already ordered two coffee. How many people are here?" He said He is rude. But he got a point. I served their coffee within 5 minutes. After a few minutes new customer came, I asked for their order and served their coffee within 5 minutes. I didn't realize the two guys sitting there left. I check their table and see $100. Wow! They gave a big tip.
AFTER 14 HOURS.......
Phew! The Shop is now closed, I cleaned the Coffee shop. And turn off the machine outside, After a few minutes of cleaning. I turned off all the lights and Locked the Shop. Mrs. Wilson left early today because she got a severe headache, so she gave me the key to the shop. I waited for the bus for 8 minutes. After waiting, I'm now on the bus, I slept for just a few minutes. After a few minutes, I'm now at the House, we rent it for $100 a month. I open the door and went inside. My sister Ashley approach me.
"Hey sis, I have something need to buy. It is necessary"
"How much will cost that thing?"
"Just $20," She said while making her face cute.
I gave her the money and it. I remember the face of the handsome guy before, He is a good-looking guy, but he is rude. If I could punch I would do. I feel asleep at the table.
