DROWNING DESTINY

Chapter 42

In thought you won't come," Philanie said smiling when the glass door of this expensive car right in front of her went down.

She indeed was right, she knew that Philamie got much of a wealth and this car can prove that. She may not know what kind of car is this but she was certain it was expensive like hell.

"Oh no, that's impossible. I am so much in need of having a job. I'm sorry, I'm late. I'm kind off forget the way out of here," she responded shyly.

"It's fine, come on in, it's unlocked," Philamie responded and gestured her to come in.

She suddenly had a second thought and was holding up to even lay her hand to the car door. She gulped while she was slowly touching the handle. She first went inside in an expensive car when Hector fetch them in the camp, second was when Ellen fetch her to go and shop for her stuffs and now, with Philamie, she hasn't never get rid the feeling of being awkward around with such fancy cars.

"You got a beautiful car," she couldn't help but to spill the thought she had in mind.

Philamie glances at her and smiled before she started the engine and leave the place. She was driving the car along the way so smooth and they were vibing the music.

"I actually got this after the 3rd branch of the restaurant," Philamie answered.

"Wow, so how many branches of the restaurant you finally have?" she asked in amusement.

"I got 6 now. The latest branch was the one that the nearest and that's where we are going now," Philamie answered and glanced with her to wink.

She chuckled with that and suddenly eaten with the insecurities. She was certain that she was at the age the same with Philamie but she was nothing with her. She got nothing, even a penny. After the conversation, she no longer said anything and just enjoyed herself the views outside the window.

Philamie also suddenly vibing back with the music and she smiled after hearing her beautiful voice. She was so perfect, nothing about her that is not beautiful. She wish she was born like Philamie. However, she has to accept the reality that she was a product of someone who are not like the parents of Philamie.

She also has her own path to take, and that's what she was taking right now. By hook or by crook, she will continue stepping steps with the recent path she has. She looked at Philamie when the car stopped before she check out outside from the inside.

"Are we here?" she couldn't help but to ask. Philamie smiled and nodded.

"Yes, now let's go and I am so excited to show you your workplace. I hope you would consider working with me," she answered and was hoping like her voice sounded really like hoping and that embarrassed her a little.

She don't deserve such worriedness from someone like Philamie. She has no right to get choosy with whatever job was waiting and was served for her. She has nothing to offer and she actually didn't fit the waitress qualifications.

She roamed her eyes around when she stepped down from the car and Philamie gestured her to come over. They were infront of a restaurant that has kind off plenty of people inside.

"Wow. This is extravagant," her initial reaction the moment she felt the ambiance of the place.

She had only seen this kind of place at the magazine and in the TV. She had never seen this with her own two eyes in the personal. The restaurant she and Ellen went wasn't like this, that was something like gave a different ambiance. Those were like foreign something feeling. But this one, this looks like really "the us".

"Thank you so much, this is the 6th branch and actually the biggest. I have 10 waiter and waitresses here and you will be working with them if you would still say yes," Philamie responded that made her look at the woman and chuckled.

"It would be an honor for me to be given a chance to work with here. Of course, it would always be yes," she answered so excitedly.

Philamie gaped and was so excited after hearing her answer. She felt a little embarrassment with Philamie's reaction, she was so down to earth. These people around her was so lucky to have her as their boss.

"Good morning ma'am Philamie, good morning, ma'am," the girl that obviously a waiter according to her uniform approached them.

Yvonne bowed her head to greet the lady and Philamie smiled and simply roam her eyes around.

"Angel, would you please serve us our best seller? We will be taking that chair at the side, the seaside view," Philamie ordered and the called Angel immediately nodded.

"Right away, ma'am Philamie. How about your drinks ma'am?" Angel asked back.

"The best seller as well but for a moment, give us 2 glasses of water." She heard Philamie responded. "You know, I have to always be updated with my business happenings and that is why I also had to know which among our choices in menu are the best sellers. I hope you would like them."

"I don't have a high standard of a food. I have never been so much of a fancy restaurant like this, Philamie. I told you, I was just an ordinary woman pulled up from the mud and has nothing with me, has nothing to offer. It was me who would wish that hopefully you won't change your mind and still would consider having someone like me in this kind of place," she answered so long.

Philamie smiled at her, "damn yes! Is it okay for you to immediately start by tomorrow? Don't worry, you will have someone from them that are going to assist you with everything. They will train you, I know myself. I have an eye for someone I know that are capable. I know you won't disappoint me."
