Threads of Betrayal

Chapter 8

The stairs groaned as I descended on them and I started to feel my heart beat really fast. I saw Ary in the living room and a mouthed out a "good morning" as i gave her a quick wave and got out of the house

"At least have your breakfast before leaving" I heard her say in a loud voice. I hurried back quickly to the house, picked up my sandwich as usual and took to my heels...was about to leave but went back inside to thank Ary.

"Well, thanks for not using all the water up this time" I said giving her a weird look

"You are most welcome" she said whichever I knows she didn't mean

"Oh please"

Once out, I couldn't wait to sneak on a bus so I stopped a passing bus and hopped on and luckily for me I was just in time.

I entered the restaurant and went straight to my section to put on an apron and resume duty. As I was wearing my apron, I heard Kira's voice behind me

"And guess who came early to work today, the one and only Diana Roberts" she said laughing out loud

"Hey it's not like its that bad okay I don't really come late like that " I said playfully

"Very funny Dia, Anyways it's good you came early"

"Oh really , wats up"

"Actually, the boss isn't around but before he left he said we both have an assignment to carry out"

"Assignment?"

"Yeah, he said we should meet him at one Mr Grinch house or something"

"Ok no qualms I guessed that would be after closing hours right?"

"Yeah if course "

"Well I better resume duty before he appears out of nowhere and starts lashing out on me" I said playfully and Kira couldn't help but smile

"Off i go" I said then we both parted ways and went to our various sections.

Kira is a beautiful girl around 5 '7. She was the first person who offered to be my friend since I first stepped into the restaurant and she has been my good friend ever since then. She has an Amazonian figure which sat well on her wafer-thin body. She has a decanter shaped waist and her complexion had an impeccable, ochreous hue. Her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black, beetle’s-leg eyelashes. A sculptor could not have fashioned her seraph’s ears and pixie’s nose any better. And whenever she broke into a smile, her beguiling, oyster-white teeth always lit up the room, trust me it could jolt you like an electric current when that megawatt smile gives you her full attention. I love her nebulous, Eden-green eyes which were a-sparkle with the ‘joie de vivre’.They were like two beryl-green jewels melted onto snow. She has a personality that revolves around her goals and improving her situation. She would always make sure she does whatever it takes to have a good life even if it means working her ass out all the time.. and I've always loved that about her. She trusts her own abilities and knows that she has value.. I don't even wanna know anything you want to say to her which would make her change her mindset about that..lol...She doesn't really have many friends around, it's mostly me and Andy so I'd just say we are the friends she has and it's always a pleasure to be around..the first time the boss brought me in to start working in the restaurant I was so shattered.. well of course because of my mother's death but Kira made sure she made me laugh one way or the other that day and i can never forget that about her despite being a stranger to each other she made sure she try and put a smile on my face..she has been more of a sister to me ever since then...and I literally tell her almost everything about myself..well not all but most. She works in the kitchen department while I stay at the reception and also attend to customers too I attend to tones of people everyday but there are this very set of people that do come in every Thursday which is weird though they always have this weird look on their faces and every time they come I've noticed that's when we get new intake replacing a former employee in the restaurant .

"Hey Diana" one of the employee called out to me snapping me out

"Yes" I replied

"There's a man in brown suit sitting in table 5 he wants a Belgian waffles with a cappuccino coffee can you please serve him i really need to use the restroom "

"Oh ok no problem"

"Thanks you're such a life saver" she said as she hurried away... I went to the kitchen to place the order and In not less than two minutes its all done which was surprisingly fast..I carried the foods and walk to the main room

"Okay brown suit here I come" I said with a sigh

I managed to find the Brown suit guy sitting on table 5, he has a Mohican cut and scythe-shaped eyebrows. His aquiline nose and half-dome cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw. His wrestler’s shoulders were part of his burly physique. He has a devil-may-care outlook with a dark, bristly mustache. And I wondered why he looks so familiar to me or maybe I'm just over thinking.

"Good day sir, this is your order, my colleague had to use the restroom that's why I'm here. Sorry for any inconveniences "

"It's okay, you can take your leave" he replied not bothering to look up as he was on his phone"

Gosh, some people just lack basic etiquette, sighing I went back to my section. Ten minutes later I saw him paying off and about to leave but as he was leaving his wallet fell down from his pocket. I guess he didn't notice that I am a good girl, so I went to pick it up for him. And as I picked up the wallet I saw a name Frank voz vozeni Vozenilek, Frank Vozenilek I managed to pronounce finally and it sounds so familiar but didn't bother thinking about it cause he's already at the exit.
