Rin Chan's heart almost jumped out of her chest as soon as she heard her ringtone.
She immediately picked it up and excitedly read the message.
"Miss Jade, can you please do me a favor?"
It was a message from Emi. Rin Chan's sleepiness vanished when she thought Tony had finally replied to her.
"What is it?"
"Can you cover for me at the shop today. Sorry for the short notice, it's only for half of my shift. Pleaaaaaaaase."
"Ok sure. No problem."
"Thank you so much Ms. Jade :)"
Rin Chan sighed and prepared for work. She figured, working is a good distraction to calm her nerves.
After her quick shower, she went to the tea shop which is now just right beside her apartment.
She came in and madam Pearl was surprise to see her wearing her uniform.
"Aiya, Jade what are you doing here."
"Emi asked me to help cover for her."
"That kid dare to defy me., tch, I even specifically asked them not to disturb you. I'll talk to her later."
Madam Pearl retorted. She's clearly mad that Emi disregard her instructions.
"it's fine madam Pearl. You don't have to. I'm not busy anyway and just resting."
Rin Chan said trying to diffuse madam Pearl's hatred. Emi always asked her to cover for her whenever she had an emergency especially during surprise exams at the university so Rin Chan was already used to her requests.
"Is that so? If that's the case then it's fine. Go get change at the back room now."
"..."
Rin Chan quizzically looked at madam Pearl. She went to the shop in her working uniform already since her house was just on the next building.
'Did we have a new uniform?'
She thought as she went inside the backroom where she saw her other female colleagues all busy dressing up in their "uniform."
"Wha..what's the meaning of this?"
She exclaimed after she saw what her colleagues are wearing.
They were wearing bunny girl outfits. They all look at her and a girl went to her side.
"Miss Jade, you're finally here. Take this. Emi told us about you covering her shift. She was suppose to wear it. She asked me to let you have it."
Rin Chan reluctantly accepted the paper bag. She regretted that she agreed to Emi's request.
She looked at the back and sure enough, there's long furry bunny headband on it.
She went to the far most corner of the room to change. She doesn't want others to see her battle scars.
Emi has a well built body like hers since she work and ran everyday from the shop to the university making her physique about same as her.
