It has been a wild night.
Suddenly, it been raining heavily in the afternoon that made the by-passers seek shelter.
The rain did not stop until night. When it finally stops, most of their customers went home.
"Chelsca, come here."
Anthony, the manager of the café, seems to have a solemn word with her.
She followed him into his office.
"Honey, clearly you know our Café's regulation towards our customers," Anthony began lecturing her.
Chelsca knew what she did wrong. "I'm sorry, Anthony."
She heard him sigh.
Their coffee shop offers three choices comes of dining in. The customers have an option to dine in regularly inside the café.
The other choices are the second floor which offers privacy, and the garden gives a romantic ambiance. Mostly, couples who'd choose to dine in the Garden.
Then, they will give the available table because they got many reservations through the Mobile App.
"Alright. This is your first mistake so far. . . Always keep in your mind. Still, our customers do the right to choose what they like and what they wanted," he continued.
"Am sorry again," she bit her lower lip.
"I don't care what's going on between you two, but remember that you are on duty," he added.
"Between us?" She is a bit confused.
"Yes, with Mr. Collins."
"What about him?" she's confused even more by what Anthony is pointing out.
Her manager is staring at her with an unmistakable look.
"I am talking about lovers quarrel, honey?" he stated.
"What!? No, we're not! I mean, there's nothing between us!"
"Really?" Anthony looks not convinced.
"Why you'd think we are?" she asked irritatedly.
"Why you deny it to me?"
"I did not," she insisted.
"You know, this café been here before you are even born hun. . . and I run this café for ten years. He never comes alone without his cousins. And did you know how he always glances at you from the second floor? Besides, he's one of those customers who went home last."
He's teasing her; Chelsca could notice his tone.
She doesn't remember Anthony come out from his office the whole time Lewey was here. It was the end of the month, so he was doing a lot of sales reports.
"If you are confused," Anthony waves his hand towards the monitors inside his office.
Oh, right! The CCTV's are all over the corners!
"Okay, so? I don't think it was because there's something between us. Maybe he is just felt disgusted seeing my face? Because am ugly, unfashionable, nerd?"
Anthony dropped his mouth, "a disgusted man won't dare to look a person in the face that often."
She just shrugged her right shoulder.
Anthony sighed. "Alright, if you said so." He just scratched his head. "Okay, you can go back now. Tell James and John to close now."
"Okay, sir!" She left the office as soon as possible. She doesn't like further interrogation.
Why Mr. Arrogant keep looking at her? Does he plan something for her? She has to be careful and on guard from now on.
Work finished, and everyone taking different directions to go home.
Chelsca needed to catch the last train that runs until 10:30 of the night. She almost runs the station by taking long steps.
She was now on the stairs when someone grabs her. Before she could shout out, that person managed to cover her mouth and dragged her into the corner where no one is passing.
