Alice POV
I was in the kitchen when I heard the bell of the entrance door ring. I was trying to make a full-flavored biscotti which is said to be great with espresso. I had a couple of customers who suggested that and I finally found time to try it.
Good thing, Jane is already at the counter and just started her shift. Emily has already ended her shift and just left for school. Jane and Emily were college students who were working part-time at the coffee shop to support their college. I don't mind having part-timers instead of full-time employees. I am glad to be of help as I was once a college student before. But I was fortunate enough to have a mother who is in full support of me not just financially.
Though we are not wealthy, my mom's job is enough to support my college expenses.
