Naina was catching her breath after getting out of the taxi. She is late for her work, waking up late. What her boss hate the most is coming late. She saw many of her workmates in tears because of her scary boss.
She hurriedly join the meeting standing at last. "Naina" The manager voice jolted her.
"Manager Han, Sorry! I am five minutes late today" Naina just bowed, scared to see Manager Han's face. Luckily he just glanced at her without saying anything. Naina heaves a silent sigh and went straight to do her works.
She was busy serving and cleaning the table. Once she landed a job she thought of quitting all her part-time jobs and live peacefully. so, She try lots of interview just after she finishes her last exam.
Sweat dripped down Naina's exhausted forehead. "Thank you for coming to our restaurant," Naina said to each visitor politely.

Meanwhile at the same restaurant....
Shyam had a bored and deadpan look on his face as he silently observed the girl sitted in front of him kept stealing glances at him while she ate. He was sorely irritated by her.
"You don't like the food?" Teresa suddenly asked when she observed that Shyam hasn't touched his food.
"I had a heavy breakfast...." He replied casually as he picked up the glass of water.
Teresa pushed a force doting smile. Her face was written all over with disappointment as Shyam didn't give his attention to her as she expected.
"In magazine, I read some of your works. You are quite smart" Teresa started the conversation again.
"Thank you" Shyam briefly answered and remain silent again.
Teresa shut her mouth, speechless. She couldn't believe that a man will show this kind of attitude to her. Teresa thought Shyam is also a man, he may be slow to get attracted to her but he cannot be immune to her charms forever. She had been a very prideful person but she swallowed her pride and ready to make Shyam like her by hook or crook even though he gave cold shoulder to her.
Shyam had agreed to the date out of pressure, he didn't agree to come keep her entertained. He'd spare her an hour or so, and then he'll consider this date over.
"Waiter!" Teresa suddenly called out to one of the waiter who was standing not far from where they were sitting.
"May I help you?" The waiter came over to their table.
"I wanna order this one," Teresa said, pointing to one of the menus on the list.
-----
"Naina, Bring that order to table 11" The chef ordered.
"Okay" Naina immediately brought a tray of food. She stepped her feet towards table number 11 which was located in the corner.
"Please enjoy," Naina said with friendly smile while she was starting to put the plate on the table. Her gaze remained focused on the food without looking at the customer in front of her.
Before Naina could put the plate on the table, Teresa accidentally bumped her arm.
In a second, Teresa jumped up from her seat unconsciously when she felt something fell into her bag.
"Sorry!" Naina said with a panic voice and took a tissue to wipe her bag.
"Don't touch it" Teresa shouted. "Don't you know how much this cost?"
"I am so sorry" Naina apologised again.
"Geez, Is this how you work? Your monthly salary won't even be enough to pay for it," Teresa said loud enough for the other visitors to see them.
"Stop it! Teresa" Shyam said.
Hearing a very familiar voice, Naina lifted her head to look. "That selfish guy!" Naina grumbled in her head as she looked at Shyam. Her eyes darkened and she started feeling annoyed the moment she met with his eyes.
