Chereads / Leo's Coffee Shop and Boarding House / Chapter 30 - Thalia Isley

Chapter 30 - Thalia Isley

The gang got busy with the shop, everyone was helping. Leo was delighted by the actions showed by his tenants. The sight of the girls working together made Leo happy.

Hours had passed and the numbers of customers going at the shop slowed down, Leo ordered the school girls, "You girls should rest and head upstairs, I think we can handle it here"

"We'll help clean up" Shye said panting, "You already look tired you should go up and rest" Amy stated.

"Amy is right, we're also about to close so you girls head up and rest" Shane added smiling.

The girls head upstairs, as they do Leo walks toward the kitchen,

"Hey Leo, Didn't you forget about someone?" Amy said looking at Thalia cleaning up,

"Oh right!" Leo said scratching his head, Shane laugh a little.

Leo walks toward Thalia and poked her shoulder to get her attention,

"Uh-uhmm, I should get going" Thalia said to Leo, "You're going already, we haven't even talked about your stay here" Leo said.

"I have an offer to give you" Leo said,

"Offer?" Thalia was confused. Leo signals his hand at Shane for her to come closer.

"I sent my proposal to Miss Isley to your email, drive her home and discuss it with her" Leo ordered Shane. She just nodded and agreed, "Sir, can I bring Amy with me?" she asked.

"Yeah, go ahead" Leo agreed and hands her the keys to the SUV.

"Hey Amy, boss has an order come with me?" Shane yelled at Amy, "What the h-" she was too late to react because Shane already pulls her hand.

Leo laughed at Amy's reaction and watch the three girls walking out the door of the shop. He took off his shirt exposing his mouth watering abs, he grabs the apron on the counter and tied it in his waist before he head inside the kitchen.

Outside the shop,

"Hey Amy, could you drive us?" Shane asked politely, "Why me?" Amy questioned her.

"I'm about to discuss Leo's proposal to Miss Isley" Shane answered getting inside the shotgun seat.

"Fine, hop in Miss Isley" Amy said looking at her with joy, "Ma'am just call me Thalia or Lia" Thalia said smiling at the two as she gets in at the backseat,

"Uhm, shall we go?" Amy said as the engine starts, "Let's go, please type in your address on this" Shane said giving Lia the phone,

As Lia returns the phone, Amy noticed that the address was just a block away, "It was just a block away? Why did Leo asked us to use the car" Amy was confused.

Shane just shrugged her shoulders, she opened the e-mail that Leo had send him, "Wait!- For real!" she exclaimed shocking the two,

"Hey, don't yell so loud, What is it?" Amy glanced at her, Shane eyes were popping out.

"What is it woman?" Amy also started to panic, Shane leaned in to her ears and whispered, "Leo, wants the girl to move in tonight",

"Isn't that what everyone has done so far?" Amy stated, "Yeah but he also included this in our terms" Shane said flashing the phone at Amy's peripheral vision,

"Wait, wha-? is he for real?" Amy was also shocked and suddenly pushed on the breaks, Shane just nodded and Thalia was pushed upfront by the cars momentum. "That bastard, we'll give him what he wants" Amy stated smiling as the car starts moving again.

Lia was confused at the back, "Uhmm, is there something wrong?" she asked politely, "Oh, it was nothing just Leo wanted us to bring back some strawberries" Shane said,

"Okay?" Thalia said with doubt on her voice, after a while Shane turns and face Lia, "Uhmm, Lia are you willing to move in?" Shane asked, "I don't know" she answered with her head low,

"I know it may seem awkward but Leo is just blessed" Amy stated, Shane softly hit her arm "Not helping" she said making Amy laugh.

"Leo has a proposal for you, here read this" she said and gives her the tablet with the contract flashed.

Thalia took a while reading the contract, "He's really gonna pay me what I earn on the different jobs?" Lia asked,

"Yeah, guy's crazy rich just doesn't look like it" Amy answered pertaining to Leo's sense of fashion when at home, Shane agreed, "Yeah and if you read the last term it says there that you would be working at the shop on flexible hours so you can still study" she explained.

"Isn't this too much?" Lia was confused, "It just looks much but it isn't trust me, plus it's fun working for Leo, he treats his employees well, just like a gentleman would treat a lady" Amy explained.

Shane looked at Amy with disbelief, "See, you like Leo" she said, "Of course I do, he's like a brother to me" Amy said,

"Yeah a brother who fu-" Amy shush Shane who is about to blurt out something indecent,

Thalia was just quiet at the back reading the contract, minutes had passed and they arrived in front of Thalia's apartment,

The two girls look at Thalia, "Where's the e-pen? I'll sign it" Thalia said smiling at the two, "Yes, in your face Leo" Amy exclaimed making Shane giggle.

Shane handed the pen and Thalia signed the contract, "So shall we get your stuff?" Shane asked, "My stuff? What do you mean?" Lia was puzzled,

Amy laughed, "You didn't read it all, you're moving in today",

"Wha-" Thalia was surprised, "But I have a contract here, I should stay for another month" she said,

"No, can't do let me talk to the landlady" Amy said barging into the building, Shane smiled at Thalia, "Let's get your stuff, Let Amy handle that" she said,

Thalia just nodded with a surprised face. They entered Thalia's room, Shane looks at Thalia with pity, "You don't deserve to live in a place like this" Shane said hugging Thalia,

Thalia just softly giggled, "This is what my money can afford" she stated, Shane looked at her, "C'mon, I'll help you pack up, let's leave this dump" she said.

After a while, the two came down with all of Thalia's stuff. Amy was leaning at the car waiting, "Hurry up" she yelled, "Damn, this is heavy just shut up" Shane yelled back.

Amy laugh and loaded the things at the back of the car, Thalia was looking at the building then suddenly turned around, "Thank you so much" she said tearing up,

"Don't thank us, Leo was the one who helped you" the two said.

"So shall we go home?" Shane said to Lia, she just smiled and nodded.

They get inside the car and drives home, "Uhmm, by the way Amy, how did you convinced the landlady" Shane asked, "Yeah, how?" Lia also asked,

"Oh that's easy, I just called Leo and let the lady talk to him" she answered,

"I guess Leo saw a lot on you" Shane said, "Well, she's a nice girl and she work two jobs" Amy added. Thalia blushed and softly giggled.

Suddenly the Shane's phone rang, it was Leo,

"Hey, you guys on your way back?" Leo asked,

"Yes Sir!" Amy shouts, "Damn girl, don't shout" Shane said,

"Okay, take care you guys" Leo said before hanging up the phone.

Thalia overheard the conversation, "He really is gentle" she said unknowingly, The two girls at the front was quiet and started blushing,

"Ehem, yeah he is gentle" Shane said.

The trip was quiet, they reach the building. When they are getting out of the car, both Amy's and Shane's phone received a message,

They both look, it was a group chat made by Leo with the photo they had taken today as their group photo,

Leo messaged the group,

"Girls all of you, come down for a moment" that was the message sent by Leo

And all the girls rush towards the café.
