(Morena enters the house and sees Aunt Maria waiting up for her)
Morena: Good evening Aunty.
Aunt Maria: Welcome home, How was your date?
Morena: It was okay.
Aunt Maria: So the boy you kissed downstairs is your boyfriend, Isn't he? (smiles mischievously) You better have some explanations to give to your Uncle tomorrow morning!
(Aunt Maria goes into her's and Uncle Roberto's room and she wakes him up)
Aunt Maria: (shakes him) Darling! Wake up! I need to tell you something important!!!
(Uncle Roberto wakes up)
Uncle Roberto: What is it?
Aunt Maria: You won't believe what just happened, I saw Morena kissing the boy she went out on a date with.
Uncle Roberto: They kissed? And so?
Aunt Maria: (suprised) And so?
Uncle Roberto: Firstly, We're not her parents and we can't order her about, tell her what to do or restrict her movements and secondly, she's an adult, She's old enough to make decisions for herself. I'm very sure she knows exactly what she's doing.
Aunt Maria: But Darling...
Uncle Roberto: Maria please leave me alone, I need to sleep. (He backs her and covers himself with a blanket)
Aunt Maria: (stares at him furiously)
(Next Morning)
Uncle Roberto: Morena, You're resuming work today?
Morena: Yes uncle.
Uncle Roberto: (give her $100) Use that for transport.
Morena: (hugs him) Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate all you've been doing for me.
Uncle Roberto: You're welcome.
(At Chuks restaurant)
Nina: Morena! (She hugs her) Welcome back!!!
Morena: Thank you.
Nina: We've really missed you.
Morena: I missed you more. Seriously you guys are like family to me. Just the little time I spent with you guys and you're already making me feel like I've been here for ages. I kept thinking about you all, Honestly.
Nina: Awwwnnn....
Morena: Speaking of which, Where are the rest of our colleagues?
Nina: Ohh, They're not around yet, Except...(she points towards the corner of the kitchen)
Morena: (looks) Isn't that the new cook?
Nina: Yeah, She's the one.
Morena: I'm gonna go say "Hi"
Nina: To a mad woman?
Morena: Come on, She's still our colleague.
(Morena goes to meet Alicia)
Morena: Hey there.
Alicia: Yo! What's up?
Morena: I'm good, You're the new cook? Nice to meet you.
Alicia: Same here babe.
(Morena goes back to meet Nina)
Morena: See, It doesn't hurt to be friendly.
Nina: Until she chases you with a knife.
Morena: (laughs)
Nina: It's not funny.
Morena: Trust me, it is. (laughs)
Nina: So, How far have you gone with Daniel? I'm sure you guys spent quality time together during your suspension.
Morena: Well, We went on a date and we kissed.
Nina: Wow, That's amazing. But I thought you said you were just "friends''?
Morena: (blushes) Well It turns out that I like him in a special way.
Nina: Awwnnn... Wait, Does Cecilia know about this?
(Just then, Cecilia enters the kitchen and sees Morena sitting on a chair)
Cecilia: Hey you! That's my chair, Get up!
Morena: Excuse me?
Cecilia: I said that's my chair so get up now!
Morena: And who made it "your chair"? Besides, Your name isn't written on it.
Cecilia: Nina, If you know what's good for your friend here, You better tell her to get out of my chair now.
Nina: (ignores her)
Cecilia: Ohhh (To Morena) It seems like you want to go on another one week suspension.
Morena: What exactly is your problem? Where else do you expect me to sit down?
Cecilia: I don't care. You can sit on the buckets, the cabinets, even on the gas cooker, I don't give a fuck, Just get out of my chair, Now!
Morena: What on earth is wrong with you? What do you enjoy in the hate you're receiving from people?
Cecilia: I don't have time for this...
(Cecilia pushes Morena out of the chair)
Morena: Did you just push me? (sighs) You're lucky there's a no fighting policy.
Cecilia: Do you think I give a fuck?
Nina: Cecilia please calm down, Remember you just got back from your suspension.
Cecilia: Shut up! Who the hell do you think you're talking to like that? (hisses)
Morena: This girl's attitude is becoming unbearable.
Nina: Please ignore her. I'm going to the dish washing area, Do you want to come with me?
Morena: Yeah.
(Morena and Nina leaves the kitchen)
Morena: I'm suprised Cecilia hasn't been fired yet because of her caustic tongue.
Nina: Sometimes, Silence is the best answer for a fool.
(Just then, Rafael and Andrew enter the restaurant)
Rafael: (suprised) Morena? (He hugs her) I'm glad you're back. We've really missed you.
Andrew: Yeah...
Morena: I missed you guys too.
Rafael: I'm very sure clients will start trooping in now that you've returned.
Andrew: Yeah. This calls for a celebration!!! I'll go order some pizza and red wine!!!
Nina: Why do we need to order food when we have the best cook in the world right in here? (tickles Morena)
Morena: (smiles) You guys are flattery.
Rafael: No it is the truth. So what do you say?
Morena: (smiles) Let's do it!!!
Rafael, Andrew & Nina: (excitedly) YAY!!!
(Later that day)
(Daniel returns to the restaurant)
Daniel: Welcome back babe.
Morena: Thank you.
Daniel: I've missed your presence here...
Morena: (blushes)
(Daniel attempts to kiss Morena but she stops him)
Morena: Uh uh, We're still getting to know each other. Let's not take things too fast.
Daniel: (smiles) Fine by me.
Morena: But then again...
(Morena pecks Daniel on the cheek)
Daniel: (smiles) Hmm...
Morena: (laughs) That was peck not a kiss.
Daniel: Okay then. I'll be going out for deliveries, We'll see later.
Morena: Absolutely.
(That evening)
(A fat man enters the restaurant)
Morena: Good day sir, May I take your order?
Fat Man: Yeah, I'd like two large hamburgers and grilled chicken.
Morena: Okay sir....But sir, Can I give an advice?
Fat Man: About what?
Morena: Well, Instead of hamburgers which'll make you add more weight, I can make you a more healthier meal like vegetable salad.
Fat Man: Shut up! How dare you question my food choices and tell me what to eat?!
Morena: I'm really sorry sir, I meant no harm...
Fat Man: I'll report you to your manager! Is someone there?! Please get me the manager!!!
Morena: Please sir, I'm sorry...
(Mr Rodriguez gets alerted by the noise)
Mr Rodriguez: Good evening sir, I'm Rodriguez, the manager. I heard your shouts, what happened?
Fat Man: Your employee here was indirectly insulting me and telling me what to eat. Don't you know she's not supposed to question me? The customer is always RIGHT!
Mr Rodriguez: Yes sir, I'm really sorry about that. I'll go get another cook to take your order.
Fat Man: Better.
(Mr Rodriguez goes to the kitchen and Morena accompanies him)
Mr Rodriguez: (looks around) Where's everyone?
Alicia: Ain't nobody here. It's just me.
Mr Rodriguez: There's a client outside waiting, Go and take down his order.
Alicia: Okay.
(Alicia leaves the kitchen)
Mr Rodriguez: (To Morena) As for you, Remember you just got back from your suspension.
Morena: I'm really sorry sir...
Mr Rodriguez: Try this next time and I'll fire you!
Morena: I'm sorry...
(He leaves the kitchen)
Morena: (sighs) That was a close shave. I wonder why some people misinterpret things easily...
(Later)
(Alicia cooks the food and Morena watches her )
Alicia: What is it? Why you starrin' at me?
Morena: Uhhh... I'm just observing.
Alicia: Could you do that somewhere else?
Morena: No. This is where I wanna stay. (thinks) It seems like she doesn't know she's doing... (To Alicia) Do you need any help?
Alicia: Nahh, I've got this.
Morena: Alright.
(Morena leaves the kitchen and Alicia continues cooking)
(In the dishwashing area)
(Morena washes the dirty dishes)
Morena: This dish washer is obsolete, We need to get a new one...I wonder where Nina and the others are, Maybe I should call them...
(Just then, She smells smoke)
Morena: (coughs) Where's this smell coming from.... Oh no!
(Morena goes back into the kitchen)
Morena: Alicia! What's that?!
Alicia: How do you mean?
Morena: The grilled chicken and beef is burnt.
Alicia: I'm confused, Ain't this how grilled chicken's supposed to be?
Morena: But....
Alicia: But what? Bitch, You gotta learn to mind your own business or else you gonna be given more than one week suspension this time!
(Alicia leaves the kitchen and goes to serve the man)
Alicia: Bro, Here's your order.... Enjoy!!!
(She drops the food on the table and attempts to leave)
Fat Man: Get back here!
(Alicia turns around)
Alicia: Any problem bro?
Fat Man: (suprised) What is this?
Alicia: Your food.
Fat Man: You burnt my food?
Alicia: How bro? Ain't this how it's supposed to be?
Fat Man: Shut up! I paid $400 for two large hamburgers and grilled chicken and you're giving me this burnt oblation to eat?!
Alicia: You haven't even tasted it yet...
Fat Man: (angrily) Tasted what?! So you want me to choke to death? I'm gonna have you fired, Someone get me the manager!!!!
