Chapter 5 - The Second Encounter

"Good afternoon, Sir Santos! I have already prepared the reports you requested, sir." Shy handed her report to Mr. Santos.

"Good. Thank you! Anyway, we have a new client. And he's inviting us with the opening of his shop this coming Sunday. So, make sure to prepare for that day, okay?"

"Yes, sir."

***At the Pantry Area***

"So, what else do you want to do on Sunday?", said Belle while eating their lunch.

"Oh shoot! about that, Mr. Santos told me that we have a new client and we're invited with the opening of his shop. So I guess we'll have to set a new schedule for our coffee date? I'm really sorry ,Belle. I'll make it up to you next time, okay? "

"Well? what can I do? I know career is your top priority and I'm just second to it, right?"

"Oh Belle! I'm very very sorry but that's not true! You're actually at the bottom!", Shy and Belle both laughed with each other

***Sunday***

Shy woke up with the ring on her phone. "Hello, good morning!"

"Good morning Shy, I sent you the address and you had no reply so I decided to call you in case you forgot the meeting with our new client today. Just make sure to be there before 9am, okay? See you there."

"Oh shoot! I'm really sorry sir. Yes sir, will be there before 9am. Thank you!"

"Okay then, I'll hang up now. Bye!"

"Bye, Sir!"

Crap! It's already seven in the morning. Had to prepare now.

***At Eats O'K Cafe***

"Hello sir, I'm already at the Cafe."

"That's good. We're inside."

"Alright sir, will head there now."

Mr. Santos waived at a distance, beside him is his wife.

"Good morning Mrs. Santos, how are you?"

"Hi Shy, It's good to see you again. You look stunning with your dress by the way. ", Mrs. Santos said winking at me.

"Thank you ma'am, but no one will be able to defeat your undying beauty. Any man here would think you're still at your thirties." Mr. and Mrs. Santos both laughed.

"You really flatter me so much, Shy. Next time, let's have coffee here."

"I'm really pleased to be invited, ma'am."

Good morning everyone! I hope each of you are enjoying the food. The food and drinks being served today are the foods we will serve everyday. So please enjoy and please don't forget to drop your feedbacks on the drop box we provided beside the exit door. In behalf of the management, Welcome at Eats O'K Cafe!

"There he is!"

"Mr. Santos, I'm glad you came."

Shy turned around to see the man. Keevan?
