A morning like no other, Marielle an owner and barista of a small cafe near the City was about to open.

💭 9:00

She thought, placing a board infront.

Minutes after opening the cafe a man with a tall figure entered the door.

*Cling

"Welcome!" They both smiled waiting for the man to walk closer.

"The usual?" She asked, tying her apron behind her slim back.

"Yes please." He smiled.

Lola her coworker gently pulled her back whispering with excitement in her voice.

"You're so lucky Marielle!" Her coworker squealed stealing glances at the man who was busy smoking outside their shop.

"What do you mean?" The clueless Marielle asked.

Lola sighed pulling her closer.

"That man always comes here whenever your shift starts!" She added squealing once more.

Marielle didn't care and continued to make his usual.

A tall hot coffee americano.

Adding steamed milk and 3 packets of brown sugar. He sure has taste!

With this exact order, he comes in this store almost every single day.

That's why even Marielle who has a poor memory can't seem to forget him.

Lola ran to her hiding behind her back shyly.

"Here's your order, have a good one." Marielle smiled extending her arms with his coffee on her hand.

"Thanks." He smiled.

"How good life would be with him by your side!" Lola cheerfully said, twirling around the cafe.

"His around 6'2 in height and with that wide back many girls fall for him i'm sure of it!!" She added.

"Lola? Continue your work now~" She laughed wiping the marbled table with wet cloth.

"Yes ma'am~" Lola giggled.

12:00 pm

"It's very busy today!"

People began to enter the cafe one after another, until a long line was made reaching the pedestrian across the street.

"Your coffee's always the best Marielle!" Lola chuckled while carrying a tray full of coffee.

Marielle smiled and continued to work.

2:00 pm

Marielle shift was finally over, her other coworker Rika came.

"Good afternoon Marielle! Lola!" Her beaming smile made the two less tired.

"How beautiful your smile is~" Lola added, serving the two a cold glass of lemon juice.

"Thanks!" They both said.

"I'm so lucky to have coworkers as good looking as you two!" She teased sitting beside them chatting.

"Oh please~ if we're talking about looks Marielle's taking the crown!" Rika chuckled glancing at Marielle who was busy drinking her juice.

"You two are good looking too.." Marielle added, smiling at the two girls.

"Look at the time, I have to go. See you tomorrow ladies." Marielle stood fixing her bag.

"Thanks boss!" They both answered waving goodbye.

💭 I should raise their salaries..

Marielle smiled glancing back at the two happily chatting.

The moment she left the store, her face immediately turned dark.

In a distance was a man wearing full suit fairly good looking and tall. With a cute woman with his arms resting over her shoulder.

If you look at it, they seem to be a young couple in love. A perfect pair.

💭 Would you look at that.

💭 Two birds ready to mate, how disgusting.

She shook her head with fuming with anger as she crossed the street.

"Who are those two?" The man from before asked his assistant beside him.

Glancing at Marielle who's face turned sour.

"Please wait a moment sir." His assistant replied, scrolling through his tablet.

"It seems to be her husband and his mistress." He added, showing a picture of their resume.

"They both work at -" The man gestured him to stop.

"Follow Marielle." His tone changed.

Marielle who was still walking around the streets entered a large hotel. Gold blue a luxurious hotel owned by the Lyncht family.

Michael's POV

💭 Where is she going?

He thought as he continued to glance at her through his car's window.

The guards seemed to have welcomed her with utmost respect, but Michael didn't pay no mind to it.

The moment he opened his door, her husband and mistress also headed inside the hotel.

His face turned black gritting his teeth with anger.

"Sir, you still have a meet-" His assistant added.

But the man cannot be stopped, as his face was already fixated.

As he walked outside a group of women squealed within the sight of him.

"Hey handsome!" One of the girls approached him grabbing his arm without his knowledge,Michael shoved her hand off showing hostility.

The girls backed off, pulling the girl with them.

💭 Were is she?

He thought looking around the luxurious hotel.

"Can i assist you sir?" A woman asked, gesturing her hand.

"Did you see that woman who entered earlier?" He asked, forcing a fake smile in his face.

"Can you please elaborate sir?"

"She wore this dark colored coat with her hair tied." He explained.

Until he saw the couple about to enter the elevator.

"I'm sorry sir, but the lady you we're describing is not here." She explained.

"Alright, thank you." He smiled, leaving the lady behind.

The elevator door was about to close when he place his hand between.

"Sorry." He smiled, glancing at the two who we're hugging intimately.

"Honey, look at him!" The girl whispered glancing at Michael.

"I'm good looking too!" He replied with jealousy hidden in his voice.

"Of course~" She teased pinching his cheek.

💭 Disgusting pigs.

*Ting level 6

Michael left the elevator as he saw Marielle in a distance.

The two also left, holding each other lovingly.

Michael ran towards Marielle who was busy talking to a waiter beside the pool.

"Lady, would you like a champagne?" The waiter respectfully asked.

"Maybe later." Marielle replied.

"I'll place it in your favorite spot." The waiter added, smiling at her.

Michael's expression was about to slip when Marielle looked back.

"Oh?" Marielle smiled, waving at him.

"The lady at the cafe?" Michael acted surprised, gesturing his hand to assist Marielle beside the pool.

Marielle took his hand and smiled once more.

"I'm Michael Bakt Veltore." He smiled, pulling the chair beside him.

"Thank you." Marielle nodded.

"Marielle Poltair." She added.

"Nice to meet you."
