she called out from the kitchen. She was washing the dishes on a Saturday night on her second shift today, she was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to be in her bed.

On Saturday evenings she worked at Exclusive Bar and Grill, the name of the restaurant said it all, she was not a fan of working there but the tips were always the best as she often would be waitressing and most of the customers that came there were upper-middle-class and up.

Abby was a petit blonde with hazel eyes and a cheerful face. She is kind, caring and timid. This often lead to her being looked down on and bullied, she is not the kind of person to "rock the boat" she often avoided confrontation by apologising even if she wasn't in the wrong.

she is often bossed around and given the jobs, her co-workers did not want to do and she would do so without any complaints. behind her back, they called her "sorry abs" she was especially targeted by another waitstaff called Suzy, mostly because she always thought that Abby was purposely making her look bad in front of the manager. However, Abby was just a hardworking girl who always put her all into whatever she was doing and often people recognised that and would praise her.

"ABBY"

"Yes, Mr Jin, coming" she yelled out while drying her hands.

she ran out of the kitchen to the manager's office.

*in an English accent*

"Jess just called in sick, I will need you out there taking orders, James the kitchen hand will be here soon, go tidy up and look presentable, we have important guests here tonight, make sure to smile, any issues notify me straight away'

"Yes sir, thank you, Mr Jin" she bowed slightly and left the office and headed to the staff room.

in the staff room, Abby changed her uniform, fixed her hair, and applied a bit of make before putting on her apron.

she took one last look at herself in the mirror, as she was about to walk out she turned around, started looking in her bag, and took out a little pink bottle of perfume, sprayed herself before putting it back in her bag and grabbing a little purple bottle of mouth spray and walked out.

Abby was at the counter scanning the restaurant when Suzy came up to her and told her she would be responsible for the left side of the outdoor tables, she nodded at Suzy before grabbing her iPad and heading outside.

When she went outside she saw that she only had 3 tables with seated customers, so she thought to herself 'i might not get much in tips tonight but at least I won't be running around"

*table 1*

With a kind smile, she walked up to the older couple chatting and joking around with each.

"Hi, welcome EBG, my name is Abby I'll be your server tonight, 'are you guys ready to order?'

lady: I will have another lychee cocktail and my husband will have another whiskey dry.

She typed their table number on the Ipad and put through their drinks, she moved on to appetisers

she asked ' Have you had a chance to look at the menu and would you guys like an appetiser to start or are you ready to order your mains?

man: We will have the triple-deck combo, but instead of the premium squid pieces, can we get spring rolls, my wife is crazy about them, he laughed as he said it like it was an inside joke that only he and his wife knew.

The wife wife laughed along before ordering their mains

okay! sir and madam that's all done, appetiser should be out in the next 10 mins, enjoy!!

Ding!

she had a notification from table 2, she went over to the table of 4, they were ready to order, she took all their orders and messaged the bartender regarding their drinks before sending through all their orders, once she was done she went back to the counter and enquired about the wait times, desserts and specials for tonight so if her customers asked she would have an answer for them.

She then walked back to her area to serve her last table which had 5 young men, who were a bit loud and rough around the edges but she understood that they were probably from well off families and would have to be tolerant and patient. So before she went to their table she took a deep breath and walked over with a big smile..

Hi welcome to EBG, my name is Abby i will be your server tonight, are you guys ready to order?

as she was finishing her introduction, one of the men who had curly hair and an unkept beard said under his breath "you can serve me any night " and the rest of them giggled while looking at each before turning to Abby and ordering their drinks and next they ordered appetisers, 2x Triple-deck combo, which came with buffalo wings, bruschetta and premium squid pieces and 2x cheesy garlic breads.

while entering the last of their appetiser she had this weird uncomfortable feeling, that gave her shivers, like someone was looking at her with lustful and hungry eyes.

She wanted to take the rest of their order so she can leave, so she raised her head with a smile and said "and for your mains what would you like?"

one of the other men with blue eyes wearing a neat grey suit with very shinny hair started to look at the menu again and as he was about to order another men with brown hair near his shoulders with dark eyes and a creepy grin interrupted and said "actually we are still waiting for one more person, we will order our mains when he is here"

Omg! why? i have to come back to this table again, where i am looked at like a piece of meat, ugh their looks make me feel so dirty, this is probably why Suzy gave me this area, she thought to herself.

She went back to her post where she was observing the restaurant and waiting for the bartender to call her over to help with taking drinks to tables, she had a feeling someone was staring at her intensely, she could not shake the feeling so she went out back for a quick drink of water, she came back saw a notification for drinks at the bar she went there and since it was for table 3 she decided to take them with her on her way to her area to help out the bartender. As she was handing the drinks out she kept getting "accidentally groped" by the men, who would touch her arms, hips and ass and instantly apologise, she felt so uncomfortable but there was nothing she could do so she just put up with it.
