Chapter 2 Two

The shop was so crowded today with no break. Sasha and I were so drained and to top it all up, we hadn't had anything to eat. It's against the cafe rule to eat while on duty unless it's our break time and we still have a few minutes before the break. I think I'm gonna collapse if I don't find something to eat.

The customer was leaving finally and there was less work. Sasha stared at me and said " I'm tired "

" me too"

We went back to the counter after serving all the customers. I use that moment to have some coffee. I need it in my system right now.

There was a new customer, the door opened and he came inside. I've seen that face somewhere but I can't put a picture to it it all made sense now. The bus. The same green-eyed man I saw on the bus this morning. He walked in majestically like he owned the place. He finds a spot to sit. I couldn't stop looking at him.

I was enticed by him. The way he walks and the way he composes himself. I never knew he was this handsome. I didn't take much time to stare at him well in the bus but there was something that caught my attention and that was his cologne. I didn't make mention of it cos I'd look too creepy.

Sasha slightly hit my should "Hey" she said and I turned at her

" you've been staring for too long," she said and I blushed slightly " Did the handsome man over there catch your attention or something ?" She teased

I rolled my eyes " I saw him in the boss today "

She furrowed her brows " In the boss? How is that possible "

" why? You think I'm lying ?"

She shook her head " Not that. The thing is I've seen posters of this man before. He is one of the youngest millionaires in town and that was the picture the boss gave to me. He is the visitor we'll be attending to. His friends must be on the way" she said

I can't believe he is a millionaire. Why will a millionaire enter the bus with people like us? I don't believe it. I'm sure she's mistaken.

" let's get to work," she said

I furrowed my brows " But what do you mean get to work? His friends aren't here yet " I pointed out and she rolled her eyes " That seat isn't the VIP seat. We need to take him to the right seat "

I groaned "Please take him instead "

She folded her arms over her chest and gave me a straight face " Nope, I'm not going to let that happen. You must face your fear. I don't even understand why you are scared to attend to him or wait ...." She strained her eyes at me "Did you do anything bad to him "

I shook my head immediately " I didn't do anything. Nothing at all, I helped myself today. You know it's hard for me not to fight but I was impressed I didn't when he asked me to move to the next chair in the bus "

She didn't look like she believed me but then she said " I'll attend to him for now but when his friend comes remember we are going the serve together "

I gave her a thumbs up " I promise. I will do anything you ask me to do. Thanks a lot " I almost hugged her but she pushed past me. I chuckled but waved at her.

Debra is one hell of a friend trust me. She is one of the people that mean a lot to me. She doesn't make me feel lonely at work. We talk a lot about our lives and her family issue is just like mine. I think that's one of the reasons why she understands me so well.

Sasha on the other hand came from a Rich background. She has everything she wants. Her father is one of the richest people in the state and they are so kind to me. My dad once worked for Sasha's dad before he died. It saddens me whenever I remember him.

I stared at the table Debra went to and she said something to the man. He stared at her to listen to what she had to say. I was trying to watch his body language. He is so calm and collected. He got up and followed her to the VIP areas but something else happened.

The said man stared at the counter and then our eyes met. I couldn't move my eyes. He caught me staring at him. I saw something like a smirk tugging up on his lips but it was fast enough for me to apprehend. He went into the VIP area. I was breathing fast. He saw me staring. God! How am I going to serve him after what just happened? He must see me as a creep. I'm so sure about that. Rich men like his will always see someone like me as a creep. I'm no match for him and will never be.

I took in a deep breath trying not to get carried away by my shame. I feel so ashamed for shamelessly staring at him. I warned myself to come off it. I have a boyfriend and he loves me and I love him too. Tristen loves me so much and I know he is going to propose soon so why was I so drawn to this man?

Harry approached the counter with an empty plate he packed from the table. He is one of the workers here too and he is also a friend.

" Hi Tracy," he said and dropped the plate on the counter.

I smiled at him "How are you? It seems you are busy today"

He rolled his eyes "We've all been busy. Heard you have some important people to attend too soon"

I shouldn't be surprised that the news has spread. One would think these people that are coming are so special. I felt the need to ask "Why is everyone so concerned about the people coming? One of them is here already "

He stared behind him to see if anyone was coming but when he found known, he leaned a little and said "That man you see is the talk of the town. He is very rich but doesn't show it "

I furrowed my brows confused " Why does it look as though I'm the only one who doesn't know about this man"

He rolled his eyes " That's because you are so reserved and don't go out like we used to. You spend most of your day indoors after work and then what do you expect? You don't have some time to check that magazine where you'll find people like him "

"Who cares about them? All that matters to me is money and nothing else " I said with an eye roll

He shook his head "This is why you'll grow wrinkle being single "

" I have a boyfriend remember "I pointed that out. They all know Tristan. He most of the time comes here to pick me up so it's not a new thing that they know about him.

" I don't think it's going anywhere. You two have been together for like what? Four years ?"

I was hurt by his words" Whatever. I thought you have somewhere to be " I said harshly and he caught on. Harry realized his mistake and said " I'll be going now "

My mood changes instantly. I can't believe they all didn't believe in my relationship with Tristan. Why would they think the relationship isn't going anywhere? I know deep down that Tristan loves me and I love him too. He promised to be with me forever and planned to marry me.

I know things have been a little hard for him which is why he hasn't got the right diamond ring he always wants to get. I don't want to put too much pressure on him. I'm still in school and will be graduating college in the next few months. I can at least get a good job too.

" Tracey" I was so deep in my thought that I didn't realize Debra was standing in front of the counter. I forced a smile and said "Hey"

She furrowed her brows at me "Hope all is well with you, you seem to be in deep thought "

I waved it off " It's nothing serious. So how did it go "

" his friends are here too. They came in through the other door " she said

I knew what was to come next. I'm sure it's time to serve them. I can't imagine for how long I'd be standing. The rules applies that we stand while they have their food just in case they might need anything.

I groaned " Why must we serve them "

" the rule is the rule," she said with an encouraging smile "Let's get this over and done with "

I pouted " ok whatever. What are we serving them first ?"

I'm sure they would like some drink first before their food is ready.

"Yeah, they want some coffee. I took the order to the kitchen. It will be out in a few seconds " she explained "We'll take the coffee to them and then take the remaining of their other"
