At the same time, the ding on the lift was ringing. The door opened, Mitchy and Gordon walked out and stopped by Spencer's table. "Mr. Spencer, do you keep my cake?" Mitchy asked excitedly.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Theodore." I shook his hand with a big smile."Hi Theo," he said, returning my handshake. "Please, sit."I sat down and faced the owner of this cafe. I tried to make a memorable first impression on him. I gave him the file that I brought."I saw a vacancy at this cafe, so I decided to apply." I explained briefly."Are you doing anything else out there?" The owner of the cafe looked at me sternly."Nothing; I have graduated, so I am now focused on working and taking care of my mother.""Oh okay. Here they work per shift, so the working hours are probably 5 to 6 hours." He linked his fingers on the table, which made him look more dignified. "The salary is 10 US dollars per hour. How?""Yes, no problem. I do," I answered confidently.I have no choice but to work and raise money for my mother's treatment."Okay, then starting tomorrow you can start working, Theo." The owner tidied up my files and then stood up from his seat.I stood up and replied, "Tha
Twenty-two years ago...A sparkling world that was always dazzling and made everyone fall into it. Tonight, a man was seen sitting alone in one of the front seats of the bar. It hasn't been 30 minutes since the man sat there, but there are already three empty bottles lined up in front of him.The man, who was about to turn 30, looked frustrated and sad. This could be seen from the way he sipped and finished every bottle of beer served. "Give me one more bottle." He shouted loudly while raising his index finger while tipsy.Without saying much, the bartender opened a bottle of beer with a 30% alcohol content in front of the man. In a matter of minutes, he gulped down the fourth bottle. Instantly, his head hung limply with his hand still holding the bottle of drink."ARGH!!!" He groaned as he banged the bottle on the table.Several eyes that were surprised by his groan turned and stared at the man with a sneer. They began to talk about him,
My cell phone alarm has been ringing for a few minutes. My ears heard it fine, but my consciousness refused to open my eyes. My left hand tried to find it and grabbed it, before my eyes slowly opened.At 07:27 AM. "Oh snap! I have to get up now," I muttered, immediately straightening up. My body was feeling sore from having to sleep sitting in front of the emergency room. I blinked my eyes several times before I stepped into the hospital bathroom. I washed my face and tidied my hair. I didn't have time to go home and clean up. I immediately ran to the cafe where I work."Come on, I can't be late on my first day of work." I decided not to ride a vehicle and chose to walk.Another five hundred meters, I would arrive while the time was already 07:58 AM. The pedestrian lights were still red and the cars were still hurtling down at top speed."Come on, hurry up." I mumbled while beating-tap my feet to the ground.The sound of the lights rang and my feet stepped swiftly. However, who would
Before my question got its answer, suddenly the cafe bell rang. A couple customers went in and were followed by a woman. I took a glance, and at the same time, my co-workers were calling me."Theo, can you help me?" He asked in front of the other customers.I looked back at Mr. Hawthorne and said, "I am sorry, Mr. I need to go back to work. Nice to talk with you." I stood up and took a bow in front of him."Theo," he called me again."Yes, sir" I asked quickly because I really needed to go back to work."Please contact my assistant later. I invite you for dinner tomorrow." Mr. Hawthorne said while standing up and bringing his drink.I didn’t even have a chance to answer; he just walked away, passing by me. I didn't have time to chase him because my co-workers started looking at me with his death glare. I ran back to the bar and helped him with the orders. Mr. Hawthorne's sentences made me unable to focus on my work."Axel, take this to table number three." My co-workers kept asking me
I was too stunned when Mr. Hawthorne announced that I was his stepson. Instantly, I looked at Mr. Hawthorne with an uncomfortable feeling. "Mr. Hawthorne, are you kidding me?""No, Theo. Haven't you read my message?" Mr. Hawthorne furrowed his eyebrows in the middle."No, it's not like that. It is just...""Honey, what did you just say?" Victoria stood up from her seat and chuckled a little. "You're kidding, right? Our only son is Spencer." Victoria pointed at their son, Spencer, who was sitting pretty in front of her.Mr. Hawthorne took his hand off me and walked over to his wife. The dining table atmosphere became so uncomfortable. This was not the dinner I expected; I have not even had time to touch the cutlery on the table. I glanced at Spencer, who was looking at me with distaste."Honey, I'm sorry." Mr. Hawthorne put his arm around his wife's waist and then whispered something.Victoria made an annoyed face and then pushed her husband away. "You're lying, right?""Victoria, I'm s
We walked in together and stopped in front of the receptionist. "Where is her room?" Mr. Hawthorne glanced at me."It is over there." I gestured to the left corridor."Alright." Mr. Hawthorne nodded his head and followed my direction.When we passed some of the nurses and the doctor, they bowed and greeted Mr. Hawthorne.I was surprised when everyone recognized and paid respects to Mr. Hawthorne. "What an extraordinary person this is!" I muttered to myself."Over here, sir." I pointed at an emergency room door.Mr. Hawthorne stopped and stared through the half-covered glass that covered the emergency room. I stood behind Mr. Hawthorne and fell silent as he stared at her. Suddenly a nurse came and looked at Mr. Hawthorne, who looked like he wanted to enter."Mr. Hawthorne," said the nurse politely."Good night." Mr. Hawthorne returned and looked at him. "Sorry, I just wanted to see my friend." Mr. Hawthorne added"What, Mr. Hawthorne, wants to come in?" The nurse offered it to him."Can
