Chapter 2

• "I'm sorry, come again?" she asked, trying to hide her embarrassment. She scanned the menu she was holding, distracting her embarrassed stature.
• "After we eat, let's inquire about the vacancy as a service crew. What do you think?" Odette exclaimed.
• She lifted up her head and looked at her best friend, "Yes, so we better order now because I heard my stomach rumbling," she said, giggling.
• "Alright," her friend answered.
• Emmie turned her head to look for a waiter when the man wearing the Lacoste white t-shirt she saw earlier stood next to her. Now she could see the guy from a closer angle.
• He's really handsome with his round black eyes. Not to mention that his t-shirt perfectly fits his sturdy chest which shows his firm arms. Some of his veins showed up from his hand while he held a piece of paper and pen.
• "Emmie, Em.." Again she felt the hands of Oddette which brought her back to reality. She felt embarrassed in front of her best friend and the guy standing in front of them. She wished the earth would open up and swallow her from embarrassment.
• "I'm sorry," she apologized and bowed her head.
• "It's okay, it isn't my first time experiencing a lady that’s mesmerized by my looks," the man confidently uttered.
• Her face turned into a frown, raising one of her eyebrows. She was indeed captivated by his beauty and even apologized however, she found him full of himself.
• She immediately gave her order of a solo margarita pizza and a glass of tea while Oddette ordered seafood pizza and soda.
• After the man took their order, he left to attend the other customers. He mentioned that the food will arrive in half an hour prior to cooking.
• Emmie didn't think he was the waiter in the shop, taking orders and standing to greet the customers. He
• She didn't have any idea that the man was a waiter, standing in front of them and taking their orders. But why is he not wearing a uniform? And where is the man he is talking to earlier on the other table. She looked at the table where the man was seated before, It's already empty but three women went inside and occupied the place where the man occupied it earlier.
• "So did you advertise the room for rent in your house?" Oddette asked.
• "Not yet, and regarding that can you help me?" She asked her back.
• "Sure, after this job hunting." She giggled. Actually even if Oddette will not find a job, It's not a big problem to her. Her parents have a small convenience store in front of their house while Odette's big brother was a seaman. He's five years older than Oddette who sends them money monthly,according to Oddette. Actually she is the only reason why her best friend was in job hunting like her. She's enjos accompanying her. She saw the man coming to the table where the three women were sitting. She can see how the three were smiling at him, and he's smiling back. They even laughed, which irritated her. She didn't know why, but she felt annoyed looking at those people. The man seems to enjoy how those women flirt with him. She feels like she wants to throw anything that she's holding at the moment.
• "Em.. Emmie, are you okay?" She's back to her consciousness when Oddette calls her name. She shifted her gaze to her best friend. She saw that Oddette was looking at her hand so she looked at herself, she was completely unaware that she already crumpled the menu. She rapidly stretched out the paper. She was startled and tense when she heard the voice of the man serving their order.
• "It's okay Ms. you can leave it there. Later when it's closing time, we're going to fix that." The baritone voice is like a melody to her ears. She swallowed her saliva before she spoke.
• "Excuse me, where's your washroom?" Rather she asked as she rose up from the chair. It's her way to escape from embarrassment.
• "Just go straight to the counter and turn left." The man answered her. After he continues putting down their orders, she immediately leaves them. But before she reaches the counter she needs to pass by the three women. She can even hear their conversation.
• "He's so hot."
• "Yes, you are right."
• "Hey don't be ambitious, you know that I brought you here because I met him first before you bitches. Bear in mind that he's mine. I will rip alive whoever takes him from me." She can't help not to look back at the woman who says those last words. She got scared when she saw that the woman who said those was also looking at her, She swiftly went to the washroom. She took a deep breath as she entered the washroom, but not even a minute pass she heard a knock from behind. The more she felt tense. She's now blaming herself why she even turned her head to that group, why she got curious who said those last words. Now she's in trouble. Who would save her? She puts herself in a difficult situation. She's trembling while washing her hand and immediately opens the door and she's surprised to see who's standing outside the door.
