Vol 1: Ch 39 - El & Lyn and Family Restaurant

Early morning, the family are slowly waking up one by one, the couple En and Mei who's the one assigned to cook for today are almost done for their foods meanwhile the other family members are now taking a bath and preparing themselves to be ready. The kids are already seating on the couch and now waiting for Mei/Mom to signal that the breakfast is ready.

After minutes passed by, once again Mei, En, Lyn, and Rei are on the way to where they are going. They drop off Rei and the kids first at the same place where they dropped them off yesterday while Mei turns the Van into another side after making sure that they got inside the premises in a safe. Rei enters her working place with the kids and her co-workers are still on the way because they didn't get called by their Manager for a meeting like what happened yesterday. Rei greeted some of her co-workers before going to her desk, she sits from her seat and grabs something from her backpack then looking at the kids while giving instruction.

"Kids all of you can rest under my desk and if you want to sleep, you can sleep" Rei put neatly one of the sheets on the tiled floor "all of you can come here now" the kids' approach and now seating on that sheet while she said to the kids "and here (give another sheet) use it if you're getting cold" then suddenly Lynel as the youngest one well Ellyn is also a youngest but she is so chic that you cannot tell that she's also the youngest while Lynel is the one who really childish that observe her Auntie and suddenly laughing and giggling "He, he, he"

"And what's wrong Lynel?"

"You're really like a mother to us, Auntie Rei"

"Oh, so it means I'm qualified to be a mother now?"

"Uh-uh" all of them agreed without hesitation.

"Well let's see what's with your Auntie's future for that and we will see how will become as a Mother then."

"Auntie Rei your kids will be really lucky to have you as a mother of them."

"Uh-uh, but Ken I think Auntie is luckier if I will have kids in the future. Okay, okay stop that one, and now if all of you feel hungry just ask Auntie, alright?"

"Uh-uh"

Rei still squatting under her desk and her jealous co-workers just arrive that didn't see her interactions with the kids.

"Oh, what a scene?" commented out loud about Rei since she didn't see her when she entered then continue "I never expect that Ms. Rei will be late today or perhaps she's still rolling on the bed with her man."

"Yeah and for sure that Early Bird will be late today"

"Just because the three of you that almost got late today, don't drag Ms. Rei to be like the three of you, okay?"

"Then where's Ms. Rei, Mr. Do? You're always defending her, so where your innocent Ms. Rei, or wait she's not innocent anymore, so how come you're still defending here?"

Rei who just instructing and talking to the kids who happened to heard them and suddenly getting up while interrupting them "Oh, I never thought they will be a day that Ms. Meng, Ms. Li, and Ms. Zhang will miss me. And thanks for that Mr. Do"

"Y----you, since when did you arrive?"

Rei didn't answer them but instead remind them because she didn't hear that they punching their time cards yet. "1 minute left before 10 minutes of Time Allowance after 8"

"What?" Then the three of them who realize what it is are now automatically walking where the bonding clock located and all of them hurriedly punching in but because the three of them got trouble who will punch in first, they waste the 1 minute left and the three of them who will be not late if they give way are now all late by 5 minutes since they argue and argue who will be the first one to punch but then stop when Manager Xia scold them.

"What are you arguing about? The bonding clock will not run away from the three of you, okay"

All of the co-workers who witness them suddenly laugh silently including the kids that they can picture it out them even though they didn't see it.

All of them thought including the kids 'how come the three of them got hired if they're acting like this?'

------------------

Rei did the same routine of what she's doing from yesterday by bringing the kids to her workplace, to the cafeteria, let them sleep if they're sleepy, and waking them up if she's already done working. Rei always did the same thing for almost a week and now, 2 hours before 5 pm, they have 30 minutes break, and that all of them are now seating on the couch while eating a burger with drinks sponsored by their company. Rei's fellow co-workers are talking about something that Rei almost forgot that tomorrow will be the opening of their first family restaurant.

"Hey, hey guys tomorrow is the opening of that shop"

"Right, right and they already have signage of the shop. How fast it is? Imagine a week before is still only a building without occupant and now they're already preparing for the opening tomorrow"

"Those two pretty ladies must be really a rich heiress and the two of them must be a sibling since the name of the shop is EL & LYN AND FAMILY RESTAURANT"

"Yeah, yeah but you know what? The Van that always parking near the said shop who's only opposite to us looks quite familiar, right?"

'Ha, ha of course it really looks familiar because you always see me that I got drop off and pick up by that van with the kids. And no they're not siblings but rather they're in-laws and that two ladies are the mother of these kids' Rei answered by her mind only.

"So let's try it tomorrow after our work, okay?"

"Yeah right"

"Count me in" all of them agreed and Rei didn't answer so one of them asks her.

"By the way Ms. Rei how about you, are you coming with us?"

"Ha, ha, ha, as if she will go with us and I bet she will be picking up again, so rather than coming with us, she's more willing to be with her man."

"Just mind your own business Ms. Meng you're an heiress but how come you can't compare to that two pretty ladies who seems the owners of that restaurant?" all of them already see Mei and Lyn faces because their shop is just an opposite direction from them so they're many chances to see them like when they're on a break or during lunchtime that they will go out.

"You're right Mr. Do, Ms. Meng is like nothing compared to them while Ms. Rei can compete with them fairly"

After hearing this, the kids who just listening to them and seating beside Rei on the couch, can't help but reacts and suddenly laughing that they forgot their Family Rules.

"Ha, ha, ha"

"What's wrong kids?" all of them are now chatting to the kids except for the three ladies because the four of them don't like them and will not talk or replied to them, well we already know why.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li what are you talking awhile ago?"

"I said Ms. Rei can compete with those two ladies, and who you are again?"

"Geez Mr. Li, its Ren, Ren"

"Oops sorry, sorry because you and your brother is really look alike"

"Well duh of course it is Mr. Li and since when did you see that the identical twins having different faces?"

"Speaking of you Ms. Ru, can you recognize who is who?"

"Of course it easy, the quiet one is Ken while Ren is the talkative, right?" They nodded "See, I'm right"

"Stop it Ms. Ru and Mr. Li but for now Ren why are you asking Mr. Li to repeat it again?"

"Well, I'm just wondering if Mom can really compete with them."

Rei and the other kids amaze by Ren's reason because he didn't mention who is Mom and them but they know what he means except for Rei's co-workers because they taught Ren is talking about Rei as his Mom.

"Of course it is your Mom were talking about, she's really pretty and can compete to them fairly"

"Oh, thanks Mr. Zhang"

"By the way, Ms. Rei, are you going there tomorrow?"

"Uh-uh, I will" and continued to her mind only 'how come I will not come? And of course, it's my family's first shop after all, so my presence is needed.'

They still chat but then they heard two voices reminding them "3 minutes" everyone look and now know who it is.

"Ha, ha, Ken and Ellyn if both of you will be always like that and always so serious, someday you will become like Mrs. Min here" both just shrugged them off while Mrs. Min react.

"Hey, hey, what do you mean by that Mr. Do?"

"Nothing"

Rei looking at Ken and ask "getting bored?"

"Nah, I'm just happy," said while smiling that cause all the ladies except Rei to squeal including Ms. Meng, Ms. Li, and Ms. Zhang

"Oh My Gosh, you're so handsome Ken" squealed Rei females co-workers

"Ha, ha too bad for all of you because Ken is still a little boy and young while all of you already old ladies" retorted the male workers.

"Shut up"

Rei who looks to her fellow co-workers don't know if she will cry or laugh but then called the kids "now, now come here kids, and let them be like that" the kids approach their Auntie and the others react at the same time

"Ms. Rei you're such a meanie"
