1 Why Me

"Sir do you want anything else, we have special juices in the evening, do you want to try some?" I said to the customer who came to the cafeteria with his cute little girl and pregnant wife.

The little girl looks like she is six to seven years old and she is soo beautiful with a small ponytail, almond brown eyes, blond hair, and pink cheeks.

The child said to her dad " Dad I want some, please", He replied with a bright smile" Of course darling, which flavor do you want....I know, my princess love chocolate and strawberry right!" she nods, she looks adorable with that cute smile.

He added" Let's take vanilla for mom", she hurriedly said " Dad, baby loves chocolate" her dad stroke her hair agreeing.

Their conversation made me smile unknowingly, their love is so attractive, the child turned to my side and rose on her heels as the counter desk is a bit high and said" Brother, can you please pack them, my mom drinks in-car", I gave her a big cheerful smile saying" Ah, ah I will do as my mam says, mam do you know, you are looking like a real princess!!". She blushes for my complement...such a cute girl.

I packed everything as they ordered, handed over cover to her dad, she waved her hand saying BYE, I too felt so happy to see their family, One day I will also have such a cute family with a cute baby to take care of, I left in my thoughts then I noticed one new customer came so I am back to work.

He is taller than me, he has his ID card named Seungmin, by the way, he is dressed one can say that he works in some IT company, he hurriedly said " Can you please hurry and deliver these hamburgers and also these cupcakes to that private room, give these to him as fast as you can, please!!" he pointed his fingers at all the red velvet cakes and then towards one of the private room presents near my counter.

But actually, we have rules, and one of them is 'One must take their own order to their table themselves' because we have lots of customers if we serve then that delays packing of requested food for other customers so I pointed to show him the rule written on the mainboard and it is highlighted too, I said " Sir but we have.." he spoke without me finishing "Yes I know, but please understand, I am really in hurry" and he left just like that.

What? Does he have manners? Okay maybe, he is in hurry for real! I arranged everything as he requested and the private room is nothing but a separate room at one corner of the cafeteria, it contains a glass door and glass walls, so one can see what's going on inside, most people who discuss business matters, etc take that place to have meetings as their will be no disturbances. I knocked on the door saying" May I get in, your order is here?"

I flinched at the response, someone shouted "GET IN" from inside, it is too unfriendly, maybe someone is mad, I didn't expect such a response and I noticed all other customers got disturbed so I apologized and entered. I saw a person with a side part, classy hairstyle, black blazer, and neat slim ankle fit pants... I really admire him, he is sooo handsome, his face is so shinny, but his earlobes are all red, maybe he is so angry.

Suddenly he threw his phone which he was swiping through just a while ago, without even making eye contact he threw all the plates which I brought to the ground, then came towards me and gave a HARD SLAP. That made me dizzy, I almost fell down.

My mind felt absent for that instant, just a slap echoed the whole room, even people outside are staring at us two through glass walls, I am in utter shock,... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?? He raised his head to look at me, I am cleaning blood which was due to gum bleeding because of a hard slap. I can see his angriness is fading away as his earlobes are now normal, But still, I admire his handsomeness, his eyes are dark blue, his face has a sharp chin, his appearance is soo eyecatching.

He is expressionless but said one sentence with a loud voice which made me dumbfounded "Just who on earth allowed you in??"

I raised my head in shock " Sir, didn't you allow me, but why did you just....just hit me?" I asked in a confused tone, he is looking into my brown eyes, then I asked in apologizing tone "Sir, what did I do wrong?" while my manager Jung doo came running and said" Sorry sir, we have done wrong!! Hey Daehyun just clean the mess you have done and just go, get lost!!" he literally screamed at me, shoved me out of the room and closed the door behind.

I really don't understand what's wrong with all of them !!

I brought some snacks and entered in again to clean the mess he created, I started to clean, I can hear that they are talking casually but...I still can feel the pain. Maybe his fingerprints can be seen clearly, it really is painful, my dad is the only one who used to slap me, even his hardest slap won't be this painful... I just can't do anything..... I completed cleaning, went near him I can see he is totally normal now, I bowed and said "Sir sorry for my mistake, so please forgive me, I will take my leave" then I quickly came out and went to the washroom to look at my condition.

I can clearly see that my left cheek is covered fully with 5 red fingerprints, he is really powerful and strong, one can say by his appearance that he is some CEO or some director, I really don't know why these all happened but I must get back to my work, while I am leaving I just touched there.....GOD, IT REALLY HURTS, I don't know why all of this happened, it is like being humiliated in front of many people.

Then I came to my counter and the manager is already standing there, he said "Daehyun, I am really sorry in place of him, it must be painful,.. he is strong" I nod, he tried to touch me but I escaped because it hurts when touched, he continued "your fair face is now spoiled,... Actually, he is RACE Multinational company CEO, and this cafeteria's owner, he comes here often but I think you are not aware right?"

I nod again, yes, I didn't know that he is this rich, "He comes here whenever he has to discuss with his clients, but today his assistant messed up, which resulted in him losing his important project, so he is angry!!"

Okay, but what does that have to do with me, am I the reason his project is lost....no no not at all, then why??, I asked the manager " Sir, but what did I do? Is it because, before some guy came and ordered and he wasted time talking to me, so that resulted in a delay, so clients withdraw their projects?? ... But this doesn't make sense sir, didn't he just leave outside after talking to me???

The manager started to laugh even before I finish my sentences, But wait, I am serious, is it FUNNY TO YOU ALL!!! why is he laughing sooo much... then he said" Hey, you are really something, he is angry at you because...
