30 Ch. 30

After a week, I need to get back to my work. I went downstairs and took a banana. I don't have appetite in the morning so banana will do. I began walking towards the café. I saw Mia. "Good morning, Mia!" I greeted her and she greeted back. We started cleaning and she turn the sign 'close' to 'open'. "So, how are you and Ethan?" she asked then I smiled. "We're together." I said and she squealed. "Wah! So that ring means you're engage?" she said I mentally face palmed. "No, he gave this to me as a promise ring. Now you know, quit with that topic." I said and she laughed. I suddenly heard my phone rang. I saw the ID caller named 'Uncle William'. I picked it up.

Uncle OTP: Sophie, can we meet? I have something to tell you.

Sophie OTP: I'm at work right now uncle. Why so sudden? Is there something wrong?

Uncle OTP: No, there is nothing wrong. I just have to tell you something. Something you wanted to hear.

Sophie OTP: Uh, I can't really go out right now. My manager might be angry. I've been out for 2 weeks. What if we meet here in the café?

Uncle OTP: Sounds great! I'm heading to the café. I'll call Ethan. I need him to be there too.

Sophie: oh, okay I'll be waiting

He hung up and go back to the customers. "Who was that?" Mia asked while encoding the food they ordered. I made the orders. After several minutes, we both heard the door opened, revealing Ethan. "Ahem, go now. Entertain your boy, girl right there might get him." Mia said, pointing towards the fans in the corner. I immediately went to him and snatch him away from their sights. We took a table near the counter. "Wait here. I'll get you your favorite frappe." He smiled, "You really know me that well" he winked and I showed him a disgusted face. He laughed. "Go give me some!" he said and I walked towards the counter. I made him a frappe. Then I took my money from my wallet and paid it. "Here, Mr. Smith." I politely said and took a seat. "Why did uncle called us here?" he then asked me. "He said he wanted to tell us something." The door clicked and looked at the person. "Uncle, here" we waved at him and he walked towards our direction. I stood up and sat beside Ethan. "So, I came here to tell you this." We were so focus to him. "I already bought a building that perfectly suits for your business." He said and that made us froze. We looked at each other and smiled. "Uncle! You don't have to. We're planning for that." "Please accept it. You've done enough for me and that I'm thankful of. You made me change for the better and became more attentive to my family. This is my give for you two. I already had a deal with the owner of the imported ingredients. They said they'll be glad to produce for you. The owner's daughter is also a fan of him that's why they didn't hesitate to produce some. The building is now done. It's fully furnished. All you have to do is to open it and serve some customers. You guys had already your employees." We were so shocked. "Thank you so much uncle! It's too much. We didn't even do some efforts." "Please, accept it. I don't have some time to spend with you. So, I have to go. See you!" we bid goodbye to him and looked at Ethan. I couldn't help my happiness. I jumped into him and he spun me around, making the girls in the corner squealed. "Ethan! I'm so happy." I yelled. "So do I" he put me down, but still hugging me tightly. "I got to go. I need to talk to my manager." He hurriedly said, I grab his arm, made him stop. "Wait, what are you going to do?" I asked him, "I'll talk to him about me quitting." My eyes widen. "No, you can't do that." I said, he will be wasting his opportunity. "Sophie, trust me. I better work with you." I smiled and he went out. I went back to the counter and hugged Mia. "Yah! What's with you? What happened?" she looked at me like I was crazy. "Mia, you won't believe what I'm going to tell you." I said and she got interested. "What is it? Spill the beans now!" she squealed. "Uncle bought us a building for our business." She was happy hearing the news. "Then I'll make you the manager." She looked at me like I'm a ghost or something. "What? Are you kidding me? No way! You're lying right?" she couldn't believe what said. "No I'm not lying though, but if you don't like then I won't force you then." I said and was about to turn my back but then she held me back. "Thank you!" she shouted and hugged me. "No problem. Now let's continue our work, our manager might scold us."
