Back to Work

That afternoon after classes, Hayashi Sakura went straight to her workplace half an hour before La la land Cafe opened. 

When she pushed the backdoor open and stepped into the café, she was immediately greeted by her boss, Ms. Cookie, who was in the locker room near the backdoor.

"Sakura-chan!" Ms. Cookie called out very excitedly, alerting other maids within the area of Sakura's unexpected presence. 

There is no doubt that they have heard what happened to her on the local news on the television, but they thought that the girl was still resting or something.

Wait… Sakura paused to think. Since when did Ms. Cookie called her by her first name? This is pretty weird.

"Hayashi-san!" called out Sakura's other four colleagues who also went running to reach her.

Ms. Cookie was the first one to hug her so tightly while the rest of the maids followed along, cutting the air supply for the poor girl who just came from the hospital.
