BlueCloud Coffee Shop

Theo woke up at 6am full alert and ready to put his plans to work.

Today he is going to buy the Blue Cloud Coffee Shop and put his business skills to practice.

But, first, Theo went for a run around the neighborhood as he was determined to have a healthier body. After an hour of running, he came back to the apartment exhausted but happy that he was able to run.

He took a shower and prepared breakfast for Aurora.

Aurora woke up as he finished making breakfast.

While they were eating, he asked her.

"Are you going out today, sis?"

"Yeah, I am going to the library again with Daphne." She said while sipping coffee.

"Ok, but come back early and be careful outside" he said

"Thanks, bro, I will" she said while getting up to go get ready to go out.

After he bade goodbye to Aurora. He started to get ready too as he had a busy and important day.

He dressed in his best clothes and went to a cyber cafe to search for his target.

Theo discovered that the Blue Cloud Coffee Shop was situated close to the state university situated in this city but somehow the business wasn't going well and it was on the verge of closing up.

'That makes my job easier, maybe I can buy with less than 10k' he said in relief.

He printed the contract he formulated with the knowledge he gained and went to the coffee shop.

As he arrived in front of the shop, he observed its surroundings and discovered that it wasn't that bad. It had a decent movement of people.

Theo entered the shop and he saw the interior wasn't the best. He could say it was a horrible combination but if I arranged here and there, it could become a presentable coffee shop.

He walked to the counter and he greeted the only employee of the shop.

"Good morning! How can I help you?" She said with a smile.

He liked her attitude.

"Good morning! Can I speak with the boss of the shop?" Theo said firmly.

She looked and analyzed him. She saw that he was wearing cheap clothes but it was clean so he wasn't a homeless person she thought.

"He is in the back. Wait a minute" she said while going to the back of the shop.

After a while, a plump man appeared and looked at him.

"Well, what do you want?" he said arrogantly.

Theo looked at him and knew that after buying the place this man had to go. The man didn't look like someone pleasant to work with.

"I want to buy the coffee shop." Theo said directly

He looked at Theo suspiciously as if asking if he had the money to buy the coffee shop.

Theo looked at him knowing what he was thinking.

So, he pulled out his old phone and opened his bank account, and showed 6k of the 10k that he had.

Theo didn't want him to see how much he had in total.

His eyes lit up in enthusiasm.

"I offer 5k for the shop" Theo said directly

"I want 7k" he said

"I offer 6k, no more no less" Theo said firmly.

He looked at Theo with some hesitation as if wanting more money but after seeing that Theo wasn't budging, he accepted his offer.

Theo took the contract and they went to meet a lawyer to make things official. After busing himself all morning with the contract.

In the afternoon it was official, the Blue Cloud Coffee Shop was Theo's.

After the previous owner left. Theo entered the shop and he saw the employee that he saw in the morning.

She saw everything that happened in the morning and she was very surprised that he would become her boss. 'But I hope he is a better boss than that idiot that couldn't manage a proper business' she thought.

Theo walked over so he could talk to her.

"Hey, sorry I couldn't introduce myself in the morning. My name is Theodore Gray, your new boss. Can you introduce the workings of the coffee shop?" he said with a smile.

"Hello, don't worry about it. My name is Samantha Walker and I work as a barista here, I am the only employee and we don't have much business mainly because the last boss was inept on the workings of how to manage a coffee shop" she said directly.

Theo looked at her approvingly. She seemed professional and nothing like a simple barista could do.

"You said he was inept? How can you know?" Theo questioned.

"Well, I studied business management at the Bluefire State University but because I didn't have enough money for the tuition fees, I got out of college midway through. So, I have some knowledge in the area" she said with a sign.

Theo looked at her bewildered. According to the memories he received, the Bluefire State University was the university situated here in Elffire City. And it was one of the most prestigious universities in the country. One has to be intelligent to be accepted there. And to not be able to finish studying because of the lack of money he truly could understand her situation.

Theo decided while looking at her. She was a pretty girl with blonde hair and blue eyes but he looked at her seeing a gem that could be his helping hand on the path of conquest.
