You're Hired!
Nina glanced at the clock on the wall, her eyes widening slightly.
"Oh no, the patrons will start arriving in a few minutes." She said, a slight edge of panic creeping into her voice. She then turned back to me with an apologetic expression, her brows furrowed, and continued saying, "I'm so sorry, Kafka...You came all this way to see me, and I still can't spare any time for you."
I chuckled softly, leaning back against the counter with an easy smile.
"It's fine, Nina...Really." I said, waving her concern away. "Besides, there's going to be so much more time for us now that you've got some help around here. You won't have to do everything alone anymore."
Her expression softened at my words, and for a moment, she just stared at me as if she were thinking about something.
Then, a small, giddy smile crept onto her lips, her green eyes practically sparkling with excitement. I could almost see the gears turning in her head as her imagination ran wild.
