The Sinister Billionaire And Miss Imperfect [ON HOLD]

chapter 33

the journey ended more quickly than I expected cause you always walk to the cafe and now your in a luxury car duh!!! Well I gotta agree with my inner Rebecca on this point it felt like I was riding a vehicle in paradise really?a vehicle in paradise ? That's the best you could come up with?

  we stopped at Mr marlows cafe and I thanked him and got off I pushed the door and the bell above the door rang indicating a new customer that's when the bittersweet smell of coffee hit my nostrils and inhaled it happily customers sitting on their respective tables some busy chatting , chilling,sipping there coffees, reading newspapers or books , or some busy on their phones

"Rebecca thank God your ok I was so worried I called you so many times I saw the news and I saw your offices burning " said Mr marlow oh so that's why he was calling "I am perfectly fine Mr marlow please don't worry " said giving him a reassuring smile to him

We parted ways and I went inside the kitchen putting on my apron and tied my hair in. Tight pony I have a thing when I am on work I tie a pony and and when I have tons of work I tie my hair in a bun i taking a deep breath i stuffed my notepad and my pocket on my apron

I held a menu and stepped out of the kitchen and saw a little girl and a woman entering ;they pushed the door and the bell rang the woman's eyes scanned the cafe finding a place to sit I strolled to them and said "this way mam "

I guided them to an empty yet clean table and as they settled down I handed over her a menu and grabbed my notepad and pen from my pocket "what would you like mam?" I said with a smile and she hummed in response scanning the menu my eyes landed on the little girl who was busy in her moms phone kids these days

"And what would you like princess" I asked her bending a bit towards her she lifted her head instantly and smiled as I called her princess, "I want a chocolate chip cookie " she said and grabbed her moms sleeve "mom can I have a cookie pweessh"she said and her mother muttered and okay and she looked at me and smiled "my mom says I can have a cookie"

I chuckled at her cuteness "okie dookie one cookie for this princess" I said scribbling on my notepad "what about you mam?"I asked her "Umm can you come after sometime I am not ready to order yet" she said guilt written on her face for making me wait "oh no problem mam take your time" it's kinda annoying when your standing for customers to order waiting for them and they take a century to order but then again it's our job we have to serve them

I looked at the word 'cookie' written on my notepad and shut my eyes turning around my heart ached Mr marlow was standing right behind me "ah! Rebecca can you put up this board outside " he said handing me a board and I nodded in agreement taking a small yet tall rectangular board I lifted it up it. Neither was it heavy nor it was light in weight as I went out to put it the word 'cookie' stayed in my head bringing all the memories back

Flashback

My tummy growled like a monster  I lifted the blanket from my head and  opened my right eye to peek at Katherine who was sound asleep and I glanced at the digital alarm clock which showed 2:44 am a midnight snack at this time wouldn't be a harm I debated with myself for a moment 'mom says a midnight snack spoils our appetite' my mind said

But how will she come to know about it everyone in the house is asleep I was busy in my thoughts when my tummy growled some more and I got up and threw the blanket beside me and slid down the bed tip toeing I went down the staircase looking from left to right in case anyone catches me red-handed

Finally when I have reached my destination the kitchen I smiled ,I think I should be a spy when I grow up thinking to myself I grabbed the cookie jar slowly and steady I pulled to my chest and kissed it's to and pulled out the top and grabbed a cookie and started munching while holding a the jar still in my hands I glanced outside the window the moon shined brighter as if it was saying me 'hi' I smiled chewing
