LADY YAKUZA BOSS

The Boss Wants to Buy Brewed Coffee...

He stopped in front of Starbucks and frowned. It's closed. He wonders why the coffee shop's closed in a busy Monday. He called the guard who happened to walk by and ask why it was close.

"Sir, may leak daw yung water pipe kaya bumaha. May repair at maintenance pong ginagawa sa loob ngayon kaya sarado."

Tumango nalang sya. "Sige. Salamat."

He loosened his necktie feeling the waft of hot air from outside since he's only a few meters away from the entrance door. God, why is it so hot in this country? He could barely stop sweating when he's outside.

He look through the rows of restaurants and food chains there but nothing seems familiar to him. The only thing he knows of is Starbucks and it's close.

Oh wait, there's one.

Naglakad sya papuntang 7eleven. Nakapuwesto yun malapit sa entrance ng building.

He pushed the glass door and he heard the chime that's dangling at the corner of the door frame.

Luckily they don't have customers yet. Napansin rin nyang dalawa lang ang emplayado na naron. Nasa likod ng counter yung isa habang yung isa ay nagaayos ng mga items sa estante.

He walked around the convenience store a bit, checking out some food and drinks that are new to him. Saka sya dumampot ng ilan sa mga yon giving in to his curiosity.

Then he went to the counter and put the snacks on top. After that he asked for a brewed coffee.

"One moment Sir. "

He nodded and looked around. He then noticed the other staff, piling the plastic crates on top of one and another. He leaned and put the weight of his waist at the edge of the counter and watched the thin girl out of curiousity.

His brow went up while watching her.

Yumuko ito at hinawakan sa magkabilang gilid ang crate na nasa ilalim saka bumuwelo at binuhat iyon ng walang kahirap-hirap. He smirked when he saw some of the bread falling from the top crate.

Sloppy..  He kept the snide comment to himself.

Then another pieces of bread fell and he couldn't help himself from rolling his eyes.

He couldn't help himself anymore and walked towards the lady and picked the bread on the floor one by one.

"Wait, you dropped some." He said with furrowed brows. He crouched and picked each one.

He stood up and had a close look at her face. It was a heart shaped and small face. And now that he's this close to her he couldn't help but hide the twitching of the corner of his lips .
He could mistake her for a kid. She barely reach the height of his chest.

Cole couldn't help but study the tiny woman in front of him.

She's wearing a cap that has the store's logo on it. It hides the length and color of her hair. And she's also wearing glasses. He didn't missed to notice the freckles on top of her cheeks and her nose.

She's not wearing any make up either. Wasn't she told that being 'presentable' is a minimum requirement even for a convenience store's employee? Not that his complaining.

Then his gaze went down to her lips, it's soft pink. Her upper lip is so thin yet the lower lip have just the right amount of thickness. But over all, she simply just look plain and a pushover.

He put the pieces of bread back to the crates with his serious face. Salubong parin ang mga kilay nya. He couldn't understand but seeing this weak looking woman brings back bad memories.
