Ivy's POV

I was wrong, it wasn't easy at all, let's say I met some grumpy old women who don't have a single taste in fashion.

I managed to sell them all a pair each of suits, meanwhile metal face( that's what I call Michael since he never smiles) kept bugging me and making my day worse, I missed my coffee.

Speaking of coffee, I took out my phone, thank goodness I had bars, I made a phone call to Catherine.

"Hey girl" I said smiling as if she could see me

"Hi Ivy, I've missed you, how's work going?"  She asked

"One word, terrible... I have the worst coworker in history, he seems to find joy in making my day wonderful" I said with clear sarcasm.

Catherine laughed over the phone

"And how long have you worked there that you guys are already at each other's throats?" She asked me after she could stop laughing

"Cath, could you please bring me some coffee maybe a latte, I'm in dire need of one?" I pleaded to her in attempt to change the topic.

"Sure, you work at bonmarché right?" She questioned while I had a puzzled look on my face,

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"You know your aunt Stacy can't ever..." She started and I understood, aunt Stacy loves to chit chat and I guess she had told Olivia about it.

"Just come with the coffee, thank you love you loads" I said as I hung up.

"Welcome, how may I help you?" I asked as I came face to face with the one person I wasn't really in the mood to see- Liam.

"Well, since you asked I'm looking for a perfect gift for my mom" he said beaming an innocent smile, I also noticed he had a hoodie on, he never wore tee shirts and I wondered why, maybe someday I'd ask him.

"Ivy, don't keep customers waiting" metal face hissed

"Come this way with me, sir" I said through gritted teeth, almost dragging him with me

"Ivy, I'm really sorry about Friday, sorry I snapped at you" he said in a very apologetic tone, when I turned to look at him, I was almost lost in those pools of beauty he called eyes, I almost succumbed until I shook my head out of the trance.

"Sir, are you looking for a dress, suit or jewelry?" I said feeling unmoved by his apology,

"I see where you're playing at...a minute?" he said as he went out of sight and in two minutes he was back,

"Ivy, your shift's over, see you tomorrow" Dayton said as he encouraged me to leave, and well I couldn't express the insurmountable joy I felt as I left the store with Liam trailing me closely behind.

"Liam?what are you doing here?" Cath asked as I turned to the familiar voice,

"Let's say, I brought a Cappuccino for Ivy" he said scratching his neck as he brought the coffee from where it had been ever since

"Ivy told me to get her a latte!" Cath said placing hands on her hips

"No need to argue guys...I love coffee s'much, so hand them both over" I said as everyone laughed

"Anyway, why is the party outside not indoors?" Cath asked as to why we were outside my work place

"I'm done with today's shift" I said while sipping my glorious latte, I turned around after feeling Liam was obviously boring stares into my precious skin.

"Liam, what is it?" I asked him with my hands on my hips, he replied with a chuckle as his hands went up my face, I almost went defense mode on him,

"cálmate un poco" Liam said to me as he wiped off my latte beard

"You speak Spanish?" I asked wondering to myself if he could be any hotter than he already is

"hablo un poco" he said again, I felt like melting, considering where we were I didn't expect to find a Spanish speaking person here.

"How did you know that she understood Spanish?" Cath asked, would it be wrong for me to say that I forgot she was ever here?

"Well, I know someone of Spanish descent when I see one" he said proudly

"Okay enough of this Spanish stuff, Ivy, I've got some work to do, so I'll see you around... Liam, I've got my eyes on you" Cath said as she hugged me and went out of sight.

"Would you mind if I asked you to lunch?" Liam asked,

"No, en absoluto" I said trying to show off my Spanish skills my Grandma taught me

He threw his head back in laughter, seemingly I didn't use the right accent and then my face flushed pink.

"de esta manera, querida" he said as I nodded my head and followed him closely behind to where I guess his car was parked.

Translation

cálmate un poco — calm down a little
hablo un poco — I speak a little
No, en absoluto — no, not at all
de esta manera, querida — this way, my dear
