Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Elsa came out of the office and walked over to meet Claire.

“Settled?” Claire asked.

“Yeah.” Elsa simply said.

“Pay?” Claire asked again.

“Yeah, since I will be here for less than two weeks so..” Elsa said.

“We have new customers, go and meet them.” Claire said as she continued what she was doing.

Elsa cleaned her hands and left the kitchen. She walked over to the guys that were seated there.

“How may I help you?” She asked. She sniffed in his perfume and it smells so familiar and not only that, his white hair had the same style. He felt so familiar to her despite the fact that he turned his back towards her.

He looked up to her and a pair of ocean blue eyes met with that of grey eyes. Their eyes went wide open as the realization hit the both of them.

“Elsa?” Jayson said. Jake looked up from the menu he was reading and looked at the both of them.

Elsa swallowed lightly and said, “How may I help you?”

“Hmm.. You... Erm.. I.. We.. I” Jayson was tongue-tied.

“Orange juice.” Jake said and Elsa looked at him.

“We want orange juice.” Jake said completing it.

“Right away.” She said and left.

“Is this where she works?” Jayson asked as he looked around.

“It is quite obvious.” Jake said and shrugged.

“But..”

“This is your order and it is only 10 dollars.” She said and she wrote it on the receipt.

“10 dollars?” Jake asked as he brought out his wallet and picked out ten dollars.

“Erm.. I will pay.” Jayson said and smiled at his friend. He looked at him sending him secret message.

“Okay then, if you say so.” Jake said returning the money back into his wallet.

“I say so.”

“Alright.”

“I will come meet you to pay when we are about to go and also you know us and know that we can't run away with your money.” Jayson said. Elsa looked at him for a while and nodded.

“And what are you up to?” Jake whispered asking him.

“Nothing, just want to watch her.” Jayson said while Jake looked at him weirdly.

“Are you sure you are fine?” Jake asked, Jayson looked away and rolled his eyes.

“Who are those hot guys?” Claire asked after Elsa had entered the kitchen.

“Who? Which of them?” Elsa asked not minding her at all and doing her own assigned chores or rather work.

“Those two boys seated there.” Claire said.

“They came to get orange juice and nothing else.” Elsa shrugged.

“But they are handsome, when I passed by the both of them, I felt like blacking out because they were so hot and good – looking. If I could have like one of them as my boyfriend.” Claire said and smile to herself.

“Just make sure that whenever you want to faint, don’t let it be in the kitchen or beside any customer because I know boss so well. You will work for three months without getting a pay.” Elsa said and packed some things into the year and left Claire standing there.

“This is your order and your pay is twenty dollars.” Elsa said slipping out a receipt. Jayson kept staring at how she was attending to the customers. So enthusiastic.

“She is so good at this work.” He thought.

“Boy, are we gonna be staying here till dusk?” Jake asked.

“I don’t know.” Jayson said still staring at Elsa.

“You don’t know?” Jake asked. Jayson turned to him and gulped down his orange juice.

“I meant to say yes.” He said.

“What? Yes?” Jake asked.

“We will be staying here till dusk?” He asked surprised.

“No.. Hmm.. Not really.” Jayson stuttered.

“Better.”

“I have been walking since morning and I have not met someone in need of maybe house help or maid. Are these wealthy people of nowadays able to do their work by themselves? How time flies.” Ellie thought as she sauntered slowly down the streets.

“Gone are the days when wealthy people have several maids working for them. Just as if they were royalties but now, they have decided to do their works by themselves. Don't they know that it has led to lack of job opportunities.” She said and hissed out tiredly.

“Gosh, I am so tired like right now.” She said and sat down in front of a house.

“I am so thirsty.” She said and yawned.

“Oh my gosh, these boys are so hot and good-looking.” Clare squealed as she took side glances at Jake and Jayson while walking.

“That one with that rare color of blue eyes.” She said pointing at Jayson and Elsa knew it was him.

“I like him already, only if I could just walk up to him and ask him out.” She said and giggled at the imagination.

“Don't this guys have something to do or somewhere to be?” Elsa thought as they walked at a close range with them.

“But wait, are they following me to my house?” She thought again.

“Impossible, I have to stop them.” She thought aloud.

“Who are you stopping?” Claire asked.

“Huh, what did you say?” Elsa asked.

“Who are you stopping?” Claire asked.

“Hmm, no one actually.” She said and looked at the boys, she turned and took her face away.

“Hey, Elsa, what of Ellie?” Jake called out and she stopped including Claire. Elsa turned towards him and raised her eyebrows on question. They have been following them for the past thirty -five minutes straight.

“What.. do you mean by that question?” She asked.

“Just asking about her and nothing else.” He shrugged.

“She is fine and kicking.” Elsa said and turned to leave.

“If you don’t mind, I can give you a lift home.” Jayson said. He has been contemplating whether to talk to her or not, but then he finally gave it a try. Claire smiled and was about to give a reply when Elsa talked.

“No, I don’t need it.” She said and dragged Claire away.
