Chapter One

..."I thought that I will never be able to find love not until I met you ."...

"Ugh stupid alarm !!" Pearl running for work because she is late . "It is my second week working here and I'm already late !" Pearl says again . Her hair is already messed up. Once she arrived she look around the cafe . "Phew , thank god there's no customer yet ." She walk to the back and put on her working shirt . She look at the mirror and fixes her hair and put on her glasses . She walk out and start to cleaning the table and wiping the window .

"Morning..." Max yawn and walk into the cafe . Pearl look at him . "Oh morning ." She gaves him a warm smile . "Max , you're late again today !!" Jasper yelled and him and Pearl jumped a bit bcause she was shocked . Jasper saw it and say sorry . "I'm sorry . Yesterday I need to do all of those assignment by my own . My team didn't show up ! Those bastard ! I will kill them if they dare to appear infront of me !" Max say . Jasper laugh and patted his forehead and kiss his lips gently . "Poor my baby . Next time tell me and I will help you out . Okay ." Pearl just look at them and stop them from being lovey dovey . "Hey , hey There's people walking back and forth . Its not good for the store reputation ." She say .

"Huh ? Really?" Jasper say and tilt his head to the door then point his finger . "Then , what's that " Pearl turned her head and saw a bunch of girl outside giggling looking at Max and Jasper , some of them look mad at me because trying to stop Max and Jasper from being sweet . I smile awkwardly .

"Well the store need to run now or else we will go to bankruptcy " Jasper say and Pearl immediately open the door and welcome the customer . She start to take orders and placing the order . Cleaning the table once customer left the store . "Day by day the number of customer is increasing like crazy , which is good ." Pearl says .

I was in charge as the waiter , Jasper as the baker so most of the time he will came out once he's done baking and lastly Max is in charge as barista . Max is also a student of Ginevra University .

I'm also waiting for a letter to any University to pursue my dream as a writer and wrote my own book . I cannot say that I was a great student back then but I did do great . I really hope that I got accepted to any University that I applied to .

Oh and the counter , we take turns if , there's one person who is free will take charge to that position . It can be hard sometimes because Max need to mke drinks , Jasper was inside baking and I need to take orders . So mostly it will be me or Max at the counter .

Working here for a week is tiring but that how it works . I also saw couple dating , friend group studying or hanging out . Once I overheard a conversation about cheating and also a couple was having a fight and breakup in the scene . Of course I know she was mad but there's no need to break things . Its kinda annoying but we couldn't do anything . All that we can do is to separate the couple prevent things to become worser.

Good thing is sometimes there will be a handsome and attractive guy came here . I can't help it but stare and sometimes I wonder if they're dating anyone . I will be nice if suddenly my soulmate came out of nowhere and date me . But unfortunately this is me , I can't even talk to a guy and I'm very dry person . I've tried dating online and I did get match but I lose interest so fast . There also alot of pervert want me to send my 'PICTURE' which is disgusting . After all , I'm still young for love . Maybe love is not for me .

Not to mention , Max and Jasper is dating . It can be sweet sometimes while watching them but it also will hurt your eyes and soul . I wonder what love feels like . I used to date but he cheat behind my back . It sucks but what can I do probably I wasn't good enough .

"Pearl , can you work overtime today ?" Max ask me . "What ? you never mention Overtime when I was on interview " Pearl says . "Well I guess Jasper just made a new working hours . You will get paid afterall ." He say and smirk . "Okay I will work overtime today ." Jasper walk out and sit down . "There will not be that much customer in the afternoon ." As soon as Jasper say those words a customer came in . Max give him a death stare . "Hehehe , I'm done baking . I will help you here" He smile and tell Pearl to go and takes order .

I rush to the table with a smile . "Good afternoon , what can I get from the both of you ?" Both of them look at me and one of them tell me what she wanted and the other one stare at me with blank stare . I giggle awkwardly. "Ehem miss ?" I say . "What do you recommend here ?"

Woah what a sudden question . I smile and tell her what I will recommend , which is the most expensive on our store . Thats how it works here . She keeps on staring at me when I explain . "What do you like ?" She ask . I look at her with confusion. "I mean the menu , which one do you loves ? I'll take what you like then ."She say and sit back and cross her legs . "Umm okay.., Is there anything else ?" Her friend shake her head with smile on her face "Sorry about that " She say .

I place the order and wipe the other table to keep it clean . And then that weird customer called for me . I went to the table and say "Is there any problem ?" She look at me and ask with her blank stare again . "How do you know that I am a Miss ?" I look at her up and down . "Because ...." I look at her and her friend .

"Oh sorry , I didn't know that you are on a date . Would you like me to address you as Mr then ?" I smile " I'm so sorry if that makes you uncomfortable ." I bow . She held my hand and say "We're not dating and I don't want to be called Mr." She say . Oh shit I messed up bad this time . Umm what should I do now . "ohh...Sorry .." I says . "Its because your long hair , fair skin , tall .... , pretty face , and you have ******" I answer her questions with honesty .

She let go of my hands . "Am I attractive ?" She ask again . "Yes , you are ." I say and smile . "Well then , would you date me then ?" She ask . My eyes went wide and laugh it off. "Umm hahaha , sorry but you're not quite my type ." Then Jasper called me for the drinks and food . I ran to the counter top and grab the order and serve them . "Enjoy your meal." I say with a smile. "Wait." She say . I turned around and say "Yes is there any problem ?" .

"What's your type then ?" She say . I look at her and her friend . "Umm , I don't think I need to answer that question ." I anser her and out of nowhere this person stand up and say "I'm Qian Ting . Just call me Ting ." She look at me straight to my soul . "Haa...hahaha ." I laugh . "How about you ?" She ask me again . "Oh I'm Pearl . Nice to know you" .

I thougt she will sit down and eat . But then she said out loud ."Date me , I want to be your type ." She say that with straight faces and I couldn't help it and laugh out loud . "I'm sorry HAHAHA . I didn't mean to be rude but this is funny ." I say . Her friend look at me and start to laugh .

"I don't know if you're serious about this but this is not how you ask someone to go on a date with you ." I bow and tell them to enjoy the food . I calmly walk back to the back and my stomach drop . WTF IS UP WITH THAT PERSON . Probably they're doing a funny video for youtube content or something . Its kinda funny but scary at the same time . Whatever she' a customer and she will pay the food and I will get my pay check that's only matter .

"pfftt HAHAAHAHA , YOU WERE FUNNY" Della say . "What's funny ?" Ting say . "In the cafe you stand up and say "I WANT TO BE YOUR TYPE" HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I didn't know that you are that funny". She imitiate Ting back in the cafe . "Stop laughing , its not funny at all." Ting say . "Its funny because you look so stupid and you won't find it funny because you have no sense of humour ." Della say .

"Did you just call me stupid and have no sense of humour?" She look at Della with death written in her eyes . Della faces turns serious . "I'm sorry . I was just joking ." She say . "Well its not funny ." Ting say . "See you sure have no sense of humour ." Della mumble .

"Do I look weird though?" Ting stop walking and kneeled on the ground and covering her face . "It can't be that bad... right ?" She say . "I just want to look cool !! NOT weird!!"
