"Large Cappuccino for Jack!" Keith announced after placing the cup on the counter. Soon the guy named Jack came over to grab his order then went out.

Keith glanced at the clock while working on another order, it's already 5:28, he silently cheered. It's nearly the café's closing time, he can finally rest!

"Vanilla Latte for Lane!" he announced once again after finishing the order. The girl named Lane also grab her coffee then proceeded to seat where she previously waited.

The café's door opened which triggered the bell, indicating that someone is coming or going out. Keith unconsciously looked at the person who opened the door, then all of a sudden, their eyes locked into each other. Keith seemed to froze after seeing such a handsome figure. The café became silent after the man's arrival, obviously captivated by his indifferent aura and insanely gorgeous figure.

Keith was the first one to recover, so he pretended to cough then avoided the man's gaze out of embarrassment.

"Good day sir, what can I get you?" Keith politely greeted the man and asked for his order when he arrived in front of the counter.

The crowd regained their consciousness and blushed at the sight of the man. The café was filled with the customers suppressed squealing and whispers.

"Large Americano." he uttered in a cold voice while staring at Keith's face, which made Keith uncomfortable. He then placed a card on top of the counter, a black card to be exact, which made Keith shocked and amazed, that Keith quickly concealed.

"For whom sir?" Keith asked before swiping the card in the machine.

"Ace."

Keith's neck and ears slightly reddened at the man's— Ace gaze.

Keith cleared his throat and handed him his card. "You may find a vacant table to wait for your order, sir."

Ace nodded his head and went to a table at the corner to wait for his order.

Keith breathed a sigh of relief when Ace finally stopped staring at him. Keith then proceeded to work with Ace's order without noticing Ace's gaze.

After finding a seat, Ace continued staring at Keith who was currently working. Elijah. He uttered silently while staring. 'No, it can't be Elijah… Elijah's not that pale and petite.' he thought.

"Large Americano for Ace!" Keith announced when he finished the order. He once again glanced at the time, it's 5:42!

Ace headed to the counter to get his order while he stared at the man who resembles someone important to him, he then stared at the man's name tag located in his right chest. Keith, he read silently.

Keith, who proceeded to arrange his equipment's, was unaware of Ace's stare.

Ace then decisively walked out of the café after knowing his name— Keith.

There were only a few people left when the clock struck at 5:55 since the customers know the café's closing time.

The café's staff then proceeded to clean up the tables, floors, counter, and the windows when the last customer went out.

Ah, I can finally rest. Keith sighed contently. He then walked towards the closet to change his uniform. Keith bid his goodbyes to his workmates after he changed to his casual clothes.

He was the first one to get out of shift since there are some staffs that is assigned to clean the café.
