*Loffey Cafe
Justin stared at the customers who were currently enjoying their respective order menus. Some came and some went. It is quite tiring indeed, but for Justin this is a common thing, very ordinary even because before he had often served many people like this.
Everything seems easy for Justin today, Harry even said that Justin was very fast when memorizing the menu-menu list available at the cafe. Just imagine, Justin just memorized the entire menu in the cafe for an hour, and so far all his work has been done without obstacles.
"Justin Kim!"
Justin gasped when he heard his name being called by another servant. He immediately ran closer to his co-worker.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Please take this drink to table number twelve! That's that table!" said the man while pointing at a table not far from them.
"Good!" justin replied obediently while taking the tray that the young man had given him.
Justin turned around to deliver the order menu. But he did not realize that at that time some group of people were walking past him. Until finally..
A BRUUKK!
The collision was not inevitable.
Justin who hit one of the people in the group suddenly lost his balance, making the tray carried by him so that the two drinks that were on it immediately spilled.
But what makes Justin's eyes more rounded is when he realized that the spill that had just fallen hit the clothes of the person he hit just now.
Justin froze for a moment nervously he looked up in fear at the person he just hit. He gulped his saliva rough when he found out that the person he had just hit was a middle-aged man and was currently staring at him sharply.
"What have I done, forgive me sir!" justin said while bowing his body while saying sorry words many times to the middle-aged man.
"Let me clean up, sir," he said again, taking out a clean cloth from his pants pocket to clean the middle-aged man's clothes.
"No, no need!" said the man slowly.
Justin then stepped back to hear the words of rejection from the man. He then stood glued to the rest of his surprise, staring at the rest of the liquor he had spilled and was now seen fouling the clothes of the middle-aged man standing before him.
He then looked down to look at the glass of drink that had now broken apart on the floor. Justin then looked back at the old man's clothes that had been dirty because of the coffee spill many times, alternately.
Once again Justin looked up, staring fearfully at the middle-aged man. Now his eyes and the man meet. He gulped his saliva roughly when he realized the man was also staring at his face fixedly. But Justin frowned because he realized that the gaze was not an angry or upset look.
And one other oddity was, he seemed to have seen that middle-aged man before him.
"You-" said the middle-aged man, raising his hand to Justin.
'Dead me!' inner Justin. He lowered his head even more, not daring to look at the face of the middle-aged man before him.
"Pardon me sir. I was completely unintentional!" justin continued to bow his head in fear.
A young man in a suit then came and immediately pushed back Justin's body. "What are you doing? How dare you spill a drink on-"
"Mario stop!?" said the middle-aged man flatly, cutting off the speech of the young man in a suit who suddenly came out of nowhere and instantly stood right beside him.
"Are you okay?" asked the middle-aged man while looking at Justin.
Justin then raised his head and looked confusedly at the middle-aged man. "W-what?"
"I asked, are you okay?" ask the man again.
"You're this, aren't you that young man-"
"What's this?" suddenly Harry came closer to them and immediately stopped the middle-aged man's words.
"I just arrived!" replied the middle-aged man. "I came here to visit the cafe."
Justin was now only speechless to Harry who was speaking in a very polite tone to the middle-aged man.
'They know each other?' justin's inner confusion.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man Justin knew named Mr. Romanov was still occasionally staring at Justin with a difficult gaze to interpret. Somehow like just Justin is the main focus at this time.
The young man called Mario quickly stepped forward and approached Harry. "What the fuck, Harry? Why would you accept a careless employee like this to work here. Did you see what he did to Mr Romanov?" said Mario while pointing to the clothes of Mr. Romanov who was wet because of the spillage of drinks.
"What?" harry's eyes immediately rounded and he quickly turned to Justin.
"Sorry Harry! I actually accidentally spilled a drink on this master." Justin stared fearfully at Harry then lowered his head again.
Right now he really felt very guilty towards that senior of his. Harry has helped Justin a lot to get this job. But look now, instead of thanking him, he was even more troublesome for the young man.
Harry looked at Justin. "Justin, ka-"
"Stop!" said Mr. Romanov suddenly. "What's wrong with you guys? Why is it so overdone like this, it's just water."
Mario moves forward. "but sir, he-"
"I said it's okay Mario!" mr. Romanov said firmly. Mr. Romanov's voice suddenly made some visitors at the place surprised and turned their heads.
Justin tightened his grip on the tray in his hand. He really felt bad about all this noise.
"I told you it's just water!" mr. Romanov said flatly as he glanced back at Justin.
"That's not what I mean sir," Harry scratched his nape awkwardly. "He is a new employee who is my responsibility. And of course I feel really bad for you!"
"No problem!" mr. Romanov said in a relaxed tone. "I just finished visiting some factories, cafes and restaurants earlier. I did choose this cafe to visit the last, because according to the info I heard this cafe is the most crowded among my other efforts."
"I'm going to go to my room right now and change my clothes!" mr. Romanov continued his sentence. "And I want you to bring this month's financial statements to my office."
"Good sir. Oh, yes do you want to drink something sir?" harry asked a little awkwardly.
"No need." he replied flatly. "I don't want to drink anything right now,"
Harry nodded politely, although the look on his face looked really bad.
Mr. Romanov then switched to Mario. "You get me my change of clothes in the car and take them to my room, right now I have business with Harry" he said flatly.
"Okay sir!" answered Mario obediently.
After Mario leaves, Mr. Romanov turns to Harry again. "Come into my room now, Harry!"
Harry nodded obediently then followed Mr. Romanov towards the third floor of the cafe building leaving Justin still standing in confusion at his place.
After Harry and Mr. Romanov left, several other employees immediately approached Justin.
"Why did you do that, Justin!" said a waiter.
"That's it, Justin!" Cried another waiter.
"You've only been working for a day and you've been causing trouble to the owner of this cafe" the fattest waiter said, shaking his head.
Justin's eyes suddenly widened. "What did you say? The owner of this cafe?"
