"Good day , what may I help you with?" A surprisingly soft feminine voice asked and Tyler looked up.

His eyes landed on a girl in blue denim trousers and red tee-shirt , her brown hair was packed up in a ponytail which was already messed up , some strands of her hair dropping to her face.

Tyler couldn't help but notice the everlasting smile she had on as she stood in their front , her jotter and pen in her hand ,ready to take their orders.

"Gooday, what is your best take here?" Gael replied and she turned her gaze to him .

" Uhm- Sir, we've rebranded our sheet pan sausages and veggies and I'm sure you'll love to have a taste" She smiled.

" That's nice, we'll have-"

"Smoothies, we'll have just smoothies" He interrupted before Gael could complete his statement.

Gael turned to him raising his brows but he just ignored him.

She turned to them with a confused smile.

" So what kind of smoothie?" She asked.

"I'll take one strawberry smoothie"

"And one mango smoothie for me" Gael added.

" Got it, I'll be back" she said and walked away immediately.

" Dude, what was that?!" Gael snapped, immediately she was out of sight.

"What?! You don't expect me to have real lunch here? " He rolled my eye.

" Seriously? " Gael scoffed but he just shrugged and took out his phone.

In the kitchen

Earlier...

"And then she was like , oh you just messed up my hair" June chuckled.

" Serves her right" Jasmine laughed .

" Jasmine!!" A familiar voice yelled and she immediately turned to see their boss standing by the door.

" Yes ma'am" She quickly replied.

"What did I tell you both about talking during your shifts? " Their boss snapped angrily.

"Sorry ma'am" June muttered .

" That's what you say every time!" Their boss snapped again .

Jasmine stared at her feet, fiddling her fingers.

"June go get the the cream in the cold room and Jasmine take the orders of the two persons who just walked in"

" Yes ma'am" June replied and quickly walked out leaving Jasmine behind.

"They are seating three seats away from the door" she said and Jasmine nodded.

She picked up her pen and jotter and made to leave but her boss dragged her back.

"They are important personalities and I don't want you messing up, don't give them a bad impression about us"

" Yes ma'am" She muttered and walked out.

Jasmine prayed silently that they weren't going to be rude to her because if they were , she was going to break her boss's warning.

She'd had enough of those rich people insulting her , especially the proud ladies who think they had all the beauty and riches in the world.

She hated them like anything and would do anything to ignore them.

"Good day , what may I help you with?" She asked with the most polite voice she could muster.

She put on her best smile as she stared at them with her pen and jotter in hand.

From their looks she could tell they were really important personalities.

Suddenly she realized something. The guy in white office shirt was

Tyler Pierce. No wonder she noticed he looked really familiar.

She wondered what he was doing in a middle class eatery like Fove.

Her eyes unintentionally landed on his wrist watch, from the look , she bet it could pay their rent for a year.

"Gooday, what is your best take here?" The second guy asked and she turned her gaze to him.

" Uhm- Sir, we've rebranded our sheet pan sausages and veggies and I'm sure you'll love to have a taste" She replied.

" That's nice, we'll have-"

"Smoothies, we'll have just smoothies" She heard Tyler interrupt before he could complete his statement.

She turned to him with a confused smile.

" So what kind of smoothie?" She asked.

"I'll take one strawberry smoothie" Tyler muttered.

"And one mango smoothie for me" the other guy said.

" Got it, I'll be back" she said and walked away immediately.

She walked into the kitchen.

" One mango smoothie and strawberry smoothie" she called out.

"Coming" she heard one of the waitress yell back.

The girl came out some seconds later with a tray.

"Here you go"

"Thanks" Jasmine muttered and began to walk back to their table , holding the tray carefully.

" One mango smoothie for you sir" she said to Tyler , dropping the glass cup on his side of the table.

"And one strawberry smoothie for you sir"

" Have a nice time" She smiled and was about to leave when an angry voice stopped her.

"Are you trying to kill me?!"

She quickly turned in fright , her hand dropping to her side.

The Tyler guy was fuming in anger as he stared at her.

"Sir?" She asked.

"What do you mean trying to kill you?" She added.

How was she trying to kill him by giving him a glass of smoothie?

"I asked for strawberry smoothie not mango" he replied emphasizing on the name of the fruits.

" No! You said mango smoothie, and how does that even relate to me trying to kill you?! " She tried to argue.

"Why would I ask for Mango smoothie when I'm allergic to Mango? " He snapped.

" Temporary Amnesia" she muttered and secretly rolled her eyes.

"What did you say?!" he snapped angrily.

"Temporay Amnesia, that's why you forgot you were allergic to mango and ordered it's smoothie" She wanted to say but she secretly scanned the room , everyone's attention was turned to them .

She remembered her boss's words and sighed inwardly.

She was going to let this roll off her back for the sake of peace and respect for her boss.

She stared at the two cups on the table.

Maybe she had accidentally given Tyler the mango smoothie that was meant for his accomplice.

"I said I'm sorry " she faked a smile and grabbed the glass cup.

She turned to leave but his next words made her halt.

" That's why I never wanted to come to this low class restaurant, they always have this dumbass waitress who messes up orders and I guess this ugly duckling is that dumbass waitress" he muttered.

She turned immediately, her fake smile now replaced by an angry look .

" You say? " She asked calmly but her eyes said otherwise.

"I called you a dumbass, beach! You have a problem with that?" He retorted in a whisper.

" Tyler! " His friend called out in surprise.

Jasmine clenched her fist in anger.

No one dared called her dumbass and beach and get away with it.

Before she knew what she was doing , the smoothie she was holding was dripping all over Tyler.

"You!" He yelled in surprise, getting on his feet.

"How dare you?!" he gritted out , staring at her in disbelief.

She heard murmurs in the room but she cared less.

She smirked.

Doing that made her feel great.

"No one talks to me anyhow, and besides I'm not the bitch here, your girlfriend is!" She rolled her eyes and made to leave but he dragged her back holding her wrists tightly.

She winced in pain.

"You do not leave until I say so" he gritted out .
