Chapter 11: Meeting Mr Yao

Today is Annie's birthday so Bea asked her to stay home. The truth was that she wanted her away to have time to prepare a little surprise for him.

With Annie's absence, work is much slower. Béa has promised to hire more staff next week.

But when they were very busy, Annie comes in, goes to the locker room, puts on her uniform and comes back to take orders from the customers.

Bea: Annie what are you doing here? I asked you to stay home.

Annie: I don't know but my little finger told me that you can't do without my help so here I am.

Béa: Ok, I'm not going to deny it. We really needed help thank you. But you have to leave afterwards because you have to rest.

Annie: Why do I feel like you're chasing me? Are you girls hiding something from me?

Béa: Why do we have to hide something from you? I just wanted you to rest a little.

Annie looked at them suspiciously and left to serve another table.

Béa (whispering to the other employee): Léa please put away the decorations and also hide the cake.

While they were talking, there was a very loud argument between Annie and a couple of customers.

Bea: Calm down Annie. I can know what's going on here ma'am and sir

The lady: Your employee disrespected me. I thought that as a waitress she had to respond to the customer's wishes with respect. But this girl doesn't even know what respect is. I was wondering why you hired him.

Annie: I know what respect is, but I give my respect to those who deserve it. Bea these people here first ordered a chocolate cake, after I served it, the lady wanted to change "because chocolate makes you fat". She took croissants and ice cream but she had to change it again for fruit juice and biscuits. It was when she wanted to change again that I asked them to take the time to choose and that I was going to come back. I had to take care of other customers. She got angry and you know the rest.

Béa: Annie go to the kitchen to watch the cake in the oven.

Madam and sir we are sorry for this inconvenience, order what you want it is the house that offers.

The gentleman: That's all you can do. This girl treated us badly and I want her to apologize to us.

Béa: Listen sir, I've already apologized and I don't know what more you want. I respect my customers but that doesn't mean they can treat my employees badly. If my apologies aren't enough then I can't do anything more sorry.

Lady: Honey, let's go. We won't come back around here and rely on us to tell everyone how badly you treat your customers.

After they left, Annie arrived.

Annie: Ah girls, I understand why you wanted me to leave. I found what you wanted to hide suddenly there is no more surprise birthday ah ah ah.

Béa: Léa, haven't you put them away?

Lea: No sorry. There was a client and I forgot afterwards.

Béa: Well since it's your fault that there are no more surprises, it's up to you to find out what we should do for his birthday.

Léa: Well since it's Annie's birthday, I suggest that she decides.

Annie: Would you like to eat the cake first and then end the evening in a club?

Béa: It will be without me for the club.

Annie: Go do it for me please. I never saw you go out so do it.

Léa: Annie is right. Let's go out, it'll do you good to do something other than take care of the phoenix.

Béa: What more can I do two against one? I accept. The girls, the pose is over, we have visitors.

Léa: Heu Bea, your phone has been flashing for a while now.

Bea: Oh thank you.

Hello hello… yes it's herself ..... oh hello mister Yao… OK I take note. So it'll be a strawberry-scented three-tier cake for Sunday.

And where do I deliver it? Ah okay call me so I can show you our location. Thank you sir and have a good day.

It was ten o'clock in the evening when three beautiful and very sexy girls entered the club. They attracted the attention of those present.

Annie: So it's true that today is my birthday but I want Bea to be the one having the most fun, that's why I'm challenging you, my dear.

Bea: ???

Annie: My challenge will be to find you a partner for tonight. So heading or not heading. From what I know you're not one to back down from a challenge are you?

Léa: Stop Annie, she won't be cap.

Béa: Hey, I'm not a coward.

Léa: So Béa will you be ready to spend a night with a complete stranger?

Béa: Said like that, I don't think I'm very hot here.

Léa: I told you she wouldn't be Cap Annie

Béa: I always take up challenges. I accept but I need a lot of shots there.

Annie: All you want is me paying. Hey look at that handsome kid over there, he's been watching you since we arrived. Oh it happens Léa let's see elsewhere.

The hours pass Bea begins to be tired. As she had a challenge to meet, she agreed to leave with her partner for a night. He accompanies her to her car and drives off. The car drives for a while before parking. Bea who was a little drunk didn't understand what was going on until she felt a kiss on her neck. There she realized that they were in a room. When she turned to look around, she couldn't get over the grandeur and splendor of the place. Everything was so elegant.

Bea: What's your name?

Franck: And is it now that you ask? My name is Frank, Frank….

Bea stopped him with a kiss.

Béa: Hush the first name will suffice. It's just one night and I don't want us to know too much about each other.

Franck: But I can at least know your first name as well since you know mine.

Béa: Tomorrow I will tell you. It's not the priority right now.

Franck: I totally agree. So come my beautiful that I make you climb the curtains.

Bea got up early to slip away before her one-night lover woke up.

This Sunday, while Bea and the other girls were preparing the new customer's order, Yolande arrived with someone Bea hadn't expected to see even in a dream.

"My God is this a dream or something called fate?" she wondered.

Yolande: Ah Bea, there you are. I present to you Franck Yao, Mathieu's friend I was telling you about. You know your new client. And Franck is Béa, my cousin, the owner of the place.
