Lady POV

  Today is another day at work. I woke up early to prepare the coffee beans.

  We open very early to serve breakfast to customers.

  And today is like any other day.

  However...

  Michael: "One cold brew venti, less ice."

  Lady: "?!"

  I heard a familiar voice at the cashier.

  It's that man!

  Yesterday, he suddenly disappeared, and now he walks in here as if nothing happened!

  I glare at him from my station. If I could kill him here I would.

  Employee: "Trainee, one cold brew venti, less ice!"

  Lady: "Hey, does he always order that?"

  Employee: "Hm? Yes, he does! He's been ordering that as far as I can remember."

  You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

  Lady: "Really now?"

  I start to prepare his order.

  Maybe I should poison him?

  Aaargh! So frustrating!

  The door opens and the bell rings along with it. A new customer arrived.

  New customer: "Hey, if it isn't Michael!"

  Michael: "Hello, sir Kyle."

  Are they acquaintances? This Kyle person seems to be in a higher position.

  He wears thin frame glasses with a bluish color. He has hazelnut-colored eyes and has a lanky physique, with dark black hair tied in a bun.

  I glance at them while preparing the order.

  Kyle: "Didn't know you visited this cafe. I also like this cafe!"

  Michael: "Yes. I also like this cafe."

  Kyle: "Excuse me, miss. I'd like to order one affogato venti, please! But hold on to that ice cream yeah? I'm lactose intolerant! Ha ha ha!"

  Employee: "Errm..."

  Kyle: "Here's my terminal! By the way, Michael, are you still living in your small apartment? You should really find a new place yeah? Somewhere closer to our office so you won't be late yeah? I could help you find one!"

  Michael: "I'd think about it."

  Kyle: "Heck yeah! Also, miss, I was joking about the ice cream yeah? A normal affogato would do! Ha ha ha!"

  Employee: "Haha..."

  That Kyle seems very friendly. Although he is kinda annoying.

  Employee: "Well, you heard the guy. One affogato venti."

  Lady: "Alright. Here's the one cold brew venti."

  I started making the affogato.

  They both move to an empty table. It seems Kyle will go with Michael to work.

  Kyle's POV

  Kyle: "By the way, the new barista looks very pretty yeah? I saw her staring at you pretty hard back there. You know her?"

  Michael: "Not really. I just met her yesterday."

  Kyle: " *whistle* You only met yesterday and she's staring at you really hard yeah? It must be love!"

  Michael: "I don't think so."

  Kyle: "Imma go to the restroom, don't go to work without me yeah!"

  I stood up and asked the lady at the cashier where the restroom is.

  After reaching the restroom, I pulled out my terminal.

  Kyle: "Target is stable. Nothing new to report."

  After leaving my message, I went back to the table.

  Employee: "Here are your orders! Thank you for your patronage!"

  Kyle: "Thanks miss! Let's go Michael, we don't want to be late now yeah? Ha ha ha!"
