Chapter 16 - The Paparazi

The white blouse worn by Anne was soaked with water from the glass so that it showed her underwear clearly, which immediately made Anne panic. He immediately made a shield using both hands to protect his chest from the sight of Aaron who was standing in front of him.

Seeing what had just happened made Aaron act fast, he then took off the jacket he was wearing and gave it to Anne. ??

"So, don't be careless," Aaron said softly as he put the jacket on Anne's body.

"I didn't mean to," said Anne softly in shame.

"Stupid !! there dry your clothes inside, after that you can return this jacket to me," said Aaron half-whispered.

Without speaking, Anne went straight into the kitchen to dry her clothes, which had been exposed to drinking water, leaving Aaron alone at the cashier serving the customers.

As she was drying her clothes, Anne could hear all the conversations that were taking place at the checkout counter, where at this time Aaron was being teased by female buyers who asked for his exact cellphone number, which was done by several other buyers to Jack.

Remembering that suddenly made Anne think of Jack, she just realized that until this afternoon Jack had not replied to the message he had sent since morning.

"Where are you, Jack, you don't usually go like this. Don't you have no friends or relatives, then why don't you notify me," said Anne to herself, staring at her cellphone which was displaying the message she sent to Jack.

The message is still a checklist, which means the message has not been sent to Jack, of which there are only two possibilities, namely Jack's cellphone number is dead or Jack does not have the internet quota to receive the messages he sent.

While thinking about Jack, suddenly the kitchen curtain opened, and Aaron entered carrying an empty tray that had been used as a place for cookies.

"Are you daydreaming, Anne?" Aaron asked quickly when he realized that Anne was still standing doing nothing while holding the cell phone.

"Aaron, I am not daydreaming... I'm just staring at my cellphone why can't I send a message to my barista. He's never done this before. Then what about tomorrow, I can't ask you to continue to be here. I'm sure you must have other activities, "answered Anne honestly.

"Give me your cell phone," Aaron demanded quickly as he placed the empty tray on the oven to his left.

"Why do you need my..." Anne could not finish her words because her cellphone had been seized by Aaron forcibly, not long after he was punching in several numbers and making a call.

RING

RING

The cellphone in Aaron's pants pocket rang loudly, making Anne finally come to her senses. It turned out that Aaron was calling his own cell phone to enter his cell phone number into Anne's cell phone.

"I've saved my cell phone number on your cellphone, so if your barista doesn't come tomorrow you can call me. I'm very ready to replace it like today," Aaron said with a smile as he took the phone back to its owner.

"But I can't pay your salary. You must get a lot of money from..."

"You can pay me by making me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I think that's enough to pay for my time at your coffee shop," Aaron replied quickly with a smile on his face.

"You want me to pay you with food?" asked Anne in disbelief as she widened her eyes.

"Yupp, oh yeah, I got out first. Outside there are customers, hurry up and dry your clothes so you don't catch a cold. Later, I'll be the one who bothered to take you to the hospital, then if you're sick no one pays me dinner today," replied Aaron slowly while laughing broadly headed to the cash register leaving Anne who still stood in disbelief, hearing Aaron's words asking to be paid only with food.

Not long after, Anne came out of the kitchen after the clothes she dried using a dry hair dryer, she couldn't bear to let Aaron alone at the cashier serve customers while making coffee and preparing cookies.

Even though Aaron was a new person who was not as fast as Jack who could do three orders at once, when she opened the kitchen curtain she was amazed when he saw Aaron had managed to serve 4 customers who ordered coffee and cookies simultaneously. He had also completed the transaction without error.

"Hey boss, what are you doing there? Do you want to make sure my job is good or not?" asked Aaron with a smile.

"I-I wanted to see if there were still a lot of cookies or not to keep an eye on your work Aaron," said Anne embarrassedly, as if she was caught doing something wrong.

Aaron just laughed at Anne who was like a confused person, he then resumed his new job quickly because he didn't want to make customers wait.

Meanwhile, Anne put the cookie order into a paper bag before giving it to the customer, the two of them then worked together again like this morning until finally, it was 4 pm which meant the coffee shop had to be closed.

"I'm hungry, what do you want to pay me with?" asked Aaron matter-of-factly while Anne was locking the door.

"Mmm... my apartment is not far from here. If you want, I can make dinner. But if you don't want we can replace another restaurant for dinner," answered Anne quickly.

" No no no, I choose the first option. Then we will immediately go to your apartment for dinner, "Aaron said with a laugh so that his white teeth were clearly visible.

Seeing Aaron laughing made Anne confused, she then walked quickly to her apartment, leaving Aaron still with his hands at the door. The coffee shop was locked.

"Anne, wait ...!"

"Come on, why are you walking like a snail !!"

"You're the one that is too fast, Anne !!"

"Excuse me!"

Without their knowledge, someone was following them with a camera in his hands and took a photo of her and Aaron walking away from the coffee shop.

"I think you would want to see this.. hehehe," the person muttered.
