After You Walked In

TWENTY| "Maybe we can threaten...?"

EDIT X

Ava

"Aiden," I sing, walking into the back, "where is my favourite person?"

"I'm right here!" Rhys shouts back from the front, where he was getting ready for opening.

I notice Aiden walking out from his office, his eyes narrowed as he walks towards me, "why are you so happy this morning? What did you do?" He sighs,

Smiling I shake my head at head, "more like what am I about to do," with a evil laugh I put my things away and follow Aiden to the front, where he had already started briefing;

"I'm sure you all saw today's target on the board, it's going to be a busy day today so, good luck to you. And finally, keep an eye on this one today-" he puts at me, "she's weirdly happy this morning, probably up to something,"

"Hey!" I object, "you have no prove, please don't accuse me of such," folding my arm, I walk to the door, turning the sign. Let's get to it.

"Ava," I hear Aiden warn, but ignoring him I head back towards the counter, I notice him from the corner of my eye, staring at me in suspicion. Mwahaha.

The rest of the day goes by rather smoothly, okay that's a lie everyone decided today would be a good day to flood the cafe, it was really busy and I no longer could be bothered to do this anymore. Only an hour to go!

Just as I serve a customer, Aiden walks up to me, Sarah following closely behind, "Ava, could you swap with Sarah and help me empty the cash,"

Nodding along, I let Sarah take my place, since it was a little quieter, Aiden takes one of the till tray, covering with and we head to the back office.

"So Aiden, how long have you worked here?" I ask, siting around from Aiden as he places the tray down.

Aiden just stares at me before sighing he responds, "6 years,"

I gasp and stare at him like he's an alien, "now I see why you're always done with life... Is your soul bound is to this place, can you not escape...?"

Aiden once again gives me a deadpan look and shakes his head, "no," I stare at him, giving him the hint to continue telling me his life story or I hope he does and luckily Aiden takes the bait, "all I'm saying is not everyone will hire me and I'm grateful to Kai, always will be for saving me when he did," ahhh, so I'm not the first charity case, nice to know.

I huff and write down the amount of notes in the tray, "why wouldn't anyone hire you? You're amazing," more so muttering to myself.

There's a moment of silence, while we finishing writing up, I look up at Aiden, "so, what do you enjoy about your job?"

Aiden looks taken back, he looks up at me confused, maybe too soon....? He narrows his eyes, "what? Are you interviewing me right now?"

Giving him my best smile, I shake my head, "of course not..." heheh

Aidan facepalms as he slowly looks up at me, "did Kai already give you the cafe?" How does he...?

Confused I shake my head, "why would... Anyways, I plan on asking Kai for it, well obviously not for free, did I mention I'm rich,"

Aiden stares at me, before he sighs and looks like he's cringing, is he okay...? "Okay... So you guys haven't talked about it yet?" I shake my head, Aiden continues, "great... Well just don't,"

I gasp offended and stand up with the half empty till tray, "don't talk to your new boss like that Aiden, I might fire you,"

Aiden rolls his eyes, while locking the safe, "you won't," at least he knows his worth...
