Midnight in Paris

CHAPTER ONE

" Zélie!!! I've been calling you for breakfast a hundred times to get you up, and you'll miss your work!"  I groaned at my sister, who just came into my room, I checked the time on my phone, and my eyes widened as I saw the time.

I sprightly out to my bed and took a quick shower, " Why you didn't wake me up it's 8:30 I should be on 7:30 in the shop IM LATE " I said to my sister who just sitting on my bed while glaring at me 

" What the- I've been calling you a hundred times and you're still sleeping so stop blaming me," she said angrily, I didn't answer her and just continue to dress up I wear brown wide pants with a cream sweater I quickly put my snicker on 

I go out to my room and I can feel that my sister was following from behind to the living room I was busy putting my things on my back when my gaze stop at the dining table I saw my sister preparing a meal for both of us but I ruin it now I'm guilty of blaming her 

I quickly hugged her and kissed her cheeks. " I'm sorry I promise I will make it up to you when I go home " she gave me a soft smile and nodded " fine but you better go right now. I don't want my sister to get fired," she said, and kiss my forehead. 

I ran out of the apartment and called a taxi as fast as I could. My manager would've been extremely angry with me at the moment. I hope that he won't get me fired.

I'm Zélie fleur de la Roche a french I'm not a Parisian me and my older sister Vivienne were born in Bordeaux our life was beautiful back there not until my father died because of the fire accident that happened on the raisins farm. It's been a wildfire and half the field was burned down, many farmers lost their jobs because of it. And for the case were hoping  that my father will survive but sadly no I was ten years old back then when we lose him

After that accident, the only one left was just me, my sister, and our mother. My sister decided to work in the city of Paris my mom insist but later own allowed her, I was eighteen at that time until I decide to stop my education and help my mother my sister and my mother were so furious at me but I explain to them that it's my choice to drop and help them. 

My sister bring me here to Paris it's just a beautiful place the one I read in the tabloid, our mother decided to not come with us because it's hard for her to leave Bordeaux, especially since it was the place where she and mother got to fall in love and built our family but we still visited her during our day off

My sister was working for a company of perfume here in Paris while I on the other hand worked part-time jobs in every cafe here in Paris. Last year  I decided to permanently work in the cafe as a full employee Laurentian my best friend offer this cafe that I have been working on now and I can tell it's not that bad 

After fifteen minutes of  a cab ride, I finally arrive at the cafe I saw that we already have a few customers  I greet my co-workers and they smiled at me, I gasped when I saw furious Calvino on the counter who was ready to attack me by his words 

I gave him a small smile but I immediately down it "Don't smile at me sisile you are late...Again " he said and I can tell in his voice  that he was really mad 

I just nodded and he just rolled her eyes ... I deserve that 

" I know and I'm very sorry for that. I promise I will  never gonna do that  again." I keep saying line again but he's not bothered to realize it, he still gave me a poker face while folding his hands and  he raised his one eyebrow and stated " You will be gonna lock the cafe and I assuming tomorrow that you won't gonna be late or else you will get fired period" I nodded and smiled 

He walked out into his office and quickly went to the staff room. On the other hand, Laurentine gave me a pitying look. I quickly change my clothes to our uniform and start doing my job as a waitress.
