Olympia Sharlene Sagrado's life oddly seemed like a fairytale - her mother's death led to her father's remarriage to her evil stepmother, who tagged her equally wicked children to their home. After her father's demise, her stepmother, desperate to m...

11: The Fairy Godmother Hires A New Employee
PUNO PA NG bula mula sa sabon ng mga platong hinuhugasan ko ang mga kamay ko nang inanunsyo ni B2 mula sa may counter ang sunod-sunod na panibagong order. Cosmo was still busy preparing for the first batch of orders. Dali-dali kong binuksan ang gripo at naghugas ng mga kamay. Kahit na basa pa ay kumuha ako ng ballpen at nilista ang mga iyon sa papel. Nabasa tuloy pati iyong papel. Mabuti na lang at nababasa ko pa naman. The orders this time were not dishes or drinks. They were items I had to retrieve from the grocery part of the Batibot.
"I'll take this task," paalam ko kay Cosmo.
"Mas mabilis si B1 gumawa niyan," aniya.
Sinilip ko naman mula sa kusina, kung nasaan kami ni Cosmo ngayon, si B1. Kahit na talagang mabilis siyang kumilos ay abala pa rin siya sa dami ng customers namin ngayong araw. Ang totoo niyan ay nagdesisyon akong tumulong sa kanila at iwan muna ang confessional dahil sa dami ng mga dumarayong spirit at soul sa shop ngayong araw.
I sighed and said, "Ako na."
Nang lumabas ang huling customer namin ay ibinaba ko na ang tray na dala saka napasalampak na ako paupo sa high stool na nasa may harapan ng counter. Nakakapagod!
B1 also stretched his longganisa-like arms. "Sa wakas, makapagpapahinga na rin tayo!" he exclaimed, although he did not seem tired at all.
Actually, Cosmo and B2 did not look tired either. Parang normal lang iyon sa kanila. Despite the demanding job, they maintained their energy. However, I feel the matter is not about who gets tired among us anymore. Instead, we have to solve the issue of availability to do the job. Kahit na mabilis si B1 ay pansin kong may mga gawain pa ring nababakante dahil kailangan niyang magpokus sa pagkuha ng mga order at paglilinis ng mga table. B2, on the other hand, cannot leave the counter to take orders and manage the cash register. Siyempre ay pati na rin si Cosmo. Although his cooking was unmatched, I was thinking that there might be emergencies where we had to leave the shop in the hands of the spirit bubwits. Normally, B2 will fill the role in his stead, but I doubt it would be easy for him based on what I witnessed earlier. I think we need additional manpower in the shop.
I slammed my hands on the countertop and stood up, so they all turned their attention to me.
"Bakit po, Lady Olympia? May problema po ba?" nag-aalalang tanong ng dalawnag bubwit.
Sinamaan naman ako ng tingin ni Cosmo. "Do you really have to do that?"
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Feel ko lang mag-dramatic entrance. Anyway, let's go to the dining area and discuss something."
Tumalima naman ang tatlo sa sinabi ko at kanya-kanya na kaming naupo sa mga pwesto namin sa dining table.
"Kailangan natin ng bagong kasama rito sa shop," panimula ko agad, wala nang patumpik-tumpik pa. "We need to hire a new employee to help us in the shop."
