"New order!" Hyun Ae heard her waiter call out from the busy kitchen.

After placing an orange juice and a watermelon juice on the serving tray, she called out to her respective waiter.

"So... what do you think?" Yoon Hee suddenly asked, wiping the working area as she approached Hyun Ae.

"What?" she responded.

"The shop. Customers leaving great reviews and more new ones are coming, also leaving great reviews! You're going to continue this, right?"

"I haven't asked the others. I mean... the employees. Can they continue this?" Hyun Ae sighed, looking around the place, at her workers, busy serving people their food.

"What are you talking about? They loved this! They've been saying that they hoped you would keep it like this! It's the trial's last day anyway, so we do really need answers," Yoon Hee assured her, placing her hands on Hyun Ae's shoulders.

"Well then if that's true, let's go to the next phase. And this is where I need you... Manager," Hyun Ae giggled, grabbing Yoon Hee's arm.

"What?" Yoon Hee whispered, her jaw dropped, thinking that she might've misheard it.

"Manager. It's you. I knew that you once declined the offer, but this time I hope you would like to take over. Plus, you've been with me here for years, so I think you're eligible," Hyun Ae clarified.

"Thank you!" Yoon Hee suddenly threw her arms around Hyun Ae, hugging her tight.

"You deserved this, Yoon Hee. You've been helping me whenever I'm not in, and that is, most of the time," Hyun Ae chuckled, still in her friend's arm.

"Oh, I see a celebration here," Hyun Wook suddenly popped up from nowhere, with a notepad in his hand.

"Well, you're right. Hyun Wook, new manager, Yoon Hee," Hyun Ae introduced, patting Yoon Hee softly on the back.

"Congratulations! You deserved it, girl! I've seen the way you work, you're so dedicated and all. No wonder my sister likes having you here. And now, you're the new manager," Hyun Wook smirked, taking Yoon Hee's hand for a handshake. Then the door rang.

"Wow, this place is looking lively now! Not like it used to be: looking dead," Seorim snickered, as she walked towards the counter with three other girls behind her, apparently her friends.

"What do you want?" Hyun Ae asked in a bit raised tone, almost forgetting a fact about Seorim at that moment. "Ah..."

She's my customer now.

"Well, that's rude. We're your customers. Table for four, please," Seorim tapped the countertop with her acrylic nails, pulling a diva look on her face as she met Hyun Ae's eyes.

Hyun Ae let out an annoyed sigh, then she looked over to Hyun Wook. "Show her-"

"I want YOU to show it to me," Seorim said, crossing her arms while her friends were having it. And this made Hyun Wook take a step forward toward them, but his sister was fast enough to stop him.

"It's okay, Hyun Wook."

"No, I won't let you- Noona," Hyun Wook called out, but Hyun Ae ignored him as she led Seorim to an unoccupied table of four.

As Seorim took a seat as well as her friends, Hyun Ae began to speak. "I will call in one waiter to serve you-"

"Can't it be you?" Seorim asked, rolling her eyes at Hyun Ae.

"Why would you want me to serve you?"

"So what?"

"I'm the owner. I own this restaurant. I will decide who serves you." Hyun Ae then leaned closer to her ear, then smirked. "You don't want me to call you 'whore' in public again, do you?"
