Chapter 203 New Recruit First Working Day

Another two days passed and today was the first day they began their work. David and Stacy had shown up yesterday to practice their service.

David, who had previously worked in a restaurant as a waiter, was already qualified. He didn't need much improvement as he was already experienced in it.

On the other hand, Stacy was a little muddy, but after hours of practice, she had started to get the hang of it. With these two, my workload lessened.

After Stacy and David finished their lunch which had mind blown them, we got ready to work.

"Charles! Over here!"

A regular customer who I was familiar with had called out to me. Going over, I took his order.

"Your new employees sure are handling their jobs well."

"If they weren't, I wouldn't have hired them. Jordan, you're still ordering the same old beef?"

"The other food on the menu is just as good."

"I don't doubt it, but beef is the way to go. As a man, how can you not love beef?"

Jordan was an odd person. Despite being rich, he seemed easygoing. He was a bodybuilder of some sort. I would have never thought that an elf would look that muscular.

From what he just said, I could see what he meant. Since he was the customer, I would let him order his own thing.

"Did you not bring your wife with you?"

"She is busy with some work."

Jordan's wife is a strong mage. A fifth-rank mage was rarely seen. He is living his life to the fullest, and I can't blame him.

"Man, this is good stuff. Your wife's cooking is the best."

"I know, right?"

"Here is the cash. See you tomorrow."

After his meal, I took the plate and put it in an automatic plate washer. After thirty seconds, I took the dish out and dried it.

And with that, I continued on the day. So far there wasn't any trouble that the customers were feeling.

David was doing his job perfectly, while Stacy was a bit clumsy. No one here minded. The day passed by, and the three of us took shifting breaks.

Stacy was the most warned out, so I let her have dinner. While attending to one of the customers, I saw a familiar face.

"Hello, what could I get for you today?"

"You seem familiar, I can't point it out, but I feel like I know you."

"Really? This is my first time meeting you."

"Is that so?"

"I would like a fruity salad and some spaghetti. Add in an orange juice if you may."

"Your order will be ready in a few minutes."

Leaving quickly, I was shaking a bit. The girl who was in front of me was Lisa. What was an eleven royalty doing here?

Luckily we weren't close enough for her to notice me. Grabbing an orange juice and giving an order to Livie, I returned to the dining hall.

I asked David to give her the drinks while I attended to some other customers. After David finished giving Lisa her order, he went to take a break.

David was sensible enough not to ask why we switched customers. I liked people like that. Maybe the raise should be given to David right away.

Lisa, who had finished, asked me to come and take the receipt. Fuck, I was alone. So I had to go.

"That would be 3 Silver."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?"

"Charles. Just Charles."

"May I have a word with your chef?"

Does she want to hire Livie? I wasn't against it, but I don't think Livie would accept it. Lisa shouldn't be too unreasonable, right?

"My wife is busy cooking. If you want to talk to her, could you do it after the restaurant closes?"

"Oh, you're married? I didn't think someone so young like you would be married."

"My wife and I are going back. We love each other's company, so we easily got married."

"I see."

"Then I will come again at a later time."

I mentally sighed to myself. I had survived this ordeal. Being caught would mean that our lives would be over.

Stacy had returned, and it was my turn to take my break. Livie made my favorite food, and I went to eat with her.

David and Stacy know Livie's magic, so they weren't surprised to see her sitting beside me to eat.

"David, how is the first day going for you?"

Since it is break time for the both of us, I might as well ask him. Whether he had any concerns or problems, we could help.

"It went better than I expected. I was worried about these "high-class customers." But I don't think you're that bad."

Today wasn't a crazy day. Multiple times, our shop was threatened with being shut down because of an unreasonable customer. But they won't be doing that ever.

I will let him think what he thinks. After all, I don't want to put him under pressure.

"Then that's good. Just keep doing you."

Smiling at him, he felt something was up. Since he had finished his dinner, he had dismissed the thought and gone back to work.

After finishing my dinner, I returned to work, and Livie returned to do her own thing.

The rest of the day wasn't eventful. And the day ended with everyone satisfied.

"Good job, everyone. I will be generous and pay you on your first day."

"Boss, you didn't have to."

"This is a one-time thing, people your age like to spend."

"Aren't you only a few years older than me?"

"Did I say that I don't like to spend?"

Ever since I arrived in this world, spending is something that I was good at. I gave David and Stacy five silver coins and left it at that.

Our today's earnings for our restaurant are about one diamond coin. You may be wondering what we were doing with this money, but that is a secret for another time
