                          Eve

I wake up with the sound of my alarm, time to go to work, my family are rich. I work in a company and after leaving at five in the evening, I have to work part-time in a burger restaurant with my two best friends because I feel like and also because of my friends so I help them out sometimes. I prepare myself and ate breakfast, I was always gorgeous, people said I was gifted with Ewa(beauty) which it means in my local language. Just like my name, just the letter w and a (Eve).

I arrived at the company I work at.
As I got to my desk, I already meet a pile of new files I need to work on, I immediately pick up the files one by one.

Janice my workmate and my best friend walks towards my desk.

"Good morning, beauty." Janice says as she pulls my cheek and sit on her desk which is beside me.

"Good morning, Janice." I says spilting the files on my table into quarter and hand them over to Janice.

"Since you do not have any work doing, help me." I hand the files over to her and she collects it saying anytime.

Esther walks over to her desk which is at my front.

"Esther, do you have any work doing?" I ask her while facing my monitor.

"Nope, why asking?." She looks in my blue eyes seeking for answers.

"Help me with this." I hand over the files to Esther.

"Then you are buying me lunch." She starts sorting the files and picking.

                       *******
After I finished the files, I crossed check it and walks towards the Department officer.
I knocked and she told me to enter.

"What do you have for me." Miss Stella asks me.

"Stella...." She had always told the workers to call her by her name, which type of a boss does that.

"I've worked on the files you put on my desk this morning."

"Oh, ok put it down there I will attend to it later." She says, pointing on a glass table.

I placed it on the table beside her shelf which had two sofas. I exit her office and walked to our own cubicle and Janice puts her head on my desk.

"So what did she say?." Janice asked.

"She said I should place it on the glass table in her office, she would attend to it later." I say sadly.

"Who does she thinks she is?, I was thinking she was nice." she says like she could beat the life out of Miss Stella.

"Take it easy, we have all encountered it so many times, she ignores mostly me. We are not smellos or something and we are not ugly." She looks at me straight in the eye.

Truly we are not ugly, we were even beautiful than a princess in a castle.

"Maybe she is jealous of our beauty." I say and we all let out a laugh.

The clock clicks 5:00pm and we all head out, we all fought and argued about who should inform Miss Stella that we are already heading home. Then it was Esther.

She knocked, entered and came out.

"That mad woman, to hell with her, let's head out." She says as she enters me and Janice's middle.

                           ^^

Me, Esther and Janice put on our work clothes and apron. Esther heads to the kitchen to meet the other chef and tell her that her shift was already over. Few hours later, an handsome man with silver eyes and grey suit enter the restaurant with elegance, ordered for a burger and smoothie.

"In a minute." I say as I head to the refrigerator for a smoothie, went to the tray and took a burger. When I got to the counter he was looking at his watch, when I arrived he looks up and our eyes met, my shining blue eyes with his shining silver eyes, I frozed like as if my blood was freezed by ice.

"You took two minutes and four seconds but you said in a minute." He says directly at my eyes. The bar was silent and was not crowdy since it was getting late, that was why I like night shifts in all my part time.

Gosh, does this guy not know some etiquettes.

"It's some type of etiquettes we use with customers."

"Then don't lie to them." He says with enthusiasm.

He pays and finishes his burger and carried half of his smoothie and came to me.

"Bye" I say as he only nods in response.

Am I that beautiful, I ask myself, that man is going to be really rich. I just stood here looking at the door in which he just passed when a customer enters.

"Hello Mrs Sanders." I greet a regular customer who just live across the street.

"Hello Eve, how're you doing today." She asks me while resting on the counter.

"I'm doing great and you."

"Good."

"So what do you want?." I asks her.

"My usual." She says smiling and I laugh as I went to bring her three burgers.

She pays and she heads out, she shouts from outside.

"Greet Esther and Janice for me!" She says and cross the road.

I smile and received the other customers who came in. It was now 10:00pm as I head to the door and turned the signboard to closed. I enter the kitchen and saw Esther and Janice who just finished cleaning the kitchen and we head out to our house. We all live in the same house and pay the rent together, it was three rooms that was in the house with each toilet and the rooms were large, a kitchen, a dining and a sitting room with a work office and a store room just everything you need in a normal house.
