( 4:40pm )

"I am so sorry I'm late, Chef Mao!" I said running through the door.

"Aether! You're finally here, Paimon wasstarting to think you were going to show up." Paimon said greeting me.

"Is Chef Mao in the back?" I asked Paimon.

"Not today! Dad is sick so big sis came in for today." Paimon answered.

"Big sis? You have a sister?" I asked curiously.

"Yea, she usually works weekends so that's why you don't see her." Paimon answered.

"Oh alright." I replied.

"Funny thing she was also late!" Paimon laughed.

"Oh alright." I said heading to the back to grab my uniform.

I walked around the corner but suddenly bumped into someone.

"Ack, sorry!"

"It's fine." I said looking down seeing Xiangling.

"Oh hey Aether, what are you doing here?" Xiangling said getting up off the ground.

"I work here, so you work here too?." I asked brushing some dust off of my clothes.

"Yea, I usually work weekends though, I'm here covering for my dad." Xiangling replied.

"Wait, you're Chef Mao's daughter?" I asked staring at her.

Xiangling nodded.

"What's taking so long back here! We got customers!" Paimon popped out of the corner.

"Ack, sorry." I replied and walking into the locker room.

"Say Paimon, how old exactly are you?" I asked.

"Probably 12, Paimon doesn't know Paimon's real age." Paimon replied .

"You don't know your real age?" I asked looking at Paimon.

"Mister Mao isn't Paimon's real father, Paimon was found in front of Mister Mao's restaurant when it first started to open, Paimon doesn't really remember " Paimon replied

"Oh.. that makes sense." I said.

"Paimon is hungry, Paimon is going to get Xiangling to make some something, do you want anything?" Paimon asked getting up from the chair.

"I'm good." I replied.

"Alright!" Paimon said walking away.
