The shooting of Zeynep's film was due to end on Wednesday. The girl had been on set since the early morning hours, although the previous day had ended late at night.
Defne, like her sister, got up in the morning. All this in time for the surprise party that Onur and Selim had prepared out of gratitude for their hotel being chosen to host a film crew from America. There was no denying that such an endeavor would echo on the web when more information could be given about it. This involved more interest from vacationers. In the future, perhaps they will again host celebrities known from the glass screen. Also for them, as young businessmen, it was great publicity.
When Defne showed up at the restaurant, Onur was already waiting for her. He was sitting at the bar with a cup of coffee. Çinar was bustling around behind the counter, polishing wine glasses with a white cloth. Beside them, a couple of employees were roaming around the premises.
The barista, upon seeing her friend, smiled at her, asking if she would like something to drink. So she asked for a mineral water. She was too excited about her night on the set. The emotions had not yet had time to subside.
- I would ask how it was, but I saw your insta story," Çinar began, handing her the bottle. She, meanwhile, sat down on a hocker - You shared your sister's post.
- It was great. The feeling is indescribable," Defne replied, trying to unscrew the cork. To no avail. - I've been dreaming of this moment since Zeynep got into acting. Years later, my dream has come true.
- Let me help. - Onur held out his hand. The embarrassed girl handed the boss the bottle. He unscrewed it easily, using more force.
- Thank you," Defne replied, taking a sip of water. She wasn't thirsty, but she would have felt uncomfortable if she didn't drink after Onur unscrewed the bottle.
- Çinar, does this water always unscrew so hard? - Onur became interested.
- It's not likely to have problems, although recently a few customers have complained," the boy said, returning to his activity. - A few days ago, I personally saw one woman flinch when she tried to open a child's drinking water.
- In that case, at your leisure, I ask you to go to the back room and look through the warehouse. Put aside the packs from the same production run. Don't let our customers complain about this inconvenience again.
- All right," he replied with a smile. - I'll take care of it.
- Does Selim know about this? - He further asked, grabbing a cup of coffee in his hand.
- Yes, we reported it. Özge was also at this conversation.
- I understand," he sighed, sipping his coffee. - You can go back to work.
Onur rolled his eyes. He was surprised that his cousin hadn't done anything about it until now, since the staff had signaled him of the problem. It wasn't something big, but they promised themselves to respond to any difficulties, even trivial ones, for the sake of the customers. They had only been on the market for a short time, so they were anxious to gain regular customers and positive ratings on the website.
- Defne, say, what is it like to have a famous sister? - nagged Çinar, looking the girl in the eyes.
- Normally," she said uncertainly in response. - I mean, I don't feel it, that she is recognized. I am very proud of her. I'm happy that Zeyno has achieved success abroad. I always wait with great excitement for the premieres of films featuring her.
- I wouldn't have thought that I would meet someone here who has a show business family," laughed the blonde, taking another glass in his hand. - Will you do me a favor?
