☆Chloe's point of view☆
,,Hi, what can I get you?" I ask the new customers walking in and sitting down on one of our booths. Mrs. Fuller congratulated me with my marriage when I came in and I'm showing everyone my ring with pride. I'm so happy that Beca is finally my wife after years and months of waiting. Marriage life is amazing. Beca and I decided to search for a house again, since the last one didn't go through because of Beca's miscarriage. Ryan is nagging about a garden where he can play in, with a swing and a slide. I'm hoping more for a swimming pool, so I can see Beca in a bikini every day.
,,I would like a burger and a salad, please." I nod and write down their orders before handing it over to Dylan.
,,That girl is totally checking you out," he tells me and points to one of the girls sitting at the booth behind the one I was just at. ,,maybe you should tell them you're married before she's making a move on you." I look at the girls and it's true. One of them is totally checking me out. I feel flattered, but maybe he is right.
,,Just make sure you make the right order for them and then I'll let her know I'm married. Everyone can flirt with whoever they want."
,,Well, don't let Beca hear you say that. She will pull her over the table and fight her for looking at you the way she does right now." I laugh and tell him to make the order. I look around the diner, just to see if anyone needs anything but luckily everybody is occupied. Dylan comes back to me. ,,So, how are you and Beca now? Does she still blame herself?" He asks me. Mrs. Fuller and I told my co workers what happened, so they all know.
,,Yeah. We really needed that week off to talk. Now, we're good again and even are making a schedule for Ryan. It will be another six months for him to turn four and go to school, so in the meantime, we have to make sure he isn't alone at home."
,,So, Beca is watching him now?"
,,Yes, Sutton agreed to her being home every night after six."
,,Well, that's good news. I'm pretty sure Mrs. Fuller will give us our new schedule soon, so you can check when you need someone to babysit."
,,True. And besides, I asked enough from Emma or others who had babysit Ryan in the past."
,,They didn't mind. Everytime you told me about them, they seemed happy and fun." He says and then he gives me the orders, who Paul prepared. I deliver the orders to the table and wish them a tasty meal. When I come back to the counter, Mrs. Fuller comes up to me.
,,Chloe? Can I talk to you for a moment?" She asks me.
,,Uhm, yeah of course." I put down my tray and apron, after which I followed her into her office. I sit down across from her and wait nervously for what she's going to say.
,,So, the reason that I've asked you in, was because I have to ask you something." She begins and folds her hands. ,,I have thought about it for a long time and I think it's time for me to expand." I am startled. Does that mean I'm fired? Mrs. Fuller sees my expression. ,,Don't worry, Chloe. I will stay in charge of this location, but I need someone to be in charge of the new restaurant."
,,Where will you open that new restaurant?" I ask her.
,,Staten Island." She says and then she looks at me seriously. ,,Chloe, what do you say about running the new location?" My mouth literally opens with this question.
,,You want me to be in charge?" Mrs. Fuller nods and then starts to explain.
,,Business is going great and I have the opportunity to open a new restaurant. I just don't want to leave Brooklyn since my family is living here. You already know what to charge for meals and you have been running this diner for years now. The rest of the employees see you as their boss already." She takes a breath before continuing: ,,I can't think of someone better than you, Chloe. You will get promoted with a salary raise and you can decorate the restaurant the way you want. You can even make a decision about the prices of the recipes." Yes! I immediately think, but then remember Beca.
