Working in a cafeteria is usually boring and routine. Until one day, part of the cast of the Wednesday series shows up there for a drink.
It will not be the only time they come, so there will be a twist that will change their life forever.
The work in the cafeteria was sometimes very heavy, especially with the afternoon shift and being Friday because all the people who left work went there. The place was humble, not too big but with a variety of pretty good cakes and coffee sides, some of which I had even made myself.The place was a bit hidden because in other areas the rent was too expensive to be able to maintain a series of benefits. The boss and manager was a very intelligent older woman, knowing how to be and do things despite her age. She had given me a job despite my little experience, she said she had seen something in me that reminded her of hers in her youth. Therefore, I was very grateful for the opportunity.My parents couldn't cost me my degree so they worked hard so they could save enough and not be so dependent on my parents.
"We won't open tomorrow," said the woman, "I want to rest and nothing will happen to close one day either."—Understood—inside he was happy, he wouldn't have to work, he needed to stop for a bit.
There was no more than an hour left to finish my day, I looked at the clock on the wall. Inside it was all brown with some cozy decorations like flowers or porcelain figures. In addition to some windows that gave views of a park not far away.I went to the kitchen to finish cleaning some things when the entrance bell rang, some customer. Although from the voices, I knew that they were a group of people.
"Can you go out and take care of it? I'll take care of this," she asked.-Oh, sure.
The group sat at the table and took off the scarves they were wearing because it was a very cold day. When those layers of clothing were removed, my eyes widened, it was the cast of actors from the Wednesday series!My body began to sweat and with the best smile, trying to control my nerves, I welcomed them and asked them what they wanted to drink. They were still wearing makeup, Jenna with her braids and Emma with her blonde wig.
"Well..." Jenna began looking at the rest.
Everyone ordered a hot coffee to warm up. There was Jenna, Emma, the actor from Euguene and Ajax. I was able to write it all down with a certain tremor.
"What's your date?" Emma asked, smiling.—Well, today we have...everything; apple pie, lemon, chocolate...—I started listing everything she used.
They were thoughtful for a few seconds.
"What do you recommend?" asked the boy who played Euguene."That!" continued the Ajax actor."Well, the apple pie is very good, I made it myself," I answered, holding my nerves as best I could."Well, that's it, a piece each," Jenna said.
Seeing them up close was unreal and the boss realized it was them.
"Careful not to throw anything," he told me something nervous too.I put everything on a tray and carefully, as if my very life depended on it, I managed to bring them the coffees."Here you go, now I bring you the cake" I almost stammered.
I returned with the order and repeated the action.
"Let's take advantage of it" they thanked and began to eat.I had to go to the bathroom to wash my face and calm down, I was sweaty despite the weather.—Okay, that's it, now to clean up.
I wiped down the tables while listening to their laughter and comments in the background. They were the only customers in the place. The boss had finished reviewing some things for next week and out of the corner of her eye she looked at the young people.I finished doing my chores and the only thing left was to wait for them to finish their coffee and cake.Time passed very quickly and I saw them get up to go pay. I took the opportunity to clear the table and I was glad that they ate everything, that was a good sign. While they paid, I left the things in the sink to wash them before closing.
"Hey," I heard Emma say. I turned to look—the cake was very good.-Thank you"Yeah, we'll be back another day to try it, I hope there is," Jenna commented."Sure," I smiled.
And so they left and we closed after finishing everything.
—See you on Monday—the boss told me—what a surprise, huh."Yeah, I didn't expect to see you but you made my week."
We said goodbye and I went home. I wish I could share it with my friends, but they are few and far between and they all work and have a partner so we haven't hung out in a while.After talking with my parents, I lay on my bed to look at the phone. I was following the actors from Wednesday and I saw that they uploaded a story. It was from the cafeteria although the name of the place was not visible. But Jenna and Emma shared one in which the two of them appeared on the set and with an accompanying phrase.
—After recharging with coffee and apple pie, it's time to get back to work.

I smiled like an idiot when I saw the photo.On Monday I went back to work and around the same time Jenna and company showed up.
"Hello, do you have that delicious apple pie?" she asked with a smile."We're done shooting for today and I'm hungry," Emma said, touching her belly."Sure, take a seat and I'll take note" I said a little calmer than the other day.
The boss was very happy to see celebrities in the place.The group, like the other day, ate relaxed, laughing and enjoying the tranquility of the place while they drank their coffee. In a way they made me envious because it had been a long time since I had gone out with my friends. I missed them.
"Excuse me, is there more?" they asked, raising their plates."Sure, I'll go right away" I replied coming out of my thoughts.
They ate two pies by themselves.
"Surely they must be very hungry after working so hard," I thought.
Just like the other time, they got up and paid. But this time it was different.
"Sorry, if I don't remember correctly, you said you made the cakes yourself, right?" Jenna asked.—Um...yes...I do them.—We spoke to our film crew about your cakes and they have insisted on trying them, could you make more for the day after tomorrow?—Of course—I said super nervous—how many do you need?
Jenna put her finger to her lips. With her hair loose and somewhat arranged, she was very pretty, just like Emma. They were dressed in coats and it suited everyone very well.
"I'd say around thirty would be fine." I widened my eyes.-Thirty?"Yes, if there's no clear problem..." she said when she saw my face.—Oh, of course, no problem!—intervened my boss—they will have them.
The group looked at each other and smiled.
"Perfect!" Jenna said.
They wrote down the team number one and the address on a piece of paper. Also a note for the guard signed by them to let me through.
"See you in two days," she said, smiling.They said goodbye and left happily."You already have work," the boss told me."Yes, I'll get to it first thing tomorrow morning," she agreed.
