Assistant or lover?

"Loved" by customers, hated by staff

There was a little coffee shop in the corner of the busiest city, people who would work around the area would stop by because it was so cheap. Other reasons were for this one particular barista.

"Get to work!!" Yelled a rather short man, being short didn't stop him from bossing people around and being sassy.

"Shut up already! Ugh your so annoying, the only reason why we get customers is because of you, and it's honestly getting annoying given that I only worked here for 3 months."

"We'll then leave and go somewhere else, we don't need people like you in the job anyways. And it's not my fault on how I look."

The little man went to pour some hot boiling water into a cup, giving it to a man that ordered, a man who's been staring at him.

"Here you go sir! If you have any complaints just let me know! I'm happy to help! Enjoy your drink!" As much as the little man didn't like conversations he had to give himself a good picture.

"Yes thank you uhh" the man looked at the baristas name tag, trying to recall his name. "Muichiro, with you making my drink I'll enjoy way more than intended to!"

The man leaned over the counter trying to whisper something to the barista. "Here's my number if you ever want Feel relaxed~"

Muichiro took the number of the man, giving him a fake big smile. "Yes yes I'll be sure to call you! Now have a nice day!"

The man left with his coffee and Muichiro feeling disgusted. He threw the number in the trash can, it wasn't his first encounter to someone like that.

'When is this ever going to end?' Muichiro was slumped over the countertops not realizing that even more customers were coming in.

"Muichiro get back to work!" And there he was, Muichiro's old boss. He only ever hired Muichiro because he was attractive and knew it would bring in customers.

Muichiro almost hit his head with the cabin over the countertop when he heard the old man yell. Muichiro has been brought up to his attention that the man would only yell at him and not others.

Muichiro didn't seem to care all that much but he does get annoyed by it. He got paid the most out of the whole crew so their wasn't really need to complain.

"Yes sir, sorry!" Muichiro bowed his head down to his boss and started taking customers orders, he was annoyed yes, but not annoyed enough to yell at someone, that would risk his job.

"Hello how may I take your order" Muichiro said with a big fake smile, trying to look as genuine as possible, the customer assumed he was mad by the sudden interaction with the old man.

"Ugh that was a long day of work, I worked from 6 am to 5pm, that should give me a good pay check! Givin that I worked overtime" Muichiro grabbed his belongings ready to clock out.

"Hey Muichiro! You think you can make this order? I have trouble making it and I'm doing like 7 drinks right now." As much as he didn't want to with this annoying coworker, he knew that he's barley experienced, but then again he called him annoying.

Muichiro glanced at what he assumed was the order for, his coworker probably didn't want to handle him with the way he looks so he decided to make one. Last. Order.

Muichiro finished preparing the order and was now about to give it to the man.

"I heard he hooks up with many people, I don't want to have my drink done by some whore" that was Muichiro's last straw, it was already a busy day to begin with and he so kindly offered to make this man drink. Just to be called a whore.
