Once Upon A Time (Human Mr. Hippo X Reader)

Chapter 14: Date

Your secretary receives many phone calls during the day from many people who want to be either cooks, janitors, waiters or mechanics at your pizzeria. Meanwhile, Henry Emily visits you in the afternoon. 

" - Good afternoon [Y/n]. How are you?

- I'm fine, thanks. How about you?

- I'm great. How's everything going?

- The business is rising up at an incredible speed.

- Marvelous! 

- However, I am quite worried about the amount of people who are applying for a job here.

- Don't worry, the more staff, the better.

- But how am I supposed to arrange a meeting with each of them?

- The answer's simple: you don't.

- Excuse me?

- Unless they are here to be a mechanic, just let them get the job. There's never enough staff.

- Are you sure about that?

- I've been doing this for years and nothing happened regarding this decision...

- What if they are here to be technicians?

- Then they should send their resume. If it looks good enough, they're hired.

- I thought Fazbear Entertainment was a serious firm.

- What do you expect from a company with furry robots and pizzas?"

You shrug and chuckle a little.

" - Oh, I forgot to ask you how things were with your personnal secretary.

- Well, everything's perfect! You reply, slightly blushing.

- I see... He smirks.

- Wh-what do you mean?

- Oh, nothing... Anyway, if you ever feel lost, give me a shout, okay?

- I will for sure.

- Good. Have a nice day, [Y/n]."

In the evening, a few hours before closing time, backup finally comes to help you, most of it being waiters. However, some cooks and janitors are part of the bunch of new employees that have just entered your pizzeria. There's only a few mechanics, but that's still enough for Orville Elephant and his three friends that you decided to buy, giving them a much bigger showstage. You chose to expand the rooms aswell so more customers could come inside.

You finally place the "closed" sign on the front doors and sigh in relief. You get to your office and make your daily tasks before leaving the building. Once your work is finished, you automatically check on the animatronics from the dining room. Nevertheless, you don't see Mr. Hippo anywhere. You heavily breathe out before leaving Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and locking the doors. You see a purple car in the parking with someone standing next to it. You walk closer to the vehicle and realize it's your secretary.

" - Hello again [Y/n]. Are you ready?

- As said, I just need to change clothes.

- Can you just give me your address?

- Sure thing."

You get inside the car and tell him where you live. He drives you home and parks in front of the house.

"I'll be waiting for you here."

You nod and get out of the car, enter the habitation, go upstairs in your bedroom and dress up to go out.
