WONKA POV 

It has been a month, four days and 3 hours since Iris walked out of my sight. Another day without her face. Another day without her smile, eventhough it wasn't a sincere smile, I knew she did it to work and make the customers happy. 

"Where is Iris?" A young women asked. 

"She doesn't work with us anymore." Noodle said with a frown. I was facing the other way but  I could feel the frown in the womens face. 

"What a  a shame. She was so sweet. " The women said. 

She was sweet? Maybe to customers but to the world, she was  bitter. I thought to myself. She prefer not to eat candy than work for me. I shouldn't like a women as bitter as her. I was all about the sweets, she was all about the bitter.  Is the first time I feel irritaded by someone and it was bothering me in my mood and chocolate. 

"Willy... some customers are saying that this chocolates taste funny. Doesn't taste sweet." Noodle said. I snatched the chocolate from her hands and took a bite of it.

"Yuck!" I said spitting it out. It tasted like vomit. "Who did this chocolate?" I asked. 

"You did Willy" Noodle said. 

"Take it out of the market" I said sitting down in the desk in my office and putting my head on my hands. 

"Willy... what is wrong?" Noodle asked. 

"I don't know. Something is wrong with me. I'm going to take some days off and be in my factory. " I said grabbing my coat and hat and walked out of the store. I went to the factory and went to my room and cover myself with the blankets. I needed some sleep. 

The next morning I felt really bad. I felt like I was burning. I felt really cold and I felt like I couldn't get up. I dialed Noodles number and said that I was not going to  the store. I was definitely sick. She made me sick! 

IRIS POV

It was on of those days where I felt so sad. I had my day off from the boutique where  elegant women came in everyday and bought the most fanciest dresses. I saw everyday, how those women went with their husbands and bought clothes and more clothes. They would kiss each other and I would look away. 

It would be nice having someone to come home with. I thought to myself as I drank a cup of tea and looked outside the window. I saw how some kids and families came smiling and laughing from the Wonka Store. They always come out happy from there. That place was a happy place. Nothing like the serious boutique, where you say hello and the women would just looked at you from over the shoulder.

I needed some happy right now. I could even talk to Wonka. I think we left things a little too awkward between us. And he might be too happy and optimistic to me but he was alright friend. I knew he ment well. Maybe I was a little too harsh.

I put on my coat and went to the store, trying to see Wonka. But I just saw Noodle.

"Hello Noodle" I said.

"Iris!!" Noodle said hugging me tight. "We missed you so much!"

"We?" I asked. Why did I asked that?

"Yeah the customers, the employees and I" Noodle said. I unconsciously frown. Noodle smirk at me. "And Willy as well" she said.

I couldn't help but blush a little.

"Talking about him. Where is him? Making one of his inventions?" I asked turning my head to his office.

"Oh no... He is sick. He has been so weird lately. His happy self faded and he even made a mistake with one of his chocolates. It tasted awful." Noodle said.

"What? Have you seen him? Is he okay?" I asked.

"No, there has been so much work in the store that I hadn't had a chance to take him so soup that my mom made for him. Wait... Can you take him some soup?" Noodle asked.

"Ummm..." I said.

"Please?" She asked with her big brown eyes.

"Fine" I said grabbing the soup. I walked out of the store and walked to the factory that I've seen almost at the edge of the town. People told me it was a abandoned castle but now it had a W at the entrance of it.

Should I knock? Should I just enter? I decided to go in. I walked to the door and knocked on it. My eyes widened as I saw the sight that was in front of me.
