Tit for Tat

Chapter 2

"Good evening."

"Good evening."

Tiffany heard the familiar voice and quickly finished washing her hands. She listened to Yuri taking Taeyeon's order while she fixed her make-up and hair. She then waited, timing her entrance.

"Here's your milk green tea."

Tiffany heard her cue and walked out calmly with a bunch of straws in her hands. She saw Taeyeon taking the drink from Yuri . She smiled at her. "Hi again!"

Taeyeon was about to sip her drink when she saw Tiffany smiling at her. She froze for a second, mouth open over the straw. She quickly closed her mouth and swallowed. "H-hi."

"Your stomach is okay now?" Tiffany asked as she put the straws in the large holder.

Taeyeon merely nodded. She watched Tiffany flip her hair and swallowed again. (Damn, she's hot!) She blushed at that thought. "Bye then." She quickly turned around to leave, hiding her red face.

"Wait!" Tiffany called out.

Taeyeon halted her steps. She slowly turned around, not sure that Tiffany was calling out to her.

Tiffany disappeared into the small room at the back then came out again. She approached Taeyeon, pushing the small swing door open. "Here. take this if your stomach gives you problems again. It works for me."

Taeyeon blinked. She looked at the strip of white tablets in Tiffany's hand then lifted her head to look at the smiling woman.

"They're just antacids. And don't drink milk tea before a meal. It can upset your stomach." Tiffany gestured the medicine forward, urging Taeyeon to take it.

"Thanks." Taeyeon hesitantly took the tablets.

"No problem. Wouldn't want my loyal costumer to get sick now."

Taeyeon could swear she saw Tiffany wink at her but it was too fast for her brain to make sure. Her eyes followed Tiffany as the smiling woman went back behind the counter, talking to Yuri and another staff . She clutched her glass. (Oh dear, could someone help me?!)

"Unnie." Seohyun approached the woman who was checking the cakes in the glass display.

"Hm?" Tiffany straightened up. "What is it?" She looked at Seohyun.

"We just ran out of penne."

"Oh. Send someone to the supermarket to get enough for the rest of the day then go ahead and order to restock. Check the rest of the pastas too and order them if we're running low." Said Tiffany.

Seohyun just nodded then left to talk to one of the kitchen help.

Tiffany pulled out an empty cake plate from the display and took it to the kitchen. "Seohyun-ah..." She called Seohyun after the latter had finished talking to the staff.

"Yes, Unnie?" Seohyun turned around and approached Tiffany.

"I'm going to help Yuri for the rest of the day. Call me if you need anything."

"Sure thing."

Tiffany walked out of the kitchen to take her bag from the office before leaving the café.

She took her time in her parked car to check her appearance meticulously. She sprayed some perfume on her wrists and neck before she stepped out, walking towards the small shop. She entered and saw queue. (Looks like she's not here yet), she thought as she scanned the crowd. She greeted the staff and went to the back room to dispose of her bag before coming out again to help.
