"If you agree with the rules and terms, sign the contract." His dark brown eyes pierced the girls' gray ones. "Think before you sign. There's no going back."

Sitting in the dark office, the girl held the pen with slightly trembling hands, knowing that if she signed this contract, there would be no going back. She will finally surrender. But that's what she wanted. She wanted to surrender, to be in a strong embrace. The young girl's gray eyes read the contract again, and looking back at the man sitting in front of her, she nodded with agreement. With the signature, she became his.

The sun's rays shone into the bright, cozy cafe, where customers were doing different activities. Some talked to each other as friends, some drank coffee, ate delicious cafe pies, and some worked on their devices. Soft jazz music played through the speakers, creating a cozy atmosphere.

"Good morning, sir. What would you like to order?" The barista made her way to the table where a man sat down, hanging his jacket on a hanger. The owner of the brown eyes turned to the barista, eyeing up and down the young girl.

"Espresso, please," the man smiled at the girl. His eyes did not leave the girl's body and face. She looked perfect and intelligent, and she definitely didn't belong in a coffee shop.

"Right away," the waitress smiled kindly at her customer and went towards her counter, but before that, she turned to look at the man who was also looking at her.

Embarrassed, the girl took the coffee beans, opening the coffee machine, into which she poured the granules. Leila took another quick look at the man and quickly turned away. Strange.

"I'm amazed at your taste," Stefa said as she pulled her work apron around her waist and walked over to Leila, helping the girl make coffee. "He doesn't seem like someone who would really pay attention to you."

"Why do you say that? I think he's quite handsome. " Leila laughed softly when she saw Stefa's strange expression. Leila's and Stefa's tastes differed significantly, as they should.

"First of all, he wears make-up, see? Black eye shadow and then black eyeliner, his nails are painted black too, doesn't that tell you anything?" Stefa carefully looked at their customer, who sat waiting for his coffee, probably unaware that the girls were talking about him. "He doesn't really look at women."

"Well, maybe you're right," Leila smiled at her friend and pressed the button on the coffee machine, which automatically started making hot coffee. Leila turned to look at the man again and sighed. Well, she couldn't lie. He looked handsome, had quite long black hair, dark eye makeup, those long, slim, pale fingers... Maybe it's just a man's style, Stefa shouldn't make early conclusions about someone she doesn't even know.

Bill looked at the phone, which showed 'Tom' as the contact on the screen. Bill picked up his phone and answered his brother, who immediately peppered him with questions.

"How's the cafe? Lots of customers?" Tom asked on the other end of the phone while Bill cautiously scanned every corner of the cafe for something to catch his eye, but his eyes kept locking onto a girl with dark auburn hair. "And what about the employees? There is one new one, her name is Leila, and Stefa has been working for a long time."

"I think there are enough customers," Bill replied after calculating the total number of customers. So far, only ten more, but it's only morning, and not every customer stays in the cafe after ordering. "Well, I can't say anything about the employees, I think they do their job well. They welcome customers warmly and with smiles. And which one of them is Leila?"

"Okay then, everything is as it should be. And Leila, that tall girl with dark brown hair, " Tom replied with a laugh. Tom knew what Bill was doing, watching the cafeteria worker and planning something in his mysterious mind. "Okay, I have a conference coming up, we can meet when I'm done."
