[2 YEARS LATER]

[IN VOICE CALL]

Amelia: Yes mom.. Yeahh... Yeahhh... I've already finished my breakfast. Don't worry. And now please hang up the call otherwise I'll be late for the cafe.

Amelia's Mom: (disturbing voice) How many times have I told you that you don't need to do any part time job. I can send you money. But you don't just listen to me.

Amelia: (very softly) And how many times have I told you that I'll not take any penny for my admission. Please I want to do it by myself.

Amelia's Mom: Then what is the significance of earning money of mine?

Amelia: Mom, Already you're spending more for my living. But this is what I want to do on my own.

Amelia's Mom: Okay okay.... Whatever. I know my daughter is bigger than me. What can I say? Anyways take care of yourself.

Amelia: (chuckling) Yeppp.... Ok bye.

Amelia's Mom: Bye baby.

[Quickly she changed into her casual skinny fit jeans, paired with a pink shirt and grabbed her backpack. She went out of her house and double checked the lock.]

[Within 15 to 20 minutes of walking she reached a cafeteria. She looked at the name of the cafe which showed the name 'Café Wild Beans'. She went to the backdoor which was reserved for employees and entered the cafe.]

[The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cafe was decorated in a rustic, yet modern style with wooden tables and chairs, cozy booths along the walls, and large windows that allowed natural light to flood the space. Potted plants and strings of fairy lights added a touch of charm and vibrancy to the room. The counter was lined with an assortment of pastries, cakes, and cookies displayed under glass domes, while the menu board above showcased a variety of coffees, teas, and specialty drinks. The soft hum of conversation mixed with the clinking of dishes and the occasional hiss of the espresso machine.]

[She made her way through the cafe, weaving between tables occupied by customers enjoying their morning beverages and snacks. She quickly went to the changing room and came out wearing a black tee where on the right the name of the cafe printed on it and black pants. She kept her bag in one of the locker and then she approached the counter where her coworkers were busy taking orders and preparing drinks.]

Amelia: (cheerfully) Morning everyone! (To a girl) Hiii Sarah!

Sarah: Hey Amelia! (frothing milk for a latte) Ready for another busy day?

Amelia: (smiling) You bet! (tying her apron around her waist.)

[Someone called her from behind.]

Person: Glad to see you, Amelia.

Amelia: (turned back) Ohh hey Oswald.. Glad to see you too. Mr. Manager.

[Oswald laughed at her approach,]

Oswald: Anyways this'll be a busy day. Hope you can manage.

Amelia: (checking the order list) Yeah we all can manage.

[The time was passing. When it was time for her lunch suddenly Oswald came to her and approached her.]

Oswald: Heyy, busy???

Amelia: (stuffing mashed potatoes in her mouth) No.... Not at all tell me..

Oswald: Actually I'm in a problem. Can you please help me.

Amelia: What happ? (Resting the spoon in her tiffin box)

Oswald: Actually the problem with these....
