Chapter 3: Happy hormones

Opening of Dopamine 13th branch

This is it, pancit.

Everything's all set. We just finished briefing both existing and new employees.

Our lady baristas Gwen & Sheena look superb with their customized aprons.

Ang Macolet duo naman ay getting ready sa setup ng acoustic performance nila later.

Take note, these girls have been our loyal circle ever since we started the business, they are all doing well naman sa mga family businesses nila pero na enjoy rin nila to help and work with the cafe. Though they don't work regularly but they're always present when we need them.

Most of our loyal customers are related din sa kanila kaya ang bilis nag boom yung business. Grabe yung naging support nila sa amin..

"Ate Aiah, tayo na muna mag try sa photo booth!!" hila sakin ni Sheena

"Girls, tara na muna dito!" I called the rest of the girls

The photo booth is business actually ng family ni Sheena while the catering for today is Gwen's.

Nag collab yung families nila kaya now, they're one of the best event organizers in the city. They have also invested in our cafe, kasi may mga customers na nag interest doon sa coffee truck or coffee booth concept that we suggested to them.

Colet and Maloi naman are actually a thing. I mean, as per Jho's speculations. She feels something going in between them and sabi niya hinihintay lang niya na umamin yung dalawa. Sa ngayon we respect them if they just want to be lowkey, besides super famous niyan nila and talagang dinudumog yan sila ng fans nila pag tumutugtog sila sa branches namin. What more if they'd find out the real score between them.

Despite the differences, talagang ang nag unite sa amin yung cafe. Pag may mga kanya kanyang problema, heartbroken man or what, yung cafe talaga ang naging takbuhan. Yung ideas about the cafe, the interior designs, mostly came from the girls, especially yung new product namin Matcha coffee, the recipe was a suggestion of Maloi and Colet kasi lagi silang nag oout of the country kaya ang dami nilang inputs.

So after a few minutes, the guests started to arrive. Most of them are influencers and nakakataba ng puso to hear compliments coming directly from them na kesyo ito na daw yung pinaka aesthetic na coffee shop sa area.

Exactly at 11:00am we started the program.. Nakaka conscious grabeng daming tao. Jho started her speech, nakikita ko na teary eyed na siya kaya i held her hand.. Feeling ko i'm gonna tear up as well..... Tapos inabot ba naman sakin yung mic.

"...alam namin busy ang lahat, so let's get the party started!" I just cut it short para mas makapag enjoy na yung mga tao.

As we went down the stage, I saw Stacey approaching us.. Siya yung unang singer dito sa cafe namin pero nabigyan siya ng opportunity to be managed by one of the biggest talent agencies in the country. Tine-take pa rin niya yung chance na ma-promote yung cafe especially now na nakikilala na siya..

So as Stacey approached us... after her was a red hair girl.... my heart raced. It was Mikha. Siguro naman hindi na ako nag-iimagine ngayon.

"Girls, please meet my cousin pala, Mikhaela Janna Lim" Stacey said, I saw Mikha rolled my eyes, ang taray.

"Hi Mikha!! Jhoanna here! Finally, nice to meet you! Lagi kang nakkwento ni Stace! Ang prettyyy moooo" but actually, I never heard Mikha from Stacey nor from Jho.
