The clock shows that it is already 7.50 pm
her shift is gonna end soon
while she's working on the dishes, her phone suddenly ringing
"Anne," she quickly put the dishes down and answer the phone call
"hello?"
"are you done? I'm on my way to pick you up,"
"no need, I can walk myself home,"
"just shut up your mouth,"
"fine,"
"you want something to eat?"
"no, I already—"
"hey," out of nowhere, Julie was glanced at at her
she comes without a footsteps
not even at the right time
"I told you don't look, talk, play, or touch your phone while working," she's looks disappoint, her face is not the same as the first time they meet that morning
"no, I just picked up my phone a few minutes ago,"
"hm? but the dishes are still piled up, you're too slow," her voice was loud, and most of the staff were looking at her
"It's keep coming when I'm done with the other..."
"can you just shut your mouth and just hear me?"
she was just being told to 'shut up' twice by this moment
"I-I'm sorry,"
"ugh, you're so annoying," Julie walked back to counter place leaving her alone again
Dean was too stunned to speak
her mouth totally staggered
"Hello? Dean? Dean!" Anne shouted her name from the phone call, looks like forgot to put it down
"Anne..."
"what happened? I just hear Julie's voice,"
"n-nothing, she just tutored me,"
"are you serious?"
"I'm getting there, wait,"
she didn't answer
she was silent for a while, continuing her dishes even though her shift already ended a few minutes ago
it was time to get ready to go home and wait for Anne to pick her up
"hey you can go now, someone else will do it after you," said that one staff that looking at her earlier
she stood up and took her bag on the back shelf
she saw Anne standing all alone outside, while her went to approach her friend, someone hit her shoulder
looks like he was in hurry somehow was late to work
he turns back
"sorry," he said and walked inside the restaurant
Dean still keeps her mouth shut and ignores that boy's actions
not even look at him
"hey, what takes you so long?"
"sorry, I didn't watch the clock,"
"come on, how is it?"
"good, so far,"
"you meet Eric huh?"
"meet who?"
she looks back at the restaurant
there was a guy, busy picking up the orders from the customer
"I bet not yet huh?"
