Craig's POV

It's 8 am and I'm sitting at my usual spot. I have my laptop open in front of me, just doing the morning routine: check emails, go over my schedule, check my stocks, and so on. I have to be at work in 45 minutes. I shift my eyes and look at beyond the working station. I see Tweek making my café au lait while talking to four of his minions.

Five months have passed since that night when I proposed to invest on Nightingale. It wasn't simple as I visioned in my head... The following day, Tweek showed up with Kyle, whose apparently is his lawyer, and dropped a mountain of contracts right in front of me. My first reaction was... Siiiiiigh. Followed by "ok, let's get over with this shit" to which Tweek reacted with "Take this shit seriously, you asshole!" I am investing money in his business... And I am the asshole. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why he did it... But he could have done it without bringing a lawyer... Especially Kyle.

Anyways, after we were done with contracts and banking transactions, Tweek hired four new employees and made Butters the manager. Butters refused to take the money... But after I threatened him to woop his ass unless he takes the money, he accepted to the agreement. It was a "shut up and take my money" moment. After hiring the minions, Tweek would come in to train them and went over business management with Butters.

As time goes by, Nightingale began to run on autopilot. Tweek came up with new items and improvement for his shop which helped the business to boom. He is doing great and I finally got to spend more time with him.

Tweek's POV

I pour the hot milk into Craig's coffee while going over schedules to my employees--funny thing, Craig still hasn't learned their names, so he just called them Minion 1, 2, 3, and 4. We are going on a short trip in Aspen so I have to make sure the guys are prepared to conduct their jobs properly.

"... And lastly, don't let Butters do all the jobs. He tend to over do it... Remind him that you are here to work as well" I conclude the conversation and take the cup of Cafe au Lait into my hand. "Thank you so much guys for doing such a great job! Keep up with the good work ok?"

"Sure! Don't worry about it! We won't let you down" Josh exclaims with a smile.

"Craig has been staring at you for a while now..." Kelly whispers to mean.

"Oh, don't mind him. He is just grumpy because he hasn't gotten his coffee yet" I chuckle, putting down the cup on a tray, walked to the display fridge, and grab a slice of strawberry shortcake with the tongs.

"He is very... Intimidating" Danielle comments as she glances at Craig, who  went back to focus on his laptop. "Do you want me to bring that to him?"

"It's ok, I got this" I smile and pick up the tray with coffee and cake on it. "Just take care of the other customers and go over the recipes"

The Josh, Kelly, Danielle, and George nod at me. I smile. I am so happy that I took time in conducting a seminar before hiring new guys. They proved themselves to be reliable and responsible. They are a couple of years younger than me but are very mature. I can totally go to that getaway weekend in Aspen with Craig without worrying too much... Plus, I installed more security cameras so I can always keep an eye on them.

"You should really stop staring at them like that" I put down the tray on "Craig's Table" and set the Cafe au Lait and shortcake in front of him. "You're making them nervous"

Craig's POV

"You're making them nervous" Tweek says to me as he sets my breakfast in front of me.

"Why would they feel nervous?" I close the laptop and push it to the side. I reach for the cup and bring it to my mouth. I blow on it before taking a sip. "Yummy~ this is the best"
