Chapter 2

Liana

I didn't reply to Oliver's last mail and went to bed after that. The next morning, I went back to check on the Cafe. The regular customers came in as soon as the sign said opened and everyone rushed in to get their orders before rushing to the office. Once the rush hour faded I went to the mini office, that was available for me as I looked through the things and deliveries of things for the Cafe. It was a really tough job when you have to make sure everything is going alright. Stacy said I can relax because she thinks that I am actually getting stressed by small things.

I am worried that the customers won't be able to order their everyday thing just because we don't have the ingredients for it. It would actually sucks and I take my jobs seriously even though it have nothing to do with art work. I am getting paid to do something that is expected and Stacy saying that I can slack off a bit made me roll my eyes at her comment.

During my break, I sat to do some drawing so I can upload online later today as it is a due date for uploading. My phone buzzed and I see a text from Stacy.

"Hey, where are you?"

I found it pretty weird with the 'hey' part because usually Stacy goes with Li,

"At Cafe." I texted back.

"Which Cafe?"

"Yours?" I texted confused.

"How do you like the location of the Cafe?"

"It is great, the business is doing really well because it is in Downtown area."

"How about the place?"

"You mean Seattle? Or your Cafe?" By now I was confused as heck by Stacy's text.

"Yea. Seattle."

"It is nice, but I don't know anyone here can be really tough at times."

"I will talk to you later, customers!"

I had a little feeling that it was someone else with the way the text was sent, but I immediately dismissed the thoughts. Stacy soon called me and she asked what I was doing.

"Break?" I said.

"Your man was here." She said to me and I made an 'Oh' sound.

"For what?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Seem like the girl he is with, wanted to have sandwiches from here." And that pinched my heart. "Are you okay?" She asked. "I didn't really want to tell you, but if you find out later and be upset with me.."

"It doesn't really matter." I lied to her. "I am fine. We moved on, didn't we?"

"Yea and you never told me the reason." She said accusing me and I shake my head.

"Are you still planning to do your work online? Why not try to get it published?" Stacy said.

"I don't really know what I want to do." I said honestly. I don't know if I should bring out the topic that Oliver mailed me last night about an offer that I would have immediately took, 6 months back.

"You just have to open the door, opportunities are coming your way, it is just you have to allow it to happen." She said to me.

"I know.." I said. "Right now. I like how things are."

"Liana." She said and when she does that I know things are going to be serious. "I know you like comfort zones, we all do. You have to step out of your comfort zone and explore things. We all do make some stupid mistakes,but we learn from it also we  never know some stupid mistakes may lead you to a beautiful mistakes."
