Heartbeat Song

Chapter 57

A/n: Hey guys! I'm back! Been away for a few weeks again. I've been trying to get out of the house and apply for a job, and now after a few weeks of waiting, going through the application process and a lot of praying, thank God, I finally got the job! Yey! I'll be working at the Department of Foreign Affairs soon. But before anything else, I would like to finish this story so there won't be any conflict when I finally start working next month.

There's still a lot to be done in this story and although I know that my schedule is tight, I'll see what I can do. For now, let me answer the last question for all of you guys - listening to music through loudspeaker or headphones? I prefer both. It usually depends on my location. When I'm traveling on a bus or staying in another place, a headphone or an earphone works great. But when I'm left alone at home, or even when everybody's at home, I usually play music through our loudspeakers :)

Here's the next question: Summer or winter?

I had to get out of the car as soon as Matthew decided to tease me with him calling me babe.

It's not that I'm against it, but I don't like it either.

I told him to go home and I'll take care of myself and my hungry stomach. I'm now at the restaurant after all.

I step into the dining hall and see how crowded the restaurant is. I should've gone through the back door.

Then I realized that I missed it. I really did. And I know that I'm going to miss it even more.

I walk towards the counter, Fiona, of all people, walks right in front of me. 

"Look who's back." She hisses. Her friend Cathy is, as usual, on her tail.

I don't want to waste my precious time dealing with her, so instead of barking back at her, which she would really like to happen, I turn my attention towards the Elly, the sister of the always cheerful Ella. Elly is a new part of the crew. Although, she's not really new to us. She used to do some extra tasks for the couple before, just like what Cindy and I used to do. 

Before, it was Mrs. Engel who handles the cashier, but now, ever since Mr. Engel got hospitalized, they both decided to focus more on their well-being, particularly on their health. And just handle the usual 

It's all thanks to Cindy. Cindy suggested that idea to the couple.

Just like Ella, Elly greets me with a warm smile, but you can notice on her physique and gesture that she's really quite mature than Ella. Either way, they're both beautiful.

"Anna, it's good to see you again!" I'm about to greet her back when someone came out of nowhere, giving me a tight hug.

"Anna!" Guess who?

"What happened to you? Are you okay? I missed you - we missed you! I'm so glad you're back!"

"Ella, thank you for the very tight hug, I really appreciate it but, will you let me go now?" Because I feel like I'll be having trouble breathing soon enough...

"Oh! Yes, of course!" 

"Ella, you're on duty, go and move!" The always bitter Fiona hisses once again, and Ella, she can just slightly scowl at her before going out to the dining hall. 

I walk towards the kitchen and find Lenard, Janice, Paul, and Laura doing their tasks. 

"Oh, you're really here!" Laura, our dishwasher smiles at me.
