Iris' POV
"Iris!" I was startled when Miss Dee yelled at me. I rubbed my eyes and I stood up real quick when I saw her standing in front of me with her two hands on her waist.
I fell asleep on the counter. I undergone so many restless nights.
I'm Iris Austen. Currently, at the age of 21, I'm still studying third year college. I'm a working student. I currently worked 6am-11am here at Miss Dee's coffee shop and went to school every 12pm-6pm. It was really stressful. I really don't have time for myself.
My life was miserable. My dad was known as the city's womanizer. Though, he's billionaire, but it doesn't made sense. He just married mom when he saw how beautiful and sexy mom was. And mom agreed because of money. Their marriage was legal. When mom got her first baby which was me, dad treated mom very well as well as her 2nd baby which was my 16 year old sister. But when mom got her 3rd baby which was my 15 year old brother, mom's life changed. Mom haven't experienced support by dad and she was just dumped by him. They splited up and dad had a new relationship with another woman, with his mistresses.
Mom raised me, my brother and sister all by herself. I am really proud of her. I love her so much. She does laundry in our neighborhood and it can't completely provide our needs. My sister was still in high school as well as my brother, I was the one who pays for their school bills. Even if we're poor, I still want my sister and brother to finish their study. That's why, I really work hard and I was studying really hard to help my family's need.
When I was in my childhood stage, dad and mom spoiled me. They gave me everything I wanted. Headbands, dresses, dolls, expensive princess' castle, light up shoes, sandals and even make ups. In terms of food, dad spoiled me with everything I wanted to eat even if it worth millions of dollar. That's why, I grew up like a pig because of excess fat. When I was in grade school, I was the laughing stock in our school. But I had a bestfriend and was my knight in shining armour. She always protect me from those bullies. But all the memories we had vanished. I am still very fat. Sadly, I don't have time for my self, I don't have time for gyms either. I often wore my vintage sneaker, sweater, and my ripped jeans.
"I'm sorry ma'am." on her late fourtys, Miss Dee was still young in face. She doesn't have children. Though she's very strict, but she still had that kind heart of hers. She gave me enough salary for my family's needs and house bills.
"Please, concentrate with your work."
"I'm really sorry ma'am." I slightly bowed my neck .
"Don't be dumb Iris." my idle co worker and her idle girlfriend spoke.
"Alright. We had a costumer." she pointed her index finger on the two men sitting.
I followed my eyes on them. There were two men wearing tuxedos sitting, facing each other. The other man was wearing sunglasses which I assumed we had same age.
I approached them.
"Good morning sir, may I take your order?"
"One cup of Kapi Luwak miss." the other man said.
Whoaa! They must be very rich.
"How about you sir?"
"One cup of espresso will do." the man said. He had a manly and husky voice. But I couldn't see his face clearly because of his sunglasses.
"Okay sir."

Zeus' POV
"What?! This must not be happening!" I shouted. I really couldn't believe that my bank account was stolen.
"All of you!! Go and figure out who stole my bank account! Right now!" I pointed my assistants and bodyguards.
I was totally mad. I just really hate thieves.
"Sir, you must calm yourself. Coffee might help you." Giovann Johnson, my personal assistant said.
"Are you serious? Coffee's very hot and my head was hot too."
"Okay." he shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah, you're right. It might help."

Zeus' POV
"Iris!" I heard an old woman shouted.
"We're already 10 minutes in here." I said. It was my first time in here. I really hate waiting for too long.
"Exactly sir."
Literally two minutes later, a fat, brunette thick curled haired girl who wore a grimy barista uniform approached us with her mini pad on her hand. Her eyes was so familiar to me. It was like I've seen her already long time ago.
"May I take your order sir?" she faced me.
"One cup of Kapi Luwak miss." Giovann said professionaly.
"How about you sir?" Giovann asked me.
"One cup of espresso will do." I just want a normal coffee for relief.
"Okay sir."
After a few minutes, she now served our coffee.
"This taste so good. The best espresso ever." I said to Giovann.
"Really sir?"
"Of course." I sipped the coffee.
"Alright, we should go now."
I leaved a thousand dollar bills on the table.

Iris' POV
The two men are leaving now. I headed to the table which they occupied a while ago to get the money.
Whoaa! They must be very rich!!
I get the money and told miss Dee about it and she's glad because of what she just heard.
It was already 10am and my work was done. We are just three workers in the coffee shop. I worked every morning and the two idle couple in the afternoon.
"Bye miss Dee."
"Okay Iris take care."
