Ella's POV
I walked into the cafe hurriedly after showing my ID to the security guards at the entrance of the building. I saw interviewers in one area of the Cafe with Ben, my boss. He deserved every attention that he was getting because this cafe was one of the best here and he had many other restaurants around the world that were doing well too. I watched as he answered their questions with ease and i couldn't help but admire him.

I loved cooking a lot. It was the one thing that reminded me so much about my late father.I remember asking him why he had not been a chef instead of a Business man and he said that he had to take over the family business because he didn't want to hurt his family and I remember telling him that I was going to fulfill his dreams and study culinary arts.I brushed the thought of my father off my mind because I was not ready to cry in a public place,on my first day of work.

I walked into the changing room and got changed into my uniform plus this uniform was really of high quality. I walked to the booth assigned to me by Chef Michelle and I started making burgers,fries and normal junk with the chefs recipe. She insisted of tasting my food yesterday and I had made her one of my specials and she loved it so I was here making food for the customers.

This place was so classy yet homey in a way. We had several booths assigned to us with a phone on standby Incase anyone wanted to make a order. I must say that Ben was really creative when this place was designed because it looked like a normal cafe but in a classy way and we had the access to free WiFi here. I downloaded some of my favorite songs and even surfed the internet.

"Brrrrrrrrr!!!!" The phone on the desk rang and I picked it up.

"Hello Anderson's code cafe here." I said politely.

"Yeah I know that." Wow this person was rude.

"So can you please place your orders." I continued in my most polite voice rolling my eyes.

"Yes I'll just get fries,milkshake,two burgers and lasagna." He said and I took down his order.

"What's your address please?"

"Tony's residence and I want it in fifteen minutes." and with that he hung up.

I rushed to get his food ready and I gave it to the delivery guys. It took me fifteen minutes to get everything ready and maybe it was going to take the delivery guys another five minutes to get there.I worked tirelessly and I bonded with the staff here.The more I talked to them,the more information they could give me about the Anderson's.

Like Taylor for example, She worked in the booth next to mine where they made cakes.She was a blabber mouth but her vibe was so contagious.She had a way of making people laugh even when we were tired but there was something about her,something fishy.I was quick to read people even when they tried to conceal their plans or attitude.

"You know..Mr Stones is so hot and I can't wait to get married to him." She said grinning widely.

"Married to him?" I giggled with my eyebrows raised.

"A girl can only dream Ella besides I have a party on Saturday and I'll like you to be there."

A party? Oh no..She was really nice but I do not want anybody to be involved in my mess and by the way I was still not so sure about her.

"I have this family thing on Saturday so I don't think I'll be able to come." I lied

"Oh bummer..I'll invite you to the next one and this time no excuses."
