Wenrene Seekers

Smile Hasn't Left Her Eyes

"Happiness! Welcome to Luvies Café, what's your order Ma'am?"

"One coffee caramel, large."

With her usual big smile on her face, Wendy nodded to the customer's order as she punched it in the cash register. After she told the amount of her order, the customer gave her the exact amount. She printed the receipt and gave it to the customer together with her buzzer. Her order will be automatically processed.

"Wendy! Can you do this order first? I need to go to the bathroom."

She looked at her coworker Yeri then she gladly nodded. It looks like nature's emergency. She immediately left her register because there's no new customers yet. She gets the receipt and it only says one americano. She walks to the back and gets the freshly brewed coffee and pour it in the mug. She got a sticky note and put the name of the customer.

Miss Irene 😊

She put the mug on the tray and put it to the counter. She pushed the buzzer number. When she noticed that there was no one claiming the order, she shouted the name.

"Miss Irene!"

Wendy looks around, traveling her eyes with the customers that there's no order yet but everyone is busy. She tried to find the owner of the coffee but no one was standing.

"Miss Irene?"

Wendy asked when her sight couldn't just move away as a lady wearing a beige coat with white knitted blouse, partnered with cream colored pants and knee high boots was elegantly walking towards the counter. She doesn't wear heavy make up and just looks naturally ethereal beauty on her face. She smiled at Wendy.

"I'm sorry about that. I'm Irene."

"Jabushasha."

"Pardon?"

Wendy shakes her head when she realizes what she just blabber in front of the customer.

"T-the c-coffee! Y-yes. That's right." She slightly pushed the tray with her order.

She just nodded then smiled again at her. She gives back the buzzer, gets her coffee and goes back to her table beside the window. She leaned on her seat as she glanced outside.

Wendy looks outside to see what the lady is looking at but it is just the normal street in their location.

Is there something fascinating?

Wendy was startled when a cold hand touched her shoulder. It's Yeri and her hand is still wet. Maybe she just washed her hands.

"Hey. Why are you still here? There's already a lot of customers. You can go back to your work area. Thanks."

She went back to her register to get customers' orders. Sometimes she steals glances at the customer beside the window. She saw how the lady sighs every time. After a while, she stood up and left the café. She didn't even touch her ordered coffee.

"Miss Irene." Wendy utterly whispered. Is that her name? Beautiful.

~~~~~~~~~

"Miss Irene!"

Wendy's head immediately looked at her side as if it had its own control. She saw Yeri shout the name of the customer when no one was claiming the order after pressing the buzzer. She looks around to see if she's the same Irene from yesterday. Her lips automatically formed a smile when saw a lady in a black long sleeve blouse and white slacks. It's her again.

She is sitting again on the same table as yesterday then she leaned again on her seat as she looked outside. She looked totally a normal customer beside the fact that she didn't even touch her ordered coffee.
