Phases of Jasmine

Chapter 9 -Flying sass.

   A/N: I'm sorry for this late update.. I've been caught up with a lot of things and time is never on my side. I'm sorry for that

     At exactly 9:30, people started to fill up the board room. I just sat in the break room and began to think. I'm supposed to be at a meeting now, but due to some unfortunate encounter with some Jerk, I'm stuck here having a very hostile meeting with tiny cups and a couple of different drinks under the same name. I checked the time on my wrist-watch and about 8 minutes was gone past the beginning of their meeting. I picked my lazy ass up, as well as my notepad and made my way to the board room.
     Now, how the hell was I supposed to go in, I stood and thought for a minute. Then I remembered how Katie used to come in slowly, opening and closing the door carefully, so as to not make a noise. Her face was always plastered with a very big smile. Man... that was a lot of work. I slowly, opened the door, turned my bck to close the door carefully as I had seen Katie do, then I turned my fake smile plastered face to look at the people whose attention were already drawn towards me.

       Then, I suddenly realised what was in front of me. I knew a handful of the people here. My fake smile suddenly turned into a face of shock and anxiety with mixed feelings of annoyance. C, Krypton and Pixie sat right before my eyes. In case you're wondering, Pixie is Krypton's sister and she and Krypton partner in running the company. Apart from them, a few other unknown faces sat there too. Amidst those unknown faces, sat the ignoramus himself. The biggest nincompoop of all times.

I just stood there wide eyed.  Then this thought struck me to say something. A greeting would work, maybe. But unfortunately for me, my mind works faster than my brain so I ended up saying ;

    "Huh!?"

Then I collected the pieces of my scattered thoughts and blinked myself back to reality.

     "Good morning? " I said asked awkwardly.

      "Good morning" they all replied in unison.

    Luckily for me, these set of people were actually well comported, not being the barbaric tartars, Reed said they would be.
    I walked to them one after the other, in order to get their orders straight.

   I got the first 4 people and then I got to where C, Krypton and Pixie sat.

     "Black will do" Pixie said, smiling at me.

      "Same here" C said almost pitifully but at the same time it looked like she wanted to explode in laughter at my demeanour. I mean, if I were in her shoes, I would have just burst into laughter. And more so my outfit added to the humor. I had a pink hello kitty apron tied around my waist. The other aprons there didn't just suit my taste. I mean, they didn't seem inviting to me. I would just have looked stupid in them. Look at me thinking like I don't look so stupid in this either. Then I thought for a second, C hates black coffee. I came to the realisation that they were just trying to make my work easier because Krypton also asked for the same thing, though he still had that glum expression on his face.

   I walked towards Mr Jerkface and put on my obviously fake smile, and mistake-intentionally slammed my hand on the table in front of him. Nah, I wouldn't say slammed. Just hit. He just looked at me with a smirk plastered on his face. His eyes glimmered with a hint of mischievousness.

      "I would like a cup of Irish coffee. Pour over brew. No froth. No foam." He said blankly.

      Whiskey at work? I thought. To add, he was one of those extra extra people whom Reed had spoken off.

      "Okay" I said eyeing him a bit. Just a bit. A bit (wink).

I made the coffee quick seeing that most people ordered their coffee black. Except 3 contrasts. Mocha, Machiatto and Irish.
C prefers Galaò and hates black coffee. Seeing that she was being so nice, I decided to make her a cup of Galaò with a shot of cinnamon like she enjoys. I was done and ready to go and I didn't forget to add a little too much Whiskey to Jerkface's coffee. Mouhahaha.... I thought, mentally twisting my moustache.

  I got in carefully. Thankfully, they had a housekeeping trolley, so it was pretty easy for me to take in the coffee without spilling.
I served each of them and handed C her coffee, smiling. She saw what was in it and she mouthed aww, pouting.

    "She ordered black." I heard that blockhead say.

     "So why don't you go get her a new cup of coffee? Because as I can see, she's pretty much enjoying what I served her." I returned, sass flying everywhere.

After the flying sass came coughs, chokes and chuckles sputtered in all directions.
