....At this point Elle is losing her hope, she keeps asking her self...(is there still a chance?a chance that a billionaire will marry a barista? of course not!).
At work.
Elle: Good morning sir my name is Elle, how can i give your day a great start?
(he seems familiar i think I've seen him somewhere) Elle said in her head
Costumer: I'll have a macchiato and a bagel.
Elle: Any thing else?
Costumer: No, thats all.
Elle: Okay sir your order number is 072.
(That's weird even his voice sounds familiar!) Elle said in her head
Elle: Order 072! Order 072!
Costumer: *takes the coffee* Thank you! Uhm, your name is Elle, right?.
Elle: Yes!
Costumer: May i ask your full name? Its okay if you dont tell me.
Elle: Uh, I'd rather not say im sorry.
Costumer: Oh no no no no, dont be i was just curious.
Elle: *its conner, my name's Elle conner!*
As he left Elle couldn't take his face out her mind.
She kept thinking about the face she saw in the coffee shop even if she got home.
When she got in to her bedroom she started to investigate, she was thinking about all the people she knew as she walks back and forth in her room. Her curiosness didn't make her join her family for dinner. She started writing notes as if she's a detective, she even stayed awake until 2 in the morning her. Her younger brother Calvin knocked at her door but she didn't answer because she thought it was her mother. Calvin wanted to tell her that her foot steps on her wooden floor can be heard up to his bedroom.
As she was going to eat breakfast her mom noticed she has dark circles, eyebags and swollen eyes.
Mom:Honey is everthing okay?
Elle: Yes mom everythings fine!
Mom: Young lady you how dare you shout at me!
Elle: Im sorry mom, im just not feeling well
Calvin: You're not felling well because you stayed up all night, right?
Dad: Is that true Elle?
Elle: Of course not! maybe its you who stayed up all night calvin!
Calvin: *mocks Elle*
Elle: Oh shut up calvin!
Calvin: You shut up!
Mom: Stop fighting!
Elle: Arghh! i can't stand this im going to work! good bye! *slams the door*
Elle even forgot to get ready all because of her brothers stubbornness
she drove to the coffee shop she can't stop talking about how she hates her brother, because of her anger she almost hit a child on the road luckily she saw the child before she sped up, the parent did not fight Elle because it was her kid who ran to the road. That made Elle even more haggard and pale.
The costumers even gave her weird looks, because of her messy hair, haggard look and she was not the batista they knew.
Her manager was annoyed on the way she looked like, "So, miss conner is anything bothering you? you seem very off today i've never seen you like this before" her manager asked "No sir im fine nothing's bothering me" Elle answered "Is that so? Now Choose! continue acting like this or lose your job?!"her manager yelled "Im so sorry sir I'll do a better job" Elle said trying not to cry.
She did her job well, the costumers smiled and did not give weird looks anymore.
A few minutes before she clocks out, the costumer she was crazy about was in front of her. She smiled, her face lit up. She can't stop smiling
Costumer: I'll have a-
Elle: A macchiato and a bagel?
Costumer: Uh, yes! *smirks*
Elle: May i ask you something?
Costumer: Yes of course!
Elle: May i ask your name?
Costumer: Uhm, yes my name is-
