Part-time Job
Third Person's POV
June 3, 2xx1
After being teased by Flint, Atlas decided to continue walking to avoid being embarrassed.
Alia and Beatrice decided to stay behind while walking.
Flint the slave decided to catch up with Flint.
They reached the Ligaya Boarding House after a few minutes of walking.
Flint left the shopping bags in front of Beatrice and Alia's Room.
"Hey, Atlas! We need to find a job!" Flint said as soon as they entered their own room.
"You see, my bank accounts are frozen because of the incident with Beatrice I don't think she has forgiven me yet I can't go home to get money. Think of a plan!" Flint urged Atlas.
Atlas sat down in his bed and said: "I'm planning to find a job as well because I lost my money in the Fire incident"
"Where can we find one? Do you know how to get a job?" Flint asked him as he sat down on his bed as well.
"Let's get a part-time job! The one that will provide us dinner so that we'll not spend more money on food" Atlas said
"What's a part-time job?" Flint asked him
"It's a job where you only need to work a little amount of time per day, it's a very good option for students like us!" Atlas said
"Ohh so that's what it is!" Flint said
*Grumble*
Flint's stomach made a sound.
Atlas chuckled, "Let's go get some dinner first," Atlas said
"I only have 1000 pesos, how about you?" Flint asked
"Were about the same!" Atlas said
"Whatever let's just don't pig out this time and we'll be fine," Flint said
"Wow! Look who's talking? A thief calling others a thief!" Atlas said
Flint just chuckled.
"Let's go!" Flint said
While walking Flint told what happens to him this afternoon, "How about you? Why are you holding hands with Kathleen? Huh?" Flint brought back the topic and teased Atlas again.
"I-I don't know!" Atlas said obviously trying to avoid the topic.
"Let's just go! I'm hungry as well" Atlas said as he pulled Flint to walk faster.
They've arrived in the cheap-looking restaurant.
"Oh! You're here again! Good Evening!" the same waitress greeted them.
"You've brought money this time, right?" the waitress chuckled as she recognized the two of them.
Both Flint and Atlas chuckled in embarrassment and scratch the back of their head.
"Okay come in come in!" The waitress decided to stop teasing them and just let them inside.
While walking inside Atlas saw a poster saying "Wanted Waiter" he immediately told Flint about it.
"Fatty look they're looking for waiters!" Atlas said as he points out the poster.
"Oh, that we've already found news they are actually training now." The waitress said before Flint could reply to Atlas.
"Ahh see," Atlas said dejectedly.
'Wait what are you doing boy! Look at the refrigerator' the old man emerged after seeing their situation.
'Huh? What about it?' Atlas asked in confusion.
'*sigh* Look at it use the rubrics cube!' The old man sighed and instructed Atlas
'Do you really think I made this rubrics cube just to scan length and width? *Face Palm*' the old man said
'Ohh okay!' Atlas said seemingly getting the point of the old man.
'Scan' Atlas commanded as he looked at the refrigerator.
Scanning

The refrigerator became a grid-pattern with a shape of a refrigerator, and several information started to roll in front of his eyes again.

'Woah! It can even see through problems of appliances!' Atlas exclaimed in surprise!
"If I'm not wrong your refrigerator is leaking water, right?" Atlas said to the waitress
"Oh, that? It's common among old refrigerators!" the waitress said
"The freezer isn't cold enough as well!" Atlas continued to point out.
"Woah! How did you know that?!" the waitress exclaim she thought that Atlas was just guessing back when he said that their ref is leaking, but the way he's speaking now it's like as if he's been working here for more than a month to notice that!
"It's easy we're engineering students this is definitely natural!" Atlas boasted in order for the waitress to believe in him, not many can actually tell this by observation only!
"I can fix it if you want!" Atlas offered
"Okay wait for me here! I'll call our boss" the waitress said as she runs towards the kitchen.
"Woah! Bud how did you know that?!" Flint asked in astonishment after seeing how Atlas discovered the problem of the Refrigerator.
"That – uhm I've read about it in a book!" Atlas quickly thought of an excuse. Even though they're friends there still some secrets that shouldn't be said.
"Ma'am he's the one who said that!" The waitress said to her boss as she points to Atlas.
"Oh, so you're the one who said you can fix our refrigerator huh?" The woman who appears to be in here mid-'30s said.
'Boy, you better not stutter this time otherwise they won't believe you!' the old man said to Atlas.
'How can I not stutter! There's a gorgeous lady in front of me!' Atlas said back to the old man
The lady who's in her mid-30's is definitely gorgeous for her age, with her curly hair and curvy body, anyone will fall for her.
'Aish, let me use your body!' the old man said as he controlled the body of Atlas.
'Wait-'
~Swoosh!~
"Hi! I'm Atlas an Engineer—ring students (Crap I almost forgot I'm in Atlas body) I saw that you're refrigerator seems to have a problem, I can fix it for you!" the old man in Atlas' body said.
"I heard from Shirley that you're looking for a job, well if you can fix that I'll the both of you a slot!"
"Okay deal!" the old man in Atlas' body said as he accepted the deal.
He goes towards the Refrigerator.
'Look Atlas, the most common issue about leakage and temperature control, it may seem complicated but it's actually very easy to fix' the old man said as he cranked the refrigerator.
'These issues are usually because of a simple problem, very simple that I can compare it to a speck of dust literally!' the old man continued his explanation.
'The reason for the leaking is the blockage in the defrost drain, and just like a tube if there's blockage remove the thing that causes the blockage and it's done!' the old man explained in the most simple manner as he removed the blockage.
'The next problem is the temperature, the cause of this is the compressor, the compressor is the heart of the refrigerator if it's faulty the refrigerator won't work. The common reason for this is the dust, a compressor is a motor, if there's dust in there it will result in varying results. So it is important to keep it clean and lubricated.' The old man said to Atlas still explaining patiently his knowledge to Atlas.
'You'll learn this in future for now take note of this' the old man said as he withdrew from Atlas' body
'Thanks old gramps!' Atlas gratefully said
"There it's finished wait for a few minutes to see the results and it's done!" Atlas said to them.
"Okay both of you are hired!" the lady boss said
"REALLY?!" Flint exclaimed in surprise!
"Let's go the office to discuss your contract," the lady boss said.
After 30 mins.
"How about start working now? It's 6:15 pm you'll be out at 9:00 pm how about it? but you're schedule next time is 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm okay?"
"Yes ma'am!" both of them replied
After they got out Flint turned his head to Atlas.
"Bud you really are my lucky star!!!" Flint said to Atlas
Atlas just chuckled at the remarks of Flint.
"Imagine, I only need to welcome the guest while you only need to check the appliances here and we're getting paid 15,000 pesos monthly!" Flint said
"Yeah, I'm glad that the lady boss liked us!" Atlas said
What they didn't know was that the lady boss is a subordinate of Flint's Parents, this restaurant is actually his!
*Kring* *Kring*
"Boss I've given them the job, the boy your son is with is a talent! He only needs a few minutes to fix a ref! Boss your son has found himself a great buddy!" the lady boss reported to Flint's father.
"*chuckles* he has his old man's eye for talent you see!" Flint's father proudly said.
"Continue to watch him!" Mr. Ford ordered
"Yes boss!" The lady boss said.
It turns out that Flint was still being watched by his parents even though they appear to disregard him until he's forgiven by Beatrice.
8:00 am
"Good Evening ma'am! Table for two?" Flint welcomed the guest enthusiastically.
The guest of the restaurant keeps on coming and Flint is finally realizing how hard his job actually is even though it appears to be simple. He's back started to ache after standing for more than an hour!
"Good morning ma-am – oh?" Flint's greeting was interrupted when he saw the guest.
"What are you doing here PERVERT?" Beatrice asked him after seeing him in a waiter's uniform.
'He looks quite cute—wait no- no- no way!' Beatrice felt conflicted inside after seeing Flint's Teddy bear body in a waiter's suit.
"Atlas and I decided to work here! Come inside are you eating?" Flint answered while reverting back to his waiter's attitude.
"What do you think we're here for? To sleep? Of course, it's to eat!" Beatrice yelled to Flint, perhaps it's the only way for her to vent her confusions to Flint.
"Oh sorry come inside then!" Flint was already used to Beatrice's Attitude, so he doesn't mind getting yelled at.
