Someday, I'll bring you home. - Part 3

Wang Yi-An shift starts at 7:30 a.m. The restaurant she works at is nearby, it's not like they needed a car, when buses in City Y runs 24/7; it is cheap and convenient as they lived closed by a bus station, just a block away from home. Paying for insurances every month would get expensive, and gases prices goes up, and only a limited amount of parking spots for electric cars in their neighbourhood. It's better to take the bus instead of owning a car, with bus-stops at every corner it's just more affordable for them.

Living nearby her work, she has a bike she used to travel around with, every day she would stroll around her campus, work, and ride her bike home. The restaurant is so closed by, she could walk if she wanted, but she loved her bike so she used it every day.

Wang Yi-An and her mother have to save as much money as possible. Their little home was a recent purchased her mother invested in. They need to pay for mortgages and house bills. Wang Yi-An does not want to be a burden on her mother anymore. She worked hard for her allowance since she was old enough to wash the dishes.

The restaurant Wang Yi-An worked at named, “Happiness” and her mother used to work there at night-time as a dishwasher when she was still only a fetus. Now she is a lot older, she can help out; so her mother stopped during the night and focus at her job at the clinic. Wang Yi-An often comes here to work during her summer vacations since she was young.

Wang Yi-An have a close relationship with the owner, almost like she was a second mother to Wang Yi-An, the owner was a widower, with a son who's five years older than her. He used to watch over her and play with her a lot when she was younger. However, when children grew older, they changed, but they all treated each other like family. The owner, Madam Fung always wanted to have a daughter like Wang Yi-An. She hoped that her son would marry Wang Yi-An, but who could have thought their relationship was nothing more than a brother-sister feeling.

Wang Yi-An rode her bike and parked in her usual spot; she bent down to lock it in place. As she was locking her bike, someone ruffled her hair, “Hey!” she shouted, “stop that!” as she got up and shooed the man away, he is the owner's son, Fung Qi-Wei.

Fung Qi-Wei is average in looks, but like an older brother to Wang Yi-An, he loves ruffling her hair and annoys her. “You came early today.” He said as he smiled at her.

“Why should I have come later?” she ridiculed him as she shooed his hands away. Yet, he still attempts to try again.

He laughed, “Okay, okay, thank you for coming so early! I need your help in the kitchen today!”

She replied “Okay!” to him happily like a little girl, and they would walk into the restaurant together, Fung Qi-Wei would place his hands on her shoulder and ruffled her hair again like she was a little girl. Of course, she would be mad and tried to fix her hair as they got in.

The restaurant was almost like a 24/7 restaurant, they closed shop for two hours from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Madam Fung and her son, Fung Qi-Wei are the owners since it first opened, left to her by her late husband. The mother and son often work together, but they hire other staff members to cover their shifts when they aren't around. Wang Yi-An had worked for them for so long, they trusted her and gave her the managing position at the young age, and most of the time she'll help them deposited money in the bank for them. However, they want her to focus more on school, so she only managed on the weekends.

Happiness Restaurant is a bustling restaurant on the weekend as more people are reluctant to cook on their days off. Regularly on the weekend the mother and son would take the days off and leave everything to Wang Yi-An. But, during a good weather, they would come back and help host the busy crowd. It was a beautiful day outside; no one wants to stay cooped up inside. Spring was an excellent time for business to promote on the weekend. So Madam Fung and Fung Qi-Wei came in for work today.

After a long day of work, Wang Yi-An worked hard the entire day, and before she realised, it was already 10:00 p.m. On the weekends she would always get off this late, while on weekdays she has a shorter shift, depending on her school. Madam Fung sometimes worried about Wang Yi-An, because she worked too hard. Madam Fung pays her under-the-table and gave her cash every day, all the staff members shared the tips, once a week they will receive their tips. Wang Yi-An received her pay daily, and before she went home, Madam Fung paid her salary, they smile at each other before Wang Yi-An returned home.

The entire day, Wang Yi-An had been busy, but what about Yang Tian-Xu? The weekends were his days off, he didn't have to work hard while in school. Because his parents have money, unlike Wang Yi-An who have to work while attending school. He works a simple 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, as the President of Yang Corps. Such a tremendous difference between the two.
