Chapter 4

"Hi, om my god! A lot of sweat and tired eyes, have this chilled coffee, I made for you." I went to my boss when I found him sitting on a chair and resting. The restaurant was full with people, I still took out little time only to make his favourite drink.

At first he looked me with suspect but then slurped the drink on an instant.

"Tell me what you want?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I was shocked.

"I know why you made this drink, for obvious, you need something from me."

I shook my head and smiled. Told him about the midnight club opening of South Sancrisco and how eager I was to go there. "Please grant me an early leave. Please!"

"You will get leave but not today and not even tomorrow, maybe the next day." He told.

"What the heck? Why would I need a holiday day after tomorrow?" I said angrily. "I need today. Please …. Please." I fell down on his knees, begged him, prayed him but the hell-born macho was stiffed on his words. When I realized I was losing, I squirmed like a little baby and began weeping ....

"Ok …stop." He roared. "You will get early leave, only if you are able to finish these. " He handed me a paper and I read a list of things written on it.

"Whose birthday are we going to celebrate?"

"Don't you know Mr. Nichloas's only son is arriving today from Germany. On the occasion of his arrival we are going to celebrate a grand welcome for him."

"And that's why you want me to prepare these things. It won't finish anyway." I said rolling my eyes because there were a lot of things mentioned that need to be taken care of for the guests who would be coming tomorrow.

"Then forget about early leave," he said and got off his chair.

"Asshole" I murmured.

Kelsey came running to me and she was too awestruck by the piece of news. Since she was a waiter, she was given a day off today because tomorrow we all would be working extra hours but " why me?"

"I am an assistant chef, I have to arrange things, you go home."

"What about our plan to go tonight."

"Consider it cancelled coz I know I cannot finish all these today," I said shrugging off my shoulders and patiently doing my work. Because when I loose my calm & my serenity, I turned into a disaster for others. I did not want to hurt Kelsey or any other chefs in the kitchen.

I have realized I do not have peace in my life. All I have is stress and tension.

While I was into my zone of depression. Kelsey picked a glass of water and threw it in my face.

"What are you doing?"

"Stop being dramatic!" She said snatching away the paper from my hand and handling a piece of cloth. "Clear your face and we will go tonight, no matter what! I will try my best to get you the early leave."

Kelsey went on to get me things that I required and I boosted up my energy to finish my work as soon as possible.

"It will take an hour to bake, till then you go home, get dress and I will change in car."

"You sure!" I simply nodded and waved my hand. I hardly had any energy left in me. I was just damn tired to even walk to the door, get a tram and return home.

Not even an ounce of immunity left in me. All I was just imagining that "She will bring me the dress, I will change in the car, she will drive and we will dance tonight."

"Do I have enough strength to dance when my tiny legs which are already shaking?"
