A ROYAL SCANDAL

It felt like I was drowning, but I had to remind myself that everything was going to be fine and that I was still alive. 


"So, this is where you'll be working, and your duties are very simple." 


"All you'll need to do is put on a happy, friendly smile for the customers, take their orders, and also make sure that they receive everything they ordered."

"You know that the job isn't that complex, right?" he teased playfully. 


I smiled at him and tucked my notepad into the pocket of my apron. 


"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just a bit nervous." 


"Don't worry, it's okay. I remember my first day. I was a total chatterbox, especially around beautiful girls like you." 


I could feel the heat in my cheeks, so I looked away, pretending to be distracted.
