The first week of work was relatively smooth and calm. I was gradually taught how to make the menu step by step. My workload wasn't really heavy.
Apart from learning how to prepare food in the morning, I was mainly delegated to cleaning the counters, clearing the tables, and occasionally washing the dishes.
I was able to make some quick bucks helping others do the hard stuff and take some of their daily pay, and by the end of the week, I was able to pay a bit of the debt, promising the director I would complete the payment by the end of the month.
I was made to know Mr. Pottice doesn't come around often and the shop is usually run by Gazelle who was his niece
Surprised I remembered Jeffrey's warning but I brushed it aside treating it as Jeffrey's paranoia but so was I wrong for that and was taught a hard lesson through the remaining days of the month
There was a particular incident where I was given a specific order after preparing the dish. I placed it on the counter and rang the bell, but a minute later, Gazelle called me, telling me I got the wrong order again. I rememberedJeffrey's warning, but I went against them.
I argued that it was her that got the order wrong, she had looked at me straight in the eyes for a good ten seconds Jeffery had even came tried to diffuse things but I was just irritated from overwork and lack of sleep I ranted for a good three minutes before I realized what I had done. I tried to salvage the situation but it was beyond repair
The next morning, the moment I came it was work upon work, task upon task. She gave me most of the order even if other were free
And again I argued that the other were free but she insisted siting if I didn't accomplish the Task she was going to duck my days pay
With no other choice I was worked like a dog to the point of exhaustion, no breaks not even a chance to sit down
This continued to the point I couldn't take it anymore. I was doing the work of three to four people and getting only about a single person's pay. It was unfair!
I reached out to Mr pottice momentarily forgetting if Mr pottice could trust his niece, his family member with a ship that big how will he side with pityfull worker like me.
He promised to visit the next day
A day later I came a bit late due to over sleep,Gazelle wasn't at the counters and I noticed no one was slacking off. I could note Mr pottice was around
Quickly changing into my work clothes I joined the other with cooking and taking orders, for some reason today's traffic was a lot
At noon I was called into Mr pottice officer where he explained and complained about my work ethics apparently Gazelle twisted the story. I tried to explain but it escalated the issue further to the point he docked three days pay and if I didn't show up in those three days, I was fired
Getting home that day I was tired and frustrated my next decision was to call Sarah and report her dad to her but as I was about to dial her number
I realized how stupid I was, she helped me find a job at her father's company and I was calling back not to thank her but to report
" You are so dumb and stupid trevour" I chuckled to myself " God am hungry...what can I eat" heading to the little kitchen by the living room...
David's pov
Cling! Chang!
The sound of metal object and pans rang throught the kitchen the idle chatter of the customer streaming into my ear
Sizzle sizzle!
The oil sizzle around the meat, flipping the meat I glanced at the clock
2 : 00pm
Time to make the call!
" Anna please take over, am going to use the washroom"i called out to Anna we exchanged glances which I blinked
Turning into an adjacent corridor I stepped into the room on the left. The locker room.
Heading to the far end I opened the door and entered the washroom. Choosing a cubicle at random I entered
Ensuring it was locked I pulled out my phone, typing in a pre memorized number and dialed
Ring ring! Ring ring...
"Right on time boy, you got this in you" I deep voice came from the other end " how is the plan"
" It going well boss, I will approach him today and hopefully by the end of the week we would have him in our grasp" I answered
" God, be careful and of course stay quiet hahaha..."
Toot!
The line cut!
Rising from my seat I returned to the kitchen taken back the station from Anna I thanked her and we shared another glance which I nodded too. She smiled and walked of swaying her plump sexy butt
Licking my lips I flipped the meat glacing around for Trevour our target. He was kneading a dough
" Poor guy didn't know what was coming for him" I smiled
Quicky taking care of the order I walked up too him
" Hey Trevour " I said hanging my arm on his solder
" Heyyy...David..what's up" he seems surprised. Nobody has been close with him after he foolishly went against Gazelle
" Nothing just....." I glanced around seeing no one sight I continued" I heard some news"
" What news "
" About how you killed your family for inheritance Trevour" I whispered in his ear my voice ringing like the harbinger of death
He shook eyes widening in fear I was so enjoy this
" Of course I dont believe that" I continued in which he calmed down
" Ho..how did you know " his voice barely a whisper
" Let's say.... A friend of a friend that attend your school told me" I smiled
" But that's not the point Trevour" I continued" i also heard you got stripped of your family name and thrown out with nothing "
" So" he quizzed bit of anger in voice.
I had to speed things up!
" Look I got a gig which pays a lot, about 20grands per trip"
He pursed looking up to me his warry I continued anyway
" It about delivering a truckload of cocaine outside city to a secret meeting point " he shook
I continued " you get your pay from the other end after delivery and then take another route into the city".
" The cargo is secret and only known to the buyers and sellers, I only know this because I was asked to find someone else for the job, I have taken like five jobs and altogether only earned 40 grand" My tone took a jealous turn
" This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn your situation around don't waste it, if you are ready call this number" I slipped him a card and walked away
After an hour I went back to the washroom locked the door and dailed the same number
Ring ring! Ring....
" The seed has been planted," I said
" Good, you will receive it soon "
Toot!
I waited
One minute... two minutes.... three..
Ping! A bank alert came in
$5000
" Easy money" I smiled "Sorry Trevor but I have to do this kekeke
....
