One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 92: The coffee bean shop

~~~The one who said that he'd rather roam. The one who said he'd rather be alone. If you could only see me now. If I could hold you now, just for a moment if I could make you mine. Just for a while turn back the hands of time. If could only hold you now. I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain. Taking any comfort that I can. Looking back and longing for the freedom from my chains, lying in your loving arms again~~~

-Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge-

Coffee Bean shop...

"Oh, holy crap!"

I frowned when I heard Jack scream behind me. I was currently at the counter and helping our employees collect orders from the customers.

"Why? What's going on with you?" I asked glancing at her.

"Haist! I forgot to bring those delivery receipts I brought home last night."

"Why did you bring them home?"

"Because I wanted to double-check the prices of the ingredients we got from the supplier, but gosh! Why the hell did I forget to bring them?"

I chuckled as she complained and even stomped her foot on the floor.

"Where are you going?" I asked as she got up and started arranging the stuff on her table.

"Well, I think I have no choice but to get them." She took her phone and walked over to me to kiss my cheek.

"Hey, why don't you just ask my driver to pick them up?"

"Oh, thanks, but it's okay. I'll just go and get them."

"How about asking Gary to bring them here? I know he's home because---"

"Gary?"

"Hmhm." I nodded.

"You mean your brother's driver?"

"Yup. Dale told me he wasn't going to ask Gary's service today, so I'm sure he's home and watering his plants in the garden." I mentioned 'his' and not 'the' because the guy really loves to plant, so my mother gave him a nice spot in the garden to plant whatever he wants to plant.

"No way!" She scowled that made me laugh at her.

"And why not? I don't see any problem with that?"

"Haha... in case you have forgotten, he's the driver of your narcissist brother and he, of course, is loyal to him. How do I know if he wouldn't tell his boss that I asked him a favor?"

"And so, if he tells his boss? What's the matter---"
