Aurelia had been busy since nine in the morning until lunch break when David ordered takeout.

It was pasta with salad..

In the shop, apart from David, there was usually one other shop assistant.

The boy, who had just turned eighteen, was named Chad. He claimed to dislike studying and, upon graduating from high school, came directly to David’s place.

He likely had a natural gift for languages.

David paid him a monthly salary of three thousand and five hundred, which covered meals but not accommodation. There were also bonuses for perfect attendance and commissions.

At a young age, he enjoyed live streaming. Handsome and eloquent, he often promoted products during his broadcasts, gaining considerable popularity.
