Chapter 1
Ever since you were a kid you always liked coffee. Your mom would be mad at you. She would scold you because she thought children should not drink too much coffee. You did anyway. You liked everything about coffee. The smell, the mugs, the machines and of course the beans. You loved coffee shops too. It felt like home to you. You wanted to work in a coffee shop. You didn't plan to work there for your life but it was an experience you needed to live even for once.
There was a coffee shop close to your house and they were hiring. You took your chances and it went well. On your first day of your job, you met a familiar face you couldn't name. Thankfully your grandmother is a fan of newspapers. You saw her on the newspapers more than once. You made sure she was who she was when you got home and see it for yourself. You scanned the newspapers quickly and made sure she was who she was.
Now you were hundred percent sure. You couldn't believe your coworker was Kit Thantalos, the daughter of Thantalos Company's CEO.
That company ruined many parks around the area which you loved. They turned it to their tall and dull buildings for other companies. They cut gigantic and beautiful trees. Not that you were constantly fighting for the environment. It was just you hanged out there a lot with your family before they passed away. You used to go parks to remember what you and your parents do to spend time with each other back then. Your happiest memories happened in those parks. Now, since you don't have that opportunity, It feels like memories are fading away. The company took that away from you. You hated them with passion.
And now, you had to work with their daughter. You didn't understand why she was working here as a barista. She had all the money. She didn't needed to work. Or maybe she was in bad terms with her family. You knew she wasn't the one ruining your favourite parks but you couldn't help but feel rage whenever you saw her face. It made you remember of the company who took the parks away from you.
One month passed. You showed your annoyance to her and maybe you acted like a little bit of an a**hole. She didn't understand why you act in this way but she wasn't the type to take cr*p from anyone so things got bothersome. You constantly argued with her. The subject didn't matter. Both of you would found something to make each other mad.
It was late and the coffee shop was empty. It was just your boss, Kit and you.
"It's your turn to clean the toilet." Kit said with a smirk on her face. You wanted to rip that cocky smirk away. Her attitude made you mad.
"No it's yours I cleaned it the last time." You said with a bored expression.
"It's not my fault your memory sucks."
"You suck."
"We both know I don't. " She made herself taller with pride on her face.
She knew she was charismatic. Which made you angrier.
"It's your turn. " You said with death stare.
"No it's yours! " She huffed.
The owner and our boss Joseph came back from the cellar.
"Are you two fighting again?"
"It's her turn to clean the toilet but she denies it." Kit explained Joseph with annoyance.
Joseph breathes heavily. "You both go clean the toilet."
"Both of us?" You raised your brow.
"But it's her turn! " You furrowed.
"Its both of you until you both act like adults. " He huffed.
It was actually Kit's turn but she wanted to take her chances and annoy you.
"I hate you, Tanthalos. " Your eyes popping ragefully.
"The feeling is mutual, L/N." She said with a fake smile.
