Traizle
After talking, he immediately sits beside a man and ate the food the man gave. I went to the counter to ask the owner.
"Do we have any orders to deliver?" I asked the owner.
"I was waiting for you to come here." the owner answered before pulling out something from her apron. I was surprised when she handed me a big sum of money. "What is that for?" I asked, baffled from the situation.
"It is from him," the owner answered as she points Zarsuelo. "He paid the money you lost, saying he does not like to be in debt to someone." she added.
"How about the payment for this event?" I asked.
"He paid for it as well." the owner answered.
We looked at him, he was busy munching the food in front of him. He does not look like who has a lot of money, but based from his physical outlook, I can say that he kinda has it.
After they finish their food, they are now readying and dolling up themselves. They even stand up altogether before saying
"Thank you for the treat, Sir." they exclaimed before bowing.
"Sir?" The word came out from my mouth.
"Ah yes, he is our Boss." A girl answered after she heard me ask.
"Boss?" I asked again.
"Yes, he owns a big company near here." the girl answered that made me look at the owner.
Are we hearing things, right? He is a Boss and owns a big company near here?
"Does he really own a company?" The owner asked.
"Yes, he is. Mr. Zarsuelo does not look like one, but he really is," she said. "I thought you guys knew him since you talked for a while." she added.
"We do not really know him," I shared. "I just met him tonight." I added.
They started walking out of the snack bar. Zarsuelo was the last remaining inside. “The food here is great; I ate too much tonight,” he complimented. "I can recommend this store to my friends. I had a good time here. I think we are now in good terms, right?" He added.
We quickly nodded our heads, showing we were agreeing in his statement.
"Thank you! I got to go now." he said before walking away.
We were quiet for a few minutes. I cannot believe what we have heard. He does not really look like one. "I was about to fight someone who really owns a big company. I am digging my own grave, am I?" I asked myself.
I do not have the right to do that, if he is one of the evil rich people, I am in my grave already. I did not work overtime tonight. Since, I earned big money, it is okay to go home early.
When I got home, Layzen was sleeping soundly unlike the other one who is still awake.
"You are early." Lyndon said, surprised from my early appearance.
I usually went home at two or three in the morning, but now it is still twelve o'clock in the morning.
"Zarsuelo paid for the last night." I answered as I sat on the floor while removing my shoes and socks.
"Really? How about the food?" He asked.
"He did not ask for it," I answered then put my shoes on the shoe rack. "Instead, he called his employees to eat at the snack bar." I added.
Lyndon got up from our bed. Looking at me with big eyes, intrigue from what he hears from me.
"Good thing that he knows it is his fault, he even paid so that settles everything." he said while nodding his head, he is even holding his chin.
"It is a good thing that I did not do something bad for me," I said. "Although I called him asshole." I added.
"You did something bad already, it is just he did not entertained it." he replied.
Well, he complained about it, but he never said something more than that.
"His employee told me that he owns a big company near the snack bar." I said, sharing the news we have learn.
"Big company?" He asked surprised. "What company is near the snack bar?" He added.
I started to think about what big company is near the snack bar.
"Brandless." Lyndon started telling the big company near the snack bar.
"Stellar company?" I added unsure if it is one or not.
"That is one of them," he said correcting me. "Grand finance." he added.
Do we really have many big companies near my work?
"Smartsale and Dwellsmith as well." Lyndon almost telling every big company that he knows.
"You know those?" I asked, wondering.
"Of course, I just do not look like one, but I do," he answered with his smug smile. "You work everywhere but you do not know them?" He asked.
"Do I really have to memorize every company I am encountering? I do not have, right?" I answered.
Let us just say that I lost naming big companies with him. He surely does know some things like this that I do not, I admit that.
"Which one of them?" He asked.
"His employee did not tell me which one." I answered nonchalantly.
I do not need to know more than that. We would not see each other next time, so I do not really have to know him.

It is so hot today and I am wearing a girl with an ice cream head mascot.
Why does it have to be this hot Saturday? When I am working this kind of work.
A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to do this one-time job. The store is newly open and since it is new, they are having an event. Me and Jake, my friend, are the mascot while dancing and distributing some flyers to the passersby.
I am hungry as well, the heat can make you hungry and dizzy at the same time.
"Thank you." expressing my gratitude for those who are accepting the flyers.
Suddenly, I am not the one who is distributing it. A group of people are getting their own flyers from me. I cannot see clearly, I can't understand why the table is turned but I am thankful though. It will make our work easier and faster.
I can also hear the snapping of the camera shutter. Did a star went here or any famous person who might made this thing?
"Matthew is really handsome in person!" A girl exclaimed beside me.
So, a famous person came here. The store owner knows how to promote his store, huh.
An hour passed and I did not have any flyers with me anymore, all I did afterwards was to wave my hand and hug the kids approaching me. I check Jake if he is done giving out his flyers, he looks like he is done and now just dancing to the loud music.
I started to sway and follow the flow of the music. They won't know who I am so I can just go with the flow. After the song ended, one of the staff pulled us to enter the store.
"Guys, you can now take off the costume." the staff said.
"Are we done already?" I asked, almost shouting, for him to hear me.
There are still many people inside and outside, is it too early for us to stop since we can gain more customers?
"Yes, Boss told me you guys are done already." he answered.
I quickly remove the head, for me to ask once again. "It is still early, is he sure about it? How about our payments?" I asked in confusion.
"Oh, you are also working here." a familiar voice said.
I find the owner of the familiar voice and saw Zarsuelo standing beside the store owner.
Why am I seeing him lately?
