The Secret of Violetta's Pregnancy

Chapters 10. Working for the First Time

"Mathew left since yesterday afternoon, son. Now Auntie's taking care of this apartment." The woman who claimed to be Mathew's aunt smiled gently.

"Do you know where Mathew went?" ask Vio while suppressing anger.

"I don't know. But it looks like he went abroad. He brought all the stuff along with him important documents."

Vio and Jason threw glances at each other. Both of them were slightly suspicious of the twilight-aged woman. What's more, Vio never knew that Mathew had an aunt.

"Then, we'll excuse you, Bi." Jason eventually chooses to say goodbye, and pulls Vio's arm slowly.

Vio simply resignedly followed the footsteps of the man before him. Mathew's attitude really made Vio inexhaustible. What's behind the former lover's goal of enrolling him in the tube baby program.

Even Vio had thought, if the one conceived was the child of Mathew. He accidentally inserted tadpole cells into the ovum in order to have children from it. However, if that was the purpose of Mathew, why did he break up with her instead.

Various conjectures that appear in Vio's brain successfully make his head pulsate again. The woman massaged the temple while leaning her back on the body of the elevator.

"Are you okay, Vio?"

"Can you take me to Michelle's?"

"For what?"

"Last time before leaving, Mathew was in touch with that jerk. She must know where Mathew went!"

"All right, then. Come on!"

The two of them immediately rushed towards Michelle's residence. Arriving at Michelle's house, the housekeeper said that the young lady had not come home since yesterday. Vio again had to swallow disappointment.

"Vio, relax. It's no use figuring it out here and there. I think you better focus on living your life. Prove to everyone who has hurt you that you can live well without them."

The sentence that came out of Jason's lips, made Vio to no longer worry about her pregnancy. He will try to accept the baby, and live life as best he can. Return to his heart and his ravaged future.

"But how can I live independently if I still depend on you, Jason?" Vio's shoulders slumped, remembering that he was not really able to stand on his own feet.

"It's okay. While you were living in my apartment, until you had enough money to rent your own."

"Jason, how can I have money if I don't have a job?"

"Just work in my cafe. We just happen to need one more cashier. The intern who came out yesterday because he had to focus on doing the thesis."

"Really?" Vio's pupils dilate with fingers interlocked with each other.

"Of course!"

Suddenly Vio leaped for joy and burst into Jason's arms. Fortunately the man had a sturdy body, so he was able to withstand the sudden movements made by Vio.

"Thank you, Jason. I will always remember your kindness, and repay it someday!"

Jason's heart warmed to Vio's words. This time he received a very sincere thank you. Unknowingly, the man raised his hand and gently rubbed Vio's back.

"You don't have to pay it back. Just live your life well, I think this is enough. If you can, return the good to others who need help." Jason smiled behind Vio's back.

...

The Missouri streets looked so crowded that morning. Vio was sitting quietly in the passenger seat in Jason's car. The two set out together to summarize the time.

Moreover this is the beginning of the month, there will be a morning meeting to discuss the monthly turnover of cafes as well as the target this month. Along the way, Jason explained a little about the cashier's duties.

"This is why I went to college and got a Cum Laude!"

"Well, really? What college did you study?"

"Interior design!" vio exclaimed proudly as he raised his chin high.

"Away away! College design job so cashier!" jason sneered while laughing out loud.

"Hey, You! I can help you, by overhauling the dizzy interior design of your cafe!" Within seconds, Vio was able to turn things around.

Jason cleared his throat a few times, then turned his eyes away from Vio. He felt utterly defeated by the woman beside him. Vio was not wrong, because the cafe had a very severe turnover.

After more than a year of operation, Jason's cafe was only able to cover operational costs. So, the initial capital to build the business has never returned a single percent. Jason's cafe is in danger of bankruptcy. However, there is someone who gives him a conditional loan.

"All right then! Prove what you say!" challenge Jason.

"Little!"

Soon, Vio and Jason reached the cafe. Some employees were waiting in front of the cafe. When Jason and Vio came, they all greeted the owner.

Jason immediately opened the door of the cafe, then went inside followed by the employees. After that, they gathered in the middle of the room. Jason started to open the conversation.

"As usual, we will discuss the performance of the cafe one month ago. According to the turnover report I receive every heart, last month we had a very drastic drop in turnover." Jason opened the cafe turnover report through the tab in his grasp.

Jason also shows a table showing rows of numbers as well as some monthly turnover growth charts. After that, Jason submitted the report to the employees so that they could all see the details of the cafe's daily turnover.

"I see your performance is also very sluggish. Service to customers is not optimal. Through CCTV I see you guys are also more joking and creating content in this cafe about coffee making." Jason looked at one of the baristas who was looking down.

"Actually I don't mind you guys creating content in this cafe. Precisely good, because indirectly you promote this cafe. But, I hope you guys don't forget the main task here." Jason restored the man's hair and aura of authority as if it was emanating out.

Vio looked up at Jason who was talking in front of his employee. He looked serious when it came to cafe turnover. It was so opposite when they were just the two of them.

"Have you ever gotten half my salary?"

"No, Sir!" call all employees in unison.

"For that, I beg you. Let's work together. To me, you are partners, not subordinates. Without you, this cafe will also not be able to walk optimally. So make this place of money convenient for our customers and ourselves."

The employees looked shaken. After finishing giving advice to employees, Jason immediately introduced Vio to all of them.

"Include me, it's Violetta. The new cashier will replace Meghan. I hope you all work well together."

"Good, Sir!"
