<span style="font-weight:400">The next day, Keith dragged his cart to the same location. But this time, he had two beautiful people with him. Cedric was the first to question, "Kid, are you going to start a harem?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, they''re my employees." ncing at everyone, "Everyone! Please have your orders taken by these two beautifuldies. They will also hand you your food as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" The customers nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, here you two are." Two aprons were in his hand. They were dark green like his; one had a cute dog printed on the front, while the other had a cat.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Didn''t think you had a cute side like this." Scarlet joked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course," Keith was tempted to ce a Samui but opted not to. Just having a traditional cat and dog was good enough.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let me help you with the back," Keith raised his hand as he helped tie the apron.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tight enough?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Alfia nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Too tight, Keith!" Scarlet felt her chest suffocating.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry about that." Once he loosened it up, Keith got to work. But as he did, he noticed how the customers gazed at him. Dalen had an interesting expression while Groa looked at him weirdly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing, young one. Just do what you always do."
<span style="font-weight:400">"We can start!" Keith stated. Like that, the cooking started.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, here are orders 1,3,5,7." Scarlet handed the orders over to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here''s 2,4,6,8." On the other side was Alfia, who handed over the even numbers.
<span style="font-weight:400">"On it." Keith nced at the papers. Thank goodness I gave them odd and even numbers. One way to do things was to make them take five orders at a time. However, he found Scarlet to be more adept at this than Alfia.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was why he did the odd and even numbers. That way, the two could work at their own pace.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Scarlet, Alfia, take the orders." Keith ced them on top of the table.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Scarlet and Alfia quickly moved out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey, are you dating any one of them?" Cedric nudged Keith on the side.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Grandpa Cedric, can''t you see I''m working here?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please, you get to mess around with those two girls doing all the heavy work." That was true. Taking orders and handing them took some time out. With him prioritizing cooking, things went more smoothly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, I''m not dating any of them. They''re ssmates who want to help me out."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Cedric took a deep sigh, "I thought for sure you had a harem."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m not."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You can''t say that when you have those two as well," Groa exined. Angelica and Sakura were still fresh in their minds.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Those two are my seniors; I don''t think of them like that." Keith shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Everyone looked at one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you not talk with your eyes?" Keith looked at them and realized it. Either way, he continued to work on the food. After some time,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Scarlet, Alfia. Come take a break." Keith then took out some crepes for them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you." The two sighed as they took it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They don''t need to pay?" Cedric blinked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course not. They''re my employees; they get breaks and free lunches."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have any more open positions?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nope."
<span style="font-weight:400">Scarlet and Alfia ate their crepe in front of all those envious eyes. And they didn''t care at all! This is the benefit of working. The three continued on with their work. It didn''t take long before they were done.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much for today."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you work like that every day?" Alfia and the others had gone to his cart frequently. But doing it was much different. Things were two times faster. What was more, the number of orders thrown at them was too many to count.
<span style="font-weight:400">And he did it by himself!
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, today was so much faster." Keith rubbed his nose. They finished much sooner thanst time.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And here you are," Keith then took out two little bags.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are these?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Coins. It''s your wages for today." He didn''t forget about that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith," The two girls didn''t know what to say.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please, take it. The two of you earned these coins." The two worked hard and deserved it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fine." Alfia and Scarlet sighed as they took the coins. However, they felt a sense of aplishment.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s head home and get something to eat, Keith!" Scarlet grabbed Keith''s hand again.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey, you''re a princess. Don''t forget that."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Come on. You have the other hand."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Alfia didn''t say anything, but she did stick close to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s return home and get something to eat! I''ll cook up something nice today. "
