Chapter 111 - VIP Guest

In city T, inside a restaurant, three VIPs were discussing something very serious matter. All the employees of the restaurant were very much curious about the meeting inside as they were not allowed to enter inside .

"What is happening inside after all? Are not they VIPs?They are already there for one hour. How they can not even be ordered a glass of water? Are they fighting inside? Both of the old men were too scary. What if they kill each other inside?"One of the waitresses looked at the closed door of the VIP cabin and mumbled worriedly.

"Yes. It is really too scary. I even tried to eavesdrop on their discussion. But could not get a single word."Another waitress said in a low voice.

"Listen, I had a glance at them some moments ago. I......I think the two old men were just staring at each other.I heard that both of them are big businessmen of the city T."A waiter whispered.

"Who are they?"

"One is Some Mr. Porter and another is Mr. Thosmon. I heard that both the old men have great influence in the business world. The younger man is Mr. Robin Porter."The waiter replied in a low voice.

"Hey, you all! What are you doing here? Do not you have any work to do? Why are you staring at the VIP cabin, like that?"Everyone was startled to hear the manager's voice behind them.

"I......I am sorry, boss. I......I was just passing by."The waiter said and left hurriedly.

"Why are you still here? Are you not leaving?" The manager asked the two waitresses still standing there.

"Boss, we are just curious about the guests inside. They are here for one hour already. But they have not ordered anything. Are not they here to have lunch?"One of the waitresses asked curiously.

"Just go to your work. Don't try to know something which you should not know."The manager said in a stern voice and left.

"O...ok."They said and left the place.

Ten minutes later, the door of the VIP cabin opened and the three men came out. By looking at their expression anyone can tell that they had an unpleasant conversation inside.

"Mr. Porter, I will wait for the action from your side."Mr. Thomosn said in a serious tone and left the restaurant.

Mr. Porter and his son looked at the old man who is leaving the restaurant and sighed.

"Father, what will we do now?"Mr. Robin Porter said worriedly.

The old man stared at his son blankly and left the place.

"Father?........"He called from behind, but the old man did not utter a word. Mr. Robin Porter was more worried now.

"Father, I think....."He tried to say something but was stopped by his father.

"Robin, let us discuss these at home."The old man said in an angry tone.

"O...ok.Then let us go home now ."Mr. Robin Porter said and reached the parking lot with his father.

After coming back to the restaurant, Nina Anderson could not concentrate on her work. 

'What happened to me today? Why am I keep on thinking about that man? He is not a person with whom I should keep any relationship. But why I am not able to keep him away from my thoughts? How can I be such an idiot? How can I let him even affect my mood? Concentrate, Nina! You must concentrate on your work. You can not let anyone affect your performance. You have got this job after so much afford. You can not lose it.'Nina Anderson lost in deep thought when she was wiping a table.

"Miss Nina, the boss is calling you."Her chain of thoughts broke to hear the voice of a waitress .

"Y.......yes.I...I am going."She uttered and left the place hurriedly. 

"Boss, you called me?"She asked the manager, who was typing something on the computer.

"Yes.Miss Anderson. I called you."He replied without looking at her.

"Why?"

"You go and collect your pay for yesterday and today."The manager said in a serious tone.

"P.......pay?Wh........what do you mean b....by pay?"Nina Anderson asked in a confused tone.

"Miss Nina Anderson, thank you for working with us these two days. You are fired. You can leave now."The manager said in the same tone.

"What! How can you fire me like that?I......I mean I .......I know that I .....I was a little distracted. But I did not do it purposefully."

"Oh, so you were just a little distracted? Is it so? But do you know that this little distraction can cause a big problem for us? Our restaurant is not doing well these days.

Do you think that the director would let it go easier if he comes to know that one of our waitresses keep on wiping a table for almost fifteen minutes? Breaking the dishes, spilling the coffee all over the floor, and what not? You even did not reply to the chef some time ago when he was trying to call you to serve a customer some dishes. Are you really here to work?

By looking at you anyone can tell that you are not in the right mind to work. Why would I keep on forgive your mistakes one upon another? This place is not suitable for you. You just leave. Find a job which is more suitable for you."The manager said and handed her an envelope.

"Here this is your wages for the two days."He said.

Nian Anderson was stunned to hear him.

"Boss, please don't do it. I.....I will do good in the future. Please give me another chance. Boss, I need this job. Without it, I would be homeless. Please, boss,I will be careful in the future."Nina Anderson said in a pleaded tone.

"Why would I give you another chance?"

"Because I can prove myself. Boss, I promise, I will be careful. Please boss." She pleaded again.

The manager stared at her for a moment and nodded.

"Ok.I am giving you another chance. But remember,I will listen to any excuses in the future. You must prove yourself."

"Ok boss. I will. Thank you, boss, for giving me another chance."Nina Anderson bowed and left the front desk as soon as she can.

Nina Anderson received a call from Mr. Mark San as she was leaving the restaurant in the evening.

"Hello?"She accepted the call and repleid.

"Nina, where did not you accepted my call? Do you know how worried was I? Where were you?"Mr. Mark San asked in a worried tone.

"Oh, Mark. I am sorry. I was at work. So I could not accept your call. Why did you call me?"

"At work? Where do you work? Why did not you tell me anything about it?"

"I am sorry. It is not such important. So I did not tell you."Nina Anderson said in a sad tone.

"Hey! What is that tone about? Ok. Tell me where are you right now?" 

"I am on the way home. Right now I am in front of the 'The Taste' restaurant."Nina Anderson replied.

"Ok."Mr. Mark San replied and hung up the call. Nina Anderson stared at her mobile phone confusedly.

"What was it?"She mumbled confusedly and crossed the road . Suddenly a car stopped near her. She looked at the car worriedly. She was relieved to see Mr. Mark San in the driving seat.

"Nina, get in."Mr. Mark San said.

"Mark, why are you here?"She asked in a confused tone.

"Just get in. We can talk later."He said with a  smile. Nina Anderson nodded and get in the car and put on the seat belt.

"Where are we going? Are not we go home?"Nina Anderson asked in a confused tone to see Mark san was turning his car back.

"Nina, did not you just tell me that you have joined some work? Should not you invite me to dinner?"

"D....diner?"

"Why will not you invite me?

"O...of course, I will invite you, But today it will be inconvenient."

"Today's dinner is on me. You can invite me tomorrow. "

"Mark, I am sorry, but today I am very tired. I am not in the mood of having dinner. Will you please turn the car back" Mr. Mark san stared at her worriedly.

"Nian, are you fine?"He asked in a worried tone.

"I am fine. Just little tired."

"Ok then. Today I am going to let you go. But you have to invite me to your house tomorrow. I have returned here long ago but still have not seen your house. You have not invited me to your house even once. You know that I have not any other friends here other you. I don't want to get myself involve with those two selfish people."

"D.....do you want to visit my place?"

"Yes.I will visit your place tomorrow."

"But."

"Why is there any problem?"Mark san asked in a confused tone.

"No, no.O........ok.You can come tomorrow."Nina Anderson replied somehow.
