Volume 7 Chapter 24: First Day With Employees

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?"

"No, they're my employees." Glancing at everyone, "Everyone! Please have your orders taken by these two beautiful ladies. They will also hand you your food as well."  

"Understood!" The customers nodded.

"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. 

"Didn't think you had a cute side like this." Scarlet joked. 

"Of course," Keith was tempted to place a Samui but opted not to. Just having a traditional cat and dog was good enough. 

"Thank you."

"Let me help you with the back," Keith raised his hand as he helped tie the apron. 

"Tight enough?" 

"Mmhmm," Alfia nodded. 

"Too tight, Keith!" Scarlet felt her chest suffocating. 

"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. 

"What?"

"Nothing, young one. Just do what you always do." 

"We can start!" Keith stated. Like that, the cooking started. 

"Keith, here are orders 1,3,5,7." Scarlet handed the orders over to him. 

"Here's 2,4,6,8." On the other side was Alfia, who handed over the even numbers. 

"On it." Keith glanced 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. 

That was why he did the odd and even numbers. That way, the two could work at their own pace. 

"Scarlet, Alfia, take the orders." Keith placed them on top of the table. 

"Mmhmm." Scarlet and Alfia quickly moved out. 

"Hey, are you dating any one of them?" Cedric nudged Keith on the side. 

"Grandpa Cedric, can't you see I'm working here?"

"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.  

"No, I'm not dating any of them. They're classmates who want to help me out." 

"I see." Cedric took a deep sigh, "I thought for sure you had a harem."

"I'm not."

"You can't say that when you have those two as well," Groa explained. Angelica and Sakura were still fresh in their minds. 

"Those two are my seniors; I don't think of them like that." Keith shook his head. 

"..." Everyone looked at one another. 

"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, 

"Scarlet, Alfia. Come take a break." Keith then took out some crepes for them. 

"Thank you." The two sighed as they took it. 

"They don't need to pay?" Cedric blinked.

"Of course not. They're my employees; they get breaks and free lunches."

"..."

"Do you have any more open positions?"

"Nope." 

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. 

"Thank you so much for today."

"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.

And he did it by himself! 

"No, today was so much faster." Keith rubbed his nose. They finished much sooner than last time. 

"And here you are," Keith then took out two little bags.

"What are these?"

"Coins. It's your wages for today." He didn't forget about that.  

"Keith," The two girls didn't know what to say. 

"Please, take it. The two of you earned these coins." The two worked hard and deserved it. 

"Fine." Alfia and Scarlet sighed as they took the coins. However, they felt a sense of accomplishment. 

"Let's head home and get something to eat, Keith!" Scarlet grabbed Keith's hand again. 

"Hey, you're a princess. Don't forget that." 

"Come on. You have the other hand." 

"..." Alfia didn't say anything, but she did stick close to him. 

"Let's return home and get something to eat! I'll cook up something nice today. "
