177 Get A Job In A New Place

Today, Kalea decided to take a walk around the village. Looking for a new atmosphere after spending time only at home or in Kai’s garden. She had told him earlier, Kai had said not to play too far away. Kalea left the Egner family’s house, her footsteps walking in an uncertain direction. Many times she passed by other villagers, Kalea only smiled slightly.

It could be said that the village of Carran was quite populated plus the facilities were quite complete. Shops, restaurants, and other community services were already available although not as complete and as good as those in the city. However, at least Kalea was not so bored in this village.

Suddenly, her hazel eyes caught a writing on a brochure, the brochure was stuck on the glass of a small restaurant.

“Vacancies... jobs?” Kalea murmured, reading the entirety of what was written on the brochure. The restaurant seemed to be short of waiter, they needed additional labor to help with the work in the small restaurant. Kalea, who had read the vacancy, was so excited that she went inside the small restaurant with the intention of asking in person.

The bell that was placed near the entrance rang when Kalea entered the restaurant.

“Welcome! Oh, aren’t you Miss. Lovaata who lives in Kai’s house?” one of the waitress asked with a friendly smile.

“Ah, that’s right.”

“Please have a seat.”

“Um, actually I wanted to ask about the job vacancies posted outside,” Kalea said to the point. The waitress was silent for a moment, but then she nodded in understanding.

.....

“Would you like to apply for a job here?”

“Yes. Can I meet the owner of this restaurant?”

“One moment, sit down first.”

Kalea nodded, and sat down on one of the chairs. She looked at the customers who seemed to be enjoying the food and drinks here. It was not very crowded, but this was exactly the kind of place Kalea wanted. A place where not so many people visited.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the waitress returned. Not only the waitress, the man who seemed to be the manager of the restaurant also approached Kalea. Kalea reflexively got up from her seat, accepting the manager’s handshake.

“Please have a seat,” the man said. Now there were only the two of them left, and the waitress had gone back to work.

“Miss. Lovaata?” the manager asked, and Kalea nodded. “My name is Robby, the owner of this restaurant.”

Kalea just nodded slowly, waiting for the man named Robby to ask questions like an interview when applying for a job.

“So, as I’ve posted on the glass outside, this restaurant needs a waitress or a chef. Have you done it before?” Robby’s gaze was serious.

“I have experience in the restaurant field, sir. I previously worked for almost two years in a family restaurant. I can also cook, so if you’re willing to make me a chef, I’m fine with that,” Kalea said, explaining herself more convincingly.

Robby just nodded his head, watching Kalea’s appearance for a little while as if he was scanning whether this brunette girl deserved to work in his restaurant. “You can cook too?”

“Yes, as long as there’s a recipe, I can do it,” Kalea replied.

“Okay, you’re hired!” Robby exclaimed with a grin.

Huh? Just like this? Kalea was still a little shocked.

“Hmm, for now maybe you can be a waitress first. If the restaurant gets busy later, you can help the chef inside,” Robby explained at length. “Then you can start tomorrow. Oh, Does Kai know about this?”

Holy shit, Kalea did not expect Kai to be the topic of conversation.

“That... yes, he knows about it,” Kalea replied with a stiff smile. Even though she had only seen the proposal brochure this afternoon, how could she have told Kai. After all, she was free to do what she wanted, she did not have any relationship with Kai or anyone else in the village.

Finally, with ease, Kalea had officially become a waitress at the small restaurant. She thanked Robby, and then said goodbye to leave.

It felt like a dream to Kalea that she had gotten a job that she had been doing for so long without even trying. Kalea had experience as a waitress, but she had never worked as a chef. However, Kalea was a little challenged especially since she loved cooking.

Kalea took a deep breath, enjoying the air in the village that was so cool and refreshing, according to Kalea this was like heaven on earth. Not to mention the scenery that was a feast for the eyes. Kalea decided to sit on a fairly large rock, holding the round hat that she now always wore. The corners of Kalea’s lips lifted up even more, she really liked this view. She could see the whole village when she was on the rock. The sky that morning was bright blue without any clouds, the sound of birds chirping, and the breeze blowing gently on her brunette hair.

She really did not expect to be in a beautiful and peaceful village like this. Her former life was so inversely proportional to the present one. However, it was undeniable that she still often thought of the people who were quite close to her back then. Kalea stroked her belly gently and lovingly, she dared to do so outside because there was no one there but her.

Kalea laid her body down carefully on the rock. She could now see the blue ceiling more clearly.

“It’s so peaceful,” Kalea murmured as she closed her eyes. Soon, she fell asleep there, too spoiled by nature.

And after almost two hours, her eyes slowly opened. She frowned and could not believe she had actually fallen asleep on the boulder. After her life was fully collected, she carefully tried to climb down from the rock.

Kalea’s eyes rounded when she felt a burly hand holding her waist. She reflexively looked back and found that it was Kai. Why was Kai always everywhere whenever Kalea felt the need for help?

Kai also helped Kalea down, he easily lifted the girl’s body. “What are you doing here?” Kai asked curiously.

“Just enjoying the nature that God has created,” Kalea replied poetically. “And you? Why are you here? Weren’t you working in the garden?” Kalea now asked back.

“Aunt Megan told me to get the cookies she made,” Kai replied as he lifted the box to show Kalea. “Aunt Megan does provide food for me and Owen quite often.”

Respoj Kalea just nodded, she followed Kai’s footsteps who started walking towards the garden again.

“You can eat with us too,” Kai asked, turning to Kalea who was walking behind him. Kai also slowed down his pace a little so that he could be in line with the girl.

“May I?” asked Kalea so innocently, Kai laughed softly.

“Of course! You look so lonely just being alone there. I’m afraid something might happen to you,” Kai said.

Kalea smiled slightly, noticing Kai’s tall stature. Kalea was only as tall as he was. Kai’s cheerful smile, for some reason Kalea liked it. Because it was so calming and seemed to help her mood become better.

“I’m not lonely. Didn’t you accompany me?” Kalea said which immediately made Kai turn to her. Their eyes met, Kalea was a little surprised because she did not expect Kai’s response to be like this.

“You... you’re not lonely because of me?”

“Yes, isn’t that so?” replied Kalea slightly tilting her head, the hazel eyes also looked innocently at Kai.

Kai bit his lower lip, trying to hold back the happiness that seemed to have exploded in his chest because of Kalea’s words that made it difficult for him to explain in words.

“Right, you don’t have to feel lonely. Because there’s me!” Kai exclaimed as he laughed, his cheeks flushed even though it wasn’t so obvious.

“By the way, Kai,” said Kalea suddenly changing the topic.

“Hm?”

“I just applied for a job at a small restaurant, the owner is named Robby,” Kalea said, telling him what she had done earlier.

Instantly Kai’s footsteps stopped, he turned his body to face Kalea. His forehead wrinkled in confusion. “Applying for a job? Is there one?”

“There is, I just saw it and immediately asked the owner of the restaurant.”

“And then?”

“And I was immediately accepted as a waitress. I can work there tomorrow,” Kalea said with a big smile on her lips, making that face even more beautiful to look at. “So I won’t trouble you too much. At least I know myself well enough.”

Kai’s face became more serious, he did not agree with Kalea’s words who considered herself a burden to Kai. “You’re didn’t trouble me at all, Lea. I don’t think you are,” Kai said.

“Still, we’re just strangers, there’s no way I’m going to keep living on you without doing anything,” Kalea replied.

“I’m happy to do it!”

Kalea looked at Kai no less seriously, Kai’s nature was so kind, treating women so considerately like this, why did Kalea actually have to think of Arthur?
