(Koichi)
"Er…Mr...um, boss? Aren't you going to assign me to a table?" I asked, tapping his shoulder to get his attention; the huge and fat chef turned around and anger. "I'm going to get you fired if you keep doing that! Stupid boy! The papers over there have all the tables that have no helpers right now—one more time and…." The Boss made a cutting sign to his neck. "Goes your job."
"Yes sir." I said and headed for the papers which were tacked to a bulletin wall and in sloppy handwriting were tables 97 (Kai's table) and table 8. "Ok…." I looked for some kind of direction and there on bulletin board was a map of the restaurant and the table numbers. "Ah…table 8…near the entrance…hope Takuya and Zoe don't see me…." I mused aloud to myself.
So I walked to the front of the restaurant; frantically looking for table 8; I wanted to get out of Takuya and Zoe's sight as soon as possible. And when I turned my head to face table 8…there they were Takuya and Zoe smiling nervously at each other.
"Koichi! Get yourself out of their face right now! Koichi!" Kai yelled into the earpiece, I jumped as my ear throbbed her her words rung in my head.
"Kai…I got assigned to Takuya and Zoe's table…."
"Of course…look, just try not to show your face and try to fake your voice…oh Lord Koichi, you better try!" She said in a threatening voice.
"Er…excuse me Tak—I mean, Sir and Ma'am…erm…here are your menus…." I quickly gave them two menus and turned away.
"Um…aren't you going to tell us about today's special?" Takuya said.
"Yeah, I heard since you're new here you have a lot of specials." Zoe agreed.
I paused. I had nothing to hide my face now. "The specials are on the back of the menu…enjoy!" I practically ran into the kitchen. "Aw man…." I said in a exasperated voice.
"Great job Koichi, way to make them not suspicious." Kai was mumbling in the earpiece, I looked in a window to the restaurant and there was Mr. Reifuto, it had to be him coming into the doors so poised and sophisticated….
"I'll come around when you give me the signal for phase 3…." I eyed him as he walked straight towards Kai, who forced a small business-like smile.
