Chapter 2 {Serving Your Boss}

As Akemi was paralyzed and scared to see her boss. Thinking of ways to get out of the situation. She did not want to sever Aster while wearing the maid outfit. Her Aunt noticed her niece turned pale if she saw a ghost.

"Akemi?" Aunt Cinder said as she walks closer to Akemi.

"Umm... on second thought I'll be on my lunch break." Akemi said as turn away from the door but her aunt stops her.

"Oh no, you don't. You better get your butt out there." Aunt Cinder said as she turns Akemi around and pushes her towards the door.

"Aunt Cinder, I really can't do this." Akemi said as she stood still, refusing to get out the kitchen.

"Yes, you can. Akemi, I know you want to home but you need to sever them." Aunt Cinder said as she struggling to Akemi.

"Is something the matter Akemi? " Someone said as they turn to see another coworker.

It was a young woman with short light brown hair and dark brown eyes. She wore a similar dress as Blair expect the dress was shorter and the sleeve was longer. Having a white long high thigh socks with black heel shoes. Another friend and coworker, Jasmine as she had a confused look see the two women.

"I'm trying to push Akemi out of the kitchen to sever the VIP customers but she's refusing to go." Aunt Cinder explained to Jasmine still pushing her.

"I'm not going out there." Akemi said as she uses all of her power to stay in the kitchen.

"Akemi don't be stubborn. Just go, I don't want you to let them keep waiting." Aunt Cinder said which Akemi shook her head.

"Yeah Akemi, it's just a VIP customer." Jasmine said to her friend.

"Have you seen them?" Akemi asked Jasmine which made her curious.

"I'll go check." Jasmine said she took a peek from the door window.

She was in shock to see the four pro duelists are in the cafe. She was so excited to see them here as their customers.

"*squeaking* No way! Is that who I think it is!" Jasmine said as it drew all the maids attention to see what was Jasmine's dilemma.

They apologize to the customers and came into the kitchen to see Jasmine standing by the door. It leads to the private dining room for the VIP customers. The minute they glance at the four VIP customers, maids were fangirling to these boys behind the kitchen door. As the girls said,

"It's Jaden Yuki the Fusion King."

"Chazz Princeton or he likes to call the 'The Chazz'."

"Jesse Anderson who owns legendary crystal beasts deck."

"And Aster Phoenix the only duelist who started in the Pro Duelist as a teen."

Most of the maids, expect Aunt Cinder and Akemi were infatuated to see the guys. This gives Akemi an idea to have one of her coworkers to replace her.

"Does anyone want to take my place?" Akemi asked all of the maids which they were glad to accept her offer.

The girls were begging Akemi to pick one of them but Aunt Cinder wasn't having it and put her foot down.

"Girls settled down. I already choose a maid who will serve them and that will be Akemi." Aunt Cinder said which made the maid disappointed and stay silent.

"Please Aunt Cinder, I beg of you. I don't want to sever them. I never severed a VIP customer. Can't you get one of the girls who has experienced?" Akemi said as she desperately wanted to leave this situation but her aunt refuses.

"I made up my mind Akemi. Now go you don't want to keep them wait." Aunt Cinder said as she pushes Akemi towards the door.

She tried to sneak away from this but she had no choice but to go through with it. Akemi was nervous as her body shaken to serve her boss. She took a deep breath and push the door. The four young men waited outside until they turn to see a young woman wearing a maid outfit. Her long iris purple hair and beautiful magenta pink eyes having a little makeup on her face. It was a poofy miniskirt dress with a white waist frilly apron. The dress covers her thighs and it's strapless that shows off her breasts. Having a black ribbon with white frills on her neck and wrists. Each side of her lower shoulders has is a cup size frills with a black ribbon. Her white lace high thigh socks have a small black ribbon with black heel shoes. She was walking towards them with a smile on her face which made most of the guys are blushing expect Jaden.

"Good evening masters, I'll be your server for today." Akemi said as Aster, Chazz, and Jesse were checking her out.

"Hi, we're VIP." Jaden said innocently while smiling since he recognizes Akemi because she's related to his girlfriend.

"Ok, may I have your phone?" Akemi asked as she was relieved that Jaden is the one who's talking as she ignoring the rest of the guys.

"Sure." Jaden replied as he gave her the phone.

Akemi put the phone on the podium and grab the pad. She scans the barcode on the phone and it accepted it. She put the pad away and gave the phone back to Jaden. Akemi grab the four menus from the podium and smiled.

"Come right this way." Akemi said as the boys follow her.

Usually, customers come to the cafe they are greeted by any of the maids, but VIP customers are a different story. Before coming into the cafe, visit their website to make reservations and buy it online. After purchasing it, they will send you a picture that has a code bar on their phone. Coming in the cafe, instead of heading to the dining area like the rest. They should be in the VIP sectionand stay in the waiting area until one of the maids come and confirmed it. By using the pad as the customers show the code from their phone. The pad scans the code bar. If it accepts it, then the maid escorts the customers to their table.

As the guys look around the interior, Akemi could feel the tension and wanted to turn around. It's not the best idea since she could feel her boss staring at her. Unfortunately, her suspicions were true as Aster was looking behind her. He could have sworn that he saw her before but doesn't quite remember where. She escorts them to one of the booths.

"Have a seat, and here is the menu. I'll come back to check if you're ready." Akemi said as they sat on the semi-circle booth as she handed the menu to them.

"Thank you." Jaden said as Akemi nodded and walked towards the kitchen door.

As Akemi left, Jesse and Chazz turn to Jaden since he wasn't bothered or embarrassed to talk to the maid.

"How can you talk to her while having a smile on your face." Chazz said to Jaden.

"*laughs* I don't see the problem Chazz. She's just a waitress." Jaden said as he laughed innocently.

"Jaden, she's wearing a maid outfit. The dress too short for a waitress. " Jesse said.

"Well, it's a work uniform, Jesse. Besides, it not like she wants to wear it. She probably feels uncomfortable and embarrassed." Jaden said.

"Sometimes you're too innocent, Jay." Jesse said.

"Also, oblivious right Aster?" Chazz asked which Aster didn't respond because he was looking at the kitchen door waiting for Akemi to come out.

He keeps thinking about Akemi and figuring out where he recognizes her. Chazz calls his name four times as Jaden and Jesse looking at Aster. Chazz was annoyed to be ignored so he grabbed the menu.

"Aster!" Chazz yelled his name and hit Aster with the menu sheet.

"Hey! Quit it, Chazz." Aster said as he turns to the guys.

"Finally, you answered. I called you four times and ignore me." Chazz said annoyance.

"Alright, sorry. So what do you want?" Aster asked which irritated Chazz.

"Maybe if you weren't staring at the maid, you would have listened to me." Chazz said as Aster blush a little and annoyed that Chazz calls him out in front of Jaden and Jesse.

Back in the kitchen, Akemi took a few deep breaths still scared that her boss was staring at her. She grabs a glass of cold ice water and drank it. She close her eyes and remind herself that it will be over soon. Five minutes have passed, even though she didn't want to go back. She didn't want to be scolded by her aunt. So, she pushes the door open and walked towards them.

"Ready for your order?" Akemi asked the four men looked up at her.

"There so many to choose from the menu. Which food do you recommend?" Jesse asked the maid.

"I would recommend the Yummy Bunny Rice Omelet." Akemi answered embarrassed while try to smile the best she could.

"What's that?" Chazz asked as the others thought it was a strange name for a dish.

"That is our today's special to celebrate the ninth year anniversary of the cafe and it the most popular dish among the customers." Akemi explained to them.

"Ok, then I'll have that with orange juice." Jaden said which the guys were surprised.

"I'll have what he's having." Jesse said as Akemi use the pad to tap the order.

"I'll have the omelet with soda." Chazz said as he didn't want to say the full name of the dish.

"I'll have the same dish with black tea." Aster said which Akemi wanted to avoid eye contact.

"Do you want the tea to be warm or ice?" Akemi asked her boss.

"Warm." Aster replied as he examined her which Akemi wanted to get out of there fast.

"Ok, four yummy bunny rice omelets coming right up." Akemi said as went off to the kitchen.

The maids were watching Akemi severing the VIP customers the whole time. As Akemi came in the kitchen, they wanted to talk to her about the pro duelists. Putting her pad to the side on the table. She grabs four cups and pours the drinks in the cups.

"I sent the order Atticus." Akemi said as it was sent to the screen close to the kitchen to see each order.

"Wow! We have four pro duelists in our cafe." Blair said as she was excited to see them.

"Not to mention that they're all hot. You're lucky to sever them Akemi." Jasmine said as Akemi as she grabs the tea bag while the kettle was boiling the water.

"I want to die in the pit of fire." Akemi said with disappointment and still nervous as she put the teabag in the kettle.

"Akemi, why would you say that? They're celebrities and any girl will die you be in your place." Blair said which the maids nodding as they agree with Blair.

"If my boss finds out that it's me, my life and reputation will be ruined. I'll be the laughing stock of the company and nobody will take me seriously. I hear my life falling apart right now." Akemi said panicking as she pacing back and forth in the kitchen.

"Wait your boss is here?" Jasmine asked which all the maids were confused.

"*sigh* Yes." Akemi replied.

"So, who is it?" Blair asked which the maids are curious as well.

"It's him." Akemi use her index finger as the maids look at the door window as where Akemi's finger is point directly to Aster.

"What!!?" The maids said in unison as they were shocked to hear that Akemi worked under one of the famous duelists.

"Aster Phoenix is your boss!" Jasmine exclaimed which Akemi tries to silence them.

"Hey, quiet down! He'll hear you." Akemi scolded them which they stay silent and still in shock.

Atticus laughs while cooking Akemi's order having a smug look on his face. Akemi turn to him as she's annoyed and feeling he had something to hide. She walks towards him and with her arms crossed.

"What's with the smug look on your face?" Akemi asked the chef as he smirked.

"Oh, nothing. Just a little birdy told me that you're Aster's secretary." Atticus replied with a grin on his face.

"Atticus!" Akemi yell at him because he was the one behind this as she was about to hit him.

"Hey hey hey, easy there. I just told Jaden about this place and he should bring his rivals here." Atticus said as he back away from Akemi.

"Hey Akemi." Blair called out to her name.

"What?" Akemi asked as she turns to Blair.

"I think your boss was starting at you for five minutes straight." Blair said looking at window door and Akemi turn to see Aster having his eyes glued on to her.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." Akemi said as she turns away and facepalm.

"Akemi this is good news." Aunt Cinder said with excitement.

"How!?" Akemi yelled in confusion.

"He's a celebrity in which he can bring new customers and he's single." Aunt Cinder said with joy as she put her hands on Akemi's shoulders.

"Aunt Cinder!" Akemi yelled in embarrassment that what she hearing from her aunt's mouth.

"What? It's not every day you attract a man's attention at his caliber. Akemi you're a beautiful woman with your long silky hair, pretty face, and a gorgeous figure. No one can resist my adorable niece." Aunt Cinder said happily which made her niece blush.

"Yeah Akemi, go on a date with your boss." Atticus teased Akemi which cause her to smack his head from behind.

"Oww!" Atticus said as he rubs his head.

"Don't encourage her Atticus." Akemi said with annoyance.

"At least he's going to be here just today." Blair said.

"Yeah, you're right." Akemi said as she took out the tea bag from the kettle and poured it in the cup.

"The order is ready Akemi." Atticus said as he pushes the plate towards Akemi.

Akemi grab a tray and put the dishes and drinks on the tray. She carries the tray and leaves the kitchen. The guys saw Akemi with a tray as walk towards them.

"Here are your orders gentlemen." Akemi said as she set the dishes and cups on the table.

"Mmm, it smells good." Jaden said as the others agree with Jaden.

"Thank you for waiting masters. Enjoy your meal." Akemi said as she turns around but before she went to the kitchen door, Aster had something to say.

"Excuse me, miss." Aster said which Akemi felt very nervous.

"Yes, Master." Akemi replied as she turned to him with a smile on her face which made him blush a little.

"Have we meant before because you look familiar?" Aster asked the young maid.

'Crap! He figured it out! I can't tell him it's me!' Akemi though to herself as she was afraid but kept her cool.

"Ummm... I'm sorry master but you must have mistaken me to someone else." Akemi answer as she lied to her boss. Hoping to take the bait.

"Huh, I see. Sorry to bother you them." Aster said which made Akemi sigh in relief.

'Oh thank the Lord!' Akemi said in her mind and went back to the kitchen.

The others eavesdropping the conversation between Aster and Akemi. They want to ask questions to Akemi. She came in and the others circled around her.

"What was that about?" Jasmine asked Akemi.

"Was your boss trying to hit on you?" Atticus jokingly asked as Akemi rolled her eyes.

"No, he was saying if we meant before which I lie." Akemi replied.

"Wow, he doesn't recognize you at all?" Blair asked.

"Yup and I'm happy about it. As long as he doesn't recognize me, I'm ok." Akemi said.

"Still, it would be nice to talk to him, sweetie." Aunt Cinder said which Akemi pouted with annoyance.

The guys enjoy the food and find it delicious. They finished everything that was on the plates and cups. Akemi came back to receive the payment. Jaden pay it with his debit card. After the payment, she escorts them to the exit door.

"Thank you for your services and I hope you come again masters." Akemi said as a bow to them and smiled.

They open the door and went outside as they give one last glance at Akemi. Outside of the cafe, they walked back to the parking lot while having their conversation about the cafe.

"That's was a delicious meal, we should come back here." Jesse said with a smile on his face.

"The food and the service was great. I should recommend my fans to come here." Jaden said happily.

"Yeah if Aster wasn't being a creep to the maid that was severing us." Chazz said which made Aster snap out from his thoughts.

"Chazz you were checking out all the maids in the cafe." Aster defended himself which made Chazz turn red from embarrassment.

"Chazz has a good point, you were kinda quiet and stared at her the whole time." Jesse said.

"See, Jesse agrees with me." Chazz said as he was trying to prove his point.

"Yeah, what was that about Aster?" Jaden asked to turn to his grey hair friend.

"I don't know I just got the feeling that I meant her before. She looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it." Aster said which Chazz shook his head.

"You're just saying that because you think she's cute." Chazz said as Aster look away and bit his lip.

"Yeah, right." Aster denying Chazz's comment.

"Stop denying it, you have the hots for her." Chazz said.

He didn't want to admit it in front of the guys but he did found Akemi very attractive. Her long silky iris purple hair, her pretty magenta pink eyes with a gorgeous figure and a beautiful smile that can outshine anyone around her. He became interested in her and decided to come back to the cafe another time to get to know her.

"So you have a crush on her. It's not bad to like a maid." Jesse said as Aster look away.

"It's ok, Aster. If you like her then why not come back to the cafe. Who knows she'll like you back." Jaden said as he wraps his arm around Aster's shoulder and encouraged his friend.

This annoyed Aster as his friends keep tell him for having a crush on Akemi but he was glad that his friends help him and encourage him to talk to Akemi.


Time-skip To Saturday Morning

The next day, Akemi came to work and is working on some paperwork. As she was typing on her laptop, Aster opened the door wanting to talk to his secretary.

"Akemi." Aster walked into her office which surprised her.

"Yes, Mr. Phoenix." Akemi said as she stood up from her seat.

"I need to talk to you." Aster said as he has a serious look on his face.

'Oh no, did he found out.' Akemi though to herself as she looked down and push her glasses up.

Akemi is very scared if Aster found out that she was the maid who served him last night at the cafe. Not only he'll figure it out but she may lose or force to quit her job. She needed this job to help her and father financially. She didn't want her boss to find out her secret this soon.
