Clara's pov Walking to my station just like the queen I'm because once a queen is always a queen. I stood at my station waiting to see if any of the customers needs my service. Zen coffee shop is not a regular coffee shop, it's for wealthy and prominent individuals and everything about it is classy and well organized. Zen coffee shop have been leading for a decade ,it has been holding the position of the best coffee shop in the city. Still waiting patiently for customers who need our services, a demi god walked in. I could see people's reaction. Who is he? Someone who could get such reaction in zen coffee shop is worth knowing. The creature in front of me look so beautiful that I don't even know how to explain. His height looks so perfect,his body shape well structured like a harmless god,the golden radiation of his complexion, the dark blue eyes that can calm the ocean waves, looking like an angel who escaped from the sky ,everything about him speaks luxury and wealth. His wears did a justification to his personality, this is my first day of seeing him but I can tell he is a strong personality. Still lost in my imagination, I saw a blurry wave, the beautiful man called my attention but I couldn't get myself off my head. "Are you ok?" A voice brought me to reality. Oh my God! I have been staring at him for a very long time, I didn't notice when my boss walked in. "I'm ok, thank you ma." I replied sounding more confused. I knew I have made a deep mockery of myself,I could see faces staring at me and making side comments, but right now this isn't my problem. I walked up to him trying to look courageous,so I wouldn't embarrass myself the second time, but who is this man that has so much influence on me, I kept on Wondering. Good morning sir, I greeted sounding civil He returned my greeting with his voice sounding like the best melodious tone I have ever heard,he placed his order and I Left to get it. I came back to where he was sitting and served his order. I tried my best not to act weird around him, I could see his eyes on my body though I can't detect his mind, my legs were already shaky, my palms were sweaty, I left immediately to the rest room. "Clara compose yourself,' I tried assuring myself that I can do it but I know I'm lying to myself. I spent some time in the rest room before coming out, hoping he would be gone before I return to my station. Oh crazy me trying to drive my customer away.But how will he clear his bills if he had left, at this point I wasn't thinking straight again. I came to my station, trying my best not to get into eye contact with him. After some minutes, he was done with his orders and it's time for clearance. I kept on putting that courageous attitude not to disgrace myself again, I know my boss is still going to make that a topic of discussion. I walked towards him majestically, with a confidence I know nothing about. Hello sir, thank you for your patronage, I said showing my beautiful dentition. He stared for a while before giving a response. Thank you, he responded I released my breath, thank God he didn't snub me , I jumped inside my heart. What's your name, he asked a question I never expected. I'm Clara, I replied sounding a bit surprise. You look beautiful he complimented. I felt like jumping up and hugging him, someone who is looking like a god complimented by beauty, a man who draws so much attention from both gender. I was so happy and relaxed like I have gotten a special gift, I could see my colleagues staring at us, including Jessica with her jealous stare. I'm Nich the CEO of glass ladies, happy valentine he said, while giving me a flower. It was a simple rose flower with a very nice sexy scent coupled with a beautiful earrings. But why me, what if the girlfriend rejected the gift,I was thinking many things at same time. Thank you so much I said with a smile. Thank you for being my valentine,he replied. My jaw dropped, I opened my mouth to speak but couldn't find any, I know I should be professional but a very beautiful man just wished me a happy valentine, with additional gift. I was so happy that it left me speechless, which I guess he would understand. Glass ladies is the best modelling agency in the city including outside the city, it is known all over the places and their model are always on the top board, having the CEO of such organization is really an honor. Welcome sir, I said not knowing what to say. After everything he left, while promising to become part of the zen coffee shop. I felt so happy and blessed, my worst day turned out to be the best and also the best valentine of my life. Valentine has always not been my thing, but the one time I had a boyfriend and I felt like celebrating, it turned sour and bitter. The memory of that particular experience lingers sharply in my mind, its impact still resonating deeply within me, conjuring a flood of powerful and sad emotions. As I contemplate it in the present moment, I find myself unable to resist the urge to dive into the realm of pain and sober, wondering with a heavy heart how the narrative may have been different if I didn't give love and friendship a chance. The pain and sorrow that this recollection stirs within me are magnified tenfold when I remember that it was inflicted by those individuals whom I held closest to my heart, whose presence I treasured and valued above all else. It serves as a reminder never to trust anyone with my heart, due to its fragility and vulnerability, investing my heart in human relationship is something I'm really scared of. My eyes were already teary and I don't want to ruin my beautiful moment with an unknown man. I dried my eyes slowly not to ruin my makeup, fuck to the past. I walked to my station, while trying to input his details and clearance, the system fell and my heart jumped. I picked up the laptop, still thinking of the excuse I will give to my boss. As soon as she entered the room, it was unclear who had summoned her attention. Without hesitation, she shot me a piercing glare that could have stopped my heart, and forcefully grabbed the laptop from my hands. To my surprise, she burst into laughter, but I could sense that this laughter would not lead to anything good. I stood there, watching her intense display of emotion, and bracing myself for whatever was to come. "Don't expect your salary," she said and Left. My salary is my only means of survival and taking it away from me is simply taking my life. I stood speechlessly thinking of what to do. I tried my best to hold unto the memory of the beautiful creature, Mr Nich.
