The Odd Billionaire

Tomorrow morning, Traizle took Layzen and Lyndon to their school. Lyndon's school is a few minutes' walk from Layzen's kindergarten school.

"We are here." Traizle said when they got to Layzen's school.

"Who will fetch me later after school?" Layzen asked.

Traizle matched her brother's height and fixed Layzen's hair.

Traizle answered, "Your brother will fetch you later after school."

"He is fetching me too late. I always told him to fetch me as early as possible." Layzen said, throwing a tantrum.

"You have to understand him. Your class ended a little earlier than his. He had to run as well to get here," she explained. "But don't worry, I will try to tell him to run faster. Is it okay?" She asked. "Alright." Layzen answered.

"Study hard. See you later." Traizle said then kissed Layzen's forehead.

"Take care of your work. I will be a good boy, so do not worry about me." Layzen said before entering his school's gate.

Traizle watched her younger brother until she could not see him anymore. She looked at her watch that made her run as fast as she could. She is late with her work and she might get scolded by her manager. Upon entering the restaurant where she is working, her co-workers can not be found inside the kitchen. She immediately fixed herself and put on the things she needed to wear before going out to the dining area.

She could hear some noises from the outside, so she quickly went out to see what was happening.

"Traizle!" Linda, one of her co-workers, exclaimed.

"Why?" She asked confused. "Is something happening?" She added.

"There really is! Help our manager over there!" Linda answered, frightened at the mess happening.

"What happened first?" Traizle asked. "Calm down and tell me everything quickly." she added.

"Do you remember the man who is hitting on Kim recently?" Linda started sharing. "He went here again today to eat his breakfast. He even said that he wanted Kim to deliver his order, and that is what we did a while ago." she added.

"So what is the problem about that?" Traizle asked because she can not see the problem with her story.

"While Kim was placing his orders, he kept on asking Kim, and then a girl suddenly walked in furiously. She even hit Kim, saying she was a gold digger and more." Linda continued.

Traizle did not bother listening to Linda, she immediately went to the place where it was happening.

"You poor flirt!"

"Ma'am, can we talk about this thing privately? We are disturbing our other customers." Their manager said, trying to calm down the girl.

"I don't care! That bitch is trying to flirt with my boyfriend in front of my eyes? How dare she is!" She answered, fuming with madness.

"Excuse me," Traizle butted in. "Ma'am, you are crossing the line already." she added.

"Crossing what line? You do not know what happened here and you are implying that I am wrong here?" The girl asked.

"Yes, you are. I am watching you from our CCTV room. You went in furiously and started to attack one of our staff," Traizle answered, arching her right eyebrow. "You are the one who does not know what happened and here you are disturbing our customers." she added.

"Where the hell am I wrong? Why are you siding with your flirty staff when she is the one wrong here? I am a customer! I am always right!" The girl exclaimed.

"Your asshole boyfriend tried to hit on her a few days ago. He even asked Kim for her number, but Kim was not interested in him at all. He has been here a few times already. We also know that he is secretly showing Kim some signs of affection, like asking the waiter to deliver his food," Traizle replied. "We can file a lawsuit for hurting our staff, when she is innocent. You can talk to her in a nice way, but you embarrassed her in front of many people, our other customers. We can show you our CCTV room and watch your boyfriend's action. Remember, you are not here as our customer. You did not order anything, you are only here as our customer's boyfriend. Every customer has the right to complain. If it is right and just, we would not say anything. But this is too much for us already, don't you think?" She added, making the girl behave beside her boyfriend.

A few seconds have passed, and the girl walks out of the restaurant, leaving her boyfriend alone. The man was about to stand up as well, but Traizle stopped him.

"We are still not done here, Sir." Traizle said that made the man sit again in his chair. "You made this mess, so do not go out without saying sorry to Kim. Your GIRLFRIEND hit her." emphasizing the word girlfriend while raising her sleeves and stretching her neck clockwise.

The man gulped, shivering from his seat.

"Do not let me see you outside, you are not my customer outside. Do not waste food. Enjoy your breakfast, Sir," Traizle said, emphasizing again the word Sir. "Sorry for the inconvenience, Ma'am and Sir!" She added, bowing to the other customers they disturbed.

Other staff went back to their work. Traizle and the others went inside the kitchen.

"Are you okay?" Traizle asked Kim.

"No problem, it is good that you are fine. I was wondering why the kitchen was too quiet a while ago. Seeing you guys outside, I knew that there was something wrong," Traizle said and faced their manager. "Ma'am, I am sorry I am late." she said, then bowed a little.

"Apology accepted, since you helped me fix the mess outside. If you were not here, maybe we are still there, trying to calm the girl's nerves." Their manager said that makes them laugh.

"Raising your sleeves was the best part." her co-worker added, resulting in a big laugh.

"You are our girl bouncer indeed." Linda added while showing two thumbs up.

They went back to their work after the small talk.

"Traizle," the chef called her. "Table fifteen." the chef added.

"Okay Chef!" Traizle answered before getting the tray with the food.

Traizle went out of the kitchen and walked to table fifteen.

"Excuse me, Sirs. Here is your order: grilled cheese, French toast, and cappuccino. Where can I put these? Should I get another table for your papers?" Traizle said.

"Yes, that is much better. Thank you." a man answered while collecting the papers on the table.

Traizle put their orders on the table after they collected the papers. She got another table for them to put their papers on without getting dirty from their food.

"Enjoy your breakfast, Sirs. Have a blessed day ahead." Traizle said before leaving.

"Should we add desserts? I want some sweets." Traizle heard them talking.

She cannot believe a business-minded person likes sweets. He even said it out loud without getting shy.

"How is your work?" Linda asked questions pertaining to her work and other sidelines.

"They are okay. I can still provide for my brothers' needs." Traizle responded.

Every weekday, in the morning, she is a waitress at the restaurant and a food courier in the evening. She works every weekend, handing out flyers or promoting products and working at a convenience store at night.

Before their break time, she asked their manager to go out for a while. She needs to go to Lyndon's school, handing the money to buy the other four books. She even borrowed the money from her co-workers, just to buy the books. "Did you buy the first four books already?" Traizle asked after handing him the money.

"Yes, luckily I don't have to write anymore," Lyndon answered. "Are you still in your uniform?" He asked.

"It is our break time. I asked our manager to go out for a while to hand you the money. I have to go back after and work overtime to recuperate the time I spent here." Traizle answered.

Traizle is now entering the snack bar, finished with her third customer's order.

"Ten sets of set A and ten coke. What is your name, Sir?" The owner of the snack bar said while talking with someone on the phone. "Zarsuelo "

"Boss, can you ask him where he wants to deliver it?" Traizle butted in.

The owner asked what Traizle had said. The owner looked at her while pointing to herself and at her after gesturing to the number one.

"Give me the phone," Traizle said, and she got the phone from the owner. "Zarsuelo, deliver to Fox Street, right?" She added.

"Yes, you got it right." the man answered back.

"Stop pranking us. Please do not waste our food with your prank." Traizle said before ending the call.

"Does he still have the guts to call us again? He is taking us like a fool." Traizle said after giving back the phone.

"Good thing you heard me. We will get prank by him again if that happens." the owner said in relief.

After a few minutes, a man went in looking angry.

"I am Zarsuelo, the man who tried to order but got misled by someone." a man named Zarsuelo said when he approached the counter. "And offended too." he added

"I am the someone you are talking to." Traizle replied, looking sharply at the man.
