"C/N-CHAN, ORDERS for table ten!"

"Coming!"

After I was done cleaning up a table left by one of our customers, I immediately approached the counter to receive the tray with the ordered meals and then made my way to the assigned table.

"Here's our cafe's special love-love waffle meal set for the lovely couple! Enjoy your meal!" I said sweetly to the two lovers once I placed their orders on their table. It was our cafe's best-selling couple meal set of heart-shaped waffles with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles accompanied by two large strawberry-flavored milkshakes.

"Thank you, C/N-chan!" the young male customer responded somewhat bashfully while his beautiful girlfriend excitedly took pictures of the waffles with her flip phone.

I simply flashed him a professional smile before moving on toward the next table and taking orders from another customer until the sound of the bell chime caught my ears.

I walked over to the entrance to greet our newly arrived customers, only to stop short and my mouth to hang open by the second my eyes landed on the very familiar blonde who had come in just now.

It was none other than my boyfriend, Mikey.

Together with him were his two other blondie friends, Draken and Takemichi.

What the heck...?

My heart began to race out of nervousness.

What the actual fuck was Mikey thinking bringing these punks to our cafe of all places?!? Had he lost his marbles?!? Did this blonde midget have a few screws loose in the head?!?

I tried to regain my composure and cleared the clog in my throat. Despite my ludicrous disguise under a maid costume, I'm not that pretty much confident hiding my true identity very well ever since Mikey was quick to figure out who I was before. That cunning fox will even go as far as to use that very knowledge to blackmail me every fucking time just so he could spend some time with me.

What would be of the others? I was mentally praying to myself that both Draken and Takemichi won't recognize me or else, I am going strangle that beloved boyfriend of mine to death! Mikey wouldn't do something as foolish as to reveal my identity to them, right?

Right???

Plastering a forced smile, I still greeted the trio albeit with fake enthusiasm, "Welcome to our cafe, dear customers!"

"Pfft...!"

My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. I swore I just heard Mikey stifling a laugh, causing a nerve to pop into my temple and silently glared at him with shooting knives.
