Chapter 7 - M.D.B 7: Jan Ken (2/2)
Colleen turned around and shut the door in his face. After remaining tense for a way, she suddenly ”snapped” into a smile: ”This guy has actually become much more interesting than before. Also, that pushing technique of his is quite special!”

”Hey, I didn't even get to eat… Well, I can just forget about launch, I'll just have dinner!”
On the other side, Saint walked out of the Dojo, going straight to his restaurant. He went to the kitchen, put on rubber gloves, and started…. washing dishes…
”I need to hire!”
He was already half dead by the time he finished cleaning the pile of dirty dishes that was awaiting him. He wiped his hands indiscriminately, went up, printed out a job ad flyer and went directly tohang it up the store door; it said: ”One waiter needed, free meals and accommodation, negotiable salary!”
By then, the evening was approaching, and he couldn't take a break. As soon as he was through with preparing the side dishes, he heard the chimes from the door side.
”Welcome to Lee's…” As he went out from the kitchen, he was surprised and had to change his line: ”Why are you here again?”
”Why wouldn't I be here? Can't I come to eat?”
Colleen, who had skipped launch and been hungry since noon, came through the door before anyone. She did not enter, and instead pointed at Saint's flyer saying: ”You've found a waiter?”
”How could I just? I put that up just now!” He walked forward and jokingly said: ”So, willing to close your Dojo and come work for me?”
”Bah!”
She muttered: ”You wish!” and then said with a serious face: ”I have a new student, a street orphan. Although she was caught in a theft case, she's a actually a good kid; she's just unlucky. Can you hire her as a waitress?”
”Well, when can she start?”
Saint who seemed to be joking was dead serious. With all the shores he was having to take, he was willing to accept a murderer as a waiter, let alone a harmless child thief!
”She can start tonight! She has worked before as a waitress and can directly start working. I'll call her now!”
Colleen noticed Saint's eagerness, took out her phone, walked two steps away and made a phone call. She soon returned and said: ”I'm sure she'll be here in a minute!”
”Great! You've helped me a lot!” Saint said enthusiastically, ”Come in, take a seat, dinner's on the house tonight!”
Colleen shook her head saying: ”Thank you, I will eat, but I'll pay. Uncle Lee and…. with them gone, things shouldn't be easy for you…”
”No don't worry!” Saint said, ”I'm doing pretty well financially! You won't believe it! Yesterday, I met a very rich guy who interrupted my work. Because of that, he compensated me with an entire month's income!”
