Chapter 11 - M.D.B 11: Peter Parker! (2/2)
”Stop Stop Stop!” Saint had a headache; he pulled out his cell phone and said, ”Give me your contact information. Right, do you live nearby?”
”My phone number is XXXXXXXXX, I live in Queens, but not too far from here. The subway is just seven stops away; this will still be very easy. I go to the school every day on the subway. I will pass by here. The school is very close to here, just five minutes away. Eh? I just realized that your restaurant is right between the Subway Station and my school…”
”Stop!” Saint's head was aching more and more, and he had a hint of regret: ”While this area is rather good, it isn't the most peaceful place at night. If you don't live nearby, do you think your Aunt will agree that you work here?”
”What?” Peter grabbed the back of his head, was a bit dumbfounded and said: ”I will convince Aunt May. I am a man; I can protect myself….”
'He's not going to stop again!' Saint put his index before Peter's mouth and said.”Call her now! As I said before; I will accept you only if she agrees.”
”Okay, boss, please wait!”
After a while, Peter gave Saint the phone. He had no idea what promise did Peter make to get this, but May gave Saint her verbal consent through the phone. After he hung up, he nodded to Peter: ”Alright! Welcome to Lee's Chinese Restaurant. When you're ready, you can come to work here!”
”YES!” Peter excitedly punched his one palm, rolled up his sleeve and said: ”Boss, I am ready! What should I do?”
”…”
Facing this new employee with no prior experience, Saint couldn't look at him straight and poited to the back of the shop; ”Take you bag and put it in a locker. Work clothes are hung on the wall over there. Find the most fitting ones and change. Now I have something to do, so wait for Lorna. I you have anything you don't understand, just ask her!”
”Boss, who is Lorna?”
”Like you, she's part of the staff. You'll know when you see her!”
After releasing a sigh of frustration, Saint walked into the Kitchen without looking back, and quickly began slicing the meat and preparing the side dishes. Peter took around ten minutes of his time, and he was rather in a hurry.
Ten minutes later, Lorna arrived to the restaurant on time. She pushed the door, spotting the young man who seemed like he might be underage. Right behind her, a tall brown haired woman followed.
”Hi! My name's Peter. Are you Lorna?”
The brown-haired woman squinted at Peter and waved waved impatiently: ”You have mistaken me for someone else!”
”Welcome, please sit down.” Lorna stepped forward and greeted the brown haired women, then push Peter aside. I am Lorna. You're new here? Go to the side and wait for a while.”
