Amelia, preoccupied with straightening the curtains, inspecting her employees' outfits, and giving a hurried thumbs-up to March in response to his question, doesn't notice Mari's appearance. That is, until she hears the tell-tale sound of somebody hitting the floor. (What does she mean by "tell-tale", you ask?
It's not important right now.) Rushing over to help the girl pick herself up from off the floor, she peers both curiously and worriedly at Mari, then pulls a handkerchief out of her pocket.
"That looked pretty nasty, are you alright?" she asks, holding the handkerchief out for Mari to take.
"If you're here to apply, then you can head right over to..." Scanning the room, Amelia lands on Minkyu's face, who is currently busy preparing two lattes for Naomi and March. A lightbulb comes on over Amelia's head.
"...Minkyu! He's our barista, but he'll be happy to help you!" Please forgive me for my betrayal, brother, she says silently, as Minkyu turns to glare at her.
I have many important things to do. Also, you need to get out more."Hey, everyone, listen up!" Raising her voice, Amelia addresses her employees; a glance at the clock tells her it's less than ten minutes until opening, and they have several dedicated breakfast customers.
"Café Crème is going to open very soon, so get to work! Make this place look inviting as possible, okay?"Adjusting the pink cat ears on top of her head, Amelia engages in a silent conversation with Minkyu by pointing at her own head until her brother gets the hint and pulls out his own coffee-colored pair of fake ears. He hates putting them on, but Amelia insists because
it's part of the theme, Minkyu! Don't you want to get into the theme?, to which he would probably just say
no. But she insists!
"Jet, put a smile on your face! Megan, you'll be working waitress for a while, alright? March, don't forget about our "special omelet special!"
And remember, everyone... Café Crème puts the "Purr" in "Purrfect!"
"I'd like... Breakfast Set A, with a cup of Rose Hip tea.""Of course! That's a purrfect choice~ I'll be back soon with your order, nya!" Flouncing from table to table with confidence and cuteness, Amelia the catmaid takes orders and pours teas with a practiced hand, while also keeping an eye on her coworkers! What style! What grace! And of course, the other maids at Café Crème aren't lacking in charm themselves! How each employee acts is all part of the act, and what a delightful act it is! As maid cafés go, this is one of the best!
"Excuse me... Excuse me, can I get the butler to serve me...?" "Yes, of course!"Minkyu better get back from interviewing soon... Amelia thinks, stopping to lick some cream off her wrist while she retrieves a pot of coffee.
Hopefully Naomi can take care of any detailed orders! Today, the work at Café Crème is going on as usual, and Amelia suspects they won't hit rush hour until after noon. It's alright; most of their customers prefer a snack after work or lunch after a lecture.
"Jet, this customer wants to see you~ Make me proud!"
