Chapter 34

Did this green–haird kid know Orion?

Andrea wondered as she followed its directions.

She didn’t say anything extra, afraid of blowing her cover.

With someone guiding her, she made good time. About fifteen minutes later, she stopped in front of a deserted–lookin

restaurant.

The kid chirped its thanks, fluttered down from Andrea’s arms, wiggled its fluffy little bottom, and went into the shop door.

Andrea was left standing alone at the restaurant entrance.

She wasn’t sure. She looked at the bustling street, then back at this unpopular, customer–less establishment.

Why would a place this dead need to hire someone?

To eat for the owner?

She double–checked the shop name on her letter of introduction against the signboard above the door. They matched. Resigned, she walked inside.

She glanced at the old employee who’d been napping earlier, her eyes filled with sympathy–Life was hard.

The Birdfolk noticed her look and gave her a strange glance.

Then, beaming at Russell, it said, “Uncle, does this mean I don’t have to stay in the shop every day?”

Russell waved a wing. “Go play.”

The Birdfolk ran out the door like a gust of wind, leaving Andrea staring in disbelief.

The fool was me all along.

Russell kept talking, laying out her duties. He talked for three minutes without stopping.

Finally, as he paused to drink some water, Andrea couldn’t help asking, “Um, Russell, I haven’t decided to take the job yet.”

He just gave her a bland look and continued assigning tasks.

‘Anyway, you’ll be responsible for cleaning, serving customers, cooking, and washing dishes. I’ll handle the bookkeeping. Those are your duties. Follow the rules. There will be fines for mistakes.”

He flashed another big smile that made her hair stand on end.

She had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he waved her letter of introduction in front of her face. “You’ve already signed this. It’s an employment contract, not a letter of introduction.

‘It contains your identity information. According to official regulations, you must work at this shop for a full month before you can resign. Otherwise, you’ll face a hefty fine.

‘Also, if you quit voluntarily, your salary will be forfeited.”

Without waiting for her reaction, he waved and walked out.

At the door, he tossed her one more “encouraging” comment, “Work hard. At least you’ll get ted.

I’ve seen shady, but this is a new level!‘

She clenched her wrist and told herself to stay calm.

After that one question. Russell fell silent again.

Andrea saw that his gaze had gone unfocused. This seemed like a good time to probe.

She chatted idly for a bit, and he cooperated.

Then she asked, “Russell, does our shop have a recipe book?”

He’d been propping his head up and was almost asleep, suddenly shot to his feet.
