Kevin listened attentively as Sia shared her story. She talked about how her parents had tragically lost their lives in a monster attack, alongside Venice's parents. She also mentioned Venice's marriage and how they reconnected, sharing some insights about her daughters and various other details.
As he listened to her story, Kevin playfully encouraged Sia to sit on his lap, and to his surprise, she went along with it, getting quite comfortable. While Kevin was an excellent listener, his hand wasn't as they seemed to have a mind of their own, sneakily exploring her abs through her shirt and tracing her waist. Sia, however, was so absorbed in her storytelling that she didn't comment on Kevin's wandering hand, leaving him in a somewhat amusing predicament.
This was surprising because she wasn't typically talkative, but today she seemed unstoppable. However, she suddenly halted and stood up from his lap. Confused, Kevin asked, "What happened? Why did you stop?"
"She is here." Sia pointed outside the shop through the glass window at a slightly taller girl with a plump yet curvy build. The girl was dressed professionally in a white shirt, black pants, and high heels. She wore hazel-framed glasses that matched her hair color and held a collection of files and other items in her hands as she scanned her surroundings.
"Who's that?" Kevin asked, a bit confused. But then, recognizing the resemblance to last night's companion, he asked, "Is that Amy?"
Sia nodded and made a request. "Kevin, please, promise me you won't mess with her. I'd never forgive you if you did, alright?"
Kevin continued to admire Amy's cute face before turning back to Sia with a grin. "She's not my type, plus she's not a MILF, like more mature women like you, for example," he quipped.
Sia, still not entirely convinced, scrutinized his smiling face for a moment. Then, Kevin chuckled and urged, "Why are you staring at my face? Go welcome her; she looks lost." With a slightly mistrustful expression, Sia headed towards the door and greeted Amy with a friendly smile, waving at her. "Amy, over here!"
Amy was taken by surprise when she heard her name called in this unfamiliar place. She looked around with a furrowed brow, but her expression quickly transformed into one of surprise and delight as she spotted the caller's face.
"Aunty Sia, what are you doing here?" she exclaimed with excitement, making her way toward Sia, who greeted her with an adorable smile.
Amy's small but plump lips displayed her pearly white teeth as her bubbly cheeks formed a perfect smile. What added to her cuteness were the dimples on her face and a petite nose that was neither too sharp nor too dull for her round yet slightly elongated face. Her hazel-colored hair, styled in a bun, gave her a mature appearance.
If Chloe was a young and beautiful copy of her mother, Amy could easily be described as an even more adorable version of her mom.
"I work here," Sia said with a smile, hugging Amy as she extended her arms for an embrace.
"Seriously? I'm here for an interview. I might end up working here as well," Amy responded, her excitement evident in her casual tone.
"Yeah, I know," Sia said with a smile and added, "You're going to work here with me."
Amy's happiness grew upon hearing this, and she replied, "That would be fantastic."
"Yeah, it would be," Kevin chimed in as he exited the shop since they wouldn't come inside.
Amy gazed at Kevin with confusion as he exited the shop. Seeing her puzzlement, Sia explained, "He's Kevin, the owner of the store where you'll be working."
"Hello, Miss Amy. It's nice to meet you. You really resemble your mother," Kevin said, extending his hand.
Amy shook his hand, studying his youthful appearance. "I thought Chloe was just exaggerating, but she was right – you're still quite young, Mr. Kevin."
"Yeah, I am younger than you, Miss Amy," Kevin replied with a smile. "Shall we continue our conversation inside?"
Amy nodded, and Kevin turned to Sia, asking, "Sia, could you grab us some tea or water? What do you prefer, Miss Amy?"
Amy declined, saying, "Nah, I'm good, Mr. Kevin."
Kevin shrugged in agreement, and Amy, looking a bit puzzled, turned to Sia and said, "Auntie, Mom didn't mention you worked here."
Sia replied, "Oh, she probably forgot. And Kevin, why all the formalities? Just hire her already," she said, rolling her eyes at Kevin.
"Sia, come on! Let me play the part of a real business owner with an interview," Kevin protested, grinning playfully.
Listening to their banter, Amy looked at them with confusion. Sia turned to Amy and advised, "Don't pay him any mind, Amy. You're hired. He's just going to waste your time with his acting."
"Hey, I am the owner of this store... At least let me ask some questions," Kevin protested, feeling a bit put down as Sia hired Amy without his permission. He added, "Well, I was already going to hire you," and then turned to Amy with a smile. "Miss Amy, you're hired."
Amy couldn't believe what was happening. She had come here with doubts, unsure if she would actually get the job after facing rejections from several other places. Now, she was being hired without having to answer any interview questions or present her certificates. It all seemed a bit too easy, and suspicion crept into her mind. However, with her aunt working here as well, it began to feel more legitimate.
Still, she hesitated, and sensing her hesitation, Sia asked, "Is there anything you want to ask, Amy?"
Amy, encouraged by her aunt, looked at Kevin and asked with a somewhat hesitant tone, "I was just thinking, what would my salary be?"
Kevin smiled at her question and replied, "Salary? How do 9000 units sound? It's a bit less than what Sia gets, but she's more of a help to me."
Amy stared at Kevin with a puzzled expression. "9000 units?" she repeated, and then her expression changed to shock as she exclaimed loudly, "9000 units?" She looked at Kevin with a stunned look and asked, "Why?"
