Midnight Diner ~ Steakhouse (Rev.)

Volume 51 (Probing - Part 1) Previously: After the young boss left... Pei rushed over...! Pei: So... so you're quitting? Me: No! Who told you that? Pei: Then why did you just...? Tell the young boss the day after tomorrow... It's obvious Pei was also very concerned! About what the young boss and I discussed! About the shifts scheduled! And what I said! Why are they different! Me: I have something on the day after tomorrow! I just took an extra day off from the boss! Pei: Hmm... then... the day after that? Me: I'm taking that day off too! So it's three days off in a row! Pei seemed relieved after hearing this! So... you're working normally on the fourth day? Me: Yeah! Why are you so concerned? Pei: I'm not! I was just thinking... if you quit! We'll be short-staffed in the front and get busy again! And... then after work... There'll be no one to eat with anymore. She said, lowering her head, stealing glances at me out of the corner of her eye! I leaned closer to Pei... . Me: Oh~ So I'm just the eating companion? Pei: N-no... Before she could finish, Pei lowered her head and ran off! Before she left, I said! Me: The young boss asked about your situation! Just say you don't know! And remember not to tell him... Wait for me to come back to handle it! After a while... Pei seemed to have composed herself. Pei: Then... after work! You... me... Me: Something else? Are you asking if we want to grab a late-night snack together? To be continued...
