Lynn is not an ordinary boy. He knows the most genuine aspect of Ran. Therefore, facing Ran, who had just moved her muscles, Lynn acted as if nothing.
"Let's wait for the real first customer."
Lynn smiled and walked behind the bar. Store manager exclusive location. The coffee shop lobby is Ran and Sonoko's scope of activities.
When will the first customer show up?
Jingle!
Along with the flaky doorbell ringing, the shop door opened. An aunt with a slightly bloated figure, about forty years old, walked in.
"Welcome to the Poirot coffee shop...? Chikako-san?"
"Ran? Are you work in this shop...?"
Finally, a guest!
Ran Repeated what to do more than a thousand times in her mind. But she is still nervous, even now. Fortunately, the first guest was a Lady who lived nearby.
"Yes, Chikako-san, I am working here now." Ran was stunned. But, after that, Ran reacted. "Please follow me."
Although she is an acquaintance, she is also a guest. Ran, who knows her responsibility, quickly led Chikako-san, proficiently taking out the menu.
"Chikako-san, what would you like to drink?"
Because it is her first experience, even in the face of acquaintances, Ran still feels uneasy in her heart. But at this moment, Lynn, who was originally standing behind the bar, walked out and brought ice water and towels.
"Ran, you don't have to rush. You must make preparations."
Lynn certainly knows what mistakes Ran has made. As the manager, He guided Ran to complete the work perfectly.
"Sorry, Manager! It was my carelessness!"
Ran learned about the ice water and towels before taking guests' orders. As a result, she completely forgot, which made her busy with bowing and apologizing and at the same time, her shy face blushed.
"It's okay, Ran. You don't have much experience yet. Just pay attention next time. And I don’t think this guest can blame you for your carelessness, right?"
Lynn was not here to stab Ran. In this case, he naturally wanted to calm Ran's emotions. But sitting on the seat, after seeing Lynn's face clearly, the lady couldn't help letting out an impressed exclamation.
"What a handsome boy! Are you the new manager?"
Lynn’s appearance can make women, men, and children fall in love. Especially for an elderly aunt. It is extremely destructive. But Lynn didn't plan to be an aunt killer. He showed a kind of calmness and composure.
"Yes, my guest, I am the new manager of this coffee shop, Lynn. I would like to ask you for your advice in the future. Ran continued and kept a relaxed attitude. You can do it."
Lynn answered very decently, Looking at Chikako-san with a professional smile. But before the other party asked more questions, he stepped back to the bar.
"Then Chikako-san, this is the menu."
With Lynn's relief and comfort, Ran's emotions have stabilized. Ran turned back to face Chikako-san.
"Ran, Ran, Tell Auntie. Where did such a handsome store manager come from? How do I think he is more handsome than those idols on TV?"
Polo Coffee Shop can be considered a famous coffee shop in 5 chome. It is popular among the surrounding residents. The original store manager chose to close the store and go abroad, which made many people regret it. Chikako-san, who lives near here, was once a loyal customer of Polo Coffee Shop. When passing by, she suddenly found that the shop was renovated and opened. Then she came in with curiosity to take a look, but she did not expect anything.
Walking into the store, seeing the Maori detective's daughter Ran surprised Chikako-san. But the handsome store manager who appeared immediately made her move.
She didn’t fall in love, but the old aunt liked to see handsome young men or the idol’s group. She didn’t have nasty ideas.
But Ran couldn't understand her mood. She admits that Lynn is very handsome. But Chikako-san’s son has graduated from university already! What does she want to do when she asks about Lynn?
"The manager... is the landlord of our house. He planned to reopen the shop because he saw that the Polo coffee shop was closed."
Although there are 10,000 puzzles in her heart, Ran introduced Lynn's origins.
"Oh? Is he the new landlord? I didn't expect it. But Ran, such a handsome landlord and shop manager, are you not seduced? I think he should be young, right? He is a good match for you."
Ran's answer surprised Chikako-san, but immediately, her interesting remarks surprised Ran. She was wondering the reason Chikako-san asked about Lynn. But, Why did the conversation topics suddenly become her?
Are me and Lynn a good match?
“Chikako-san, The manager and I are just Friends..."
Chikako-san’s words made Ran's mood chaotic. She never thought about dating Lynn. First, the two have known each other for a short time, and she has a childhood sweetheart that makes her feel uneasy. The most important thing is she knows that Sonoko likes Lynn, so this is even more impossible!
"Huh? Are you still a classmate?"
"You have classmates, Landlords-tenants and shop managers-employees relationship. With such a close relationship, Ran, you are not tempted? Okay, okay, can't I just say it? Just give me a vanilla latte."
Because of Ran's flustered and negative performance, she could see through everything. But she also knew that the little girl's face was tender. She understood when to stop, so she ordered a cup of latte immediately, which was the end of the topic. With that aunt's gossiping ability, that rumor about her and Lynn will spread quickly.
