Nag-tatype ako para sa presentation namin ng ang taong pumasok ay nasa may harapan ko na. “Kuya, bili mo nga ako ng softdrinks!” utos ko kay kuya Ford habang nakatingin pa rin sa aking laptop. “You can drink this coffee that I brought instead of drinking some soft drinks.” Umupo si Timo sa harapan ko at mabilis akong napatingin sa kanya.

“That would be ₱134,197, sir. Cash or card?” “Card. And don’t put it on a paper bag. Just the box.” After paying, nilagay ko ang box sa bulsa ng coat ko. On my way back, bumili rin ako ng drinks sa CoCo Fresh. “One salty cream coffee, and one mocha coffee. Both large, 50% sugar.” After makuha, sumakay ako ng elevator, checking my pocket for the ring.

Pero hindi pa tapos ang sermon niya. "Not that cheap excuse of a coffee you made earlier," dagdag pa niya. "Go to Nero's. I want a large iced white mocha, with oat milk, no whip, one shot of espresso on top. And don't forget the cinnamon powder."

“Good morning, sir. How may I help you today?" nakangiting bati ng start ng coffee shop kay Uno. “Miss, what's your best selling coffee?" Uno asked while looking at the menu. “Sir, we have La Colombe Coffee but you may also want to try Chicago French Press—”
