In a heartbeat

The restaurant was so busy. Customers kept coming in and they only had two waitresses.

Camile was one of them.

She grabbed a tray and rushed to a table dropping it gently.

"Enjoy your meal" Her cool voice sounded and she gave the couples a smile before going to carry another tray.

She was rushing to a table when the other waitress rushed past her hitting her hard with her elbow. The food poured on the customer's head and he yelled standing up.

"What the hell?!!"

"I'm so sorry sir" She apologized going to get a napkin. She came and tried to clean him up but he pushed her away and she staggered back.

The manager rushed to the scene.

"What happened Sir?" He asked.

"This stupid waitress of yours poured hot food on my head!" The man yelled.

"Sir I need you to calm down. I don't think she did it intentionally" He said taking Camille's side.

"Do I care if it was intentional? What matter is the fact that she poured hot food on my head!!" He yelled.

"So what do you want me to do?!" The manager snapped.

"Fire her" He ordered and Camile froze.

The waitress who pushed her smirked.

"That's something I won't do. It wasn't intentional. Right Camile?" He said and asked facing Camile.

"Yes. It wasn't intentional" She replied calmly.

"Fire her or I'll make sure this restaurant of yours would shut down" He said. The manager wanted to speak but Camile held his hand.

"I'll leave" Camile said.

"You can't. We need you here" He said facing her.

"I don't want to but I have to. You can't loose your business because of someone like me" She said and he inhaled angrily.

He looked over at the waitress and she faced her work immediately.

"She pushed you didn't she?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter" Camile said with a smile.

"It matters to me" He said and walked over to the waitress.

"Kira" He called and she faced him.

"Yes boss"

"You're fired." He said and her eyes widened same as Camille's.

"Sir" Camile called.

"I can always hire another so no need to worry" He said bringing out bundles of cash.

He gave Kira 50 bucks.

"This is too small!!" She yelled.

"You should have worked harder" He said and handed Camile 1000 dollars.

"Use this to get you and your sister ready for college." He said and her eyes widened.

"How..."

"I have my ways. Just make sure you do well in college alright?" He said and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Yes sir. Thank you" She smiled widely and hugged him which he reciprocated.

After few minutes, they broke the hug and she left.

A taxi stopped in front of the huge mall and the twins came out.

"Your boss is the best!!" Camilla screamed and Camille groaned.

"Can't you stop screaming?" Camille asked.

"Nope" Camilla said and giggled.

"I'm so happy we'd be going to college in two days" She said and Camille smiled.

"Me too"
