After hanging up, Emma took off her headphones and continued typing. The midday in summer was as hot as an oven, but fortunately, the café had air conditioning. Sitting by the window, Emma started to feel sleepy due to the comfortable temperature inside, so she quickly took a sip of her coffee and continued typing. But within two minutes, her sleepiness returned, and she felt her eyelids fighting. She quickly finished her coffee in one go, thinking it would help her stay awake.
“This should keep me awake!” Emma said to herself, but the sleepiness returned, and even finishing the coffee didn’t help!
Emma leaned back in her chair and fell asleep with her mouth open.
Perhaps she was really tired. Emma, who usually didn’t snore, started snoring loudly after sleeping for about two minutes, and the sound grew louder with each breath...
This was embarrassing!
Several tables near Emma heard the snoring and looked over to see her sleeping soundly in her chair, snoring away. This time, she even drooled from the corner of her mouth...
A female customer called out unhappily, “Waiter! Waiter!”
Jake, who was playing a mobile game at the front desk, was suddenly having his phone taken away by his brother, Jake.
“Hey... bro, what are you doing!” Jake looked at Jake, upset and shouted.
“Didn’t you hear the customers calling? You said you were here to help, and playing mobile games at the front desk is your idea of helping?” Jake looked at Jake with disdain.
Jake awkwardly scratched his face, then stood up with a cheeky smile and walked out of the front desk.
It’s better to retreat when you’re at a disadvantage!
“Hey, coming! Where is it?” Jake’s pleasant voice echoed in the café.
“Wow! This guy is so handsome~”
“I know, right~ So hot!”
Tall and clean-cut, Jake was a college senior. He looked fair and handsome, yet a bit mischievous. But when he smiled, he seemed like an innocent young man.
“Damn! Are waiters this good-looking these days?” The middle-aged female customer who had called the waiter was now staring at Jake with a silly smile.
“Hello! How can I help you?” Jake asked with a smile.
“Oh my god! Your smile is making my heart melt. I almost forgot what I was going to say!” The female customer said with a Northeastern accent. “Over there! That woman! It’s okay to sleep, but she’s snoring and drooling! It’s so noisy, and I can’t concentrate on my work!”
Jake looked over and saw Emma indeed sleeping in her chair, snoring and drooling. This time, she was even louder. Jake was stunned, having never seen such an unattractive sleeping woman in a public place.
“Sir! Sir?”
“Huh? Oh, just a moment!”
Jake was momentarily stunned and then returned to his senses when the customer called him again. He hurried back to the front desk, where Jake was washing cups.
“Bro...”
“Speak.”
“There’s a woman over there snoring and drooling in her sleep... it’s disturbing others...” Jake said, recalling the scene and feeling speechless.
“So?”
“Why don’t you go wake her up?”
“Why don’t you?”
Jake gave Jake a look and continued pouring coffee beans into the coffee machine. “You’re the waiter now, so you should go.”
“But...”
“Phone confiscated.”
“I’ll do it!”
“What?”
“No, no... I mean I’ll wake her up...”
Jake put on a smile that looked sadder than crying and walked towards Emma.
“Cough, cough...” Jake pretended to cough by Emma’s side, but she didn’t react, of course, except for the snoring. Jake then knocked on the table in front of Emma, but she still slumped there, fast asleep.
This was a bit tricky... Was this girl a pig or something?
“Miss! Please wake up!”
“...”
“Miss! Hello! Please wake up!”
“...”
Hmm, Jake suddenly realized something! Although she hadn’t woken up, the snoring had stopped!
That’s good,
right? The customers were complaining about her loud snoring, and now that it’s stopped, there’s no problem!
Thinking this way, Jake smiled and was about to turn around and leave when Emma’s breathing started again, even louder. Jake was stunned and had no choice but to retract his foot, which was about to step forward, and turned back.
Looking at the sleeping Emma, Jake couldn’t wake her up and felt helpless... Why not just stuff a piece of paper into her nose and mouth?!
Right, that’s a good idea! Jake clapped mentally. He quickly took out a piece of paper from the box on the table, tore it in half, and used one half to try to stuff Emma’s nostril.
It was his first time doing this, and Jake’s hands were a bit shaky. He gently approached Emma and was about to stuff the paper into her nostril when she sneezed right in Jake’s clean and handsome face.
“Ah-choo!”
Jake froze, as if about to turn into stone, with Emma’s saliva all over his face!
At the same time, Emma, who rubbed her nose, woke up. Her head, which was tilted up, lowered, and Jake’s face was right in front of her, only a fist’s distance away! She opened her eyes wide in disbelief...
“Ah!”
“Ah~”
Male and female high-pitched screams sounded in the café, startling everyone. They all turned to look at them, including Jake, who was busy at the front desk and rushed over in a panic.
Seeing the scene, Jake quickly ran up and covered their mouths.
“Shh! Don’t scream!” Jake whispered fiercely, then turned to the startled customers in the café with a smile, “Sorry, everyone! Please continue, please continue!” They gradually turned back to what they were doing and chatting.
