Cuteness 1 and pretty eyes

System note: As the quest volume is bigger than before the rewards will be higher. However, as the quest isn't harder and goes with what the target will do, it doesn't fullful the requirements for being an advanced quest.

"The rewards are already crazy. What will the rewards ne if it was an advanced quest? Well, whatever. At least, I know some more rules of how the quest and rewards functions." Ares thinks after reading the system note.

"Ares, could you be a bit quicker, the queue is only getting longer here." Helena calls Ares from behind the door.

Ares jumps a bit, as he didn't expected it and says. "Give me a minute and I will be ready."

"Fuck, I need to be a bit faster. If I pick **** blissful Orgasmus and it start exactly at Helena's end of the shift in front of the customers, I will feel shitty for a long time. Not to speak of how she and the customers and later our boss will react . Losing her job could not be the worsed of everything that could happen to her. I love to choose the first option which will give her more money but the question is where will it come from? From our boss, from myself or from the app? If the money is from me, I will be so poor I won't be able to pay my rent anymore. If it comes from by boss, I am fine but how will he react to it? I don't have any Perk to help her there. If it comes from the app, Helena and I are safe but that chance is to low. Cuteness 1 and pretty eyes are it. Hopefully, she will be happy about that change and don't freak out." Ending with that thought, Ares selects the second option, before he quickly changes into his waiter uniform.

"Finally, there you are. Could you please clean the tables first." Helena blundy says, as Ares walks out.

"No problem." Ares says before getting to work.

What follows is what one could expect. Cleaning the tables, filling and starting the dishwasher, giving out drinks and more. Being at a spot with a wonderful view at a break time is good for the business and bad for the workers. Customers comes and goes, which doesn't leave much free time for either Helena or Ares. Only after the break time is long over, Ares and Helena get room to breath.

Just after Helena looks at her phone, Ares asks. "Do you want to take a little break? I should be able to hold out alone for a while."

"No, let me continue serve the customers. You can take a little break if you want." Helena says, as puts away her phone.

"Holy shit, if this app isn't real I don't know what else Helena could have taken. She should already be working for at least 3 hours and she still doesn't want a break?" Ares thinks, as stands still like a statue.

"Earth on planet, either go to the breakroom, or at least smile." Helena jokes before she goes back to serving customers.

"Stop thinking to yourself. I am at work. This app is real and I will have still enough time to think everything through after work." While Ares is still excited about all possibilities, he stops thinking about the app as he works.

The more Ares works, the less he thinks about the app. As times goes on, more and more customers come again as it is their time for their afternoon tea and coffee. This only means one thing. A ton of work for Helena and Ares. Everything goes on as usual with just on different which Ares notices, Helena basically only serving the customers. She doesn't clean the tables, clear in and out the dishwasher or takes a break.

Just as Helena shift ends, Ares finds himself staring at her face.

"What beautiful eyes." Ares thinks to himself, as he looks at her blue eyes which one could mistake for gemstones.

"Pfft, what are you looking at Ares? If you continue with that, others will think you have fallen for me." Helena says, as she sees him stare at her like an idiot.

"Cough. Cough. Sorry, I was just lost in thoughts." Ares says while blushing.

"Yeah, sure. My shift ended and the coast is clear, so I will change before leaving." Helena says, before going into the backroom.

"Fuck, what was embrassing. Not only did I stare at her blankly but she also saw me looking at her like that. And hell, that are some beautiful eyes." "Hella, I would like to order something." Ares thoughts get interrupted with a new order.

"As much as I would love to use this app more, working it is for now." Ares curse to himself a bit as he continues working.

Time goes on and at 18:00 his boss finally comes through the door. Before Ares could say anything. "Good to see you. Nicole is sick and took free and now you need to jump in for tomorrows shift again."

Before Ares reacts, his boss lifts his hands to stop him saying anything and add. "And no, there is no one else to take it. Either come tomorrow for the morning shift, or take a sick leave too. I will close the store for today, so go to bed early."

Ares only smiles bitterly, as he couldn't give a counter. This work brings enough money to let him study. While he could search for a new job, nobody knows if his situation elsewhere will be better. And as for taking a sick leave, the chances don't stand good for him to stay healthy the entire year, so saving is a must. Not to forget, that if his boss didn't say it to him, Ares would have probably missed his "shift" like it happens other times too. What else could he do but swallow his hatred?

"At least I can play a bit tonight and I won't miss any lessons tomorrow." Are bitterly smiled to himself, as he starts to change before leaving to his appartment.

After walking for some minutes, Ares arrives at his residential building. It is one of the many building whose rent are quite cheap but comes with in a less optimal state. The facade has some stains, the doors sometimes clamp and some flatmates aren't friendly nor considerately. Only one thing cause Ares to live here. The apartments are good. While everything on the outside screams don't live here, some flats are quite good.

Ares climbs the stairs and arrives as his door. As he goes in, he leaves his things at the door and goes towards the kitchen to make himself something to eat. As for the flat, it is neither big nor small. Ares has a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom, a study and naturally the corridor. What more could he want for the price he pays? The bedroom and study are big enough for his needs, the bathroom has a big bathtub and shower as the last tenant was too fat for the old ones. The kitchen is one thing, which makes Ares really happy. It has more than enough hotplates, a big enough oven and room for him to cock and bake everything he want.

After Ares makes himself something to eat, he goes to his study and starts his computer.

Author's Note: While I have an idea where I want to go with Helena and someone you will know next chapter, there are still others ( like his boss, Berni (Uni-friend), Alex (Uni-friend), Nicole (co-worker), possible family members and others) I have no real plan and would be more than happy for ideas and feedback.
