Chapter 9
<<<ELSA'S POV>>>
It's already eleven and I'm about sixty-five percent done with the food and drink! Tadashi and Hiro were always there when I came out of the kitchen with all the different plates of food and drink. I think they were in shock at how fast I was working and it was just by myself. At quarter past eleven, I was eight percent done and my crew walked through the door in shock at all the work I was going.
"Wow it's just like the good old days! Remember that?" Tiana asked laughing.
The good old days...I miss them a lot, but my catering service is big now! Back in the day, my catering service hadn't boomed just yet. Things were quite a struggle and I was listening to Papa's words from before...they had a huge impact on me. I was a rapid cook, but a great one too according to the people I catered! I would be there before all the crew and be cooking away and almost done.
"Well, we will get to work then!" Naveen clapped.
Today my crew is Naveen, Tiana, Anastasia, Jane, Aladdin and Shang. Jasmine isn't coming in today, because she is actually on maternity leave! Aladdin and Jasmine have been so happy together, they deserve all the good in their lives!
"Right, everyone get to your stations at any available space!" I clapped.
They all went rushing to work and I took off my chef hat and chef jacket. I walked out and smiled at my work - it's looking excellent so far! I dusted myself off and Tadashi Hamada made his way over.
"Thank you again for all of this." Tadashi smiled gratefully.
"It's no problem! I want my business to be boosting with every one of it's works!" I smiled.
"You are a very independent woman, aren't you?" He laughed.
"You know it!" I laughed.
We were just having a laugh and a joke. All the food was set and served at the buffet table so I just let my crew just relax. The event starts at quarter to twelve and it has just gone twelve thirty-five, just ten more minutes for the event to begin!
"Well me and my brother had better stand at the front and start letting people in!" Tadashi smiled.
I nodded. Everything should be going good for this event. I noticed that Aladdin was on the phone, probably to Jasmine. He looked a bit stressed out, he put his phone back in his pocket. I walked over to him.
"Hi, Aladdin. Are you alright?" I asked concerned.
He just nods. I can tell he isn't, I look at the clock and it is quarter to twelve - this event is going to be on for three hours.
"Go," I smiled.
"Huh?" Aladdin said confused.
"I can see the worry written all over your face, go to her." I smiled,
"But the event is--" I cut him off.
"Me and the rest can handle it, you go." I smiled.
"Thank you," He said happily.
With that Aladdin left. He is so worried about Jasmine, because of Jasmine's stalker getting out of prison. His name was Jafar, I think? I know he was stalking her, since she was seveteen! He was jailed about six years ago when he tried to kidnap her. He got out yesterday and Aladdin has been worried as heck, I don't blame him especially as Jasmine is pregnant. People began to fill up the room, I wonder how Merida is doing on her first day at the assistant job! I'll quickly message her.
Elsa Winters - Hey, Mer. How has the assistant job been going?
The room was already filling up, well HSP is a huge deal among science and business partners. People were already going for drinks and the food. Excellent, I can see people are loving it!
"Everyone, may I have your attention please!" Tadashi said through the microphone on stage.
Everyone dropped silent and turned to Tadashi on the stage. There is something red on the stage. By the look, it looks like a red bag? Huh, why is there a red bag on stage?
"Many of the scientists at HSP have been to work with their minds with knowledge and creativity." Tadashi joked.
There was chuckles from the crowd. Tadashi knows how to laugh about, that is for sure!
"I, myself have bought a solution to medical care. Now at first glances - it may seem a little strange, but hey what's the world without a little strange, eh?" Tadashi laughed.
More laughs and chuckles from the crowd. Tadashi stepped aside and it was the red bag. It really is weird at first glance and then everyone discovered the bag thing wasn't actually a bag, it opened and a big plushy marshmallow came out. The crowd was amazed, but confused.
"Hello, I am Baymax. Your personal healthcare companion." The marshmallow said.
Wait, it's a robot? Wow, it just looks like a huge plushy teddy in all honesty. It looks so adorable!
"This is Baymax. He is my latest invention and the solution to all health care!" Tadashi smiled proudly.
"Scan me!" Tadashi said.
The robot looks at him and everyone is in silence. This is a bit strange, you can tell Tadashi is really happy.
"Your neurotransmitter levels are elevated this indicates that you are...happy." Baymax states.
Everyone in the crowd gasped in awe and clapped with amazement. This is amazing! Wow, I remember when I used to do science - I got an A+ in it back in HighSchool. Tadashi passes the microphone over to Hiro.
"H-Hi, I'm Hiro Hamada. And I will be showing my science project..." Hiro said very nervously.
Everyone in the crowd is in silence, just staring. Hiro gulped and turns to his big brother, Tadashi gives his little brother a big thumbs up. He took a deep breath and put on a metal headband? What on Earth? He takes something small out of his pocket.
"This is a microbot." Hiro said.
People look at him like he is a crazy person, Hiro then takes another deep breath.
"It doesn't look like much, but when if links up with the rest of it's pals..." Hiro continued.
Suddenly, six blue bins fall over and more black microbots come rushing out. Everyone in the crowd gasped in shock.
"Things get a little more interesting!" Hiro says slyly.
The microbots are all stuck together into a square. This is amazing! God, they really love science! Science is amazing, if you ask me!
"They are controlled with this neurotransmitter..." Hiro explained.
He takes the neurotransmitter off his head and they all fall down, he puts it back on his head and they go back to forming the previous square shape.
"I think what I want them to do and they do it." Hiro smiled.
The microbots form into a different shape. A hand?! Wow...the hand waves to us in the crowd. One woman waves her hand back to it, she looks a little like Hiro and Tadashi if you ask me.
"The application to this tech are limitless, construction!" Hiro clapped.
Suddenly, the microbots move and start forming something. What on Earth? They are forming something inside, but it doesn't look like more microbots.
"What used to take teams of people working by hand for months or years can now be accomplished by one person!" Hiro says.
He is now on top of a small building! Everyone in the crowd gasped in awe. This is extremely amazing!
"And that's just the beginning! How about..." Hiro trails off.
He stepped off the tall small building causing everyone to gasp in horror.
"Transportation?" Hiro asked.
Microbots are under his feet and he started walking, the microbots are doing the exact same to keep up with Hiro.
"Microbots can move anything, anywhere with ease." Hiro commented.
Hiro is being hung upside down for the ceiling and travelled along over to the other side of the room. Hiro put his hand out and Tadashi high fives him - Hiro gets back by the stage and the microbots made a moving escalator for Hiro and he stood back on the stage.
"The only limit is your imagination!" Hiro smiles.
The microbots fall apart again and they morph into one huge microbot.
"Microbots!" Hiro cheered.
Everyone in the crowd is going wild, science is such an amazing thing! This is absolutely marvellous! Just looking at this stuff, it really is amazing and remarkable! Many people showed off their science projects, they were very fascinating! After three hours, the event was over. It was so amazing! All the different science projects are absolutely unique.
Me and my crew are cleaning up the food, drink and kitchen. A good chef always cleans up after themselves! I learned that for Cooking 101 back when I was eight. Me and Anna both got to choose an after school club, because Mama and Papa would always work late at the company. I was meant to choose Fashion Business 101, but I chose Cooking 101 instead. Anna was the one that chose Fashion Business 101, when she turned six. Anna is two years younger than me you see. After about an hour of cleaning, everything is spick and span. The crew leave and I go to Tadashi. I need to transfer the cash to everyone's account for this job.
"Hey, Elsa. Here is your pay check." Tadashi smiled.
My jaws dropped. He just handed me a cheque of two and a half million dollars?! This is way too much!
"T-This is too much!" I gasped.
"No, it's not." Tadashi smiled.
"I-I can't accept this much!" I gasped.
"You can and you will, no take backs." Tadashi smiled.
My phone starts ringing. Huh? Who could this be? I gave Tadashi a quick wave goodbye and pick up the phone walking to my car.
"Hello, Elsa Winters speaking!" - Elsa
"Hello, Els? It's me, Merida!" - Merida
"Oh! Hello, Merida. What's up?" - Elsa
"You remember how I am working with Hiccup Haddock, right?" - Merida
"Yeah? Is something wrong?" - Elsa
"No, no, well...forget that. Anyway, he is looking for the best caterer he can find and you were the first one that came to mind, obviously!" - Merida
"Well, thank you! When is it for?" - Elsa
"Well, I know this is a little short notice..." - Merida
"C'mon, Mer. Spit it out!" - Elsa
"It's kind of for tomorrow...?" - Merida
"Wait, tomorrow?!" - Elsa
"I know, it's really short notice. Do you think you will be able to do it? It will be for sin in the evening?" - Merida
"I will do my best, but I don't think all my workers will be able to..." - Elsa
"At least, you're trying. I will be grateful!" - Merida
"See you! I will be ringing my workers in the next hour." - Elsa
"Thank you, Elsa!" - Merida
"Not a problem, Mer. What are friends for?" - Elsa
I ended the call and stared at the cheque still in utter shock. I mean, two and a half million dollars! There is going to be a million left for the restaurant! I have an extra account for the restaurant. There is a lot! I went to the bank and transferred money into everyone's account. I gave Aladdin and Jasmine more, because they are struggling with Jasmine's father's hospital bill, rent and paying off loans. Plus, they have a baby on the way. I have rang around everyone. So there is going to be me, Shang, Phillip, Tiana, Naveen and Susan. We have so much to get done for Merida. It seems like Hiccup is giving her heck from what I can tell.
Elsa Winters - Hey, Mer! I have five people who can do it with me
Merida Scott - Five? Will that be enough?
I laughed. Oh, Merida! You worry way too much, I am the best in my business for a reason! All my workers work for the quality and the quantity.
Elsa Winters - You are aware that you are talking to me, right? Lol
Merida Scott - Oh, right. Sorry, I'm just really paranoid about this!
Paranoid? Now, I know Merida and she is rarely ever paranoid! I wonder what is going on with her?
Elsa Winters - Is everything okay, Mer?
Merida Scott - Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
That response is a little strange, especially coming from Merida. Why is she acting so weird?
Elsa Winters - Merida, I know you. You are acting really weird...
Merida Scott - Look it's nothing to worry about. So just keep it cool, okay?
I really don't like that response at all. She is just acting so strange. Maybe it's her Mum? Could it be that having her job is stressing her out? I mean to weave in and out for Hiccup's company work and then her cake decorating business.
Elsa Winters - Is it your Mum again?
Merida Scott - Yes and no. I'm just under so much pressure and stress at the minute, I feel emotional drained lately
Poor Merida! Well, Friday could be a good plan...I might plan a day out for me, Merida, Anna and Rapunzel! Not clubbing, but we could all go out and eat at a restaurant! It would be nice, we don't usually have regular girls days/nights out.
Elsa Winters - I'll tell you what. How about we go out Friday? Me, you, Punzie and Anna at a restaurant
Merida Scott - Are my eyes playing tricks on me? :O
I laughed at that. Well it's not everyday that Elsa Winters plans a day or a night out, because she is a complete workaholic and all!
Elsa Winters - Ha ha, very funny -_- And no, they aren't. I mean, I could use a break from working all day every now and again!
Merida Scott - Seriously, are you sick?! :O
Elsa Winters - No, I'm not. You are a complete nutcase sometimes! :D
Merida Scott - Me? You just said words that I thought would never come out of your mouth!
Elsa Winters - So does that sound good anyway?
Merida Scott - Yeah, it does sound quite nice!
Elsa Winters - I will go onto the group with Anna and Punzie to ask
Merida Scott - Sounds good! :D
I go onto The Girls group chat. It's quite insane how this is all working out. I mean, me Elsa Winters saying she needs a break from work. Well in two weeks time, we are cooling off the catering business for a month. We work on the clock twenty four seven, we need a break too. I might get really bored though, I might take up that modelling offer for a bit! That's when I do get bored of no work.
Elsa Winters - Hey, girls! What are you doing Friday? Other than Merida, because I already know, lol :D
Rapunzel Prince - What time on Friday? I am going to see Daisy's play
Elsa Winters - At six to seven o'clock
Rapunzel Prince - Well, I'll be free then. Why, what's up?
Merida Scott - Now, Rapunzel. Brace yourself! Listen to what THE Elsa Winters has to say :O
Rapunzel Prince - Umm...okay...?
Elsa Winters - I was thinking we could all go out to eat! I mean, we could all use a break from work and such
Rapunzel Prince - Holy chameleon!
Anna Winters - Hey, girls. What did I miss?
Merida Scott - Look up from the first message from today and you will see!
I am at Starbucks. Hmm...now what would I like? I don't know! I love Starbucks so much! The coffee, the frappes, just everything here is heaven! I'm in the mood for a double chocolate chip frappuccino and a chocolate chip cookie!
"Welcome to Starbucks. I'm Sally, what are you ordering today?" The girl, Sally smiled.
"Hi, I would like a double chocolate chip frappuccino and a chocolate chip cookie, please." I ordered.
"Name please?" Sally asked.
"Elsa." I smiled.
I took a seat and wait for my order. My phone goes off and it's a messenger notification, no doubt that's Anna. She is quite a slow reader sometimes.
Anna Winters - Elsa, do you need medicine? I can go and grab some antibiotics, a thermometer and stuff, if you are not well! :O
Merida Scott - Anna, that was EXACTLY my reaction! :D
Rapunzel Prince - Well, I have to say that I am shocked!
Elsa Winters - Come on, give me a break. I have a lot of work and sometimes, it can be a load of pressure :(
Anna Winters - That is true, the company is having problems at the minute and it is so stressful!
Huh? There are problems with the company? I hope it isn't too bad. I may not talk to Papa anymore, but I still care for my family.
Elsa Winters - Problems?
Rapunzel Prince - Is everything okay, Anna? :/
Merida Scott - Problems with the company? Damn, that can't be good...
Anna Winters - Not really...one of our main outfit design and crafters packed up and left. Our best model has went on holiday and our celebrity sponsor has dropped out last minute! :'(
Oh gosh, that really is bad! They need a celebrity sponsor to keep the company well known and they also need a design and craft for the outfit making. I took business, well...it was by force, but I know this stuff.
Rapunzel Prince - I could help you out with the design and craft! You know I make clothes myself and I could show your Dad my works :)
Anna Winters - But what about your art work, Punzie?
Rapunzel Prince - Haha, Anna. My husband works for a huge company. Trust me, my art work can wait until you get a proper design and craft position taken up :)
Anna Winters - Rapunzel, thank you! I'm so grateful! :)
Merida Scott - I could be your celebrity sponsor. Famous and rich parents, their company and me working at Haddock Enterprises
Anna Winters - Merida, thank you!
This could be my opportunity for work! Everyone knows that I love to work! Hmm...I still have the problem of seeing Papa, I don't want to see him...I can't forgive and forget that easily, even if it has been six years.
Elsa Winters - I could be your model for a month. My catering service is on it's last yearly break, we are in October after all! So, work will start again for me at my catering business November sixteenth
Anna Winters - Elsa, thank you! This really means a lot to me!
Elsa Winters - But, I have one condition!
Anna Winters - Yes, what is it?
Elsa Winters - Keep Papa in the dark about me being a model for a month and do your best to not let Papa know I'm working for you
Anna Winters - Can't you just forgive him, Elsa? What did he even do that was so bad?
I sighed. Why must my little sister ask these questions? I can't...I can't stand just forgive him...Anna doesn't know, but Mama knows. She wanted me to see a therapist after everything, because I had changed.
Elsa Winters - You don't know what he did, Anna. No, I can't forgive and forget now, drop it!
I turned my phone off and bashed my head off the table. People are looking, but I don't really give a damn at the minute.
"Elsa?" The cashier called.
