OPEN STARTER; 4/5
location: sweet tooth bakery @sapphirestarters
hearing the bell above the door ring out as it was opened, nadya lifted her head up from the task she was working on, a piping bag in her hand. her opening employee called out, so it was just her in the shop for a few more hours. she grabbed a rag to wipe her hands off before she began walking out from the kitchen to the front register, a friendly smile plastered on her face.
she was sure she looked like a complete mess, strands of hair plastered to her forehead with sweat and what she assumed was a dollop of buttercream frosting on the side of her face. how that got there, she had no idea. her apron was even worse, so she tried brushing the crumbs and flour sticking to it off as she approached the customer.
normally, she actually enjoyed the customer service aspect of her business, but she wasn't in the mood today. she had several order due in a few hours that still needed finishing touches so she could only hope this interaction didn't last too long. "hi there, welcome to sweet tooth! what can i get for you today?" she injected as much cheerfulness into her tone as she could muster, which wasn't very much after the rough start to her day.
