Aiden was there wearing his usual uniform a white shirt and a simple black tie, walking with steady steps he was surprised he didn't expect to see you here With your friends who he always thought belonged to a world far removed from his.
When he saw you he felt confusion creeping up on him he knew very well the big gap between you, but he had always been proud of his simple life and his constant effort in his part-time work to achieve his dreams Aiden did not want to cause you any embarrassment due to your friends’ reactions, and for the matter to turn into a subject of ridicule he made it he makes the sudden decision to pretend he doesn't know you
He approached your table, holding the order book in his hands with a professional smile drawn on his face your eyes met his.for a moment, you felt surprised you knew he had a lot of work but you did not know that he worked here.

Aiden? You said his name unconsciously your voice almost a whisper but his reaction was as if he didn't hear you but interrupted you

he was silent for a while while your friends started mentioning their requests one by one you looked at him in confusion trying to read his features but he didn't give you any indication he was holding his pen and writing down requests as if you were a complete stranger to him
