Chapter 134: Texting On The Toilet
"I will be taking my lunch break now," Dante said as he took off his rubber gloves and apron.
It was 12:00, the time around which the employees of Blue Ember pause their work to get some sustenance. Such a big establishment couldn’t afford to have everyone stop working all at once, however. For that reason, the employees in every section divided themselves into several batches and scheduled their breaks, taking turns eating just to ensure the operation doesn’t stop.
Dante wasn’t having any of that, however. As he walked away from his post, the other dishwashers regarded him with looks of displeasure. Their contract said nothing about taking turns and organizing their breaks, and since he wasn’t there to make friends, he disregarded their opinions and stopped working as soon as the clock hit 12:00.
He got the nastiest of looks from none other than Ben, who stood at the door leading to the kitchen, arms crossed as he glowered.
"I better not find you sleeping again!"
Dante gave him the middle finger and went on his way. Earlier that morning, while Dante was resting before in the break before his shift started, the pale goblin lost his temper and went on a rant about how sleeping on the job wasn’t allowed. Dante took that chance to very calmly explain that he wasn’t in the mood to put up with a fat fuck’s BS.
Ben hadn’t bothered him ever since and even kept his distance during the first three hours of their workday. Who knew that a honest conversation would be all it takes to convince someone with such a nasty personality to fuck off?
Though it was lunch break, Dante had other plans for his forty-five minutes of free time. He headed to the employee’s bathroom and entered one of the stalls and sat down on the toilet, but not before checking the rest of the stalls and making sure no one was there.
Fortunately, whoever handled designing this part of the hotel didn’t cut costs by making the partitions so small that people could peek on neighboring stalls. The space was almost entirely sealed so Dante didn’t have anything to worry about.
