The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

When Ren came home, Fae decided to discuss her plans for finding a part-time job and began preparing to enroll for school. The new semester would start in September, but she could start applying and choosing the program by April.

"Hmm ... where do you want to work?" asked Ren patiently when he heard Fae's request. He remembered that several months ago Fae had already stated that she wanted to find things to do and keep herself busy. He managed to persuade Fae to postpone her plans to get a job because Moravia had entered winter. Since the temperature had fallen so drastically, it was uncomfortable to go out.

But now spring had arrived and everything was getting better. He had no reason to prevent Fae from doing what she wanted. That's why Ren tried to listen carefully.

"I'm only a high school graduate, so I can't work in big companies.. at least not yet. But I can work in a cafe or restaurant as a part-time waiter," Fae said.

Ren looked concerned. He knew that working as a waiter in a cafe or restaurant in the city center, especially in a tourist area, was not as easy as Fae imagined. New employees or part-time workers usually would be assigned to work in busy shifts or the night shift, which many people don't want to take.

Fae would be busy when Ren came home from work. This made him unhappy. However, when he saw the pair of beautiful brown eyes in front of him looking so excited, the man could not say anything that would make her sad. Finally, Ren just nodded.

"It's fine. But we have agreed that you have to let me know if you get a job offer somewhere so I can check whether the company is safe or not. I don't want to risk you working in an unsafe place, or if they have a record of abusing their workers," he said.

Fae nodded with a smile. "Of course."

"Only part-time work, to keep you busy, okay. Not more than 20 hours a week," reminded Ren.

"Yes, I know."

"Hmm .. then how about your school? When do you want to see the campus?" asked Ren.

"Next week, I might as well take a trip to the Old Town area looking for a job vacancy while checking the school."

"Okay." Ren sighed. "Sorry, I can't take you there. You will have to go with John."

"Ahaha .. it's okay. I know you shouldn't appear in public. People will get hysterical." Fae touched Ren's hand and squeezed it. She could feel that Ren was very concerned about her. He wanted to be with her to do many things, but in his current position, they both knew that it was impossible. Fae really understood that.

"One day, I will accompany you anywhere, and we can live our lives without having to think about other people," said Ren with a little smile. "I hope everything goes according to my plan."

"I hope so."

Fae was excited when she walked out of the house that afternoon to start checking her prospective new school. She stopped by the Old Town area and past the rows of pretty cafes and restaurants to see if there were any vacancies for reception or waiter. She asked Linda to go with her so she wouldn't feel alone.

"I don't understand why you want to work in a cafe ..." Linda commented as they walked down the historical cobbled street in the Old Town area, observing their left and right. "You don't need money, do you?"

"That's right, Ren gives me a lot of money every month, enough to buy whatever I want in life," Fae said. "But there are things that cannot be bought with money, Linda. I am very lonely at home since I cannot do anything. If I worked part-time, at least I can meet people and make friends, especially people my age."

"Hmm .. that's because you don't have any children, Madame. If you have children, you will be very busy taking care of them. You won't have time to feel lonely," said Linda with a grin. "Oh, I can imagine how your children would look like. They will be extremely handsome or beautiful! I can't wait to see them and help you care for them."

Fae could only sigh and did not reply to Linda's babbling. She and Ren had agreed not to have children until Ren could step down from his position as the heir to the Moravian throne.

Linda was right in saying that if Fae had children, she wouldn't feel lonely again in such a big mansion. Fae personally really wanted children in her marriage, especially since both Ren and she were orphans.

However, unfortunately ... Fae had to be patient and wait for a very long time. That's why, to divert her attention from the loneliness at home, Fae decided to go to school and work part-time.

"Let's go to this cafe. It looks like a very comfortable place," said Fae suddenly. She wanted Linda to stop talking about children, so she pulled the middle-aged woman's hand into a large cafe that looked very crowded. "Let's have lunch here, Linda."

The two of them were greeted by a beautiful short haired staff who was very friendly. She asked Fae and Linda to wait while she checked for available tables.

"Ahh .. you are so lucky, a guest just paid for their food and will be out soon. You can take their table. The others happen to be full." She spread her arms and invited them to follow her to a table in the corner.

"Thank you," said Fae politely. She and Linda then sat side by side and began to check the menu. After finding a dish they liked, the two of them ordered food and drinks.

The waiter swiftly took their order. She returned five minutes later with a basket of bread and mineral water. She also brought two glasses of red wine on a tray. 

Fae and Linda enjoyed their mineral water and bread while waiting for the dishes they ordered to arrive. Unfortunately, because the cafe was very full, their food took quite a long time to come.

"This cafe is quite busy, and they are understaffed. So, our food is taking a while," commented Fae. She looked around and noticed that many of the visitors were looking impatient.

When at last the waiter arrived with their first course, Fae politely tried to ask if the cafe was looking for staff.

"Ahh .. You are right. We are quite overwhelmed because now it's about to enter the tourist season, and two of our staff have just resigned. Sorry ... the food is taking a while," replied the waiter with regret.

"Oh, is that so? We're okay, really. I just want to ask about vacancies here. What are the requirements to apply as a staff here? I am interested in working part-time. If possible, during busy lunchtimes like this, I would love to help, "said Fae, smiling sweetly.

The girl who served them their dishes looked dumbfounded when she heard Fae's words. She did not expect that this beautiful girl that looked wealthy from head to toe was looking for a job.

"Are you serious?" she asked in a doubtful voice. The waiter was worried that she had misheard.

"I'm serious," answered Fae. "Where should I send my applications?"

"Wow, okay. I thought you were joking. Sorry.. Hmm.. this is our cafe's business card. You can open our website to know more about us and later send your applications to this email address. We will wait for your application."

"Great. Thank you very much." Fae accepted the card with a happy heart. 

She really liked this cafe. The design was beautiful, and the menu was the type of dishes that she also liked.. It would be nice if she could work here part-time.
