7 Please Mr. Manager

WHAT?!!! There's a ten percent interest rate for each week I don't pay. This must be a joke, it has to be. All this for a suit. Who would buy an $800,000 (USD) suit? Men's suits all look the same to me. How was I going to make that type of money in such a short amount of time, working at that cafe? I guess I'll have to find a second job. Clutching my purse, I decided that I should visit the cafe before heading to Emilia's house.

When I walked in, I immediately started to walk to the workers area, when someone said, "excuse me ma'am you can't go back there, it's for employees only."

"Huh?," I said turning around.

It was Logan, "oh snap Mina, I didn't know it was you. You look different."

"Thanks... I guess. Anyways, is the manager here?," I asked.

"Oh yeah he's back there doing some paperwork, but I think it okay to go in," said Logan.

"Okay, thank you," I replied

"Oh and Mina one more thing, you should always dress like this, you look way better now, I think might start developing a thing for you" said Logan, grinning and giving me the thumbs up.

I knew, even though he was joking with me, half of what he said had been true, I do look better. But, this didn't feel like me inside.

Walking inside the work area, I knocked on the managers' door. "Come in" he hollered.

The manager was an older man with black hair that had already developed streaks of gray, who claimed to be in his mid-40's.

"Good afternoon, boss." I said.

"Oh Mina, I didn't expect to see you come in today," he said.

"Oh I know, that I'm not on the clock today but I was wanting to apologize for my actions yesterday," I said.

"Oh for quitting? It was all of a sudden, but I get you youngsters are always looking for the next best things. I just didn't expect you to run off while on the clock," he said.

"Quit? I didn't quit, although I am sorry for walking off the clock, I was having an emergency. I can bring my hospital reports to confirm it," I stated.

He looked confused, "you didn't quit?" I shook my head no.

"Well, after you left yesterday, your sister came into the cafe, saying that you quit and wasn't coming back, so I removed your name from the schedule."

My sister, ugh Claire, why would you do this to me? You stole my boyfriend and now you get me fired.

I really need this job.

"Um Mr.Manager, I assure you that I had no clue that my sister informed you about this, but I would like to have my job back. I enjoy working here. Is there anything I can do?," at this point I was most likely stammering with my words.

The Manager starts thinking to himself, then looks back at me and says, "okay, Mina, I don't usually do this, but, for you I think we can work something out." Great!
