Life In The Big Apple

The show must go on

Stef's: POV
We've been down at tasty treats for several hours
Cleaning up Gearld's mess. After calling around for a contractor to replace Gearld, l got Tony coming in
to help us out this shit Gearld left us with
I'm hoping we can get take things in a timely manner
Lena hasn't come back yet. This is very unprofessional
Gearld won't be paid for his absence, his workers have stepped up to the plate and help out of bine, Mark pulls up in his pick up truck with the paint. While Lena's at the spa getting pampered, Mark comes with too big gallons of paint. Can I have everyone's attention for a moment please, as you know Gearld is not here. So I have another contractor coming in to help out, you guys are still going to be paid for your time. Stef says to the five remaining workers, a tall man came in looking for Stef. Hi I'm Tony
You must be Stefanie Tony, it's Stef actually she shakes Tony's hand. It's nice to meet you, let me give you a tour and tell you what we need to done. Stef says to Tony
They head towards the back, Stef explains to Tony
About wanting shelves. Tony takes down a few notes in his notebook, Tony looks around the room. So he can see what he's working with, Stef is hoping they pulled off without any issues. Tony goes and takes some measurements, Tony can you give me a time frame
When everything will be finished. Stef asks,
I'll have this place done within a month. When do you want me to start working, Tony asked. Stef thinks for a minute before responding. Would today be to soon for you to start, Stef asks Tony. alright l need to go to home Depot and pick up some supplies if l'm gonna go start this soon, Tony states. I will be here when you return Stef
Just realized that they haven't discussed how much Tony's
Gonna charge for labor. I have one problem resolved
Stef says to herself, she goes to see how things are coming along with the crew painting the wall up front. Stef sees the wall that mark is painting black, and l head to the kitchen to check out things. Anthony is doing the back eggshell white, l'm just glad we were able to pull this off
Gearld won't seeing non a single sense. If l have anything to do with it, he left a job without even giving us notice
Gearld better not think for a second. He's going to be paid
He can't just pick up and leave whenever he wants to
Apparently Gearld has no respect for Lena or myself
And our business, this is unacceptable behavior
