Monza - {Lando Norris}

Chapter 6

The night drags on and it's only when I hear a squeaky voice from the front of the desk that I realise it's my time to leave "Sorry for being a bit late, I had to talk to Giuseppe" Her voice is breaking and her eyes are filled with tears "Greta,are you alright?" I don't know why I ask but I find myself doing it anyway "So I've been fired" She begins to hysterically cry and I stand up not knowing what to do "Um, do you want to talk about it?" I look at her and I can feel the tiredness practically oozing out of her, she begins to calm down a bit "Giuseppe texted me telling me to come in a bit earlier as he wanted to talk to me about something, so there I was getting up early. I thought I was getting a pay raise or even offered the supervisor role, I put so much effort into looking this good" Is she seriously talking about how she wasted all that time getting ready after getting fired, this girl "He said something that I'm unreliable even though I'm in here every day, yes I might be late sometimes but I'm a young woman, I want to enjoy my life and if that means going out and sleeping in then that's it, there's nothing I can do" As much as I sympathise with her, I can't help but to feel full of annoyance, she's late everyday which means I have to stay later than I'm meant to, she slacks, she ignores emails and phone calls leaving it all up to me, she leaves the desk a mess for me and last but not least she comes in still drunk everyday! "I don't know what to do Sofia, I begged for my job but he said that he's already found someone to replace me and something about you will be doing day shift from now on and this new person will be doing night shift... FUCK!" she shouts and the guests walking out look over at her in disgust, she runs her hands through her freshly straightened hair "Come on away from here Greta, go sit in the back office and calm down" She actually listens to me and wipes at her eyes before walking into the back office. I log myself out of my user and grab my stuff from the back office where Greta is sitting facing the wall with small weeps coming from her. I make sure I have everything belonging to me and walk towards the main office that belongs to Giuseppe, I knocked hard on the door and I'm met with a quick "Come in" I push the heavy door open and let it slam, he looks up from his computer "Hi Sofia, can I help with something?" I set my stuff down and then throw myself down into the chair sitting opposite his black desk "You fired Greta?" He takes his attention from his computer and puts his full focus onto me "Yes, I did. Currently I think it's the best thing for this company. She comes in nearly every day drunk and she's not abiding by the rules for the staff uniform, it wasn't an easy decision but I feel it's the best as I've already mentioned. With this though, I have now decided to put you on day shift and we have a new member coming in next week who will sit through the 2 months training and hopefully that will work out for us" I nibble at my lips "Why have you decided to put me on day shift, why not put the new member on day shift until they are trained up?" He rubs at his eyes and takes a quick sip of his coffee sitting on his desk "I would prefer you for day shift as then you will be dealing with more guests, I would like for you to try it out after Greta leaves, so today is Thursday and Greta will no longer be working here by Monday so that would mean her last day is Sunday. I'm not going to ask you to do day shift on Monday as that would mean you would be in here for 24 hours, so you will do the Sunday night shift and have Monday off and then you will be starting the day shift on Tuesday" There's a slight pause from him "And with regards of why I'm not putting the new member on day shift is since I believe in you and feel that day shift would suit you better, I see potential in you Sofia and in a couple months time if everything is still going smoothly, I would be happy to talk to you about the supervisor role if you're happy enough with that" I can't help but feel awful for Greta in this situation but I mention nothing else of it "Ok Giuseppe, thanks for talking to me about this" He smiles but his eyes look incredibly tired and as if there's no life behind them "Sofia, you should go home now and get your rest. Thanks for your work"  I spring up from the chair and without saying bye I pull open the door and once again it slams shut, I walk towards the door and as I walk out I glance back and see Greta dealing with customers, her face is covered with a smile but I can tell it's fake and her eyes are bored as she rhymes all the information off to the guests. 

Once again I find myself in my apartment and I take no time of removing the makeup that's on my face and putting on my fluffy pjs that I recently bought, I waste no time getting into the bed and getting snuggled up, in no time I'm nearly asleep but I find myself being pulled away from that feeling as my phone beeps, I pull it up and the brightness of the phone blinds me. It's a instagram notification, it can't be anything that important but still I find myself opening my phone to look at it

Sofia: Hi Lando, I know I just replied on instagram but here's my number as well :)

Lando: Thanks Sofia, look how cute it is, you double texting me, as much as I would love to talk to you, I think it would be wise if you got some sleep. You do have to get up in 6 hours, I'll see you soon x

With that, I double check that I've set my alarm for 10:30am I mean, I do have to make myself look good and I'll sacrifice  a couple extra hours in bed for that, I feel nervous about tomorrow but also excited and with that I find myself drifting back to sleep.
