While everyone was enjoying their coffee, there was a girl who was working hard every day in that place too. A person open a silver door with one of his leg or we can say he kick the door and come with so many plates and many glasses he throw everything beside the girl and go out without say something. The girl stop and let out a heavy sigh..
"He got so many customers, he must give me more payment or i will curse these people who treating me like a trash.." she continue clean all the plates and glasses
Brakkk!!
Again and again someone kick the door again that make the girl shock and accidentally a plate on her hand fall down and split into 3 pieces, she gasp holding her chest. The person who come is her boss and the timing it's really perfect to get fired. The boss angry to her and the girl keep say sorry and bow to him but he ignore her and tell that she will not be paid for this month.
"Please mr park... i..need..that..money..." she beg to him
"DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID TO YOU MISS CHOI? YOU BROKE THAT EXPENSIVE PLATE EVEN YOUR SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH SO BE THANKFUL I ONLY NOT PAY YOU THIS MONTH!"
"B..but mr yang.. i need the money for.."
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR POOR LIFE!!" He go out from that room but before he close the door, he say something
" ONE MORE THING. A CUSTOMER COMPLAIN ME BECAUSE THE GLASS THAT YOU WASH STILL DIRTY! YOU BETTER USING YOUR EYES CORECCTLY!"
"I..m..sorry..sir.."
That always happen in jieun life. Never someone care about her except her mom. People hate her and never want to talk with her, actually she doesn't care about it the most important for her is money that can make her still alive until now.
