I woke up from the sound of my alarm. I would have to go back to work, although we needed money, I couldn't help but complain.

"Heizou! Kazuha! Get up! We have to get ready." I nudged at both of them

"H-huh? Ready for what? " Heizou yawned

"...work..?" I angrily groaned

"What? I'm on break?" Heizou mumbled

"Then get another job in the meantime.. you know we need the money." I shouted as I tried to wake up Kazuha

"Oh. Good morning, scara?" Kazuha sat up, rubbing his eyes

"Get ready." I sighed, getting up

"Ready for wha-"

"HEIZOU EXPLAIN!" I shouted as I ran downstairs.

I got into my car and started to drive towards Starbucks.

I walked inside and saw Mona at the front counter. It was kinda awkward between us after our "incident"
I wasn't expecting her to talk to me or anything, and I bet she didn't want to talk to me either, but she makes way more money than me and we work at the same place. I needed to ask her.

"Hey.. Mona. Random question, but how do you make more money than any of us working here." I awkwardly smiled

"Huh? Oh.. um, I don't know.." Mona shrugged

"Okay.. haha.." I slowly backed away

That's when I saw our boss

"Scaramouche! Long time no see, am I right!?" He laughed and gripped onto my shoulder.

"Uhm.. yea, I guess you could say that." I slightly grinned

"I was wondering if maybe you'd want to do an extra shift..? I haven't found the right person to do it, but you get paid extra! I know how you are with money so.. what do you say?"

"W-wait, really? Yes! I can start today if that's fine with you!" I smiled

My boss walked into his office "Yea of course! Here's the list of tasks, make sure it gets done!"

"Thank you, sir!" I grabbed the list and
started doing all the extra tasks. The bathroom was the worst part..

*time skip*

"Boss! I'm done with all the tasks!" I rushed towards my boss's office, bumping into Mona

"O..oh, sorry Mona," I mumbled

"Uhm.. yea.. It's alright." Mona awkwardly shrugged.

"So.. how's your day going?" I asked

"Scaramouche.. it's 11:43 PM.." Mona covered her eyes with her hands

"Uhm.." I looked around

Mona walked away, and so did I. As I walked away from her, I entered my boss's office.

"Boss, I finished all the tasks." I yawned.

"Really!? Well damn! I appreciate it! Have a great rest of your night." My boss laughed

"Haha yea you too! So where's the money?" I asked

"Uhm.. what money..?" My boss looked at me confused.

"Wha.. what do you mean what money? Why do you think I did the tasks.. you said you'd pay me extr-"

"Woah, woah, woah, calm down there, buddy. I never said shit." My boss looked me up and down.

"What.. give me the money, man?!" I shouted

"Hey! Don't raise your voice at me. In fact, you're fired!"
