Elvyra's Pov:
After leaving Lisa, I got my bicycle, mounted on it, and began to ride to my interview, but my bicycle suddenly felt much heavier to paddle.So,I quickly pulls over to the side of the road and inspect my tire, confirming that it is indeed flat. I let out a frustrated sigh, knowing that I do not have the time to spare for this inconvenience. However, I know that I cannot possibly continue on with a flat tire.Taking a deep breath, I begin to walk my bicycle towards the nearby mechanic shop. As I approache the shop I noticed a guy working on a car with his hands and face covered in engine oil.A mechanic, is bent over the engine of a luxurious Mercedes, grunting as he works.

A/n's Pov:ELVYRA: (breathing heavily) Excuse me! I have a flat tire on my bike, and I really need help. I’m late for a job interview!
Mechanic: (not looking up) Yeah? I’m kind of busy here with this Mercedes. Can’t help you right now.
ELVYRA: (frustrated) I get it, but this is urgent! It’s just a flat tire. It won’t take long!
Mechanic: (still rude) I’m not a bike mechanic, lady. Go find someone else.
ELVYRA: (glaring) Wow, what a stellar attitude for someone in customer service. Not everyone drives a fancy car, you know!
Mechanic: (shrugging) Not my problem.
ELVYRA: (stepping closer, voice rising) Maybe you should adjust that high horse you’re sitting on, because I’m not impressed. It’s a bicycle tire, not rocket science!
Mechanic: (smirking) Good luck with that.
ELVYRA: (scoffing) Keep pretending you’re important while your talent continues to rust!
Mechanic: (scoff) Whatever
As they were arguing, a considerably older man entered the shop.The dispute going on in the shop caught him off guard.The mechanic was asked by the older man.
"What exactly is going on here, Aurelio?"
Elvyra's Pov:
Aurelio, the moniker given to the nasty Mechanic, does not suit him.
"Nothing, uncle; I was simply repairing this Mercedes." Responded Aurelio
"Actually, sir, your man was impolite to me and argued with me rather than repairing my bicycle." I interrupted trying to get him back.
"Miss, I apologize for my employee's unpleasant behavior. If you're okay with it, he'll apologize and fix the bike without charging you." Said the old man while glaring at Tristan.
"What? I see no reason to apologize to this harlot." Aurelio said with an angry voice while glaring at me
"Oh well, you have to, because if not, you're fired." The old man spoke.
Aurelio widened his eyes, terrified of losing his job. "I apologize for my behavior, Miss; I was simply caught up in the momentum of the Mercedes and disrespected you." "I hope you'll forgive me. He spoke aggressively and looked down in humiliation.
"You're forgiven," I responded, grinning.
After he fixed the flat tire, I was back on my way to the interview, this time without any more delays.
As the interview came to a close, the manager announced. "Well, You're hired, but don't let me regret my decision."
"I won't let you down sir."
"Now, let's head to the kitchen. My chef will show you around, and then you can start washing dishes.
Yes, a dishwasher. But now that I have a job, I can make gradual improvement.
As he took me through the kitchen doors, I saw someone I wished to never see again.
"Aurelio, we have a new employee; show her around and get back to work after that," the manager remarked.
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no oh come on I can't have such an bad luck ,right?Aurelio leaned casually against the wall, a smirk dancing on his lips as he spotted Elvyra entering. "Well, well, well! Look who finally decided to be the dishwasher" he teased, crossing his arms.
Elvyra rolled her eyes, adjusting her new employee apron. "Aurelio, if you’re here to gloat, save your breath. I’m just here to wash dishes, not to relive our little bike mechanic mishap."
He chuckled, stepping closer. "Oh, come on! It’s not every day you report a stranger. I mean, I can still feel the adrenaline rush in my blood just for the revenge, just to see you defeated and embarrassed"
"You mean a rude, arrogant, egoistic stranger" she shot back, pretending to be unimpressed while a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "You think this dishwasher job is my punishment for the embarrassment you faced because of me?"
“It could be, you know Karma is a bitch” he replied, winking.
A/n's Pov:
While ELVYRA washed the dishes, the door was slammed open and a girl walked in with a heavily made-up, cakey face. She exuded a provocative vibe, wearing a dress that barely covered anything, and loosely holding the restaurant's uniform in her hand.
