Tammy's POV
It was a gloomy Saturday morning, and grandpa was in the kitchen cooking my favorite breakfast- egg omelet, bacons and mushroom soup. I got up and went downstairs.
"Good morning pops! You're up early today" I greeted him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Well, I just wanted to make my little pumpkin her favorite breakfast before she leaves for LA. You know you won't be able to eat your favorite breakfast by then, because you'll be busy and you wont have time to cook for yourself." pops said with a little sadness in his eyes but was still able to suppress a smile.
"Oh pops! I'll only be away for a while. I will just go there for an interview, there's no assurance that I'll get the job, but I still wish I would get accepted." I hugged him.
"But why does it have to be so far pumpkin? Don't you like my cooking anymore?" pops said pouting his lips like a 4 year old.
"You know that you're the best cook to me. Hell I bet you can even beat the most highly paid chef in a 5 star hotel." I said to cheer him up a bit.
"I'm just teasing you pumpkin. I know you want that job so bad and I've seen how hard you've been doing just to get that job".
"I know pops. And besides, I want to be the one who will support you now, since all your life you've been working hard alone just to support and give everything I needed. It's my time to take care of you now. I don't want to see you coming home tired anymore, you're already too old for work." I teased him.
"Hey! Who said I was old? I can still run as fast as you you know" pops stood up his chair and acted all strong like superman.
"Okay okay, you're not old. You're just.... hmmm? how do I say it? aged man greater than 60?" I was now laughing like a maniac.
"Ouch! That didn't hurt at all." pops said in a sarcastic way while pretending to be hurt.
"You need to eat now so you won't be late on your flight. I'll just go get the car ready okay?" pops went out to the garage.
I finished my food and cleaned the dishes. I went to my room to prepare my things and get ready. After about 30 mins. I went downstairs all set.
------
The ride to the airport wasn't long, since it was only an hour away from our house.
"Okay pumpkin, we're here!" pops announced as he got out from the car to get my luggage.
"I'll only be staying there for a month. Don't forget to drink your meds, okay?" I reminded pops.
"I will pumpkin, don't worry too much about me." pops smiled and kissed me on the forehead.
"Bye pops! Take care of yourself for me. I'll call you as soon as I land LA." I waved goodbye as I went inside.
------
As soon as I arrived in LA, I called pops immediately to inform him I arrived safe and that I'll be taking a nap for awhile. I rented a small room just enough space for me to move, eat and sleep. Yeah no big deal. I'm not much of a choosy type of person. I also called Dory and informed about how amazing the place is and told her I miss her already. How I wish she was here. She always cheer me up whenever I feel stressed.
After 3 hours, I woke up and decided to have a little tour in the place for me to familiarize the surroundings. I got hungry and decided to buy something at a mini fast-food chain. I know! too much fast-food isn't good. But what can I do? I have nothing to cook at home, I haven't gone to buy some groceries yet. This is why I cannot blame pops for worrying too much about me. He knows me too well.
After eating, I started to walk around again and saw the huge and classy Grove's Hotel.
"So this is one of the Grove's Hotels?" I whispered to myself. I wonder how much money people would spent just to be able to stay at a classy hotel. Well, I bet only the elite people can afford. Even if I would sell our house in Texas, its still not enough for me to experience the life of "classy" people.
I was about to come inside the hotel to have a little look when I bumped my head into someone.
"Ow! watch where you're going!" I hissed rubbing my forehead.
"Watch where I'm going? Maybe you should be the one who should watch where you're going. You were blocking my way! Stupid!" the guy hissed back as well as rubbing his forehead.
"Now it's my fault? Who do you think you are? And as far as what my eyes could see, there is no name imprinted on the floor that says it's yours." I tried to control my temper because some people started to notice the commotion that we are having outside the hotel.
"Who do I think I am? Well well well my dear, you must be new here? Or you're just trying to pretend to be dumb to have your next rich guy victim and try to blind them with all your drama and get what you want?" the guy said smirking. Arrogant bastard!
I wasn't able to control my temper to the point that I didn't know what happened next. I heard the valet gasped. And that's when I knew that I had slapped the guy so hard that I could feel the pain in my hand. I thought I lost my hand. Damn! Is his face that hard?
"I guess I deserved that" the arrogant bastard said calmly and still had that stupid smirk on his face like nothing happened. I was confused for a moment.
"It must be rude of me not introducing myself. My name is Tyler Grove, CEO of Grove's Enterprise. Oh and by the way, you're standing in MY hotel" he announced confidently like it was a slap to my face.
And that was when I was able to process everything that happened in my stupid little brain. Grove's Enterprise, the company where I applied. Yeah! All the things that I said to pops came rushing back to me "I will just go there for an interview, there's no assurance that I'll get the job, but I still wish I would get accepted". Well expect nothing from it tammy, because there's already a 100% assurance that you'll be jobless for the rest of your life. My life is hopeless (face palm).
