The Job Hunt

Chapter 9: The Envelope

"I'm sorry guys but I am forced to fire you."

"What?!" I blurted out.

"Yes, I know and it pains me to but I can't keep you anymore." The manager of the dog shelter said with a sad smile.

"But-but we did everything correctly! We were perfect!" I say loudly causing the dogs in the back to bark through the door. "Oops, sorry." I cringed.

"Well I checked the security cameras last night and I saw some things," She replied flipping through a stack of papers in her hand, " it says here that on Monday your friend, Brent, spilled dog food on himself. On Wednesday, you got the entire place wet because you didn't dry the dogs after you bathed them. On Thursday, you and your friends had a dog toy fight. And finally, yesterday you used spam as dog food."

"I mean the container looks like dog food." I mutter defensively.

"I'm sorry honey, but those actions are unacceptable here. On the bright side, however, I'll give you your paychecks today." She said handing me a large envelope.

"Thank you for giving us all an opportunity to work here. It was fun working with the dogs." I answer sincerely grabbing the envelope and tucking it in my purse.

I walked outside and took a deep breath. Ok Dani, it's going to be fine. You'll just have to find another job. I started walking down the street deep in my thoughts until I bumped into a hard body. And of course me, being the most graceful creature ever, smashed my nose against their chest and fell down on my butt, scraping my arm in the process.

"You should really watch where you're going."

I look up to apologize but instead I meet face to face with none other than Harry Styles.

Haha, just kidding. I wish.

No, instead it turned out to be Richard.

"Oops." I mumble as I get up and try to walk away. He blocks my way and smirks at me.

"Oh, not even an apology?"

I roll my eyes. Now is not the time to be talking to him right now. I need to get to Pix and Brent.

"I deeply apologize for ramming into your overly large chest. Now please, I have somewhere to go."

"Is that so?" He says daringly.

"Yes."

Not expecting a dull response, he looks at me strangely. "Are you okay?" He asks suspiciously.

"I'm fine." I snap speed walking away. He doesn't follow me and I end up home in no time.

Opening the door, I see Pix sitting on the couch reading a book with headphones on. "Hey" she greets me.

"Where's Brent?" I ask.

"He went to the store to buy food for dinner today." She answers not looking up from her novel.

I nod and go to my room. I take a deep breath and let it out harshly as I fall back on my bed. I kick my shoes off and wiggle under my covers. I open up my purse and take out the envelope, setting it aside on my night table. I stare at the wall for who knows how long but ended up falling asleep.
