Nixie:

I was eating my chips while watching Scooby Doo when suddenly an email popped up on my laptop. Louis was in the bathroom taking a shower. I grabbed my laptop and placed it on my lap before opening up the email. I've been accepted for the job at the perfume shop. I completely fot about that job application and interview. And not only have I been hired, they want me to be there today for my first day of training at four o'clock, which is exactly forty minutes from now.

The reason why I applied for a job, other than making some savings, was to find something to do to keep me busy and distracted instead of being home all the time.  

I quickly set my laptop aside and rushed towards the other bathroom. I took a shower before changing and getting ready. I was putting my shoes on when Louis stepped out of the bathroom. 

"Where are you going?" he asked curiously. 

"I got the job at the perfume shop" I told him. 

"Really? Congratulations, babe" he said while smiling. 

"Thank you" I said before grabbing my bag. "Wish me luck" I said, giving him a kiss before heading out. 

Once I got in the car, I started driving towards the mall, brushing my fingers through my hair a couple of times to make sure it was okay. I found an empty parking spot before stepping into the mall, searching around for the perfume shop. 

As soon as I found the shop, I stepped inside. The smell of all different types of perfumes hit my nostrils. I took a deep breath before walking up towards the lady standing behind the front counter. She glanced up at me. "Nixie?" she asked. 

"That's me" I told her while smiling. 

"First and last time you get here late" she said in a stern tone, not even smiling once. 

"It will be, I promise" I told her. 

"Go put on your uniform and we'll get started right away" she said while handing me a uniform.

"Thank you" I said before making my way around the back and quickly changing.

"Come try our new samples, you will love them" I called out towards the customers while holding out little samples. 

A man walked into the store while grinning. 

"Hey" he winked at me. 

He looked about twice my age. 

"Welcome to Fragance. How may I help you today?" I asked him with a welcoming smile, just like the manager showed me earlier. 

"I want a perfume that smells really good, like you" he said, clearly flirting with me. 

I ignored his comment and searched around for a perfume. "Is it for a woman?" I asked him. 

"Sure" he nodded with a smirk, staring down at my body, which was starting to make me feel uncomfortable. 

"I recommend this one" I said while handing him a perfume.
