It was a new and beautiful day. The sun was shining and Goldie just had a good feeling things were looking up. She entered Missy's shop and the wonderful smells assaulted her senses. She missed this about not working at Granny's Cakes. So, many wonderful memories can be brought to mind by smells.
Missy greeted her at the door and placed an arm around her. "I have to say, Goldie before another second goes by that I am so happy you're here and have chosen to work with me and I say with me because I want us to be partners in this, I know I'm your boss but I see great things for us."
Goldie was wondering where all this glowing praise was coming from. She loved it when it was deserved but she found when people just gushed like this they usually have an ulterior motive. So, she cut to the chase.
"Missy, what's up?"
Missy looked down and toyed with her apron. "I hired the part-time help we needed."
"That's great! Wow! It will be awesome to jump into things right away."
"I was hoping you would say that."
"How did you find someone so quickly?" Goldie asked. She would have preferred to be the one to interview this new person as she will be the one working directly with them but she got along with most people so she really didn't think it would be a huge problem.
"Well, about that...it's my brother. He's had a rough time of things lately and he was hoping to get some new business here in Chicago but he's had a bit of a bumpy start. This is only temporary to get some money up so he can get his own place as he just recently moved back."
Goldie smiled, "No worries, Missy. If he's anything like you, I know we'll get along."
"Hey, Missy where do you want your mixing things once I've got them all washed?"
Bear's eyes rolled to the back of his head, "Why do you keep showing up? You're like a bad penny, or is it just my luck?"
Missy cringed... perhaps she should have prepared Bear to see Goldie again so he would be on his best behavior, but her priority was making sure Goldie wouldn't want to leave after finding out she hired her brother. Truth be known, Bear could have gotten a job elsewhere and easily, but she had a plan and pretty much guilted him into it.
Goldie ignored his statement and turned back to Missy. Missy was surprised by the look of excitement in her eyes. "I'm still manager right?"
"Yes," Missy said, cautiously.
"And he's the part-time help, correct?" Goldie asked.
"Uh-huh."
Goldie had the biggest smile on her face and the 1,000-watt smile was turned on Bear but she continued to talk to Missy as she asked, "Just so that I'm clear that means I'm HIS boss, right?"
