I am greeted by Roxy as I enter the lingerie section of Myer.
“Morning Harmony.” She beams leading me towards the employee’s bag room.
“Morning Roxy.” I smile as I place all my things down.
“Today I would like you to work with Lea. She’s another employee which works in this section.” She smiles beckoning me to follow her towards the counter.
“Oh, okay.” I smile. I rather work with Roxy because I am familiar with her but it will be nice to meet another person.
I follow behind Roxy until we reach the counter where a girl around my age stands. She is absolutely beautiful. Her long dark curly hair falls down her chest and a small black headband rests in her hair. Her makeup is done to perfection and seems to look a lot like mine. She is wearing a cute white lace dress and black heals.
“This is Lea.” Roxy points towards the gorgeous girl and a smile grows across her face.
“Hi, I’m Harmony.” I smile fiddling with my fingers.
“Hey Harmony, I’m lea.” She smiles back sticking her hand out. Another handshake. I stick my hand out to shake her hand and she has a very strong handshake.
“Nice to meet you.” I beam before pulling my hand away from her well-manicured hand.
“Well I will be off, I have some work do to.” Roxy smiles before leaving Lea and I alone.
“We will just be working at the counter and re-stacking some shelves today.” Lea tells me and I nod my head while she talks.
“It’s not that busy today.” I comment looking around the store. Only one or two people are walking around shopping which is a change for this busy store.
“Less work for us.” She says and I smile over at her. She seems like a really nice girl and relaxed just like me.
“So tell me about yourself.” She smiles as she leans her back against the counter crossing her arms over her chest. I follow her actions and do the same against the bench opposite her.
“Umm, well there's not much to tell.” I laugh nervously. “I’m 20 years old, I live in my own apartment by myself. I only just moved there a month ago so I practically know no one around here. My mum and dad live just under an hour away and yeah that’s pretty much it.” I say trying not to give all of my personal information away. I don’t usually like to open up to people unless I truly know them.
“Oh girl, I’m going to have to show you around this beautiful city!” She laughs.
“I will take you up on that offer.” I smile. It would be nice to go out with someone and see all around this area.
“Definitely! I will give you my number before we finish work alright?” She smiles and I nod my head.
“Alright, tell me about yourself.” I tell her wanting to know about the girl I just told about my life.
“Well I’m 21, I live in my own apartment as well with my boyfriend Jack. I have lived in Melbourne my whole life so I pretty much know everyone around here. I have 2 older brothers who are super protective and my mum and dad live just out of the city.” She confesses and I smile.
“That’s cool as.” I smile not really knowing what to reply. I can sometimes get awkward in situations like these.
“Yeah, I guess it is.” She smiles and a cough is heard behind her.
“Oh, sorry Miss. How may I help you?” She smiles and her professional voice kicks in instantly.
“Can I please get these?” She asks placing a pair of matching underwear onto the counter.
