Hello! Since I have to attend something tomorrow night, here's a one day early update! 

And because I love you all, here's a really long chapter (word length equivalent to around 2-3 chapters) 

and P.S. this chapter is... pretty relevant... 

Meet the new characters:

Connor Franta as Connor (Connor Franta is gay, yes, but let's pretend Connor in this story is not and never will be)

Ian Somerhalder as Tyrone (Oohhh Jessamine is going to meet a hot vampire? )

Just kidding,

Spoiler: Tyrone is not a vampire.

Recap of Chapter Two:

Throughout my walk to the HR room, my eyes were fixed on Finn. He was frowning the moment when I was almost at the HR room. I hated this! Why wouldn't the HR just call me later on? Why now? Why now when Finn was the customer? Why!?

Chapter Three: Don't worry. We'll settle this with a game of truth or dare.

With ultimate disappointment, I slowly knocked on the HR door. Before he even told me to enter, I barged in. Mr. Gerner's face was not pleased in any way, but still he kept a straight face. He removed his glasses and carefully rubbed his eyes.

Even without any command, I sat down, hoping he would respond immediately. I needed to take things fast, in case Finn might wait for me.

"You should know why I called you here." Mr. Gerner's first statement didn't resemble any good news.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gerner. It's actually not my fault that-"

He startled me by slamming his palm on the table.

"Your performance affects greatly on the outcome of the business, even if you're only a part time pesky cashier."

If it wasn't my need of money was too damn high, I would ball up my fist and punched the hell out of him. Surely it might partly be my fault for causing such commotion, but he had no right to call this job of mine as a pesky cashier.

Without sincerity, I twitched my lip and uttered. "Sorry sir. I promise to not interfere with customers anymore."

Mr. Gerner remained strict. "Alright. This serves as a warning. Double warning and you're fired."

"Right." I swallowed hard and went out of his room.

My eyes immediately went hungry for Finn, so I scanned the whole coffee shop. My heart ached so much when he wasn't present anymore. He didn't bother waiting for me. He just left... It's difficult for me to work now, but still I got to.

"Hey Lolita, you can now go." She nodded and let me handle the cashier again. With gloomy voice, I greeted the next customer, but he didn't mind. I could feel my vision grew blurry, but I just forcefully dug my nails on my palm, to feel external pain defeating the internal pain.

After the customer left, I winced in pain. Two hours had passed and finally, I was done with the freakin' job of mine. I got paid and then I bought Brie a chocolate shake and a blueberry cake. I stopped by a fast food restaurant and bought myself dinner.
