The plan

Chapter 1- Fired?

Aspen's POV:

"Wait, why am I being fired?" I ask my boss.
"We just don't need you anymore, we have plenty of other staff." He says.
I huff, and walk to my desk to gather all of my things.

I worked at the bank as a receptionist.

When I'm packing all of my things, I hear voices coming from down the hall.
I look down the hall, and see my boss and one of my coworkers, talking to each other.
I didn't plan on eavesdropping, until I heard my name.

"So why did you really fire her?" an employee asks.
"I fired Aspen because of the money. We'll be saving a lot more if we let her go." He says while chuckling to himself.

Normally, I would go over and defend myself. But I really need my boss as a recommendation.

I grab my stuff, and quickly head to his office.
"Hey." I say as I walk in.
"What do you need, Aspen?" He says with a smile on his face.
"My letter of recommendation, please." I say to him.
"Yes, of course." He says while grabbing the paper and handing it to me.
I don't bother to say 'thank you' , so I just walk out of the office.

I walk past Audrey and her friends, May and Lauren.
Audrey and I never got along. She always had this hatred towards me, and I don't know why.

"About time they fired you." Audrey said while smirking to me.

I walk to the door, and turn around and look at all three of them.
"Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too." I say pointing to each of them.
They all huff and roll their eyes, while I turn and walk out.

I get a taxi, and get dropped off at my apartment.
My parents bought the apartment for me, but I've been managing to pay all the bills with graduation money, and the money I earned at work.

I put all of my stuff on the table, and my phone starts ringing. It's my best friend, Anna.
"Hey, what are you up to?" Anna says.
"Well, I just got fired and now have barley any money." I say back.
She's silent for a while before answering,
"Wow, wasn't expecting that. I'll be over in a couple of minutes." She then hangs up.

Anna also lives in this apartment complex, which is awesome.

I quickly change into my pajamas, and soon Anna walks in my apartment.
One time I asked her why she never knocked, and she responded with,
"Best friends don't knock."

"I'm sorry about you're job. Why did they fire you anyway?" She asks. I tell her everything, including my eavesdropping.
"Those jerks!" She yells.
"I don't know what job I'm going to get now. I need one that doesn't interfere with college though." I say.

I grab the newspaper that was lying on my table, and she grabs one too.
A couple of minutes have passed by, and I haven't found any.

"Did you find anything?" I ask her.
"Actually, I found a couple." She said.
"What are they?"
"Well there's a dog walker." She says.
"Eh, not my kind of job."
"A tutor is needed at a high school." She says.
"That would interfere with college." I respond.

She scans more job offers,
"What about a personal assistant?" She asks.
I consider it a moment,
"Yeah, that sounds good actually. Who's assistant would I be?" I ask.
She scans the offer again,
"Mr. Johnson. You'll be his assistant at the hotel down the road from us." She says.
"Woah. That hotel is huge, and very fancy. Should I call and schedule an meeting for the job?" I ask.
"Duh! Here's the number." She says while handing me the paper.

I go in the other room and call them.
After I talk to someone who works there, I hang up and walk towards Anna.

"Guess who has a job interview!"
