Head pounding, I eased my way towards the bathroom.
There now, taking a look at myself. I gasped at the person looking back at me. And didn't like what I'd seen.
My hair was a mess, standing every which way. My clothes were disheveled. And worst of all my face without make up, tear stained.
I was an hot ass mess !!!!

" Girl you looking ugly today, " I told myself.
I think I should never drink again in my life. It's the worst, I needed to get something for this headache but really it's more like headsplitter.
" Why did I think that was such a good idea. "

Later on that day »
I was glad I was feeling better to actually open eyes. I decided I should get lunch out. I probably needed some fresh air.
So I got up, showered and dressed. And left my hotel room to find a good restaurant first then start my job hunt.
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
Finding work was harder than I expected. Maybe I should've tried looking online first. Instead I thought checking the vicinity from the hotel would work. And it didn't make it better that I chose to walk instead of drive.
My mind was telling me to be thifty but my body was screaming. What in the hell you doing to me. Let's just say I needed to exercise more. So I took an seat at nearby bench to catch my breath.
As I sat there, I told myself I needed to stop maybe try again tomorrow. Just then an flyer flew at my feet. So I picked it up, read it.
It read......
Tang's furniture store
..................... ..................... Sales person needed........ ..................
( author here * sorry dis lame excuse of an flyer. To explain it to you simple. This is all she saw. Because she's desperate for a job. )
Then I folded the paper up and put it my purse. Maybe it was some kind of scam to pull people into something dangerous. I mean who does flyers anymore. Or I could be thinking too much. I could check it out but only in the day time.
As I was thinking the worst about this, my phone to rang. Not my other one I turned that one off, I brought an new one. Because I knew I would need one if I was to start looking for employment. And didn't go outrageous with my choice, just got a simple phone to talk and text with.
That's all I needed for now always.
Catching it before it hung up. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard a woman asked " Hello is this Shayla Roberts ? "
" Yes. This is her. To whom am I speaking to ? " I asked.
" Um, I'm from B & B grocery store. And you came in this morning, filled out an application with us. So I was calling you to set up an interview if, when you're available. "
I was gonna say right now but my body was saying you better not. So I told her I'd like to come in tomorrow morning. And we set up an time before hanging up.
I couldn't be choosy right now, the phone call did come on time when I wasn't sure about going to that furniture store. And I should be happy that at least one place I applied at call me back. I have experience too so getting this job should be easy.
I hope.......

The next morning ~
I wore my best outfit to help land to this interview. And got in my car, to get there at the appointed time.
..................................
There now, I got out and walked in the place with confidence. And went over to the information desk, told someone I was here for an interview. She told me to wait a minute because the store manager named Angie was on the floor now, she'll back soon. So I took a seat in one of the chairs they had at the front of the store and waited.
..........................................
Some time passed because I checked my phone couple of times. Twenty minutes, I've been waiting for this woman called Angie. Didn't she remember that I was coming today or Did that other worker forget to tell her I was here ? I needed find out.
Just as I was about to get up, someone came up to stand before me.
" Are you Shayla Roberts for the interview? I'm Angie Carr, I'll be your interviewer " she said putting her hand out for me to shake.
..................................
When the interview was over, I walked out the store with gained employment. I was elated. This was an start until I could find something better. So I would work starting tomorrow. And do my best at it.

As I watched her leave the grocery store. I wondered why she didn't take notice of the flyer that I so conveniently sent her way. But she'll soon find out that taking this job wasn't the best decision to make..........
Well another chapter finished. I hope it wasn't too boring. But thanks for reading anyways. ❤
