Chocolate Dreams

Part 3

“If I will work like this, I won’t need to worry about my weight…I won’t even get enough money to buy food. The last client knocked on my door 3 days ago. 3 DAYS AGO! And even he made a mistake; he wanted to see Mister Perfect. I guess these days’ people only earn on people’s unhappiness than happiness.”

Hanna: Hey [Y/N]. Can you please go sit behind my work table and wait for some clients? I have to go get some photos from James. Tell the clients that James will come soon and I will be back in no time…so…there’s no problem. Kiss, kiss *kiss* Thank you. You’re such a sweetheart. Bye! *leaves*

You: Okay…

“Who is actually Mister Perfect? I don’t know anything about him. Is he single, divorced, does he lives alone or with his mother? Let’s see”

You open his laptop and start searching if he has some photos or something like that. Then you open his trays and look for some documents.

Woman: Hello.

You: H-hello? Is it already 10am?

Woman: Well…we agreed to meet at 10am or not?

You: Y-yes, but….

Woman: I’m always on time! *smile* I’m ever too late or too early.

Man: Stephanie, can’t we talk about this again at home?

Stephanie: I don’t have time for talking. Plus; if we go home, you will sit on the couch and watch TV, like always! You are doing this for the last 40 years!

Stephanie and Phillip are old married couples that are here to see James for the divorce.

 Stephanie: Please tell me, how we can fix this problem in the most elegant way.

You: Well…What’s the problem?

Phillip: Excusably; there is no problem.

Stephanie: No problem?! There is no problem?! Of course there is a problem! I was waiting for him at home my whole life! My whole life, because this mister here, had such a important job. ‘The train can’t wait’, but I could wait, or what? I was cleaning; doing lingerie, cook, driving children to school…I was doing all this alone. EVERTHING! And now; that he is retired, when all the kids have their own house, now that we could start enjoying our life…Now that mister here has no interest of doing anything! He only sits at home on the couch and watches TV. He doesn’t even want to go out of the house! I won’t even start talking about a trip or something!

Phillip: Stephanie, please listen…

Stephanie: No! I listened too much to you! I went to the theater alone, to opera alone! Now I decided that things won’t be like this anymore!

“I really feel sorry for this man. He was working his whole life and now he will stay all alone in his old years.”

You: Did you ever have a job, Mrs.?

Stephanie: What job? What are you talking about? When did I have time for a job?! I was at home my whole life! My whole life! But there is no way that I will wait for my death like this!

James: Hello.

“That’s the only thing that was missing here!”

You: Hey *smile awkward* I thought…you know…Hanna said…and…I…ammm…Hanna asked me if I could…

James: Be a lawyer for few hours? *smile*

I just wanted to help, okay?!

James walks to your side of the desk and smiles at you the whole time.
