Rose's POV

I laid on my bed the night I quit and thought about the decision I made. I laid there for a good hour before I heard my phone.

The screen buffered and kept disconnecting. I check my WiFi to check if it was the reason but i had all five bars. Soon, it connected and my screen showed a guy sitting on his bed, shirtless.

"Would it kill you to put a shirt on?" I said.

"Is my lack of clothing distracting you from this gorgeous face?" he said while stroking his chin.

"Uh, no. It's disturbing. Don't get too cocky, now." he chuckled.

"So, what's bothering you? I can tell by the tone of your voice that you're not only sad about your ex-boss."

I took a deep breath and shook my head, "Everything's fine."

"Stop lying. Tell me the truth."

"Alright, I guess I'm uncertain if I could...trust you and your brother. I'm scared that I'll be jobless forever, ya know?"

He sighed and said, "What can I do to make you trust my family?"

"I don't know."

"How about, you come over to my house tomorrow? I already told my father about a new employee I was going to hire to help us out with the Jonas'."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"You're the new employee, silly."

I raised my eyebrow in confusion. He raised his eyebrow too. I opened my mouth to create an 'o' shape and he did the same. Great, now he's mimicking me.

"Will you stop that!" I softly yelled.

"Will you stop that!" he mimick.
