My jaw dropped. I couldn't speak, I was speechless. "I-I-I don't know w-what to say," I stuttered.
"Your my best employee and I wouldn't want to loose you," he said, "It would be a shame if you quit. I don't want to put any pressure on you, you do what's right."
I just looked at him and said, "okay," I paused for a while as a tear ran down my face, "I'll do it."
I got out of my chair and grabbed the door handle.
"Wait Jane," I got stopped by Jamie.
I turned around, "yes," I ask.
"Tell the girls there's a family meeting, and don't tell them what's it's about."
"Okay," I walked out the door.

"Jane, are you okay?" Asked Allison.
"Yeah I'm fine," I say as I wipe my tear off my face, "there's a family meeting right now tell everybody please."
Allison was scattering all over the place telling all the girls while I ran to the bathroom crying uncontrollably. I'm having an anxiety attack. My chest was pounding so hard and I could barely breath.
It's been a long time since I've had an anxiety attack because I stopped taking my medication.
A man walked into the bathroom and startled me. I was about to shoo him away when I realized I was in the customer bathroom.
He was so cute. He had dark brown hair that fell perfectly into place, it was naturally messy. His light blue eyes made my heart melt. He had facial hair but not too much, it wrapped around each of his sides of his face. He was wearing a white tank top with a red flannel button up shirt, blue jeans and some boots. He looked so perfect.
"I am so sorry I will leave," I said while blushing.
"No stay it doesn't matter I don't even have to go, like I mean," he tried to get his words out but he sounded way to nervous to speak, "I was washing my hand because like," he paused, "I'm Lucas." He sounded too cute, I could tell he was nervous talking to me and his ascent was so southern it was sexy.
"Hi Lucas, sorry I forgot I was in the customer bathroom I'll just leave," I said really quickly.
When I tried to walk out of the bathroom he gently grabbed my arm. I looked up at him quickly as he asked, "Are you okay?"
I tried to say yes that I was fine, but I couldn't . "No I'm not okay, I can't do this anymore." I couldn't believe I started to talk about my problems with a complete stranger.
"What's going on?" He asked. "By the way I didn't catch your name?"
"My name is..." I tried to say but I was interrupted when Allison bursted in.
"Come on family meeting."
"I'll come in a while, I already know what it's about."
"Okay," she said. She walked away.
"Who was that?" He asked.
"A stripper," I said, "I have to go but thank you for being here for these brief seconds." I started walking out when he interrupted me.
"Here," he said. He took out a pen and wrote his number on my arm. "Call me, please?"
