"I cannot pay for all the damages now," Graycen sighed, "I have a baby on the way. I can't worry about that right now."

The property manager nodded, "I understand, we understand that. We'll just take this money that you gave us to fix the glass from the outside."

"Okay," Graycen nodded slowly, "how much would it be if I decided to close down my shop?" Graycen wasn't motivated anymore or at least not at the moment.

"You already paid off the store so it won't cost anything," the manager informed her, "however, you have to clean out the shop. What's your approach to that?"

Graycen thought for a second, "I'm going to sell the equipment I have "

"Are you sure?"

Graycen nodded, "Yeah, I am sure. I'm not ready for a shop right now."

"Okay," the manager jotted everything down in his notepad, "do you have a specific date you're closing down the shop? I mean I know you told your employees that everything was going to be indefinite."

"I'll email them about my decision and hand them their last paychecks. About everything else I'm unsure."

"Good, do you want me to take care of selling and cleaning out the shop?"

Graycen hummed as she gathered her belongings, "I'll call you tomorrow with my answer. I need to think about that."

"Alright, I guess that sums up everything."

"Thank you," Graycen stood up from her seat and grabbed her purse, "have a nice day, sir."

"So you're closing down the shop?"

Graycen took a sip of her sweetened tea, "Yeah, I mean I don't want to worry about it right now. I already emailed all the employees about it, I feel terrible. I mailed them all their paychecks as well, I'm broke as hell now."

"I mean that's understandable," Taylor said with a smile, "I'm here to stick with you forever, y' know?"

"I can't ever forget that, sis."
