My face lights up a bright red. I knew I look presentable, but I didn't feel like it. My shoulders begin to slouch. 

"ah, there he is, the boy I've heard so much about. What was the name? Kaname?" 

Mr. Cypress says with a sly, mischievous grin forming on his face. 

"y-yes sir. I'm Kaname. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cypress." I say, not wanting to make eye contact with him.

 His smirk forms into a smile.

 "Your right Hotah, he does have the perfect shape... I like him. Hey Kaname, after supper, I would love to have some alone time with you to give you the offer of a lifetime." 

he says, then walking away, towards the dining area. Madoke looks at me, smiling, "be happy, ok? You might love the job." 

I nod, and I then follow madoke and Hotah to the dining area. 

They sit on one side of the table, and Mr. Cypress and I were on the other side. Hotah prepared sushi and sashimi for dinner. Sushi was my favorite. 

(picture at the beginning is their dinner). 

After dinner, Mr cypress helps clean up while Hotah and Madoke go into the other room to relax. 

"So Kaname, why do you work at a convenience store instead of a better job like an office?" 

He says, scrubbing a tray. "u-um its because... I'm... I'm homeless, I live on the streets, and I felt like working at a convenience store was the only option. So I applied there and became good friends with madoke since he's the boss." 


*FLASHBACK*

As I stand up, I look down, and I close my eyes, putting my hands together to pray as I think, then I whisper, 

"Dear Lord, I thank you for the job opportunities that have come my way. I pray that this interview will go smoothly. Please help me to showcase my unique talents and experience when I answer the questions asked. I pray that I will have your favorite among the other applicants if this job is right for me. Even if this job interview doesn't work out, I'm still trusting you to provide the right job. You are my provider, and you know what I need more than I do. In your name, I pray. Amen."

 I then look back up, and I begin my walk to the store. 

My mind and heart were racing. I soon arrive at the store, and I pull out my phone, going straight to my messages. 

"I'm here for the interview."

"don't worry about, the only worker I had stormed out saying I quit so because I'm desperate, I'm going to give you my trust and say, you are hired, ok?" -Store's manager

I smile, and I enter the store, smiling, "thank you very much, sir, I am very grateful for you allowing me to work here under you."

He smiles, "no problem, besides I needed a worker, plus you seem capable for the job, oh and you start today, I will have your custom badge ready for you tomorrow. But for now, here"s your apron, get busy stocking shelves and cleaning up, if someone comes in, I'll take care of that till I can teach you how to work the thing."

He says, and I nod, quickly get to work. Soon, after a few days, we became good friends.

*END OF FLASHBACK*


Mr. Cypress looks at me, well, as a side job, would you like to come work at my office as my secretary?" 

My jaw drops as my heart beats and my mind races. "what...."
