Chapter Seventeen

The grooming salon was exceptionally busy and I swear my boss is punishing me for taking the weekend off. Dog after dog, cat after cat with little to no breaks in between as if there was some sort of pet convention happening tomorrow. My boss yells out at me from her office to move faster as if I can control the hyperactive Pomeranian puppy that's overly excited to get its hair blown dry. Turning my head away from her view to grab the comb, I scrunch up my face and mock her shrill voice still echoing inside of my mind.

I can't wait for school to start back next week! I'd much rather deal with my professors and homework than this bitch all day. At least I'll be able to quit once I finish school, having already secured a job at Robyn's father's veterinary clinic.

"Destiny, hurry up with that Pomeranian! There's a bulldog that still needs a bath, blow dry and nail trim before you go to lunch." My fat ass boss says as she leans against her office door frame, munching on a Little Debbie snack cake.

"I'm almost finished!" I yell out and turn my head to give her a tight-lipped smile while trying my best not to curse her out.

She rolls her eyes and slams the door shut making me and my co-worker, Jeff, both jump at the sound.

"She really wasn't happy about you taking a weekend off like that." Jeff whispers as he pretends he's not holding a conversation with me, keeping his eyes glued to the Corgi he's brushing out. At least his dog seems to be relaxed.

"Well, she's just going to have to get over it. It was the first weekend I requested off in like two months." I huff.

He turns his attention to the front door when he hears the doorbell chime and prepares to greet the next customer cheerfully. All while I do my best to hide my expression, annoyed with how busy we are.

"Welcome to Pawssionate About Pets Grooming Salon. Are you here to pick up your fur baby?" Jeff's upbeat personality is like nails on a chalkboard right now.

"Hi. No, I'm here to see that beautiful girl."

The sound of Jungkook's voice makes my eyes widen as I shut off the blow dryer and turn to meet his smiling face with my worried one. If my boss sees me fraternizing with what she would surely assume to be a customer, she'd definitely make my day even more of a living hell.

"Hey babe." I try to nonchalantly say, doing my best to not make a scene, "What brings you here?"

"Isn't it your lunch time? Thought we could go get something together." He smiles proudly at me until he sees me trying to gesture with my eyes towards my boss's office and his grin slowly fades away.

Jeff leans over the counter with a pamphlet as if Kookie is a customer inquiring about our services, "Pretend you're looking at this." He whispers to Jungkook who quickly catches on and leans over the counter to act like he's even interested in how much an anal gland cleaning costs, "The boss has been kind of hard on Desi today. She still has another dog to do before she'll let her go to lunch. Meet her outside in about one hour."

Our boss comes out of the office wearing a bright smile that oddly enough doesn't look good on her, "Well hello there handsome. What can I help you with?"

I all but gag at the obvious flirtation coming from her and stare daggers at her slick, tiny ass bun on top of her egg shaped head. Jungkook glances over at me quickly and tries to hold back his laugh as I look like I could vomit any moment behind her back.

"Hello! Um," He catches a quick glimpse of the name tag on Jeff's shirt, "Jeff was just giving me the details of your pricing. Very reasonable I might add." He nods his head to try to really sell it.
