What do i do i really need to get a job to be able to get money to pay for the rent and Zoe's tuition fees but it's not that easy, well i have to find one today, am Ashlyn Greyson, born in Texas but my family moved to Paris when i was just a year old i have a younger sister Zoe who's autistic, our parents died in a car accident when i was sixteen and we were taken to the orphanage where we grew up with no one to care for us,i left the orphanage with Zoe when i turned twenty and since then have been the one taking care of myself and Zoe..

I put on my faded jeans and white tees with my sneakers and headed out to look for a job,i went to king's restaurant and met the manager who offered me a job as a waitress with a pay of $20 per day and i was very happy to get a job that i ran back home to break the good news without waiting for the bus luckily for me Zoe was back and making lunch made up of instant noodles and scrambled eggs, she noticed my happy mood and asked me

Sis you look happy did you get a boyfriend

What are you talking about i don't want a boyfriend neither do i need one

Okay so why are you so happy today

Well i will give you the opportunity to guess i told her

Please tell me you got a job she said

Well you got it right i got a job at Kings restaurant as a waitress with a pay of $20 per day what do you think i said grinning from ear to ear

Wait you mean you got a job at the famous King restaurant that's awesome am so happy for you at least now we can pay Mrs Williams and i can also pay this semester fees she said and that's how we ate lunch happily after a long time..

That Same Day

I stood at the French windows and watched the atmosphere around the restaurant when i noticed her the same girl have been yearning to see all this years coming into the restaurant wearing a faded jeans and t-shirt looking as beautiful as ever, the first thought that crossed my mind was to run to her but am not sure she would remember me seeing the great change have under gone or if she's still waiting for me still thinking about this i watched her leave and then called the manager in charge of my restaurant peaches come to my office i said into the inter com and within five minutes she was there staring at me like am some kind of mouth watering food she can eat but that's not what i need now

Sir you called me she asked

Yes the young lady that just left what does she want

She came looking for a job as a waitress sir

And did you give her the job was my next question

Yes sir i did with a pay of $20 per day she replied

I want you to increase her pay to $50 per day i said

But sir she is just a common waitress with no experience whatsoever and she's still new to the job that would be unfair to the other waitress and waiters she was saying when i cut her off

Peaches are you telling me what to do in my own restaurant, you should know your place and do as you are told i only allowed you to be a manager here because of the help you rendered me in my trying times i told her while exuding a cold aura

Am sorry sir i will do as you say Immediately she responded

Good you may leave i told her and watched as she left visibly shaking....

PEACHES

What is wrong with Chase have never seen him this angry and all because of a dirty good for nothing girl,i helped him during his time of need and this is how he pays me i can't let a little girl come from nowhere and take what is mine i have been trying to make Chase notice me but he just act like i don't exist except when it is business related and it's really annoying but i had hope that would change soon but he is now interested in that little bitch but i will make sure to put her in her place

THE NEXT DAY

ASHLYN

I woke up at six and took a warm bath took out my pink sundress and black flats and dressed for work,i ate breakfast with Zoe and we both left for the bus stop with her heading to school and me to work,i got to the restaurant two minutes late and met miss peaches the manager waiting for me at the door, you are late on your first day is that how you want to work here and make a living if you are not serious you better pack up and leave we don't work with lazy people here she shouted

Am sorry ma it will never repeat itself again i said bowing my head

It better not or you are fired she said to me while walking inside and i followed her waiting for her instructions since i don't know what my schedule looks like

Here's your uniform you can change at the back room, your shift last for five hours seven to Twelve and then someone will replace you when your shift is over but till then you are not allowed to leave without permission or your pay will be deducted and yes one more thing the boss took a fancy to you and asked me to increase your pay so it's now $50 per day you will receive your pay when due if you behave yourself and work diligently that's all for now you can go change and start work officially Luke will show you what to do she said and left...
