Chapter 3 The most complicated day

ChApter three

Massy groaned as the alarm clock rang. She had turned it off many times that morning already.

It never misbehaves like this and doing all of this was making her feel more perplexed so early that morning.

The morning sickness of getting angry she had was enough with the frustration that the little alarm clock was giving her.

It made that terrible sound for the umpteenth time and angrily; she threw it at the corner of the room.

She was very furious as she turned heavily to the other side of the bed and slept off peacefully for the first time that morning.

But it was not up to a minute when the alarm rang again, and this time very louder.

She was now more annoyed by it because it made sure she was fully awake now as she sat up, stretched and yawned lazily on the bed.

Maybe she would have continued yawning and even lie down lazily on the bed if something had not occurred to her that very minute.

Her eyes suddenly met with the cracked old wall clock on the wall and she gasped in horror like she had seen a ghost.

"Holly Molly."She screamed and sprang to the small bathroom she created and hastily did her thing there.

As usual, she ensure that she did her daily routine, which included brushing and bathing.

Stepping out of the bathroom, she dried her body in a haste and got dressed even without rubbing body cream.

She, without brushing her messy hair, ran out of her house looking like a weirdo, a chronic one.

Getting to her first work for the day, she jumped out of the taxi she boarded without paying the driver. The driver, on the other hand, thought she was a thief and was determined not to let her go away with his money. Immediately, he winded down the glass and leaned to yell angrily after her, "My money, miss!" She turned to him and gave him the money in her hand, muttering sorry.

It was embarrassing, but she knew it was her fault, so that made her feel a little better. She knew she could still face worse that morning.

Although it was still a probability, anything could happen to her that could make her weep sourly that morning.

She was happy that the cab driver only eyed her, irritated by her sorriness, before putting his head back into the car. Stepping into the eatery where she worked part time in the morning, she met her boss waiting outside for her.

Massy felt that she was out of sight and thought for a minute before deciding what best she could do for herself. With a nervous smile to onlookers, she walked in sneakily trying to avoid her boss. She knew she was only trying her luck and unfortunately, she was unlucky because she was caught red-handed.

"Don't stress yourself by sneaking in. I already saw you, Massy," her boss voiced coldly. She turned to see her glaring at her coldly. "What says the time, Miss Tedd?" Her boss inquired about facing void emotions.

"Nine thirty."She replied with a nervous smile.

"When will this eatery open?" Asked her boss angrily.

"Seven AM." Massy replied in a low tone, knowing that she was already in trouble.

"When were you told to resume work at this eatery?" Asked the boss.

"Seven in the morning, ma." Massy reply

"You know I like punctuality and I told you what I wanted from you before hiring you," said the boss angrily to a Massy with her top voice.

"I'm sorry, ma, I woke up..." Massy replied

"You always have excuses to make, which I'm sick of. Please don't say that to me again," the boss replied concerningly.

"This would be the last one, ma'am."Massy was already shaking with fear from what her boss could do next.

"Yeah, that was what you said the last time." The boss cut off her words.

"This is the last time, ma. Please pardon me." Massy said with her voice shaking, begging for help.

"You have been doing this continuously and I believe that enough is enough." The boss said angrily, looking into her face.

"Ma.....?"

"You heard me right. Get out of my entry, and I don't want to see you anymore." The boss said angrily at Massey.

"Ma?" Massey said, astonished, she could not believe what she was hearing.

"Yes! I don't want to see you ever again, Massy Tedd." The boss repeated.

"What do you mean?" Massy asked confusingly.

"I mean you are fired." She hissed, getting irritated with the way Massy was dragging the issue in her favour.

Immediately, she knelt down and started begging her boss. By that time, those passing by the show noticed something was happening there.

"Mrs Johnson, I'm sorry, it won't..."

"That's what you always say, and you kept repeating the same mistake continuously."She cut her off.

"I'm sorry I did this, I really...."

"Get out, Massy, do not let me get pushed to the point of calling the security on you."

"I really have nowhere else to go."Tears were already welling up in her eyes, about to overflow.

"Respect yourself and get out without getting embarrassed, spare yourself every stress."The woman said unregrettably.

"Mrs..."

"Security take her..."

"I will get out myself."She said, and she stepped out of the eatery gloomily.

That was how she lost the highest paying job amidst her fifteen jobs for the day.

"There is still hope."She encouraged herself, thinking about the fourteen jobs she had left.

Unfortunately enough for her, on getting to the other fourteen jobs, they fired her like the first one.
