" Hello , I'm the new waitress here , my name is-"

It was my first day at the job , even though I have never worked at a coffee shop before but I've always wanted to try it , but I think staying up late while you have a job the next day wasn't a very good idea, because I was running late and I really hoped I could get the job because I needed money , and for me that was the only job I could get " Yes i know who you are Miss Jones and I also know that you are late " my boss Mr Francis cut me off

He looked at me for a second with an unreadable expression, probably thinking if I should get the job or not , he went inside and I was terrified that I failed but he came back with an apron in his hands " Miss Jones , so first things first , one : I don't tolerate my employees coming here late , two : if come here late then I must reconsider my decision of letting you work at this shop , and three : you have to be very quick at serving the customers and -" I cut him off " Yes sir I know very well that first , I should never be late to my job and second I should be quick " I said with a polite smile plastered on my face , I quickly took the apron from his hands as he proceeded to tell me everything about working as a waitress

" go serve table 2 " he said and I nodded , rushing towards the table , I found two beautiful and cute old couple , sitting across from each other " welcome here sir , ma'am, what would you like to get ? " I politely said , trying my best to hide the excitement, even if it will be so hard for me knowing that I'm a medical student , I just finished university and I have full four years of medical school ahead and a few years later , I honestly don't have much time for both my job and my studies but tomorrow is the last day of university and today is my first day at my job , summer is ahead and I decided to take it as a chance to work and gain money , because it's better than to stay home 24/7 without doing anything " thank you , I would love to get a cup of black coffee with two spoons of sugar please " said the lady , I nodded politely and turned to the man sitting across from the woman " I'd have the same "

The couple were my first customers but then more started to come and I tried my best to be as quick as I can and i smiled to myself proudly when i noticed that Mr Francis had a look of approval and satisfaction plastered on his face ' he was satisfied with my work today ' I thought to myself and giggled silently

I probably looked like a fool , but i snapped out of my thought when I looked at Mr Francis and he was rolling his eyes and looking at me as if I was nothing but a silly girl " well your first day was great so far , are you sure you haven't worked as a waitress before Miss Jones ? " He asked smiling curiously , I nodded like a child " positive ! "

" well I might say I'm impressed by your skills , and I really hope that I don't reconsider my decision, well your day is over Miss Jones, I'll see you tomorrow morning " he said " oh and don't be late !" He added looking deadly serious " I'll see you tomorrow Mr Francis , and I will not disappoint you" I finished and pushed the door gently making my way to the grocery store , I had a few things that I wanted to take , I also had to make dinner , thank god the store wasn't far from the shop , so I only had to walk but I also had to walk very fast because you never know what will you face if you are alone at night so I rushed to the store and bought whatever I needed and rushed back to take a cab to get my to the campus . As I made my way to my dorm room , I unlocked it to find my lovely room and headed to my tiny kitchen , I placed all the food I bought on the counter and proceeded to make dinner before going back to pack , I was going to move in with my best friend Amelia , my dorm room was everything I was dreaming of , it had a tiny kitchen , a tiny bathroom and a very little living room , just like a tiny apartment and It broke me to know I won't live in it anymore

" Do you even hear yourself what you are saying ?!" I screamed my lungs out through the phone , i was pissed off , no beyond

He doesn't rule my life , he doesn't have the right to tell me to do something I wasn't ready nor prepared for , something I never thought of , I hung up and threw the phone across the room , I heard low but hearable knocks and " Come in ! " I yelled at the person and as I see the door fly open and a short maid comes in holding a cup of coffee , she looked like she was shaking , I'd she walked any faster she'd have spilled whatever was in the cup on her tiny and ugly short maid uniforms ... as I gave a damn , I don't care what my actions do them , and I don't plan to , she placed it on my desk

" your coffee sir .."

I motioned for her to leave with my hand before stopping " wait " I said as she started to leave, she looked taken aback and shocked ' what's with her? ' I thought rolling my eyes in annoyance , I took a sip and scrunched my noise in disgust

" who made this coffee ?"

She must've noticed my not liking of the coffee because her eyes widened and she looked down while fidgeting with her fingers "m-me .. s-si-sir... " she stuttered

" you are fired , you all are fired !"
