My fingers lost strength thirty minutes ago and trying to hold my pen felt like I was trying to lift a dumbbell. I couldn't continue anymore. At this point, I was considering quitting the presentation, but then I made a little skit of me telling Stefani that I wasn't interested anymore. Long story short, it didn't end well and I lost my job.
I wasn't able to hold my pen, so I used the audio writing function on my phone to dictate what it should write down. Thanks to the manufacturers for that.
I still couldn't finish the materials, so I decided to read the first ten pages and last five pages to get the main ideas and summarise them, and this saved me a lot of time. I was almost done when I stretched my arms and checked the time. Oh, it was 6:15am. 6:15?!!!!!!!!!!!!
I abandoned the project and ran to the bathroom to take a shower, which lasted for
Fifteen minutes. I dressed up as fast as I could, put my work materials and phone in my bag and ran to the kitchen.
Del Loona Experience was about seventeen minutes away. I didn't have the time to eat, so I grabbed an apple and checked the time. It was 6:39am... Nine minutes???!!!!!! Damn this.
I locked my house and literally ran to the bus stop in low block heels. The bus was taking too much time to get here, I had waited for a minute and twenty two seconds already. I wasn't going to wait anymore. A car stopped by the pavement, finally, a taxi.
It'll be expensive, but I have to get to work.
I opened the door, got in and said, "drive to del Loona Experience please".
The car already had a passenger, but I didn't care, the driver should listen to me first...please. After some seconds, the driver said, "well miss, this isn't... a taxi" he said.
I didn't care if it was a taxi or not. "I have been stressed and tormented for the past ten hours...., so I'd REALLY appreciate it if you would just drive me to work".
"But I'm not a..." He started when I cut him off, "Sir, what you are or aren't isn't important right now, all I need is to get to work. I will pay you whatever you ask for. Just go".
The man frowned, looking annoyed, but most importantly, he didn't start the car.
What the actual fuck bro???!!!!!!!!!
I went full crazy on him, leaned into the driver's seat and said, "I may or may not lose my job today for arriving late and so help me if you are the reason I lose my job today, I will find you and you'll suffer too".
"Are you threatening me?" He asked with a cocked eyebrow and an amused face.
I really don't know what was amusing about someone about to lose their job.
"Yes, I am.....so drive already" I said.
The lady by my left had been quiet throughout, reasons best known to her.
The driver finally started the car and I checked the time, it was 6:55. Damn it!!!!!
I tapped my foot continuously as I gathered the money to give the driver.
When we pulled up in front of Del Loona Experience, I asked quickly, "how much?" "......."
There was no reply. I couldn't waste any more time, so i gave him majority of what was in my wallet, and ran to the building, stepping in exactly by 7:00am. Phew. That was close. I went up the elevator to the third floor where I met Maxwell and Stefani. Shit was about to get real.
......
Earlier,
Kai was driving Bebe around town to show her nice places and foods in the city.
Bebe pointed at something outside, a corn dog stand.
"You want that?" He asked. "Yes, it looks tasty", she replied, so he pulled up by the pavement.
Kai took off his seat belts and was about to step out of the car to buy what she wanted when the back door opened, and a lady sat down and said "drive to Del Loona Experience please".
Kai's POV
I was taken aback. Excuse me? Do I look like a taxi driver? The car was silent, but you could hear the lady's breathing.
"Well miss, This isn't....a taxi" I said, trying to politely tell her to go away.
The lady frowned and said, "I have been stressed and tormented for the past ten hours, so I'd REALLY appreciate it if you would just drive me to work". Emphasis on "really".
Was she not understanding me? Does this car look like a taxi to her?
"But I'm not a..." She cut me off rudely and said with a more serious face, "Sir, what you are or aren't isn't important right now, all I need is to get to work. I will pay you whatever you ask for. Just go".
What was wrong with her? She was determined to get her way, so I didn't move an inch.
I could tell from the shift in the air that she wasn't happy with my action or in this case inaction. She leaned into where I was.
"I may or may not lose my job today for arriving late and so help me if you are the reason I lose my job today, I will find you and you'll suffer too", she said trying to sound tough.
"Are you threatening me?" I asked because it sounded like she was threatening a pet, amusing me.
"Yes, I am.....so drive already", she ordered again. I looked at Bebe through the mirror, and she gave a little nod, telling me to drive the lady to work.
The tapping of the lady's shoes was distracting and annoying. After a few minutes, we arrived at Del Loona Experience. She asked how much she was supposed to pay, but I didn't say anything so she dropped some cash on the seat and ran into the building.
Bebe bursted into laughter a few seconds after....
"Why are you laughing?" I asked. "Because she's interesting, and she threatened you, you know people don't usually do that to you", she replied smiling.
"She really is interesting.....So how about the corn dogs", I said changing the subject.
"Yessss corn dogs" she said with a childish vibe.
And I drove away.....
