Please don't tell me I'm fired.

Yes you are. I'm your boss and I'm tired of covering up for you, we need workers, consistent ones at that. Said Jay the manager of Grove Eatery.

Jay, I'm trying and I really need this job for me to keep up with my tuition fee please.

Begged Serena.

I'm sorry, but you have till today to pack up.

Jay Jay you can't do this to me, where do i go? At least give me three days to look for where to stay.

I follow the rules, make sure you leave before midnight. Jay left without giving her any room for words.

Serena Wills, a very attractive young lady, with her black hair reaching her arms. Definition of beauty, with a very great body and accentuated curves. Every man would love to have her.

Serena is an orphan who lived in an orphanage home but had to fend for herself when she turned eighteen. She had managed both working here and schooling because Jay, the manager was her friend but now she doesn't have her job or an apartment.

After packing her stuffs, Serena left the quarter.

Hello Ella,, it's Serena

Yeah, How are you?

I'm good, can I crash at your place tonight?

Serena, you know you can come over anytime.

Thanks, be there soon.

After hanging up, Serena carried her bag to the nearest bus stop.

Knock....knock.....

Hey Serena!! Said Ella as she opened the door, come in please

Thanks. Said Serena as she made her way inside.

Why are you being so formal? What happened?

I got fired.

Why?

I was inconsistent. Said Serena as she made her way to the chair.

Ufff! That's bad, so what's your plan?

Honestly Ella, I really don't know. Getting a job is really hard, besides I'm still an undergraduate.

Yeah, maybe try restaurants, hotels, bars or supermarkets, they are your best bet.

Sure, I will start tomorrow, hopefully I get a job that also comes with an apartment.

Serena, you know you can always stay here, it's small but we can manage and you don't have to really live off me, when you get a job we can split paying rents.

Thanks Ella..

Ella has been her only friend, they were from the same orphanage home and since then she has been in contact with her.

Good morning Ella.

Good morning Serena, I will be off to work, I have noodles here, so please help yourself, bye. After that Ella left.

Ella work in a hotel as a receptionist, not much money but it's helps, she works part-time at night in a bar.

She is also in college, she needs to work anything and everything she sees to still be in college.

After taking a shower, Serena dressed up in a white shirt and a long black skirt that accentuated her curves, she's a natural beauty. Hair packed into a ponytail and no makeup but lip gloss.

Hope I get lucky today. Said Serena as she left the house.

It's been three hours, she has been walking, going from one restaurant to another, one hotel and bar to another but no luck.

Good morning, I'm Serena and I'm looking for a job.

Sorry ma'am, we are not hiring staffs for now.

Another no's to the bag. Mumbled Serena.

It was getting dark and no luck

Serena decided to sit on the street bench and go home later, right now frustration is kicking in but she needs to take a breather.

And now? Instead of heavens helping me, they are sending rain. Frustrated Serena couldn't help her self but let out her frustration.

It started raining, everyone around her was either running in order not to be touched by the rain or with an umbrella, but she sat fixated.

Serena let the rain fall on her.

Are you trying to get yourself sick?

Serena heard someone speak to her but she didn't want to talk.

But the next second, the rain stopped falling on her, she looked up to see herself been covered by an umbrella.

You've let the rain fall on you for almost an hour, are good?

Yes. She replied

Well, you are far from good, let's get you home.

No, I'm good. Serena was skeptical about going anywhere with him.

Oh yes, he's handsome, friendly and doesn't look harmful but she ain't going nowhere.

For the umpteenth time, you are far from good, you can trust me, I'm Adam Maxwell

Ok.

Your address please, I'll drive you home.

Thanks.

Inside the car was silent, the only noise was coming from the rain.

Why were you sitting in the rain? not prying but concerned.

Nothing, it's just fun sitting and letting the rain fall on you.

Ok. Adam knew she didn't want to talk.

Thanks for the ride. Serena thanked him as he stopped in front of the house.

Hey, I didn't get your name.

I'm Serena.

Serena, I know you don't want to tell me what's going on but judging by your attire it's either you just got fired or you are looking for a job.

Thanks for helping today, I really appreciate it. Serena said as she was about to open the car door.

I have a job for you.

Serena froze when she heard it, but she regained her composure.

Adam I really I'm grateful for you trying to help but I'm good.

Fine, this is my card, when you decide, you can give me a call.

Thanks. Serena accepted the card and headed back to the house.

When she got inside, Ella hasn't returned maybe she's also working at the bar today.

It's been a week and no luck, Serena was getting frustrated and college break would be over soon, that means more bills.

Serena, why don't you call the nice guy and have him help. Ella suggested

I don't know, he was so nice, I mean do nice people exist.

Of course, he wants to help, pick up your phone and dial, time is money. Ella said as she made her way to the bathroom to shower.

Hello

Hello. Responded Adam

Good evening, I'm sorry for calling this late, it's Serena.

Serena, how are you?

I'm good. I was hoping to know if the offer is still on.

It's been a week, I mean people are searching for jobs everyday, give me a minute I will call you.

Serena's heart was beating fast, she wasn't ready for her hope to be shattered.

After six minutes, Serena's phone rang and it was him.

Hello

Available right is a vip room service attendant and bartender for the vip bar

Yes sure, I can work both. Serena said with hope.

It's risky for you to be a bartender for bunch of spoilt rich kids and dirty minded folks, stick with the room service.

Please I can do both, room service in the day and bartender at night. Talking about risk, trust me, I can handle it.

Serena please I can't sleep knowing that I sent you to the wolves den.

Then sleep knowing that you gave me an opportunity to keep studying.

Fine.

You will work four times in a day Saturday and Sunday are must then you choose the other two days.

Thank you sir, Monday and Thursday will do.

Come to The Stars Hotel tomorrow with your curriculum vitae.

Wait you mean the The stars Hotel? Serena was shocked.

Yes. Goodnight. Adam wished before ending the call.

Ella you know The stars Hotel right?

Who doesn't know that hotel, a place meant for the rich, not just rich but rich rich. Ella responded as she did her skin care routine.

I'm working there?

You are serious right? Ella asked shocked.

Yes.

This is super great, you just hit a jackpot, you own me treat when you get your first salary.

Sure
