THE GIRL BOOK I

Book I, Chapter 19

After that, everyone with tattoos were smiling. They can’t wait to fire them. They had to wait for the meeting. But also to wait until their friend has all of her memories returned. ‘ Oh Taylor before you go! You need to train your workers about etiquette, mannerisms and customer service. Because I can tell they are rude to customers. But also lazy. Particularly for Carla’s case she had broken many rules for the job. If things don’t change then I would have to take this manner in my own hands. And If I did, everyone who works at this store will have no job ‘. Rosetta says to him.

After that, all of her friends start to chuckle here and there. Since, they don’t know who she is. And yet being treated this way. ‘ I need to report what happened here today. Since I have gotten the result of the inspection of this store. I hope you and everyone have a nice day ‘. Rosetta says to him. Everyone was shocked. Even the workers didn’t know. Taylor just found out just now. Everyone walks by themselves. They didn’t buy anything from this store.

Taylor genuinely smiles towards her. She may be his friend. But there is more than her than meets the eye. She smiles towards him ‘ It was nice seeing you Taylor. Hopefully things change for the better for you my friend ‘. Rosetta spoke again. In the corner of her eyes, she saw Carla starting to frown. Daniel and Issac were quiet.

She was about to walk out of the store when the stranger bumped into her by accident. Rosetta looks at the person in question. She decided to fix her outfit. Since it was out of place. The strange man saw a glimpse of the tattoos that were on her body. The one that was easily noticeable. He starts to shake in fear. He starts going down on his knees on the floor.

‘ I am deeply sorry for bumping into you beautiful. I-I didn’t mean to steal. Here I’ll give you back the stuff that I have put in my pockets ‘. The man with black shaggy hair spoke. He has brown eyes too. As for Rosetta, she just smiles at him nicely. She didn’t have to do anything nor try too hard. The man walked up to the counter. He put all the items that he took from O’Reilly Auto Parts.

The police officers were there to witness. They knew with just one glance any thief would apologize. ‘ You can arrest me! ‘ The man spoke as he turned himself in to the police. Rosetta and a few of her friends were still in the store. The rest of her friends were outside. They were on standby mode. She took a deep breath. “ There’s no need. You stole because you have no money and you’re homeless. Is that correct? “ Rosetta asked him politely.

The male thief shook his head up and down. It was signaling to her that he was saying ‘ yes ‘. She took a deep breath. She took out a business card. ‘ Here take this! Tell them that I will send you and they will help you find a place for you to stay. Instead of you living on the street ‘ Rosetta says to the man. She smiles gently at him. He looked at the card. He smiled back. ‘ I will let all the other homeless people know about this. That way no one will steal anymore. Thank you very much ‘. The man says in an exciting voice.

The man was about to leave. ‘ Wait, don’t you need those items that you brought back ‘. She says to him. The homeless man nodded. ‘ I do but I don’t have money ‘. The man says. His voice was laced in sadness.

‘ Here let me pay for it and you can go to the address on the card. You will get the things you need ‘. Rosetta spoke in a polite way to him. She could see his eyes sparkled. With the snap of her fingers, a pair of mysterious people appear. They came out of the shadow in the corner. He bowed towards her. He reached his hand out to her. She could see he was holding a platinum card. She smiles at him. And he did exactly what he was told. He could tell what she wanted. He grabs the items. And he waited in line. ‘ Isaac, I want you to help the man out ‘. Taylor called out of him. He raises his head up to see his boss. He didn’t say anything. He nodded his head as he was looking at Daniel and Carla.

They both were frowning. As for Daniel he was a few feet away from her. He doesn’t want to get fired on the spot. He didn’t have any jobs after this one. Few minutes have passed. Issac helped a man pay for these items. He was standing next to Rosetta. He awaits for orders. Issac already gave him the receipt as proof as the person paid for it. With just one glance, the man knew what to do. He gave the items brought to the homeless man. The homeless man was looking at the beautiful women. ‘ Here it’s on me. I bought these for you. Hopefully next time I see you then you would have a job by then to pay for your items ‘. She says to him as she takes a deep breath. It was a sign of relief.

The homeless man was happy. And he left. As for Rosetta, she had a gentle smile. But when looking at other people her face was serious. Taylor watched his friend switch her faces with lots of expression. He gulped down. He doesn’t know where to look. He didn’t know that Daniel knew her. But he was glad he saw her again. He watches her leaves. The workers at the store clear their throat. It was their way to get his attention. ‘ Who’s that? ‘ Daniel and Isaac ask at the same time. His eyes widened for a moment. ‘ You know her Daniel ‘. He said to him, He saw everyone looking confused. (Oh yeah I forgot. Daniel hasn't seen his female friend in a long time. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t know her. He only saw her as fat. But I recognize her easily). Taylor thought to himself. He glances at Carla real quick as he shakes his head in disappointment.

As for Issac, he could see his boss looking at Carla. He was also shocked at what his boss said to Daniel. The girl that came to the store and waited for Daniel was HER. (Could it be?!). Isaac starts to think in his mind. ‘ Be ready for the next meeting Daniel. Since you’re a manager we will discuss something very important. This is also concerning Carla Paris as well for this meeting. Not only that, there will be another investigation coming up next. It seems like someone had reported you to Daniel and Carla. But we will talk about it during that meeting ‘. Taylor says to them as he takes a deep breath.

‘ Isaac since you’re going to be promoted to an assistant manager. It’s not for me to approve of it. I may be the district manager but— ‘. Taylor says to him. He could tell he worked so hard to be an assistant manager. But it all depends on HER. Since there are many changes happening one by one. He was thinking about Daniel’s female friend as he looked at all three of them. He knows trouble will be coming soon. He took a deep breath as he sighs in disappointment. He knew that the action that Carla did would affect the O’Reilly Auto Parts store. And everyone might get fired if the decision has already been made.

After that, he stands from the back of the store. He makes sure that Daniel, Isaac and Carla work. He will see it with his own eyes. He wants to know if their workers are serious about this job. Because next time he meets HER again, he has to talk to be serious. No friendly chatter. Not in front of the owner of O’Reilly Auto Parts. He has a bad feeling about this. Work was over. It was now 9:15pm. The district manager waited. Isaac waited for Carla to be done. Taylor waited for Daniel to be done. Carla starts to frown. She can’t do anything inappropriate to Daniel himself. And she doesn’t know that someone is watching her make a mistake.
