Just Another Day

Chapter 11- Thirty Minutes To Spare

I got to Greg's building with thirty minutes. I lucked out there was no traffic today. Wow, today seems to be my day. I take the girls out of the car and put them into their carriage. They're actually looking forward to going into their carriage. I go to the elevator to press 5, when I get pushed to the back of the elevator. I look up to see Janelle. I really don't like her and nether do my cats. They're hissing at her right now.

Janelle was about to say something nasty to my girls, when she stopped herself and gave me a look. " Well Jayda, it looks like you're dressed to go to work. Like who would hire a loser like you. I thought that you were planning to live off of mom for the rest of her life." "I got a job through Jillian's boyfriend Neil as a secretary. I'm meeting Jillian for lunch and then we're going to Neil's Law office to get all my paperwork done. I also told mom that I was planning on saving up money to buy the house from her. I can't wait to call that house my own." Janelle laughed and evil laugh and said, "I don't think you can save up that much money in your lifetime. You're so pathetic to actually think that you could live on your own." I wanted to punch her out so bad after she said that. I forgot to calm myself down, and the lights started to flicker on and off in the elevator.

I got myself in control of my emotions. As we got to the fifth floor I got myself together, and Jillian came into the elevator. She was like my hero,when she pushed herself in and pushed Janelle away and out of the elevator. Janelle was incredibly angry and threatened Jillian's job. "You should know better than to disrespect me like that you w***e! I'll make sure that you don't get a job anywhere. I hope you don't think that you still have a job here. I own Greg. He does what I say, just like your precious Matthew Blackwell. He's mine now. She laughs harshly, and you'll never get him back. He'll be mine forever. The elevator lights started to flicker again. Jillian looked at me and told me to calm down.

Janelle was looking at me and said,"if you think that you have a wonderful job, think again. I'll make sure that you have nothing. I'll even make sure that you have no friends including Jillian over here. If you think you're going to get another boyfriend, think again. I always get my way. Besides, I'm irresistible and you're not. Just remember I always win my darling sister. I'll see you without a job and homeless before the week is over. Just remember what I'm saying to you.

It took all my will power to keep me from losing it. I wanted to kill her at that moment. No one is worth going jail. I have to get some food into my stomach. Right now, I was a bit hangry, and so was Jillian. Before, the door closed because Janelle had her foot against the door monitor wouldn't close. Jillian gave the finger to Janelle as the elevator door closed.

Jillian told me that she had made reservations for DiMaggio's Italian Restaurant. "Jayda, I just picked this restaurant because I know your sister is going to ruin our lunch if we decided to have lunch at the cafeteria. You don't mind Italian food for lunch today, do you?" "I don't mind at all starving right now. I can eat a whole herd of cattle right now. Yes, Italian sounds very good. That's one of my favorite restaurants. I have a feeling that tonight is going to be intense. Janelle's really angry. She's not used to having people going against her. I think she's going to make my life a living hell tonight."

"Jayda, let's deal with your sister after we go and get your paperwork done. I see you you told your family that you are working for Neil's Law Firm. That's pretty good for a newbie. You've got a lot of potential for this line of work. I just need to give Neil the heads up, about what might happen soon, with your sister. She might want to talk to him later. She might be talking to him right now. Don't worry. I know that she's going to try to have me go against you, and probably have Neil fire you before you have a chance to do your paperwork. I'm going to be by your side through all this."

I breathed a sigh of relief, as I ordered my food. It's been a lifetime since anyone's cared about me. Before I ordered my food, I made sure that my girls had their food. They both love gravy lovers Fancy Feast. They were purring loudly as I opened two cans for my girls to eat. The Manager of the restaurant was about to send us out because of my two girls. Everyone was in love with my girls. They booed the manager for being mean to me. When the manager

saw that they were emotional support animals, he backed down and made sure that I had anything I ordered for free.

We both ordered 2 orders of stuffed clams with garlic sauce and mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce for th appetizer. Jillian ordered eggplant parm meal with an order spaghetti and meatballs, and an order of lasagna; and I ordered a chicken parm meal with an order of lasagna, and shrimp scampi with linguine fettuccine sauce for the main course. For dessert we both had a dark fudge chocolate cake topped with chocolate truffle. We decided to take another order of everything we ate for take out and I added a extra eggplant parm meal with New York style cheese cake for my mom. Jillian and I were planning an all nighter for some brainstorming, after we get back from the police station. I couldn't wait to go to the police station, but first I needed to drop the food home.
