Chapter 21 My jaw dropped when the guard suddenly took down the "Now Hiring" sign from the shop window. Wasn’t that… strange? I had just seen one of the applicants leave, and right as I approached, they announced that the hiring was over. I frowned. This was part of the plan Art and I had agreed on—but still… wasn’t this too suspicious? So, without wasting any more time, I headed straight to the dress shop owned by Mr. Aron. It wasn’t anything fancy, and I only planned to apply as a regular staff member. I would clean the shop, unload fabrics, and help with packaging. Art and I had practiced for this. I even memorized the lines he taught me for the interview. It was a bit difficult, especially since some English words were still unfamiliar to me. But please… I really needed this job.
