Where moon work.
Moon came for work and was instantly called by the manager.
She knocked thrice on the door.
"Come in" came a stiff voice
She went inside and warmly smiled at the old man. Who tried hitting her many times.
" Did you called me sir?"
" oh! Don't call me sir, call me James " he said
" ok james"
" so moon the thing is the cafe has over employee's, so I need to fire almost 3 employees , so I was thinking about you that-
Moon cut him
" James, you cant be thinking to ber fire me now . But "
" listen to me first moon" he said and got up from his chair and moved towards her.
" you're a one of my oldest employees and I don't want to fire you. And i won't, but there's one condition " he said and touched her arm. Which she instantly jerked his hand from her arm.
"Wha-what it is ?" Moon asked
" just come to my farm house with me , and I'll raise your salary too. And you will one of my permanent workers " he said smiling creepily while staring at her from head to bottom.
Moon got angry instantly.
" You old man , I don't need your job. Keep ig and shove it into your ass" moon said and went out of the room.
But when she asked for her last month's salary he denied to give. So she left with heavy heart.
She went to her apartment and saw electricity bill was there.
She must pay in 2 days otherwise electricity will be cut off.
She got more worried and then when she looked at her refrigerator. It was empty.
Just two slice of pizza were left.
She was hungry too, she heated the pizza.
Ate and started looking for jobs.
In this all matters, she forgets Lucy's babysitting offer.
IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS ALREADY.
Moon didn't find any job.The electricity was cut off from her apartment .
For a little light she's been using candles.
She is left with very less money.
That she's afraid she'll be able to eat in the tomorrow morning.
The weather is quite chilly today in the month of September.
Wearing a hoodie. Putting the back cap of it. She's aimlessly walking in the roads.
Her stomach growled due to hunger.
She just had a cup of coffee.
And a bread last night.
She can't possibly ask her mom for money , coz her mom already asked for money from her.
She needs to pay her rent in a week. Otherwise she'll be homeless and will be sleeping in the streets.
She was in deep thought and suddenly a car came towards her .
She almost got in an accident.
She just stood their in the gaze that what just happened.
"Moon" called a voice
And she the person looking at her with wide eyes.
