"To be able to live, you must work hard, Alejandra!" I cheered myself in front of the mirror.
My friend says I look like a rich girl because of my soft skin, my doe eyes, and my heart-shaped lips. But no, I'm not a rich girl. I'm a girl struggling to find a job, money to be exact. We can't live without money, I mean, who can live without money? All of us needed it.
I am living in a small apartment. As you see in it, it's messy and dirty, cockroaches fly in here every night.
Looking at my reflection, a girl wearing jeans and a white t-shirt is all that I can afford, cheap clothes. I don't have a parent with me anymore. They already abandoned me.
"Good morning, beautiful!" One of my neighbour yelled. I smiled at him and waved my hand. Everyone in this small town is friendly and harmless.
Today, I am going to find a job. Well, hopefully, I can look for one. I just wish they'll take me because I haven't finished school. When was the last time I had a job? Probably weeks ago. Looking back at it, I don't wanna think about it anymore.
-FLASHBACK-
"Look at my dress you stupid waiter!" My brows furrowed as I heard a yell from a girl, a customer. Wearing her sparkly dress that looks cheap. She was about to slap my co-worker when suddenly, I poured water on her face, making her stop.
She gasped, "How dare you interrupt me!"
She called the manager and that makes me... Fired from my work.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
I would want to defend myself but the manager already made up his mind. Maybe he was seduced because of that girl. What an ugly attitude, makes me grown white hair at an early age.
"Oh my gosh!" I was nearly hit by a car! A man came out and looked at me apologetically. It looks like he never meant to hit me.
"I'm so sorry, Miss." He said.
"Uh... No worries!" I tried to smile. Another man went out, making me realize this man is a driver and the man who went out last is the boss. Rich huh?
"I'm so sorry, Sir." The man bowed down and so did I. I don't know why but the boss's face makes me nervous.
"You don't need to bow, young Miss. I'm sorry we nearly hit you."
I looked at the boss who's looking at me from head to toe and suddenly smiled.
"Where are you off to? Maybe we can drive you from there as my apology." He offered seriously.
"I am still looking for a job, Sir. So, I don't have any specific place to go." You should help me looking for a job instead of driving to a place where I also don't know where to.
"A job? Maybe you can work with me. I am looking for a worker too."
My smile widened as I heard him say that. Good! Now I don't need to look for a job because the job... Has already found me!
"I would want to be your worker, sir."
"Well then, young miss. You'll also need to live with us. See you tomorrow." He smiled and bowed slightly before going inside the car.
