Alex's Agent- "Finally! You're forty five minutes late."
Alex- "Sorry about that, but I'm here now."
Agent- "You may have already been replaced."
Alex- "Oh perfect."
Agent- "Alex, I've told you before, time is money. I've been here doing my best to salvage this."
Alex- "Good, I need this job."
Agent- "Oh hello again Mariah, Alex has arrived and ready to get started."
Mariah- "There's no need. We're going with someone else. You two can exit the building."
Alex- "I can still do the job. I'll cut my fee by ten percent."
Mariah- "No thank you."
Alex- "Fifteen?"
Mariah- "Please leave or I'll have to call security."
Agent- "We'll go. Thank you for your time."
Mariah- "Good-bye," as she walks away.
Alex- "You barely opened your mouth."
Agent- "Alex, I'm sorry, but I'm done fighting for you. And it's too bad, you started out so well."
Agent- "Now it's hard to get you to show up on time. My reputation is on the line as well."
Alex- "Are you about to quit?"
Agent- "Yes, this has been three times too many. Good luck to you Alex."
Alex- "Crap."
Mariah- "You're still here?"
Alex- "Twenty percent?"
Mariah- "I will call security."
Alex- "Don't bother, I'm leaving."
She makes her way home, while contemplating her next move.
Oh Alex when are you ever gonna learn?
ReplyDeleteI currently have a so called friend like this where she thinks the world evolves arounds her. Good read while I have downtime from my studies!
Christine
Thanks Christine!
DeleteLOL poor Alex. I have faith that she'll get it together. Great story!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. :)
DeleteHello from Spain: Poor Alex. She has to grow up and be more responsible. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteHi Marta. I think she's on her way...hopefully.
DeleteI was waiting for Alex to shout 30% on her way out the door, LOL. Oh Alex, she'd better be careful not to get on her dad's bad side. He dropped a good chunk of money on her condo. Yike!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yeah, she'll find her things on the curb if she's not careful. :)
DeleteHola, espero que madure, de lo contrario perdera muchos contratos mas.
ReplyDeleteBonitas fotos.
Gracias. Ella va a tener que crecer un día ... Me pregunto lo que va a tomar.
DeleteAlex needs to be more responsible. Mariah is about business and seem to have zero tolerance for tardiness. I feel a little sorry for Alex, but I agree with Mariah's decision.
ReplyDeleteMariah was definitely not having it. Hopefully Alex will learn from this...we'll see.
DeleteWell I guess she didn't make it. At least she felt a little remorse. That's new for her.
ReplyDeleteThere's hope after all. :)
