“When I’m not in class, I pick up shifts here to keep the bills paid.”
“You’re really putting in the effort, Haylee.”
Haylee laughed, “Gotta hustle for that cash, you know? Josie, what brings you here?”
“I heard there's an awesome diner nearby, so I'm here with some friends to check it out.”
Haylee was well aware of Josefina’s well-off background and her love for finding the best eats.
After exchanging a few words, they both pedaled off in opposite directions.
…
Back at the fashion company, Josefina learned from Alex that they were prepping for a runway show. Models would showcase their latest designs, giving the audience a firsthand look at the stunning creations.
Alex and Kale welcomed her at the entrance like they were the gatekeepers.
As Josefina stepped out of her car, she couldn’t help but smile at their cheerful faces.
“Not too busy today, huh? You guys waiting here just for me?”
Kale quipped, “The company's workload can wait; we couldn’t miss welcoming you.”
Alex added, “Ms. Josefina, Kale and I eagerly await your visits, just like old times when you led us.”
Their light-hearted banter brought a grin to Josefina's face as they walked to her office.
Even after Alex’s promotion, he didn’t take over Josefina’s office. It stayed hers, a gesture ensuring she always had a place at the company.
Alex and Kale made sure her office was spotless every day.
Seeing the immaculate condition, Josefina said, “You don’t have to save this office for me; someone who needs it should use it.”
Alex countered, “Ms. Josefina, it’s perfect for you.”
Kale chimed in, “Absolutely perfect.”
Their exchange felt like a well-rehearsed comedy act.
