The Relationship Contract novel Chapter 4

Kimberly's POV

I couldn't believe what i heard, I squinted my eyes and kept staring into space, I couldn't comprehend what I just heard, I regained myself and snapped my head to see that my Manager wasn't there anymore! I ran a quick glance at the coffee shop and saw him behind the counter, I ran quickly to meet the manager,

"Mike  please you can't possibly fire me. you know how much i need this job! It was just a mistake and we are all humans, I know i made a mistake but telling me to leave my job seems too much of a punishment" I rushed out not giving any breathing space, I was hoping he was just joking but it didn't seem like that, He seemed pretty serious

He looked at me with an expression I couldn't understand and sighed

"Kim do you know who that man is?"

He asked me and I slowly shook my head, I didn't know I am supposed to know the man!

"No I don't, But please Jack you cannot do this to me!" I say and placed my hand on his arm, pleading with him to change his mind but I didn't seem to be doing a good job" He gently removes the hand I placed on his arm and sighs

"See Kimberly, if it were anyone else I would ignore it, overlook it but not this time! The coffee shop could get a bad review just because of what happened, You might not it but  you spilled coffee on Jace Norman! The one and only Jace Norman, I cannot afford to get bad reviews just because of your silly mistake Kim, please understand me, You know just how much the coffee shop means to me and I can't afford to lose it." He tells me and my eyes burned with unshed tears, I couldn't believe this was happening to me! It was an honest mistake but it shouldn't cost me my job " Look Kim, I will hire you again if you can somehow manage to convince him to come back here, If I don't get bad reviews about this coffee shop then you would have your job back, But if not! I can't do much for you!" He says and a tear dropped from my eyes, I nodded solemnly and removed my apron, Placing it against the counter, I grabbed my bag and wiped my tears, Attempting to leave but he stops me when he called out my name "I promise you Kim, If you get him back here you would have your job back but if not, I can't do anything!" He reminded me again and i nodded and walked out of the coffee shop feeling dejected.

It really was an honest mistake that I believed anyone would make, how was I supposed to know he was the one and only Jace Norman, I mean he could make the same mistake too but just because it's me I get fired

I sighed and started to walk back home, this is crazy how was I supposed to know that it was him? How in the world am I supposed to get him? Where do I find him? I wiped the tears that was threatening to fall down my cheeks

I got home and stripped off my clothes, taking  a long cold shower, I just wanted to forget what happened today but it was impossible!

Now how was I supposed to get jace Norman I've only heard of him I haven't seen him until today i thought to myself, I stepped out of the bathroom brought out my pyjamas tied my hair in a ponytail and picked up my phone. I made a call through to Lisa,right now I needed my bestie and I knew she would be here for me, She picked up almost immediately and I found myself narrating the whole incident to her
