1632 Words
Jasmine Hill sped as if she wanted to bump into Aurora. On the screen of Aurora Ward's phone, a messaging application with an account named "Denzel Butler" appeared. Two Convenience Store employees read his series of sensitive and emotional messages with dozens of different girls without missing a single word. Jasmine Hill shook her head repeatedly, fists clenched. He did not expect that Aurora had successfully 'hacked' into the account of that bastard Denzel Butler in just a moment. Aurora Ward started taking screenshots of all the messages. She looked at Jasmine Hill, narrowed her eyes, put her hand over her mouth, and nodded. Aurora scrolls through the news looking for Rosie Hart's name, then send all the pictures through. Message screen with Rosie Hart saying “Watched”. The two looked at the table of Denzel Butler and Rosie Hart, holding their breath and waiting like they were watching an 'action horror movie. “What did you just send me, Denzel Butler?” Rosie Hart spoke in a slow but murderous voice. She felt spasms of convulsions constricting her temples, hot blood boiling in every nerve. The neurons in her brain showed signs of exploding at the tremendous power of the images on the phone screen she had just received. "Send me what?" Denzel Butler texted and smiled, but the smile quickly faded when Rosie Hart brought the phone to his eye level. “What is this? I do not understand?" He pretended to be stupid, as if he didn't know what was happening. Rosie Hart shouted: “Give me the phone!” Rosie Hart coldly drew a Glock 21 from inside her jacket, her right index finger poised to pull the trigger. The gun was still hidden behind her coat, but the muzzle was pointed proudly at Denzel Butler. The pale-faced man looked at Rosie Hart, stammering: "I..." Rosie Hart said, "I can suppress my anger, but bullets cannot suppress.” Rosie Hart waved the gun, making Denzel Butler sweat. Trembling, he put the phone in her hand. Rosie Hart quickly scrolled through the series of messages. She put the phone down. Her eyes were deep in fear of the opposite person. Rosie Hart turned her palm up in front of him. Denzel Butler gulped, placing the bag of money in her hand. Rosie Hart nodded, smirking. “You are smarter than I thought. Now… get out!” Rosie Hart's shout startled everyone in the store. Denzel ran out of the store, not daring to turn around. Jasmine Hill and Aurora Ward standing inside the cashier counter, were very happy, their faces full of joy. Both were still in the steam of victory when Rosie Hart approached. Jasmine Hill and Aurora Ward suddenly remembered the Glock 21 lying inside Rosie Hart's shirt. She looked at the two employees inside the counter with fierce eyes. “Thanks, you two!” Suddenly Rosie Hart burst into tears. Jasmine Hill saw her and ran outside to comfort her. Rosie Hart still couldn't stop crying. She just cried and told everything about her own sad, tragic love. Jasmine Hill sobbed along with her, and Aurora Ward sighed, shaking her head at the two "sensitive" girls hugging each other and sobbing. A tragic love story through a passionate, anguished voice like Rosie Hart's reformed singers. Rosie's story immediately moved the sensitive soul of a salesperson like Jasmine Hill. Both seem to have forgotten their current actual position roles. Familiar guests appear; in this situation, only Aurora Ward can 'wipe away the pitiful tears' to serve customers in the best way. She squirmed around the cashier with the goods, and the bills ran straight for miles. Suddenly, someone came in from outside. “Is there no staff here?” Jake Hunt frowned and pushed open the door. He looked over at Aurora Ward, who worked hard with the mop and stains on the cashier counter. Aurora Ward was a bit surprised, but the one with the weirdest expression in the store was Jasmine Hill. She gaped, her eyes widening in surprise. Jasmine Hill's eyes resounded with the words. 'SO COOL!'. Aurora Ward shook her head, sighing in frustration. But her inner self was apprehensive because of his frequent appearance. Now and then, Aurora looked warily in Jake Hunt's direction. And Jake Hunt was still looking thoughtfully around the carefully arranged shelves. Aurora Ward immediately greeted Jake Hunt with the usual greeting for customers. Jake Hunt didn't care in the slightest. He walked ahead, followed by a few more people. “Mr. Chairman, with the motto 'For the quality of life of every home, the GoLo convenience store system of our Group will bring consumers a diverse choice of goods, providing a wide range of products and convenient service. We will meet all shopping needs from affordable to high-end customers.” An employee rolled his eyes, trying to pick up the best words to blow into Jake Hunt's ear. Jake Hunt just smiled and spoke assertively. "Are you sure? Continue!" Another male employee's demeanor is mature, his posture is highly mature, and he talks continuously without stopping. Jake Hunt turned to look at the shelves of sweets. He picked up a few items and put them down with a pout. He ran his fingers quickly across the underside of the shelves, noticing a few specks of dust. The male employee continued reporting to Jake Hunt, though he didn't seem to care. He glanced at the old security cameras and the messy little chairs next to Jasmine Hill. Jake Hunt looked at the store as a whole, frowned slightly, and said: “Don't just report the good stuff. Beautiful words like these are not worth hearing when success is not yet seen. Working with me must understand my personality. Don't paint a good picture for the future and then fail to do it. You will definitely be the one I fire first." The employees began to be timid. A little fear crossed their faces. Although the air conditioner was still very loud, sweat was continuously pouring out their foreheads. Their footsteps slowed, their eyes darting to each other's sneaky glances. Jake Hunt looked at the refrigerator's glass, the employees still watching him warily: “So the first month, opening a hundred and fifty GoLo Convenience Stores in New York. In the second month, it starts spreading to other cities and states. This year, at least one thousand Stores must be opened. If you lose money at the end of the year, I'll kick you out." The employees' panic erupted like an active volcano. One employee took a deep breath, looked at Jake Hunt, and then began to lament the difficulties and obstacles ahead. “Don't present problems without solutions. I hired you guys to do these things.” Jake Hunt angrily threw a bottle of mineral water at the employees behind him. He went back out the door. Before leaving, he pointed to Jasmine Hill and Aurora Ward, saying one sentence: "Fire these two people immediately. I don't want to pay useless people." "Fire!!!" Immediately Aurora Ward and Jasmine Hill were horrified by Jake Hunt's statement. Both of them stopped all the activities that they were doing. An employee who followed Jake Hunt walked closer to Aurora and Jasmine Hill, looking at them with sympathy: “Did you both hear what Boss said? In a few minutes, someone will come to change the shift for the two of you. The Manager will also go to do the resignation procedures. Thank you for working with us.” As soon as the male employee finished speaking, he turned and walked away coldly. “What is he talking about, Aurora Ward? Did you really get fired?" Jasmine Hill burst into tears. When was it going to be Rosie Hart who had to comfort her? Very quickly after that, all procedures were carried out, and even the salaries of both were given in cash. The bond between Aurora Ward, Jasmine Hill, and GoLo Convenience Store are wholly cut off from here. Jasmine Hill was always crying. Even Teddie Berry didn't show up. Aurora Ward secretly thought they were both involved with him. Rosie Hart sat watching everything happen in her heart, a little strange. When Aurora Ward and Jasmine Hill had just finished their resignation procedures, Rosie Hart pulled them together and said: "Do you both have any plans?" Aurora Ward said wearily, hearing Rosie Hart speak, “I don't know either. I have to find a new job tomorrow.” “Anyway, I want to thank both of you. There is such a sad thing going on. Let's go have a drink! It's okay to relax a bit. I'll treat this to you." Rosie Hart winked at them both. Jasmine Hill looked at her and burst into tears again, though she nodded vigorously. Aurora Ward sighed as she looked at Jasmine Hill. The three of them climbed into Rosie Hart's car and called. The three had sad, miserable faces towards a friendly pub Rosie Hart often went to with friends. Jasmine Hill had just finished drinking two glasses of fruit beer and was lying on the table. Rosie Hart laughed when she saw that Jasmine Hill's condition seemed very funny, she intended to calm Jasmine Hill, but Aurora Ward prevented her: "She is fine. Just ignore her." “Aurora, what do you plan to do?” Rosie Hart sipped some beer and looked at Aurora. Aurora smiled and replied, "I don't know yet. I'll probably get a job at a supermarket or another Convenience Store.” “You don't want to be a hacker anymore? I think that profession generates more income than working as an employee. Everyone is having a hard time and needs money at this time.”
