Hi loves, I know the previous few chapters are boring so I hope from her onwards will be not that bad.
Matthew's POV:
"I'm sorry but you don't have the qualifications we need." My eyes fell at his straight rejection. Am I that bad till I can't even work in a bakery?
"Please Sir, I can learn! I'm a very fast learner. I can clean or wash, anything!"
"Sorry. You're not qualified. We need a experienced baker, not a dishwasher or an ex-stripper." Stripper? I've never stripped before!
"I'm never a stripper, Sir. I only work as their bartender-" He shut me off immediately when he threw me back my resume without a second thought.
"Shut up and get out now before I chase you out myself. Liars like you don't deserve to work in my bakery. You'll ruin my reputation instantly. Now get loss!" He gave me a hard push, making me hit the doors and fall outside the shop roughly. Ouch! I lifted my arm up to see blood flowing down from my arm and onto the pure white snow, staining them red.
"Still sitting down there?! I said scram!" He hollered loudly from inside, making me grab my resume and list of jobs quickly before running down the pavement, almost falling down a few times due to my worn out soles.
1. Melt Cafe- Waiter X
2. Pet Lovers Centre- helper X
3. Lux Hotel- Cleaner X
4. Caltex- Petrol station staff X
5. Food Lion- Delivery man X
6. Clothes Galore- Retail Assistant X
7. Gold baker- Baker XXXX
8. Faites de beaux rêves- Packaging staff
Faites de beaux rêves...my last chance and hope in landing a job by today. I've wasted too much time searching for a job already. If I don't find a job by today, it will be much harder to pay off the bills. Thankfully someone had given me a 10 and it helped me to use the 50 to pay the hospital first. Thank the kind soul.
Standing outside the shop, I took a deep breath and opened the door to get hit by a rush of warmth and smell of sweets and chocolates. It's so warm and cozy in here compared to the cold out there.
"Welcome!" A guy around my age greeted warmly once I step foot into the shop. Well, he's the first to not comment about my attire. I'll give this shop's staff a credit.
"Hi there, um...I heard that there's a job vacancy for a packaging staff?"
"Oh! Yup! You're here for the job I suppose?" I nodded meekly as he grinned. "Great! Can I have your resume?" I handed my resume over to him as he scanned it quickly, his lips pursed tightly together in a straight line.
"I'll go and ask my boss. Stay here." Nodding, he opened the door with a mirror outside, stepping in quickly as if there's something to hide.
Scanning the shop interior quickly, a 'wow' escaped my lips as my eyes took in the feast of colours and little details which decorated the shop well. This shop is lovely. The boss really have a good taste.
After what seemed like an hour later but only 5 minutes later, he walked back out with a piece of chocolate and some art supplies in his hand.
"My boss said that if you can wrap this chocolate up beautifully for a wedding theme, he will hire you." He place the piece of chocolate on the counter, a roll of tape, plastic wrappers, sissors and some other materials.
"Okay. I'll do it. But can I have crepe papers, ribbon, paperclips, paper and a pencil?" He stared at me weirdly before walking off to get the materials I needed.

Romance"Sorry, Sir! I'm really sorry!" The small figure apologised repeatedly as he stood frozen in his spot. "It's alright. Are you okay?" I stared down into his beautiful pair of familiar looking eyes, wondering where did I last saw them. "Y-Yes. C-Can y...
