Mr. Reynolds: Ms. Reign! I can't anymore! You are fired!
Morgan: It's not like I want to work here and be treated like this anymore. You're not the only one who's fed up
Mr. Reynolds looked like he was about to have a seizure
Mr. Reynolds: Out!
Morgan got out of his office, swept her hand over her desk, dropping her few belongings in a box, saluted her former co-workers and left
They were left with their mouths hanging open
She walked down the street to her apartment
It was a very small one, almost bare, what with changing jobs and everything, she didn't have enough funds to decorate
She found the land lady waiting for her, that was never a good thing..
Morgan: Hey Mrs. Fintan, what's up?
Mrs. Fintan eyed the box in Morgan's arms. She seemed exasperated
Mrs. Fintan: You lost another job..
Morgan: I wouldn't say lost exactly
Mrs. Fintan pinched the bridge of her nose: Do you have your rent for this month?
Morgan nodded and handed her an envelope
Mrs. Fintan sighed: You are jobless right now, aren't you?
Morgan: Yes, but I will pay the rent, I promisse
Mrs. Fintan: I can't do this anymore Ms. Reign. You pay a couple of months on time, the rest you are always late, because you are almost always looking for another job
Uh Oh, it was never a good thing being adressed so formally by Mrs. Fintan, this means serious trouble
Mrs. Fintan sighed again: I'm sorry Ms. Reign, but you are going to have to leave. You have three days to evacuate
Morgan's jaw dropped: But!..
Mrs. Fintan: No buts Morgan, I endured it for a while because I know your parents, and you are a good girl, but this has to stop, for your own sake as well, you can't just keep dropping jobs, you will not find any more jobs if you keep doing this, do you plan on being destitute?
Morgan shook her head
Mrs. Fintan: Think about it..
She nodded
She entered the apartment with a heavy heart. She loved it, despite its small size, it was a place to call her own. Now she needed to look for both a job and a place to stay
She started job hunting, but had no luck whatsoever, due to her "lack of commitment", no one was ready to even consider hiring her. She felt deflated, and without a job, she couldn't get an apartment, no matter how small
Even her parents were against her. Roger Reign was exasperated with his daughter. Her refused to help, he wasn't one for many words though, so her mother had to tell her
Fay Reign: Honey you know you need to clean your act up. Your father isn't bring cruel, he just wants to push you in the right direction. It's his tough love, you know that
Morgan: Sadly, I do. Don't worry mom, I'll think of something
Morgan called Nina, her cousin and best friend
Morgan: Hey Nina
Nina: Morgan Elizabeth Reign!
Morgan winced: You heard huh
Nina: Everyone did.. Why do you have to keep doing this?!
Morgan: Well..
Nina huffed: Don't answer that.. Anyways, what are you going to do now?
Morgan: I don't know, I'm trying to figure something out. Haven't been successful in job and apartment hunts so far
Nina: Figures..
They both sighed
Morgan: Enough about me, how are you? I haven't seen you for a while now?
Nina: I'm fine, I have a roof on my head and a well paying job, unlike someone who keeps getting in trouble
Morgan: Ouch!
Nina sighed: You know I love you, but you are so exasperating
Morgan tried to smile: I know, love you too
Nina: It's good here, but a girl was fired not long ago, we're a bit short on staff, so it's even more tiring these days. They want to hire a replacement
Morgan: Oh..
Nina: That's it! I know you don't like house chores and taking orders, but would you consider applying for it!
Morgan: Hmmm...
Nina: Beggars can't be choosers, it can just be temporary, and you'll have me as constant company. The job pays well, and you'll have a place to stay
Morgan sighed: Alright. I'll apply, what do I have to lose, right?
Nina: Great! I'll give you a recommendation
Morgan smiled, she didn't like the idea that much, but she didn't have any other choice
