“Okay, everyone out!” I clapped my hands.

For some reason, it sounded much cooler when Marvin said it

+5 Banus

It was my first morning in the new house, and to show my gratitude, I had decided to do something useful for once and make Marvin breakfast.

The maids in the kitchen shot me confused looks, but followed my order either way as they were probably scared to get into trouble with Marvin.

It took me some time to gather the ingredients, but before I knew it, I was already busy preparing breakfast. Just when I was about to flip over a pancake, I received a call from Roma

“Yes?” I answered the phone.

“Lena, I’m literally about to shoot up this entire place!” Rona shouted. I turned the stove off and put her on speaker.

“Wait, what?” I asked, confused. “Calm down.”

Rona did the complete opposite and started sobbing over the phone. “I can’t calm down. I’m pissed!” She choked in between sniffles.

“Rona, what happened?” I asked as I grabbed three plates from the cabinet. Rona having a meltdown was not something new, but this time it sounded different.

“You don’t have to come to work today.” Rona told me. It took me a few seconds before her words finally got through to me.

“Hello?”

Rona sighed. “Some guy showed up at the door with this huge bill which I can’t pay, all of the investors pulled out- and I just can’t take it anymore!”

“Oh, no! “I played along, but all I could think about was her telling me that I might be jobless.What was left for me? Okay, maybe I needed to stop being so overdramatic-I could find a new job.

“I’m so stressed and angry, “Rona complained.

“Can’t you steal some weed from the Castillo’s, so we can sell it or smoke it ourselves?”

I widened my eyes at Rona’s bad joke and covered my phone with my hand-removing her from speaker. “Don’t do anything crazy, and wait until I show up for work-okay?”

“Elena, you’re not Jesus-you can’t fix this! “Rona attacked me. Then she shouldn’t have called me in the first place So much for me trying to help out.

“I know, but we’ll figure it out.”

“Fine, I’ll see you later!” Rona huffed. “And don’t forget the weed!”

Flustered, I ended the conversation and looked around to see if someone might’ve heard us. Between
