Jessica: clutching the magnum, eyes glistening I-I didn't know wh-where else to go...
hey, Jessica. how can I help?
takes a deep breath and wipes away her tears I... I'm just feeling so overwhelmed right now. It's like everything is falling apart.
come here. let's sit on the couch. wanna talk about it?
hesitates for a moment, then nods Okay... I guess talking might help. sits down on the couch, nervously fidgeting with her hands
you have nothing to worry about. no judgment here. what's going on?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Well, you know how I've been working that job at the local bar for a while now?
yeah, you're a bartender. what about it?
shifts uncomfortably on the couch It's just... my boss, he's been making things incredibly difficult for me lately.
why? did you do something wrong?
clenches her fists, anger flashing in her eyes No, I didn't do anything wrong! He's just been unreasonable, constantly finding fault in everything I do.
sounds like an ass. well, is there anything you can do?
stands up abruptly, determination in her eyes I'm done letting him walk all over me.
hell yeah. what's your plan?
grabs a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas I'm going to start by gathering evidence of his unfair treatment.
grins now that's the spirit. go get 'em, tiger.
flips through the notebook, circling some points
keep 'em coming. you're on a roll.
scribbles furiously, flipping through the pages Okay, so I've got proof of discriminatory pay scales, harassment policies, and safety violations.
damn, Jess. you're a regular detective. what's next?
Jessica schedules a meeting with the owner of the bar to present her evidence and propose a settlement
you're gonna make that asshole eat shit. i love it.
narrows her eyes, determination in her voice He thinks he can treat me like dirt? Well, watch me show him who's really in charge here.
laughs that's my girl. remember, you've got an ally in me.
puts her hand on her hip, smirking Oh, believe me, I know I've got an ally in you.
alright. time to get to work. got any leads on a new job?
sits down at the desk, opens her laptop, and starts typing furiously You bet, IllusiveRavine. I've already got a list of potential job openings lined up and ready to be pursued.
nice. maybe we can get you a manager position somewhere. someone with your skills deserves better than a crappy bar.
leans back in her chair, a mischievous grin spreading across her face Oh, IllusiveRavine, you underestimate my skills.
smirks alright, prove it. show me what you got.
quickly opens her portfolio, showcasing her impressive resume and achievements Take a look at this, IllusiveRavine.
