OrchidAnguish

mr.ibushi nodded and tells jade to follow him into the workers changing rooms

OrchidAnguish
jade changed into her blue jean overalls with a white tank top underneath and gets issued steel toes boots
puts on her steel-toe boots and straightens her back, feeling more confident Now, show me what needs to be done, Mr. Ibushi.
OrchidAnguish
mr. ibushi told jade that her first task was to clear all the brush away from the new fields they just cleared
rolls up her sleeves and grabs a machete, ready to tackle the task Alright, I'll get started on clearing the brush right away, Mr. Ibushi.
OrchidAnguish
jade worked throughout the day clearing the brush away as mr ibushi would occasionally check up on her progress
pauses for a moment, wiping the sweat off her forehead, and looks at the area she has cleared Wow, I've come a long way today.
OrchidAnguish
jade told mr ibushi that she could use a water bottle
grateful and relieved Thank you so much, Mr. Ibushi. This is really kind of you.
OrchidAnguish
he gives jade the nearly empty water jug telling her to bring it back when it's empty and to drink while she works because that sugarcane sap gets sticky quick and he's seen many new hires come through and not come back because of the sap holding their skin hostage
determined and focused Thank you for your advice, Mr. Ibushi. I'll make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid getting stuck by the sugarcane sap.
OrchidAnguish
time skips and jade finally finished clearing all the brush away and comes back for the nearly empty water jug
breathing heavily, exhausted from her hard work, she returns with the nearly empty water jug Mr. Ibushi, I'm back with the water jug.
OrchidAnguish

smiling brightly Thank you so much, Mr. Ibushi. I'm really grateful for this opportunity.
