We sit together a while longer until one waitress comes smiling towards Irene. Lady, the man has arrived, you can meet him now.

It’s almost evening, look what you’ve done to my friend! I speak out without controlling myself.

Hunter, be calm. This is my one-time opportunity for a job, don’t spoil things for me. She says with a stern countenance.

Are we coming? the waitress says, cutting in.

Yes. I am.

Irene, I am coming with you.

You are not, I would be back soon.

Please. Just for company.

Why Hunter. You seem to be a bother… I instantly read her mind now.

I’m nervous even now, how can I not desire to go with someone.

Please, I iterate. Knowing I will by all means win her consent.

Okay, I am allowing you to follow me because you waited with me for 5 hours. She says shrugging, someway somehow I know you have a good intention for me.

The waitress just taps her foot; looking at us.

Are they lovers?

I read the waitress mind. How could of all different thoughts in the world imagine us to be lovers.

Yes. Let’s leave now. I say, helping Irene to get up from her seat.

She is slightly taller lady than I. Also; she’s a blonde lady, while I’m just fair-in-complexion.

Together we walk to the manager’s office and the waitress leaves both of us to enter.

It is I who seeks a job here, Irene says out loud.

Interesting, shall we see!

The man is a tall looking man, with a husky voice quite biting to the ear.

I am impatient; I just want to know his thought, so I can know how I will help direct the interview.

In the end you’d not be a waitress. Don’t be deceived.

I read sillier thoughts than this, so I can restrain myself not throwing insults at that man.

At 21, I suffer much dirtier intents of people than this.

Mister, I also seek to work here. I finally say.

Why did you not say so earlier?

He does not know why, of course. I can’t make Irene have this waitress job, she may never end up doing; it’s unfair receiving a trickery like this. I’ll work out another job for her.

Sometimes, I openly destroy bad opportunities from coming people’s way; but sometimes too, when I know it would hurt the fellow really bad, I use underhand means to avoid the bad situations from happening in people’s lives.

Hunter, you must be joking! Irene yells. I knew you also wanted this job. There was something eerie about the way you were willing to stay with me for 5 hours.

I must have been wrong admiring this gentleman.

This thought from her pop into my mind, off-guard. I feel deeply hurt when my actions make people think wrongly of me. All the same, I know I have time at my side, and I can change matters for the better.

"Irene, I made my mind to ask for a job when I entered the
