Staring at the monitor of her screen, Stevie was starting to regret her decision to come in today. A couple of days ago she'd had such a fun day with Kim, shopped all afternoon and laughed like she hadn't done in such a long time, yet she had felt guilty about lying to Tom.
Tom had always been good to her since she started working for him and she felt like she owed him something but the last week had been such a whirlwind, there was no way she was going to be able to return to her job in Tom's office after everything she'd done but she had no idea how she was going to tell Tom.
Suddenly snapped out of her thoughts, she looked up as she heard Tom shouting, "Stevie, can you come in here please."
Her heart rate felt like it doubled in an instant, Stevie's cheeks flushed as she took a breath and rose up from her seat, fixing her skirt she slowly walked into Toms office smiling at him as she saw him sat behind his desk, looking as good as ever in a tight fitting shirt smiling up at her, "Take a seat Stevie."
Sitting down opposite him, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her skirt nervously, trying to act normal but Stevie's heart rate was anything but normal as she tried to figure out how she was going to have this conversation, she looked up at Tom as he asked, "How you feeling? Better?"
Smiling, relaxing a little at his question, Stevie nodded, "Yeah, much better thanks, sorry about being off."
Looking at her with a look of concern, Tom continued, "You don't need to be sorry, we all get sick, just glad to have you back."
Seeing this as her opportunity, Stevie knew it was now or never as she responded, "Well, about that."
Lifting his head from the paperwork on his desk, Tom looked over at Stevie, "What about what?"
Feeling her cheeks burning red once again Stevie took a breath, "About me being back, I, er, this is going to be my last day."
The look of shock on Tom's face was clearly visible as he looked at her, "What do you mean it's your last day?"
Knowing she was committed now, her head lowered, Stevie continued, "I, er, I've been offered another job, and well, I've accepted it."
Still unable to look up at him Stevie could imagine his face as she listened, "What do you mean, you've accepted it, you can't just leave, we've got too much on for you to leave now."
She knew he was right but she knew if she stayed then she might never get out, her head still lowered as she spoke, "I've made my mind up Tom."
Her heart rate had picked up once more as she waited to hear what Tom would say next, looking up at him as she heard his next statement, "Well if that's what you want, don't wait, you can get out now!"
Stevie looked at him in shock, the friendly, handsome boss she had always liked, now had a look of anger on his face that she had never seen before. The boss that she'd felt guilt lying to had just kicked her out of the office. She slowly got up from her seat, not sure what to say, half waiting for him to say something but he just looked away at his monitor.
Returning to her desk, she gathered up the few belongings she had on her desk and left without saying another word to anyone, she'd achieved what she wanted to that day but she didn't expect it to happen like this. She looked over at Tom's office once more before she left, hoping he might pop his head out and be friendly once more but he never did.
June 21st -- 12.01pm
Stepping back into her apartment, dropping her box of belongings from the office onto her small table, a sense of panic started to loom over Stevie. The reality that she had just quit her steady job to potentially become a porn star dawned on her. All the fun of her day with Kim seemed a lifetime away as the panic raced through her along with a million questions with the majority focussing on did pornstars earn enough for her to pay her rent. She raised her hands to cover her eyes as she realised she was referring to herself as a pornstar, how had this happened in just a week.
Pulling the covers back from her bed she climbed in, hoping the comfort of her bed would help her relax and stop thinking about what she had got herself into. Closing her eyes for a moment only to hear a ping, she popped her head out of her blanket and looked at her bedside table; her open laptop had just received a new email.
Hesitating for a moment, not wanting to move from her snug spot in her bed, she eventually reached over and pulled the laptop to her, minimizing the Dream Pictures window, still showing the video of herself and Kim, she clicked on the icon to open her email, her heart racing a little faster as she saw the sender was Evelyn.
Hi Stevie,
Hope you don't mind I got your personal email from your manager, or should I say ex-manager, I emailed your office but they confirmed you don't work there anymore.
