"• NEW YORK 6:40 AM •"
"• Today I woke up a little earlier, incredibly, I didn't have my nightmares that occurred daily, today is just another day, nothing new or interesting, I get out of bed, and put on my slippers, and go straight to the bathroom, to pee and do all my personal hygiene, like brushing my teeth and washing my face, and right after that, I go straight to the shower, you must be wondering Amelia, why don't you do this in the shower already, I know, I've had this habit since I was a little girl, it's what my mother taught me, so when I finish the shower I wrap myself in the towel and go back to my room, taking a set of white lingerie, and my waitress uniform, as soon as I look at myself, I put my hair up in a totally neat bun, put on my sunscreen and a light floral cologne, and leave the room and start down the stairs, as soon as I set foot on the last step I smell coffee coming towards me, I run to the kitchen, as soon as I see Liz I smile and then I see that she's distracted so I speak up."
Amelia • Good morning, flower of the day.
"• I look at Luz who immediately jumps in fright and puts her hands on her chest, signaling a small fright, I end up laughing at the situation."
Liz • Good morning Amelia, I don't see any humor in you scaring me.
"• I raise my hand in surrender."
Amelia • I'm sorry Liz, it wasn't my intention to scare you, so tell me how was work?
"• Liz sighs heavily, and walks towards the table and Amelia follows her, sitting beside her friend and soon hears her answer her question."
Liz • It was a totally tiring and stressful day, my boss is very polite, but behind that pretty face, there's a womanizer, you'd believe that yesterday, a totally vulgar woman went there, looking for Mr. Dante, she was totally hostile to me, as if she were the owner of the company.
"• Amelia listens to her friend vent and presses her lips together trying not to laugh, realizing the way her friend spoke, in a jealous tone."
Amelia • My friend, it's normal, there will always be these kinds of people, especially since your boss is a man who doesn't settle down with just one woman, anyway, friend, I'm going because I don't want to be late, kisses.
"• Amelia runs out of her house, then goes to her work, which was in a diner near the big companies, as soon as she gets out of the cab, she looks at her watch and realizes she's late due to the traffic she hit, she starts running and ends up bumping into someone, who makes her lose her balance and fall on the sidewalk, she gets up, and pats the uniform that was a little dirty, but then she hears someone's voice speaking."
• Watch where you're going, girl.
"• As soon as Amelia heard the deep voice, which made all the hairs on her body stand on end, she looked at the man in front of her with a totally neutral expression, and looked him up and down until she reached his beautiful blue eyes."
Amelia • I'm sorry sir, it wasn't my intention to bump into you, I'm just late for work.
"• Amelia just ran back, arriving 5 minutes late, her co-worker Dalia as soon as she saw her, gave her a slight smile."
Dalia • You're late, Miss Amelia
Amelia • I know, I'm sorry, I had a little accident, I ran into a wall of muscle, which knocked me down, anyway, I'm going to work, before your father fires me.
"• Dalia laughs at the way Amelia speaks, and follows to help her with the tables, Amelia starts serving the tables, the restaurant starts to fill up and the two waitresses work non-stop, around 12:00, Amelia stops and goes to the bathroom and as soon as she comes back, she takes a 15 minute break to eat, as soon as she sees Dalia the two start talking and laughing, after 15 minutes they go back to their tasks, while Amelia takes the order from table 5, she sees Dalia coming towards her distraught, she watches the girl without understanding anything."
Dalia • Amelia, that's Bernardo Bittencourt, one of the most important CEOs, go and assist him, please, before I have a heart attack.
Amelia • Okay, I'll go there, miss, be careful with the heart attack.
Dalia • Stop being silly, girl.
"• Amelia leaves Dalia there, laughing at the brief conversation they had, and goes to the table where Bernardo is, but to her surprise it was the same man, whom she had bumped into in the morning, as soon as she gets closer."
Amelia • Good afternoon, what will you have?
Bernardo • I can't believe I ran into you again, the girl who almost knocked me to the ground.
"• Amelia, embarrassed by the incident, gives a shy smile without showing her teeth."
Amelia • I'm sorry sir, no, this won't happen again, it wasn't intentional, anyway, have you chosen?
Bernardo • We have, I'll have rice, beans, filet mignon and a salad, and a white wine, and you Dante, what will you eat?
Dante • You can bring me the same as him, please.
"• Amelia goes to prepare the orders totally embarrassed, and after 5 minutes returns with the orders, delivering them to the customers, after almost 1 hour, Amelia sat down, as soon as she sits down at the counter, she smells a woody smell entering her nostrils, then she realizes that Bernardo is beside her, looking her up and down, leaving her completely embarrassed, he pays the bill and asks Dalia where her father is, she guides him down a hallway to his room, and before Dalia leaves, he asks Amelia's name, and then he leaves, and tells Amelia, 30 minutes later he leaves the diner, and the day went very well, until the end of her shift."
Arnaldo • Amelia, I need to talk to you, follow me, please.
"• Amelia went to her boss's office, he immediately told her to sit down, she saw him sitting down and then placing his hand on the table, using it as a support for his head."
Arnaldo • Well, Amelia, I called you here to tell you that I'm going to have to let you go, because I can't afford to keep all the employees, I'm downsizing as much as I can, you're an excellent employee, but don't take it personally.
Amelia • But sir. Before she could speak, he interrupted her.
Arnaldo • No buts, Amelia, I don't go back on my word.
Amelia • Okay.
"• Amelia comes out of there devastated, and immediately picks up her things and says goodbye to everyone, and goes home, thinking about how she would support herself now, inside the cab she was crying, as soon as she arrived at her building, she went up the stairs and went straight to her room, since Liz hadn't arrived from work yet, she took a shower and ate something and then lay down and went to sleep."
