"I asked him if he believed in love. He smiled and said it was his most elaborate method of self-harm"
-Benedict Smith
Venue- A small flower shop in the city
Emris
I am getting FIRED?!
Owner of Shop
Boy I know you are having a tough time
Owner of Shop
But we all are having a tough time, and it's the season for layoffs and such you know..... *sighs*
Emris
But I- I need more time! This is too sudden
Owner of Shop
*places his hands on his forehead* you can't squander your life playing with flowers like this anyways. You don't have a debt or anything, just go find a new job within a month
Owner of Shop
Most owners don't give so much time before firing anyways. Stop wasting both of our time and just get a job somewhere else
Emris
*slumps against the wall after the owner leaves*
Why today of all days....not like it would have been better if he fired me some other day
Emris
But today's the day that I....
Emris
*buries his head in his hands* I wanna go home
Emris
But I haven't been able to....since years
Emris
Wrex? I don't want to talk with anybody now *cuts the call*
*phone rings again and again continuously until Emris is frustrated and takes up the call*
Emris
Ahh! Everything's going bad in my life! Why does he have to call me so much!
Emris
*picks up the call* Wrex I don't want to talk with you right now, I'm really-
???
Is this Emris Hawthorne from Blossom Boutique? I saw your post on Linsta.....oh well it looks like you are going through a rough patch. Should I call later?
Emris
*checks the caller number again, his face flushing when he realized the truth*
Emris
Ahhh! No, no I am sorry. I was...uhh... just talking with my friend and didn't realize the call was running
???
*chuckles* I see. Well I am calling from Caelum Art Space
???
I liked your works on Linsta and want to organize a little event tomorrow
???
Can you come today? I don't really need much, just want to decorate around a few plant specimens and some flower ornaments
Emris
(Caelum Art Space? That's a million-dollar company's art branch, isn't it? Caelum&Co stepped into the art field the last year only, and they are already making the large figures)
Emris
(I heard their art extension is managed by an outsider of the family though? Well what does that matter to me. If an opportunity as good as this comes to me on such a bleak day, I must grab it!)
Emris
Of course I can, miss. I will reach by evening 5pm, is that alright?
???
That works. Due to some offical work, I won't be able to meet you before 7 but my assistant will try her best to guide you through the process. We can decide the details at the venue, thanks for accepting my impromptu request
Emris
Oh please! it's an honour to able to work with a prestigious organization like yours
???
Thanks for your time *cuts the call*
Emris
*Smiles and jumps up* YESSSSSS!
Emris
When one door closes, another opens huh?
Emris
Oh well wait; I never asked who she was
Emris
*flings his phone* not that it matters
