    Chapter 4–Book 3

    Rachel woke up to her rm clock going bonkers, her sister was pounding on her door and all she

    wanted to do was go back under the covers. She mmed her hand on the rm clock.

    “Ok, I getting up.”

    Her sister came into the room andnded on her bed.

    “Why were youtest night? I was getting worried but then you finally pulled up and I was able to fall

    asleep.

    Rachel wasn‘t sure how to answer this question, she still hadn‘t put it into perspective herself.

    “I had to work over. I didn‘t know about it till almost the end of my shift. I didn‘t call or text cause I

    figured you would be in bed already and I didn‘t want to wake you.”

    Anna stared at Rachel, it was a knowing look. Anna always could smell a lie. Anna shrugged though

    and went on to other topics. For which Rachel was grateful.

    After showering and getting ready for the day, Rachel was having her morning cup of coffee.

    Something that turned her from an autopilot robot to a functioning human.

    Today was Saturday so that meant that she only had her day job to go to today. She had grocery

    shopping to do but that was all, she had the rest of the evening and night off.

    She hated her day job, it was full of self–centered snobs that you had no

    choice but to be nice to and cater to their whims. All the while keeping a happy attitude and a smile.

    They do tip pretty well, well some of them. There was one woman who Rachel thought believed that

    the world should tip her for just being in it.

    Jessica Winchester was the spoiled rotten snob of the snob world. She was awful to everyone and

    anyone she considered beneath her.

    That is who she has to clean for today. If Rachel got lucky Miss Jessica Winchester wouldn‘t be in

    when she has to clean. That could also be a problem as well since one of Jessica‘s favorite things to

    do is use the staff of stealing, so she can get them fired. 2

    Anna was going over to the Johnsons, they were a family that lived in the next row over.

    Putting thest cup of coffee into her travel mug she was off to work. She decided that she would

    daydream about Mr. Archer, something to keep her mind from wanting to go homicidal on Miss

    Jessica.

    As soon as she got in and had all the supplies on her cart she knew it was going to be a shitty day. As

    she pushed her cart out of the elevator, she could hear the shrill sounds of a spoiled brat having a

    cow.

    Archer and August were gathering all the information they could find on Rachel Stevens. There wasn‘t

    much. Her name and address and the ces where she worked.

    She had a younger sister named Anna. That was about all they could

    find. They found a bank ount but that was mostly empty except for a few hundred dors.

    Archer was getting restless, he didn‘t want to be inside looking up

    information, he wanted to go get her drag her back to this apartment and keep her there. Solis stepped

    in after hearing that thought.

    “Whoa!! Caveman, I don‘t think that is the way you should approach our mate.”

    Archer groaned in frustration.

    August looked at him for a few minutes with nothing to say and then let out a sigh.

    “You are going to bepletely useless if you don‘t get out of here and go find her. So go and don‘t

    Archer didn‘t need to be told twice, he grabbed his keys and was out the door. On his way to the

    Waldorf Hotel, he hoped that she was working today, it would be a lot harder to exin things if he

    showed up at her home.

    Women usually don‘t like strange men knowing where they live.

    “Yeah, you are such a genius.”

    “Shut up, Solis.”

    Rachel was right it was a shitty day. Not only was Jessica in a snit she was in a royal snit. Rachel didn‘t

    hear the whole conversation, but it was about some well–to–do guy that stood her

    It sounded like to Rachel that Jessica

    had followed this guy here and thought that she was going to have him to herself. Instead, he ghosted

    her.

    As soon as Rachel was getting ready to knock on the door, as usual, the door flew open, and standing

    before Rachel was a very angry Jessica. She pointed at Rachel...

    “YOU, YOU STOLE MY NECKLACE, IT WAS WORTH MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER MAKE IN

    YOUR LIFETIME, IS THAT WHY YOU TOOK IT. I AM GOING TO GET YOUR MANAGER UP HERE

    RIGHT NOW!!!!!”

    Rachel just stared at her dumbfounded, she can‘t possibly think she could use her of taking the

    ne, she hadn‘t even been in the room yet.

    Still, she pulled her cart over to the end of the hall and waited for Nick

    the manager toe up and deal with this mess.

    Nick came up and Rachel could tell by the look on his face that he wasn‘t happy to be there. He went

    over to Jessica‘s room and tapped on the door.

    She answered in a fury, pointing over at Rachel and saying that she was to be fired immediately or she

    was never setting foot in this hotel ever again.

    Nick looked over at Rachel with a knowing grimace.

    After she was done screaming at Nick she mmed the door in his face. Nick, motioned for Rachel to

    follow him. She left the cart, someone would be along to take over.

    They walked back to his office in silence. Rachel had nned on getting another job after Anna

    graduated, still, she needed the

    ie right now, and being fired wasn‘t going to help with getting a new job.

    They sat down and he cleared his throat.

    “You are one of my best employees, I know there was no way that you could have stolen her

    ne.”

    “I watched you get into the elevator and knowing the schedule of how things are done, I know that you

    were just getting to her door when she had another one of her tantrums.”

    “However her father owns this hotel, I have no choice but to let you go. I will not fire you though, I will

    simply state that you gave your two week‘s notice and that today was thest

    day.”

    “I will make sure you are paid for the rest of today and your one-week

    vacation. I am sorry for this.”

    “I have tried in the past to just reassign my workers but she caught on to that and made it hell for them.

    I don‘t want anyone else to have to deal with that.”

    With that, Rachel walked out of the hotel in a daze. Well, she thought isn‘t this an interesting

    development. I have been wanting a whole day off and now I have one thanks to that

    bitch.

    Still, I am going to have to find a new job soon. Bills don‘t pay themselves. She sat alone in her car still

    in the hotel parking lot, she reached into her glove box and pulled out a snack size milky way.

    It was her secret stash she used for really bad days. She looked in there and found only one more left,

    well she thought that was telling.

    She heard a knock at her window and looked to see Amy looking back at her, she pointed to the

    passenger side of the car and Amy hopped inside.

    She emptied her pockets, they were full of the little choctes that they left for guests. Rachel started

    tough.

    “I heard what happened, that bitch how does she get away with it. Just for one day, I would like roles to

    be reversed and she can have a say of shit all to herself see how she likes it.”

    “Are you going to be ok, Rachel?”

    “I am going to be alright Amy, Nick gave me vacation pay and today‘s wages. He also put in my record

    that I was the one that was leaving and not being fired.”

    “Good ole Nick, I wish he would grow a pair.

    Rachel looked at Amy and they bothughed. Amy had been Rachel‘s friend since middle school. Amy

    knew everything that she had to go through. Amy was leaving in the fall for college and they wouldn‘t

    see each other much after that.

    So this was a special moment for them. Amy had to get back to work she was taking Rachel‘s ce.

    “Do you want me to short–sheet her bed, or mess around with her makeup? I don‘t mind getting fired.”

    Rachelughed again, she was going to miss Amy.

    “No, you don‘t have to stoop to her level. I will see you again soon, now go y nice with the viper.”

    With that Amy left her alone in the car feeling better about her situation than before.

    .

    Archer watched Rachel from his truck, she seemed upset sitting alone in her car. Just as he was about

    to go and see what was wrong, another woman came out and jumped into the car with her.

    They seemed friendly and before long Rachel wasughing and looking better than before. Whoever

    the woman was she managed to help out Rachel

    Archer watched as after the woman left, Rachel pulled out of the parking lot and drove off to the

    downtown district.

    “Stop being a creepy stalker and just go and talk to her already.”

    “Shut up, Solis.”

    Solis startedughing at that, as Archer followed Rachel to her next destination.
