Thread: No Turning Back (Alvis Alendran&SHARPii)

A small smile came over her face when he once more told her that she owed him nothing. She was immensely grateful and wouldnt stop to let him know that, just because it was how she was. She was modest, stubborn hen it came to some help since she didnt want to put anyone out and often thought of herself as a burden. Considering the way she grew up though and having always feared of being a burden or never wanting to come off as overly confidenti.e. conceitedshe made sure that she didnt turn that way and became who she was. Still though, at least it was nice to know that help could be offered to those who asked for it, someone like her even if she didnt ask for it. But she was grateful and quite accepting of it. She needed it if she did. Though she was hoping that it would just blow over. She wanted to find Abbys killer and bring them to justice, figure out why it happened and she would put herself into it completely to find the answers. Though she had a feeling not to tell Mr. Trenton about that. Again, thank you. Looking down at her drink, she moved her hand to it and wrapped her fingers around it and lifted it up to take a sip. Because it was actually so delicious, Esther took more than sip, nearly downing the entire thing. She had maybe a shot left in the glass when she put it back down, a soft sigh coming from her as the amber liquid trailed down her throat, she relishing in that wonderful burning feeling. Looking at him, a brow raised and she tilted her head. Was he really wanting to get into the specifics of her job? Almost four years. I started after I graduated. Apparently there is no demand for English teachers in the area. So Im SOL, so to speak. She shrugged. Ive been working here though since I was eighteen. Helps to be able to live a little bit. She nodded before picking up her glass again to finish it but was halted when he offered that position. She blinked her eyes quickly before setting it down and clearing her throat. As much as I really do appreciate that Mr. Trenton, I dont think I am at all qualified for that. Im certified in teaching, not file processing. And being a runner is not rocket science. She said softly. That and she had a feeling she just might fail if she was put to that. She often kept lower expectations for herself because it was easier to accomplish them then to dream bigger. She didnt want to be a failure. It wasnt an option. Although seeking out Abbys killer and bringing her to justice seemed to be a pretty high achievement and goal for her, but one she was determined to do more than getting a teaching job any time soon. Which said something. Honestly, you dont need to do anything more for me sir. She knocked back the rest of the glass before setting it down and standing. Youve done more than enough. Honestly. Walking to the bar, she handed the glass to John and he raised a brow at her. Esther simply shook her head before leaning over to kiss his cheek. Have a good one. And make Mindy like me. She whispered. He laughed. You know thatll never happen. She shrugged. Bye John. See ya, girlie. He waved and she turned to wave back at him before walking back to Harrison. Shall we? Im sure youve got a big day tomorrow. As do I. Otherwise Bree will chew me up and spit me out again for being late. Oh yes, she had ever intention to go to work. Nothing would stop her, not this ticking time bomb.
