“Stephanie, why are you putting so many items on the order list?” A voice called out from the back of the shop. It was Maggie, Stephanie’s employee who was in charge of purchasing at her store.
“Because.. summer is coming up and we’ll need to be ready.” Stephanie replied, slightly annoyed.
“Sure..” Said Maggie. “It’s just you ordered the 1200 pack of magic erasers. And we go through maybe 250 of those erasers in a year..”
“I noticed a spike in eraser sales last month and..” Stephanie paused. “You know, I don’t need to explain how I run my business to you.”
Maggie waited a minute to respond. “Sure, that’s fair, but also what are we going to do with this other 1800 pack of..” She stopped talking suddenly and cocked her head “Wait a minute. This wouldn’t be a ploy to get that cute delivery boy to come by sooner would it?” She said with a snarky tone.
“What?? Don’t be absurd. Just put the order in.” Stephanie turned and walked back to the front of the shop in a huff.
It HAD been three whole weeks since Stephanie’s steamy encounter with their new delivery driver, Blake. She hadn’t told anyone about it, but he was already the talk of the shop, after only two visits. Stephanie had missed him the second time, and Maggie accepted that order.
“You know he asked about you at least 15 times!” Maggie called out again.
Stephanie threw her a sarcastic thumbs up and went back to work.
