Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty

“Not anymore you don’t. You’re out of here.” Lamar said.

Savannah paled and stared at him as panic rolled through her chest. “You’re firing me?” she asked, dreading his reply.

“You walked out yesterday during our busiest time. No word, no nothing. You didn’t come back. What the hell did you expect? And now you’re back here this morning and I have a diner full of pissed-off customers because you don’t have your head on right. You did the same thing two weeks ago and I decided to ignore that.” Lamar hissed.

She took a deep breath and tried to steady her nerves. “Please Lamar, I need this job. Yesterday… Yesterday I got sick, okay? It won’t happen again.” She said.

“Damn right it won’t. I never should have hired you back in the first place.” He curled his lip in disgust. “If I hadn’t needed a waitress so desperately, I would have never hired you back to begin with.”
