My lovely trainee

Oh, damn it! I am not going to miss the chance to being friends with this Blondie! He's too cute and lively for that!

"That's right! You're the one robin interviewed yesterday, Mathew's replacement, Ashton Simmons! I really don't want to be rude but I have no extra hand, both of them are crashing under these unholy books!"

I said with a friendly face and he withdrew his hands with a chuckle." good point!"

I nodded with a bright smile then looked at my black skinny jeans with disappointment..." hey, can you fish out my keys for me?"

"Yeah yeah, of course. Where is it?"

I turned to him a little so he could take my keys out of my pocket. "It's in my left pocket, the upper one."

When he reached for my keys I took a step back unintentionally and my sudden movements sent his brows up to his hair!

"Um...what happened?"

I laughed with embarrassment and shook my head. Why I always acting like an imbecile? God? You can take me now!

"Not at all, I'm sorry! I just don't like it when people touch me suddenly. if you just take some of my books, then I can..."

He didn't even let me finish my sentence and grabbed the rest of the books like it was nothing! I lifted my head a little and stared at him as if he wasn't holding twenty-two books with an average of 3000 pages, in his arms! Well...maybe my arms were a little weak...or like a lot? Ok...they were slender like my chicken legs. I was only gifted in the ass department!

I quickly pulled out my keys and opened the main door. "Alright, you can put the books on that table. The first-floor crew going to be here any minute, they will take care of it. Let's get to work."

He did as I told him and jogged a little so he could walk beside me. "Which floor we will be working on?

"Third floor, men clothing. Don't worry, after a couple of days you'll going to know your way around here."

When he stepped into the elevator after me I pushed the third-floor button. When we got out of the elevator I went straight towards the staff's locker room to put away my school bag and he followed me like a duckling!

"I want to work with you!"

I raised my brows and smirked...everyone wants me, honey!" it is true that after Robin I'm the best seller in this store, but your work as my intern only takes two weeks. After that, you have to be behind your counter. You'll be on your own after that"

He truly looked disappointed and that made me smile. He likes me, nice!

"I know that. I just want the perfect mentor so I can start with a perfect foundation!"

I glanced at him briefly and nodded with a pleased smile. Fair enough! "Ok then. Let's have a tour around here. This is our floor and we are responsible for everything related to this floor. There are four main sellers here, except me. Clara, Sam, Stan, and Joana. They are kind, loyal, and nice. Clara is the purest and kindest girl I have ever seen and this will last as long as you stay away from her food. If you cross her territory she will turn into a monster that only breathes for shedding blood! So don't go near her food! Sam…he is the master of harassment! He likes to tease his coworkers a lot but he doesn't mean anything bad. He's a great boy and very fun to be around. Stan is very short-tempered and has a sharp tongue but he is cool and calm if you don't provoke him to. Last but not least, Joana! She is the mom of our group because she's older than the rest of us. Sometimes her nagging gets a little annoying but it is totally worth it!"

I looked at him with a big smile but it just made him more confused!

"I don't get it! Why would you like it when she nags you all the time?"

I smiled even bigger and tapped my belly!" warm free food buddy, warm free food!"

When I mentioned the warm free food he immediately nodded with pure satisfaction, then gave me a super bright smile!" I'm going to love it here...I just know it! By the way...aren't we a little short on staff? I feel like the night-time here going to be so crowded. Right?"

"Absolutely! I think the same. Such a big floor like this, needs more staff, especially on nights like this that we have rare clean weather. From what I've seen before, the rich kids love to spoil themselves with good expensive shopping in weather like this! Puff... If I had the money I would've went to shopping only on rainy and smoggy days just to piss them off! Whatever! What's the main point here? You'll be screwed tonight Ashton, prepare yourself!"

I tapped his back with a toothy smile but he just saluted me with a big grin!" yes sir!"

I chuckled at his eagerness then I went back to the locker room. I doubt he will be this energetic when our shift ends!

When I was done I joined him in the sports section. He was checking out our new sport shirts when he noticed me and he stared at me surprised "why did you change your clothes?"

I glanced at my grey set and felt the soft texture. it was so soft and comfy and expensive indeed!" it's kind of marketing...I wear a new set every night for drawing attention to our new goods."

"Does it work?"

he asked me with such a serious face and tone that it almost made me laugh!" it appears to that it does!"

When I caught his gaze I faked a frown and slapped him on the back of his neck!" what are you staring at?"

He panicked and rubbed his neck nervously... He looked like a kid that was caught by his mom with a forbidden candy in his mouth!

"I'm so sorry! I didn't...I didn't mean to! but…well...well your body..."

With that, I finally lost my control and laughed devilishly! The poor thing was pale and red at the same time!" don't push yourself, buddy! My body shape is the main reason for the store to use me as a model. I get nasty stares all the time, at least I can make some money with it along the way!"

"Wow! You're getting paid for this? "He asked me amazed and got excited quickly!

"Nope! Even better, I get to keep them! It's a huge help with living expenses! Ok, enough talking...let's get down to business!"

"Yes, boss!"

I sorted everything out with his help then I explained the basis for him till the opening of the store. When the rest of the group arrived, Ashton greeted them with the same energy and they liked him immediately! Except for Stan...he doesn't like anyone!

"Wow! You're great! I think that was the eighth set that you sold off of the set that you're wearing!"

"It's not that difficult! In fact, the customers are doing the main job! At first, they ogle on me, mostly on my ass, and then their imagination tricks them into thinking that they're going to look as good as me in this outfit and at the end, their insatiable need for being seen convinces them to buy it, that is all!" I explained with a proud grin. He looked like a mesmerized kitten!

"You're the best seller I've ever seen. You're polite, you're kind and super convincing!"

I nodded and glanced at the crowded floor "then you've never seen Robin in action. She's a beast in this job!"

He almost bounced on his heels like a puppy to control his excitement! I really wanted to take him home with me, he was so cute!

"I bet you're her best student!"

"Put the betting aside for later...for now, can you see that young man on the left with a green hoodie? He is a usual customer. Go and see what does he needs!" I said it with a toothy smile! I always loved to keep my training exciting! And as I thought he panicked and tried to make a run for it but I grabbed his sleeve and kept him close to me!

"I can't do it! It's my first training day!"

"Come on! Don't panic. Just take a deep breath and go. I am right here if you needed me."

I forcefully stopped my laughter when I saw his face when he greeted Mr. Burgundy. I could bet, he peed himself a little! Oh god... I'm going to have so much fun tonight!
