“Yeah,” he chuckled lightly, turning his palms to the ceiling. “I called the main office when the truck got here, with almost nothing on it, but they said it’s out of their hands. We got what there is to be had. So,” he nodded at his favorite employee, “Give them your best smile, and do what you can.”

“Yes,” she cast her bright green eyes around at the others, a few of whom were staring at her. “We need to go, now, while we still can.”
Frowning he shook his head, “Maybe you need another night off,” he reached for her card to swipe it for her, and close her out of the drawer.
