This choice: she doesn't, and so begins her great soaking fattening run across town for a job • Go Back...
Chapter #5
Soaked

"Crap!" Laurie cursed as she reached into her purse and discovered she had spent the last of her money last night. Getting a taxi was out of the question, and she didn't have time to wait for a bus, even if she could have afforded the full fare. She had no umbrella or any kind of waterproof clothing, so she resigned herself to making the run across town. With no time to lose, she stepped into the pouring rain and hurried as fast as she could.
Unfortunately, the high heels she had chosen to wear, combined with her tight skirt, restricted her movements somewhat. She knew she must have looked quite ridiculous, trying to run but only managing a girly sort of shuffle as her heels clacked against the wet pavement.

The cleavage exposing top she had chosen didn't do her any favors now either, merely causing the rain to flow quickly between her breasts and soak her entire chest.
By the time she had gotten across town, she knew it was too late. Her twenty minute time limit had expire, and it had taken her at least twice that long to get to the interview. Her hair was soaking wet and plastered to her face, her clothes dripping puddles of water on the floor and her shoes squelching as she walked to the reception desk.
"Laurie Daniels..." she sighed, slapping her bag on the desk so hard it caused water to splash into the receptionists face.
The receptionist frowned, wiped her face and shook her head. "You're late. The interviews are over. Next time, Miss Daniels, I suggest you get here on time."
Laurie growled to herself and walked away. "Bitch..." she muttered under her breath. She couldn't believe it, all that effort for nothing. All she was get from today was a ruined suit and, most likely, a cold. She spotted a bathroom near the exit, and decided she could at least try and dry herself off a little before she left...
