As she opened the door to the store room, Allyson could hear something which sounded like...chewing? She hoped it wasn't Rats or something...
Stepping into the room and closing the door behind her, she suddenly saw the cause of the noise. It was, surprisingly, Carla, who was currently tearing into a large industrial sized box of Expansive Gummy Bears and was surrounded by empty packets. Had she been...eating them all?
"Uh...Carla...you okay there?" Allyson asked, taking a nervous step towards her colleague, who looked like she was in some sort of trance. When Carla didn't reply, she stepped a little closer. "Carla..."
Carla was emptying entire packets of candy into her mouth, grabbing anything she could and tearing it open. She was nosily chewing down on some gummies when she finally seemed to realise she was no longer alone, and froze in her tracks. "Uh...hey...I'm just...doing inventory..."
"Sure you are," Allyson said, trying her best to ignore what she had just witnessed.
She walked past Carla and started to gather up what she needed to restock, ignoring the mess on the floor. She cast a glance down at her feet as she heard wrappers rustling, and realised that practically the entire room was covered with them. Just how much had Carla been eating in here?! For someone who spent her first day so ambivalent her surroundings, she sure seemed to be embracing her role now...
"Please don't tell anyone about this," Carla said, awkwardly cramming all of the empty wrappers back into one of the open boxes. "I only had a few...really!"
"I mean, maybe you shouldn't eat the product, are we even allowed to take samples from the store? Seems like something you could get fired for," Allyson said.
Carla looked very guilty. "I...I don't think we're supposed to but I just couldn't help myself. It's all so good! Maybe just one more..." She grabbed an open pack and upended the contents into her mouth.
Allyson rolled her eyes and returned to the task at hand, gathering up what she needed for the front of the store and side-stepping Carla, who looked like she was still considering continuing her candy binge. "You coming back now?" She asked.
"What? Oh uh...yeah...sure..." Carla said absent mindedly. She folded up the box she had crammed her rubbish into, shoved it under a shelf, and followed Allyson back out.
