The Storage Place

The following week pass by pretty normal and Shirley didn’t even have a dream, one day, Raymond called all of them into the conference room and hand out cell phone………………

Ray: this is the new kind of cell phone, we want to test it first before actually showing the public, therefore, I want each of you to take one and use it for 2 week and write a report about it, okay? Today’s Thursday, so…hand it in 2 weeks from now. Any question?

Shirley, Leila, Tavia, Matt, Sammul & other people: nope.

Ray: good, well, that’s all, you guys can leave and do what you need to do now *smile*

They all left.

Shirley: Leila, you need help?

Leila: nope, thanks Shirley.

Shirley: Tavia?

Tavia: nope, no need…

Matt: are you serious? You don’t have any work at all?

Sammul: maybe you didn’t know, she always finish her work ahead of time, unlike us……

Ray came out……

Ray: anyone not busy?

Shirley: uh……I’m not!

Ray: um…thanks Shirley, but I think you would rather not go to this place.

Shirley: why not? *frowning*

Ray: down in the storage place, they’re having a strike, it may be a bit violence.

Shirley: I’m not afraid, can I go? I promise I’ll be careful!

Ray: are you sure? What about Matt and Sam?

Shirley: I’m sure!

Matt & Sammul: sorry Ray, gotta do this!

Ray: *sigh* ok, Shirley, come with me then.

Shirley: ok *happy*

They left.

Leila & Tavia: *look at Sammul and Matt*

Sammul & Matt: what?

Leila & Tavia: coward!!!

Sammul & Matt: *look at each other* *then point at each other* they’re talking about you!

Down at the storage area, Nancy and Jack, the other two managers is already there.

Nancy: Ray, they wouldn’t listen to us!

Ray: *yelled* can everyone please calm down!

Jack: stop hitting things or else I’m gonna call the police *takes out his phone*

Ray: Jack, don’t……*realize Shirley’s missing* where’s Shirley?

Jack: who’s Shirley *look around* is that girl her?

They saw her holding her leg, they ran over…

Nancy: are you ok?

Ray: what happen?

Shirley: I try to run in and a guy bump into me and I bump into the wall, I think I sprain my ankle.

Jack: that’s it, I’m calling the police…

Ray: hang on, maybe there’s a way…

Jack: *yelled* a way??? They’re not even listening to us!

Shirley: Ray, help me get up that wooden box!

Ray: why?

Shirley: just do it!

They help her.

Shirley: *speak in Mandarin* *loud* please stop and listen, the boss want to tell you something.

They stop, Ray, Jack and Nancy was so surprise.

Shirley: ha, knew it, they only speak Mandarin, no wonder they didn’t listen to you *smile*
