Late
Chloe was going to be late. By several minutes, but still. If you
wanted to be taken seriously by a potential investor, you had to be
punctual for your very first meeting, no?
She had to get to the café on time… Somehow.
She dashed to the long mirror in the hallway, the clock above ticking her
precious time away.
Maybe if she skipped the sunscreen? That might save her 30 seconds, if
not a whole minute… No, no, no, protecting her face was a must. With her
pale skin and the heat wave, even the 15-minute walk to the café would be
enough to give her a ripe tomato look.
Perhaps if she forewent the hair-straightening? Yes, yes, that should cut
her preparation time by five-six minutes… But what would Shayla think
when she saw Chloe’s wild long hair sticking in various directions?
Investors didn’t trust with their money a person who couldn’t keep their
own hair in order, did they?
Shayla was a top client who loved Chloe’s hand-made jewelry to the
point where she wanted to invest in making the little business bigger. With a
professional-looking online shop and an assistant to deal with shipping and
customer service.
Chloe would finally have a proper workshop; no more hunching over the
foldable table in the corner of the living room. No more instruments, bits of
metal string, and beads all over the small apartment. She would be able to
quit her regular job as an accountant; enough with the boring numbers all
day and having only the nights and weekends for her true passion. Who
knew, Chloe just might have time for dating as well.
But as generous as Shayla was, she would expect a professional to show
up at their first in-person meeting ever. So, no skipping the hairdo. Chloe
had to at least tie her hair up. That should take her three minutes tops, right?
Wrong. She wrestled with her rebellious hair for seven. Whole. Minutes.
And then, to prove the universe was against her, Chloe couldn’t find her
small red purse, her ballet flats were missing from the shoe rack, and her
phone had vanished from the coffee table.
How could things just go missing in a one-bedroom apartment?!
Twelve minutes later, Chloe was miraculously ready to leave. Just a
quick glance in the mirror–
Her hair tie had gotten loose, wisps of hair flying free to the point where
she might as well have been in a whirlwind. Her necklace of felt beads was
so askew it was about to hang over her back soon. Her knee-long black
dress had developed a long wrinkle right above the hemline. One of her red
shoes had acquired a black smudge at the back.
Chloe sighed. She had what her mother liked to call, ‘the look of
someone sucked into the Black Portal and spat out at the other end of the
galaxy.’As usual. Why had Chloe expected things to go any different
today?
