Lessons From Mila: Don’t
Trust Anyone
MILA
“I’m sorry, Mila, I’m going to have to let you go.”
And you couldn’t have told me before I worked my entire shift?
Standing in the back office of a sleazy hotel, I looked at my even sleazier
shift manager—or former shift manager. My thoughts raced as I tried to
figure out what I’d done.
Nothing.
I’d done absolutely nothing to warrant getting fired.
Like always, I’d gotten to work at four in the morning, had spent the day
busting my ass, and I was still there at nearly two even though my shift
technically ended at noon.
And I was being fired.
It wasn’t layoffs for budgetary reasons—I’d be the last person they’d let go.
Not because of my dazzling personality or anything. It was just common
sense. I did the work of multiple people, and I did it without a shitty
attitude. I never stole from rooms, I kept my head down, and my eyes
stayed on my own business. That was more than could be said for anyone
else—Todd included.
“Why?” I asked.
But then I saw it. The grimace. The way he looked at me with a mix of pity,
disdain, and the usual lust.
The way history loved to repeat itself.
“Veronica.”
And there it is.
Veronica Rogers.
Con-woman.
Narcissist.
Professional hot mess.
And my mother—though I was forbidden from calling her that. The fact we
didn’t share a last name made it all the easier for her to pretend she wasn’t
old enough to have an adult daughter.
Not until she needed something.
“She came by when you were on break,” he continued. “Steve was here,
and we had guests in the lobby when she made a scene.”
Of course, she did. And of course, she did it while the general manager was
here.
I didn’t ask why he hadn’t said anything when I’d clocked back in earlier.
Why he hadn’t sent someone to come get me since they all knew where I
took my break. Why he hadn’t given me the chance to talk to Steve or fix
things.
Because there was no fixing it. I’d already received that warning.
“That’s not my fault,” I tried anyway, but even I heard the resignation in my
tone.
Although I had nothing to do with the chaos she caused, my mother was
more drama than I was worth.
Story of my damn life.
“My hands are tied,” Todd said. “This came from Steve.”
It wasn’t like cleaning a scuzzy, outdated hotel was my dream job. I could
happily live without the smell of mold, dust, and body odor that hung in the
air and clung to the walls and furniture.
I couldn’t, however, happily live without food. And food cost money.
As did my shitty apartment, electricity, and basically everything else in life.
Dejected, I bit back the load of insults I wanted to spew and focused on the
important thing. “Can I get my check, at least?”
“We’ll mail your final one in two weeks.”
“What about today’s?”
But, again, I already knew. Dread filled me, tightening my chest until I
thought I was dying.
No lie.
