Fundamental.

"Where's Ray?? You have any idea where's his whereabouts now??", voice came out in the dark.

"Hmmm... i'm not so sure too, i heard something about he's on leave and is now on his way back to his hometown." Tap! the tripped circuit switched on the light and illuminated the whole minimarket. Chelle is standing by the switch panel, pale like a bloodsucking vampire...

"What!? Why am i not informed of that?? So today's there's only two of us working??", JOshua bellowed in amazement.

"I'm most certain about that, by the way, had you counted the petty cash we had today?? is it three hundred??" Chelle said as she moodily pulled the ice-cream icebox out of the minimarket, displaying it on the corridor.

"Let me see..... One, Two, Three...." JOshua started flipping the ten bucks notes as CHelle continues on with her disorientated chatter.

"I'm sorry, i lost count, can you go somewhere else and talk to yourself??"

"Oops. sorry."

What is Ray doing now?? Joshua wondered as his gaze ran through the cashier counter. The note pasted on the Kit-kat rack is still very visible to him. Three big words : Joshua, Raymond, Michelle. One of the masterpiece of Chelle, he thinks as he opened the drawer which contained a lot of cash, and closed it once more. Boring. He start to get sloppy and weaved his own waking dream.....

*She crossed his mind??*
