Ask Tess

Arnold gulped as he peered out of the staff locker room and saw Tess still at the desk. “E-excuse me…” Arnold said. “T-there must be a mistake.”

Tess looked up from her computer and turned to Arnold. “Didn’t you see the small bag?”

Arnold nodded. “I-I did… b-but…”

“Then stop wasting time and put on your uniform,” Tess said. “I’m waiting for you to come out. Leave your clothes in the locker and come out in your uniform.”

“B-but…” Arnold said.

Tess rolled her eyes. “Do I have to come in there and dress you?”

“No!” Arnold yelled.

“Then hurry up or I’ll send someone in to help you.”

Arnold gulped as he ducked back inside. He didn’t see Tess with a big grin as she turned back to her computer. She couldn’t help but giggle. Of course she knew about the suit. That was the whole point. The job Arnold signed up for written in the fine print that he likely didn’t read.
