Trouble?

Erica plastered a smile on her face as she turned to help the customer. "Let's take a look..." she started saying as she finally realized who it was that had come up to her register. "Carrie!?" The girl just grinned mischievously. "What are you doing here?"

"Is that how employees here greet their valued customers?"

"What?" Erica replied dumbly.

Carrie leaned in over the counter, bringing her face closer to Erica's. "Do I need to ask for the manager to come over?"

"NO! Please don't," Erica pleaded. She didn't want to risk having negative customer feedback in her file. "You said you wanted a price check?"

Carrie laughed. "I just wanted to get your attention. You weren't answering your phone."

After glancing down to where her purse (and cell phone) were sitting, Erica responded. "I'm working... We're not supposed to use our phone during our shifts. Why did you want to get my attention?"

Carrie tilted her head and shrugged. "I was bored. Wanted to see you. Maybe play with you a little bit."

"I... I'm... I'm working!" Erica whisper hissed. "You're going to get me in trouble!"

Undeterred, Carrie moved in even closer, whispering into Erica's ear, "Only if we get caught."
