That's pathetic.
He's looming over my shoulder as I bring up my deposit on my bank app to show him. I got my first paycheque.
I was really proud. I made almost five hundred dollars. And that doesn't even include the tips I brought home each afternoon.
Just end this farce. I'll top up your account daily, if you like the thrill of it. It'll be far more, however.
You've missed the point.
Oh, I don't believe I have. It's been several weeks, Bridget. I think we should stop talking about ghosts and go back to talking about you putting in your resignation, or whatever a job like that requires. I have people who know the provincial labour code if you need advisemen-
I'm not quitting.
You're digging yourself a hole for what? Pocket change?
I'm trying to become a better person.
You're already the best person, Neamhchiontach. You've brought life to this point, to the people on it and we miss you dearly while you're gone. I'm watching you throw yourself into one hole after another on a daily basis all the while ignoring the terms of our settlement.
My pay doesn't even cover the cellphone bill so if you're worried about supporting me I'm pretty sure you still are.
So why continue?
I told you a hundred times over already.
He looks down for a moment and then back to me. His face is soft but his eyes are hard. I think it's time to quit now, Neamhchiontach. It's phrased as a gentle suggestion but it's very clear.
I told you it's none of your business. And the second restaurant is busier and less friendly, just to turn your screws.
Good, Batman can buy that too.
The owner isn't selling it.
Anyone can be bought.
See, I thought you were learning the opposite of that. For some people out there, money isn't their endgame.
Money is the only end game.
So by that logic you're complete?
You're easier when you're mute.
You're easier when you go away, Diabhal.
This wasn't meant to be a conversation where you break my heart, Bridget.
Hey, it's the club we run here.
How do I make you understand this is so very temporary you won't have time to get your apron dirty?
Unless you lock me in a room I'm working for the time being, and I'll decide when I stop.
I didn't want to resort back to force but as you've reminded me, it's the only way to get you to do anything, isn't it?
