Chapter 二

Sighing, I turn around again and walk towards my red scooter. As I said before, this is a daily routine for me. This is yet another customer who isn't satisfied and is going to threaten to call my boss and blah blah blah. Sometimes I think to myself, how long on earth can I keep this up?! My life really couldn't be any more miserable than it already is. Once I get back to my scooter, I see a little cat's head pop out of the back of my scooter. "Hey, Lee!" I say to my little feline friend. Lee is my little black tuxedo cat and my very best friend, and I got him from my mother two years ago for my 22nd birthday. She had found Lee by chance in a garbage bag on the side of the road when she went outside to take out the trash, wheelchair and all. He looked awful; it was so sad! He was completely wild, his hair was sticking out in all directions, there were knots and tangles everywhere, he could barely wash himself, because he was sticky on all sides. My mother felt so sorry for him that, thank God, she took him home and then managed to clean him completely on her own! Don't ask me how, but she succeeded! And my birthday happened to be coming up at the time, and since all our money goes to rent and fixed expenses, she hadn't been able to buy me a present yet. I didn't hold it against her. In fact, I have never held it against her. After all, I don't know any better. I have actually never really received a birthday present. And of course, my mother couldn't help that at all. But anyway, long story short: when the big day finally arrived (meant sarcastically, of course, because I don't give a damn about my birthday), she stood next to my bed in her wheelchair early in the morning and woke me up, after which I looked directly into two very large brown tubes. I was instantly completely sold: Lee was the cutest and sweetest little creature I had ever seen! I have always had a huge soft spot for cats, and for all animals in general, but this was truly on another level. It immediately felt like I was standing face to face with my soulmate, my other half, my buddy for life! My little friend, who would go everywhere with me and would never, ever leave me. My buddy in sickness and in health, and that is exactly how it turned out. Because to this day, I haven't felt alone for a single second since Lee came into my life. He truly means everything to me, and I to him! I had left the trunk of my scooter slightly ajar with a small metal stick so that Lee could always get out should he feel the need. Sometimes I also put him in my bag. You are probably thinking right now: what kind of weird chick is this?! She puts her own cat in the trunk of her scooter and takes him along in her own bag! Yes, that is right! Because I make sure Lee gets optimal comfort, both in the trunk of my scooter and in my bag. The trunk is actually full of small cat cushions and contains all kinds of cat toys and cat treats, plus I always make sure that I am not too Ride fast for Lee. And the same goes for my bag. My bag is made of super soft, comfortable fabric, and what's more, it's big enough for Lee in terms of space. Yes, my little friend is my everything! And how did I get that red scooter, by the way? I got it from work, or rather, I borrowed it from work to deliver pizzas. My contract only expires when I decide to leave, and then, of course, I have to return the scooter to my boss. Did I tell you about my boss yet, by the way? No? Well, here it is then: my boss is the biggest asshole on the planet. I can't imagine anyone as sexist and money-driven as he is. I can only describe him as a huge money-grubber. I happen to be, and at the same time unfortunately, the only girl on the team, which means I fall prey to all his sexist remarks and jokes every single time. I'm not going to repeat them all now and explain them in detail, because I'll go crazy by the end of the evening!
