4.1 Big Girl Job

Lexi played with Mr. Chrisman's business card in her hands. She'd had no luck finding a job so far and this was her last option.

Currently, Layla paid Lexi to babysit Joseph but Lexi knew she would have to get a real job sooner or later.

She dialed the number on the card and waited through the rings. "Bernard Chrisman." Lexi's voice was frozen. "Hello?" "Mr. Chrisman?" Lexi spoke quietly but confidently into the phone, "It's Lexi, from the park."
"Ah, the teen with the spunk. Let me guess, your calling to take me up on that offer."
"Yes sir."
"Well I've actually just filled it but," he lingers on the word, "I may have an opening. It will at least get you a foot in the door."

At this point, Lexi would take anything.

Hours later Mr. Chrisman returned her call. "Alexis?"
"Yes sir?"
"I can have you on as a stage hand. You start Tuesday."

Let down that she wouldn't be making any music any time soon, Lexi hung up the phone.
