Stephanie had another question on her mind. If they were her real mother and grandmother what were they hiding from or who were they hiding from? She wanted to read more but she needed to get to bed to be able to get up early and go job hunting.
The next morning Stephanie was up and showered and took her little golf cart into town using the back road. She knew old man Wilson would let her hook the cart up to an electric charger in his garage for the day.
She didn't want to borrow another car until she had the money to buy another car. She prayed that she would get another job soon. The donut shop just across from old man Wilson's garage had a help wanted sign in their window. So did the laundry matt next to it.
Both places was owned by a widow Mrs. Ruth Gibson She saw Mrs. Gibson sitting at a little table with a clipboard full of applications. She waved at her while crossing the street. Stephanie approached Mrs. Gibson and told her she was looking for a job.
Mrs. Gibson sighed a breath of relief and said God has just answered my prayers. sweetheart I could use you for both places. You work here in the mornings then the laundry when this shop closes at noon. I enjoy eating your cream beef and biscuits at church on the fourth Sunday of the month.
Then she asked can you start today. Stephanie nodded her head and said I sure can. and I'll be here six o'clock every morning on the dot. Every one in town really like hard workers like Stephanie. Stephanie informed her I can work in the laundry today if you need me to.
She used the donut shop's phone to let her grandmother she was working and would be home around seven that evening. When old man Wilson came over at eleven thirty to eat Stephanie asked if it was alright to pick up her golf cart around six thirty. he told her that would be fine.
He had a used car that he fixed up for sale then the owner decide they didn't want to spend that money on fixing the car and went to the car dealership instead signing their old car over to Old man Wilson for the work he did on it.
Stephanie only started working for Mrs. Gibson when she saw the same man that wouldn't quit hounding her and left the photo of a bridge on her car. He was walking around that end of the town. She wondered if he was stalking her.
