Woo hoo! Two chapters in a single day :D. Once again, please R&R and enjoy the story!

"Ms. Daley, we cannot accept this." The secretary frowned at Stephanie. "You owe us too much money, so you have to pay it back soon. I'll be back in two weeks to collect the rent, as well as the debt you owe. And if you can't pay it all off, we'll have to confiscate your apartment, plus your belongings and furniture. Good luck, Ms. Daley." She walked out the door without looking back and closed the door behind her.

The room was quiet for a while. Stephanie was sitting on her comfy armchair contemplating her choices. There weren't very many. She could either let the secretary take her home and belongings away from her, or she could try to get a job that paid well enough. Stephanie wasn't going to give up without a fight.

After a few hours of walking around town, talking with shop employees, Stephanie was ready to give up. She wished she could go back a few years and a least attend a decent college, but sadly for her, there was no unicorn spell for that. She didn't even know a single unicorn.

Finally, she found a breakfast buffet that was short on employees and didn't require a college education. Stephanie asked to meet with the manager, and found herself in a real interview only minutes later. After much investigation, she found, to her dismay, that the breakfast buffet doesn't pay nearly enough to pay off even a tenth of her debt.

"What's wrong, Ms. Daley? Are you dissatisfied with the salary?" The manager asked politely, leaning forward.

Stephanie nodded, and explained her situation to him, leaving out the part when Wallace and his mare friend trashed her house.

The manager nodded gravely. "I see... well, if you really want that much money in such a short time..." He suddenly sneered and dropped his voice to a whisper. "How would you like... to be my personal maid?"

Stephanie stared at the stallion in horror. He didn't look too much older than her, and other than the sneer on his face, he didn't look at all indecent. Stephanie made a mental note to never trust any stallion her age, no matter how they behaved or looked.

"So how about it?" The stallion stared at her through slitted eyes and licked his lips. "I'll pay you any amount of money you want."

Contorting her face in disgust, Stephanie refused him as politely as she could manage, then stormed out of the office. This was the reason she wanted to move far, far away from big cities like Vancouver.

There was a problem, however. Her landlord wouldn't let her move away from Vancouver without her paying off her debt. She paused outside the office door. I guess the only way to get away from this horrible place is to accept his offer... She gulped and decided to walk back into the office. The manager was still sitting at his desk.

"I see you've decided to come back, hmm?" He sneered yet again.

"I'll accept your offer, but only if I can't find a job within a week." Stephanie offered.

"Fine."

They shook hooves.

That night, Stephanie dreamed that she got kicked out of her house and was forced to live with the manager of the breakfast buffet, who abused her, hit her, and all those kinds of things that are too impure for the eyes.

Hey! The next chapter will probably come out in a couple of days, so expect me then!
