Melody's Nail Salon
Chapter 2: Our First Customer
After only a few weeks, our business began. An hour later, an ebony woman with a long black hair came in.
"He'll, welcome to Melody's Nail Salon."
"Melody?"
"Yes, that's me.'
"It's me, Jade!'
"Jade? From high school?"
I remember Jade back from high school. She had a boyfriend but he cheated on her. Since then she took up singing and made a musical band called the Kombat Divas. Tanya is also a member.
"Would you like to have your nails done?"
"Sure!"
"Hey, girl!" Tanya arrived.
"Tanya, you work here?"
"After our first album, Melody wanted to run a business so we needed to help her."
"Well, after today, you're definitely going places."
Me and Tanya had spent two hours painting Jade's nails, giving her green paint with black stars.
"Amazing! Thank you, ladies."
"Melody knew what she was doing," said Jill. "First one on the house.'
"Naw, I need to pay for it."
Jade paid $30. Our first successful business transaction. Jade said goodbye to us. I couldn't help but feel so much better. Throughout the day, we only had one customer. At least you have to start somewhere, right? But the next day... The whole place was packing! But that's another chapter.
