A gruff voice began to speak, and for a moment Sara froze like a deer in the headlights, "I've brought the rent, Gold--" It was the voice of Allen Ross, her employer.
Sara turned to face him, her necklace safely tucked into her pocket. Allen Ross was a broad-shouldered, barrel chested man in his mid thirties. Fire red hair remained where baldness was beginning to take over; and a handlebar mustache bristled as he looked at his employee.
"Sara." His tone was definitely not a happy one. "You are supposed to be opening the gallery. What do you think you are doing here?" as he spoke his voice got louder and angrier to the point where he was nearly shouting.
Sara's face was pale but she still managed to glare, "I arrived to the gallery early--" He didn't even let her finish "Never mind, we will...discuss this later." He growled, and she became paler.
Mr. Ross then strode forward to take hold of her arm to remove her from the building.

"Hello Mr. Ross," Mr. Gold spoke up, "I didn't know that you had an assistant."

Mr. Ross stopped short. "Yes, I do," he said, and he took hold of her arm to lead her out. "She is SUPPOSED to be in the gallery at this moment, waiting for customers."

"This early in the morning, no one will be there yet," the pawn shop owner said.

"There are many other duties she is supposed to oversee--" He began, but Sara cut him off, sounding braver than she felt, "I already checked the gallery and the store rooms and the charts; everything was in order. I still had an hour so I thought I'd--" he cut her off, "It doesn't matter. You are supposed to do as I say and not ask stupid questions or do idiotic things. I take care of the financial, while you maintain the gallery. That's how it's been, that's how it will always be. Now get to granny's for my morning coffee and bear claw, on your way to the gallery. I have more business in town that I need to take care of." At this, he shoved her roughly towards the door, glared at Mr. Gold, and walked towards the door.

"This is interesting..." Gold spoke up, looking at some papers.

As Sara regained her footing, she turned towards Mr. Gold as he spoke, and so did Mr. Ross.

"Did you know, Mr. Ross, that I have quite an investment in your art gallery?"

Mr. Ross paled slightly, "Is that so?"

"Besides just owning the property, I mean."

Mr. Ross was paying full attention now, "What are you getting at, Mr. Gold?" Allen said softly, dangerously.

"Mr. Ross, I am simply saying that I hope the Wallace Art gallery continues to do well."

At this, Ross's face went completely white. "I'm sure that it will, Mr. Gold. Thanks." With that, Mr. Ross turned, and when he laid eyes upon Ms. Wallace, his eyes burned. "My breakfast, Ms. Wallace, had better be waiting for me by the time I arrive in the gallery." He then swept out of the shop, letting the door slam shut. As soon as her boss left, Sara turned with grateful eyes and a smile towards Mr. Gold. "Thank you again, so very much, Mr. Gold. I'll make sure to bring extra money in so as to reclaim my grandmother's jewelry."

"Good luck, Ms Wallace," he said to her with a nod, "I am sure you will manage it."

She nodded with a smile, "Thank you, sir, I'll see you later!" she said with a wave, and stepped out of the shop and headed towards Granny's.
