As Morgan takes off her crusty diner uniform… She receives a text message from her high school best friend, Lena
Morgan! Is it true?
Are you okay?
What happened? Ohmygod.
Hello?
Morgan! You sneaky bitch. You better reply to me in the next hour.
Or else, I’m going to have to call the cops!
Morgan!
jesus. calm your tits, lena 😅
How do you expect me to calm down when I just heard that my best friend of 15 years was just intimidated by some loan shark in her workplace?!
woah, news travel fast… 🙈
Don’t play dumb on me.
What happened? Who was that?
payment reminder, the usual 😅
his name’s bill. my husband pretty much owes him majority of the debt that he’s left me with.
God, you’re husband is really a piece of shit.
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this on your own.
it’s fine. i’m more worried about the payment tbh. i don’t think i have enough to cover the minimum amount and still pay my rent 😔
That’s awful!
Aren’t you almost finished with this? Haven’t you paid off most of it already?
you gotta be kidding, right? 😂
hun, i can barely pay the interest 😩
Gosh, I’m so sorry.
But if you need money, you know that I can lend you some, right?
I mean, I don’t have a lot but I think I can be helpful.
All you need to do is ask.
hun, no. i’m not paying this debt with another debt. besides, you’re not the most financially comfortable either.
But you’ve said it yourself, you’re not sure if you’ll be able to pay your rent if you pay them.
yeah… but it’s also my problem, lena. i should solve it.
Wrong.
It’s your ex-husband’s problem. It shouldn’t even be yours by law!
but debt collectors don’t follow the law so here we are 😅
Hun, your tips barely cover food. This sounds frustrating.
i’ll get by 🥰
i’m a strong girl, remember? 😉
This is not even funny!
eh, let me use my humor after a long day of waitressing, will you? 😜
I hate you.
love you too, hun! 😘
What are your plans then?
How about staying with me? In case you won’t have enough for rent?
lena, no. your kids can barely move around your house and you want me there?
i’m sure your husband would have some very negative thoughts 🤣
But you’re my best friend too. I want to help.
be helpful by listening to my delusions so i don’t go insane 😌
and help me think of something that doesn’t involve you, please?
Aww. Okay.
How about selling some of your stuff?
what stuff? i barely have a couch 😂
Ugh. Some extra shifts?
tried that but no luck.
Can you handle a second job?
well, i wanna try
been looking for one but most of them either need a college degree or a full 9-6pm schedule
God. This is frustrating.
tell me about it 😅
How about asking help from Mark?
hun, no…
What?
Isn’t he some bigshot lawyer in the city?
That means he has a lot of money. And he can help you.
His mother!
but… you know this… we aren’t talking
damn, we haven’t talked in years…
and i’ve treated him so poorly… i don’t think he’ll help me
But you’re also his mother.
That has to count for something, Morgan.
i don’t know…
does it?
Meanwhile in the city… Mark prepares for a long day at work he receives a text from his secretary
hey, boss. you awake? 👀
I told you. Stop calling me boss.
Mark is fine.
that’s only applicable outside office hours and right now? mine just started 😜
Yes, but we’re also friends. No need for formalities.
correction your honor, we are best friends 😔
Lol.
Alright, let me hear my schedule for the day.
ofc! so for this morning, you have a 9:30am meeting with Mr. Smith for the proceedings.
then you have to meet with a client at 11am. at 12nn, you scheduled a working lunch with Mrs. Daniels from the London office. the firm’s annual meeting happens at 2pm too where you’ll be presenting.
i have your slide deck on your desk, waiting for review too.
then you have a 4pm meeting with a new client.
tldr, your schedule’s packed 😂
Can’t we move my 9:30 to next week?
Let’s say, Friday? Same time?
can be moved but you can’t do it on friday 😂
no work on that day, remember? it’s the law firm’s “family day” so they rented the country club for a picnic
Oh.
you forgot, didn’t you?
not surprised hahaha you never attend those anw 😂
Too loud for me.
i can also be fun! besides, i’ve never met your family and we’ve been friends for 5 years!
Told you, I don’t have any.
so you just errupted from the land? got it, nice 😂
Lol. Shut up.
I might just go to the office on that day.
boring!
you can’t skip it this time, you know?
Why is that?
I can do what I want.
you can but if you want to make partner this year, you have to start kissing asses with the bosses 😌
oohhh, that rhymes! hahaha
Fuck.
ikr! you know how those lawyers like fellow lawyers who “share the same values”? yep
that includes family values, boss 😂
Fine. Hold off on the RSVP response.
I’ll think about it.
yay! 😂
now, get your ass here already because i have your coffee waiting on your desk along with tons of papers you need to sign.
Damn it.
On my way.
And grab me a sub sandwich for lunch, will you?
gotcha.
Later that night… Morgan receives a message from the debt collector, Bill
Hey, Morgan.
what do you want?
Many things actually.
But we can start with ur payment?
i told you, next week.
i’ll give it.
U better.
Otherwise, we might just pay u another visit at the diner.
Can’t have u getting fired, ryt?
How else u gonna pay us?
please stop. i told you, i’m paying!
just like how i’ve always paid in the last couple of years.
Minimum payments? Those barely do anything.
U and I both know this. U need to be giving us more.
i’m trying to fix that, okay? give me time!
U know, ur problem can be solved if u just give in to my favor.
i am not sleeping with you, bill.
you fucker. over my dead body.
Careful, miss.
Ur promises might just come true.
U know what?
If u don’t pay us this time, with the full amount?
We’ll be paying ur home a visit.
Don’t u still live in that dumpster trailer?
shut up! stop!
leave me alone, okay?
i will pay you next week! next week!
just give me time to figure it out!
In full amount, yes?
yes, in full amount
Good.
And sweetheart?
If u decide to go take the easy route? I’d be more than willing to talk abt other payment options with u.
you’re gross
Mhmm. All this body, going to waste? Such a bummer.
It’s ur stupid husband’s loss anw. Imagine leaving this piece of meat bc ur scared of ur debts?
stop stalking my social media!
Can’t help it. Ur such an eye candy.
And u in that waitress uniform? Yum.
U’ll be glad to know that I know exactly what I’ll be dreaming abt tonight.
fuck off
Lmao. Remember, Morgan. We’ll be back next week.
