Drabble Challenge #65

Prompt: late

"Sorry, I’m late!”

“Miss, the interview has already started.”

“Who’s that, Mandy? Let her come on in!”

Entering, Cheryl greets smug stares from the other applicants.

“You’re late! So, what kept you, Ms. Ingram?” her prospective employer peers over glasses.

“I…I stopped by the vet’s office. I’d passed this injured kitty ….”

“Ms. Ingram, in retrospect, if you lose this job, don’t you think stopping for a CAT was a foolish decision?”

“No, sir,” Cheryl returns quietly. “I do not.”

“Alright,” beaming a smile at Cheryl, “the rest of you can go! I’ve found the right person for this job!”
