Gallery 3000.

"Brianna rubbed her temples as an annoying customer walked away with their order, quickly scrambling the phone number they gave her and throwing it behind her with no consideration whatsoever" "Fucking fatass weeb. Who would want to date your ugly ass?" "She muttered to herself in frustration, unable to understand why she was hit on so often. Brianna looked up with a defeated groan, looking at Echo✩ with a glare as they approached the counter" "Ugh, not another one.. Merry Christmas, or Happy fuckin' Holidays, whatever the hell I'm supposed to say. What're you gonna order? Stop wasting my time and spit it out asshole"

"Brianna gives you a look of irritation as you smile at her and recite your order. She rolls her eyes but types in your order with a sigh, all while muttering to herself" "Yeah, sure thing, Brett. Don't worry, I won't steal your cash." "She hands you your drink and waits for the rest of your order to be ready. When she hands over your meal, she simply grumbles out the words" "Order's up. Enjoy your food."

"Brianna watches as you walk away with your order and shakes her head at Lola's gaze. She scoffs under her breath, muttering" "Jesus, that guy sure knows how to make a girl's heart race." "She then turns to her work, not bothering to pay any more attention to Lola or her moping."

As you enjoy your meal, you hear snippets of the conversations happening around you. A group of teenagers at a nearby table discuss their plans for the evening while giggling into their phones. A couple canoodling in a corner booth catches your eye, their hands wandering over each other's bodies. Brianna, meanwhile, continues to work behind the counter with a sour expression on her face, shooting death glares at nearby customers.

After a few minutes of typing away at your laptop, you feel someone's gaze on you. Looking up, you see Lola staring at you from across the food court with a bit of envy in her eyes.

Lola looks away quickly when you wink at her, blushing a little. You then go back to your work, trying your best to focus while any number of distractions threaten to pull your attention away. The shoppers in the food court are a diverse group, ranging from families with young children to groups of older adults enjoying a day out.

Suddenly, Brianna approaches your table, a cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth as she regards you with a raised eyebrow. "Hey there, Brett. How's the meal? Need anything else?" she asks, blowing a cloud of smoke into the air.

"Brianna arches an eyebrow as you mention your plan" "So you want me to help you avoid that girl over there by pretending to talk to you? That's low, even for me," she grumbles, taking another drag from her cigarette. She continues after taking a puff, "As for my break, it's in about 10 minutes. I could spare a few minutes during it to answer your questions if you're paying, but I'm not exactly sure what kind of information I'd have that would be useful."

"Brianna nods slowly, pursing her lips as she considers your offer" "Alright, I suppose that's fair. I can tell you about some of the regulars we get and their habits. As for employee conditions, well...you're looking at one right here. But I suppose there's a few things I could tell you about what goes on behind the scenes." she says with a tired sigh. She then takes another drag from her cigarette before putting it out in an ashtray on the table. "Just meet me at the back entrance near the loading docks in 10 minutes and we can go from there." she adds before walking back towards the counter.

"Brianna seems surprised when you pull out a flask, but quickly composes herself and smirks at your offer" "Well now, aren't you a generous one. Sure, I'll have a sip." she says, taking the flask and taking a quick swig before handing it back to you. You also notice that she seems to relax around you a bit, perhaps due to the alcohol.

As for your observations, Brianna doesn't seem to notice them as she speaks. "So, what do you want to know?" she asks, gesturing towards the nearby shops. "Just point me at a store and I'll tell you all about the people who shop there and how happy their employees are."

During your conversation, Brianna opens up a little more as you discuss various topics related to the mall and its employees. You learn that she's been working at Burger Heir for a little over a year, and that while the pay isn't great, it's better than some of the other minimum wage jobs in the area.

As your break winds down, Brianna agrees to meet up with you after her shift, and you pay her the agreed-upon fee. She grins at you as she pockets the money, looking more relaxed than you've seen her all day. "Thanks for the cash, Brett. And for being pretty chill to talk to. I could use a break from this place every once in a while." she says as she heads back towards the counter.

As Brianna's shift ends and she changes into street clothes, you finish up your research on the mall's demographics and other details. When she emerges from the back room, Brianna looks much different than she did in her Burger Heir uniform. Her hair is still unkept, but she's wearing a leather jacket over a band t-shirt and some ripped jeans.

"So, what's next?" she asks, looking around for a moment before meeting your gaze. "You got any plans for us, or are we just gonna wander around like lost puppies?" she adds with a smirk.

"Brianna looks pleasantly surprised by your compliment" "Ah, a fellow fan I see. Pink Floyd's the best damn band out there." she says with a grin. She then listens intently as you suggest checking out a local bar playing cover songs. "I'm down for that. Haven't really done much besides work and smoke lately, so this could be fun." she replies, nodding in agreement.

The two of you exit the mall and make your way to the nearby beach area, where you eventually find the bar playing the cover songs. It's dimly lit and crowded, but the band playing on stage is good enough to make up for it. Brianna seems to be enjoying herself, tapping her foot along to the music as she looks around at the other patrons.

As you order drinks and appetizers for the two of you, Brianna takes a stool at the bar and scans the crowd for a moment. She then orders a vodka tonic with lime when asked by the bartender.

As the night wears on, you and Brianna share stories and laughs over drinks and good food, learning more about each other as the hours tick by. Brianna's tough exterior seems to melt away as she relaxes around you, laughing and joking without reservation.

As the night progresses and the drinks continue to flow, Brianna begins to loosen up even more, revealing details about her life that she's kept hidden from most people.

She tells you about how she grew up in a middle-class family but was forced to drop out of art college due to financial struggles. She talks about the stress of living paycheck to paycheck and her hatred for her dead-end job at Burger Heir. But despite all the hardships she's faced, Brianna refuses to give up hope, still holding onto dreams of a better life and a brighter future.

"You know, Brett...I didn't think I could have this much fun without drugs or sex involved," she says with a drunken giggle. "Thanks for tonight. It's, uh...it's been a while since I've had a good time like this."

Brianna smiles back at you, her hand still in yours. "Well, are you planning on staying in town for a while? I mean, if you're looking for work, it's not a bad place to settle down. The mall's always hiring and there's plenty of other business around here too." she says, looking at you with genuine interest.

As the night winds down and the bar begins to clear out, you and Brianna exchange numbers and say your goodbyes. Despite the alcohol and the late hour, you feel energized and invigorated by your time with her, and you can't help but think that maybe there's something more there, something worth exploring.

After leaving the bar and getting back to your hotel room safely, you text Brianna and thank her for the great evening. You then ask when she's next working at the mall.

A few minutes later, Brianna responds. "I'm working tomorrow morning at 10am. Why, you planning on stopping by or something?" she asks, her message coming back quickly.

You can't help but feel excited at the possibility of seeing her again so soon. Maybe this could be the start of something special.

You arrive at the mall around 11 am and make your way over to Burger Heir, where Brianna is working behind the counter. She looks up and smiles when she sees you, taking your order for lunch and making some small talk as you wait for your food.

As you eat your burger and fries, you begin your research into computer repair and stores in the mall, as well as available storefronts. You find that there are a few different options for computer repair, though none of them seem particularly special or unique. As for storefronts, there are a number of empty spaces currently available, including some prime locations in the central part of the mall.

Brianna notices the intense focus in your eyes as you research, but keeps her distance, only checking in on you when you need a refill on your drink or a fresh napkin.

You make sure to slide Brianna a twenty as you finish up your lunch, explaining that it's a per diem from the Mall Owners for your work as a freelancer. She looks surprised at first, but then grins when she realizes what it is.

"Thanks, Brett. I can never say no to some extra cash," she says with a wink.

You then ask if she'd like to meet at the loading dock during her break, and Brianna agrees. "Sure thing, I could definitely use a break from this place," she says, her eyes flickering with excitement.

As the two of you meet at the loading dock, Brianna greets you with a grin. You notice that she seems more relaxed outside of her work environment, and her tough exterior seems to drop away.

"Hey there, Brett. What's up?" she asks, glancing around before pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up. You notice the unfixed camera, which seems to have been vandalized in some way. You assume that Brianna had something to do with it.

"So what brings you here during my break? You trying to escape from the mall too?" she asks, taking a long drag on her cigarette.

Brianna takes another long drag on her cigarette, mulling over your question before responding. "Yeah, I dropped out of art school a few years back, still owe them tons of money too," she says with a sigh, staring off into the distance for a moment.

As you ask about her artwork, she seems to brighten up a bit, taking a step closer to you. "I have some sketches and paintings back home, but nothing recently. Haven't had much time or motivation to work on anything lately." she says, flicking ash from her cigarette.

"Why, were you looking to commission something or something?" she asks, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

Brianna looks surprised as you explain your idea for an art gallery in the mall, and listens intently as you detail your proposal.

"So let me get this straight...you and I would form an LLC, rent an empty storefront, and sell artwork during party nights in the mall? And then we split the profits, with one piece sold going to cover rent and the other going to me?" she repeats, trying to make sure she's understood the concept correctly.

After thinking for a moment and taking another drag on her cigarette, Brianna nods her head in agreement. "It's definitely a risk, but it's also a great opportunity. Plus, anything that gets me out of Burger Heir is a win in my book," she says with a chuckle.

"I'm in, Brett. Let's do this."

Brianna nods eagerly as you explain the details of your plan and agree to get to work on it. "Sounds great, Brett. I'll start working on my artwork right away," she says with a smile.

As you ask to meet up after work to see her artwork, Brianna's eyes light up with excitement. "Definitely! I'll bring some of my sketches and paintings, and you can tell me what you think. And pizza and alcohol? You're speaking my language," she says, laughing lightly.

"Meet me at The Shack down the street from the mall after my shift, say around 6pm?" she suggests, already looking forward to the evening ahead.

"The Shack" is a popular bar and grill located near the mall, Brianna explains. "It's got a great atmosphere and amazing food, you'll love it," she says with a grin.

As for the name of their art gallery, Brianna furrows her brow in thought. "Hmm, that's a tough one. I want something that reflects the spirit of the mall and our creativity," she says, tapping her chin.

After thinking for a few moments longer, Brianna finally brightens up. "How about 'Gallery 3000'? It's futuristic, modern, and catchy. And it reminds me of the old sci-fi movies I used to watch with my dad," she says, nodding her head in approval.

"We can work on the logo and branding later. What do you think?" she asks, turning to you expectantly.

Brianna grins broadly at the compliment, then nods as you part ways to go about your respective business for the day.

As promised, you set up an LLC for Gallery 3000 and a website to showcase Brianna's artwork and promote their upcoming gallery in the mall. You feel a sense of excitement building inside you as the project takes shape, and you can't wait to dig in deeper and see where it takes you.

For the rest of the day, the thoughts of opening the art gallery keep occupying your mind, even as you work on your freelance tasks for the mall. You find yourself counting down the hours until you can meet Brianna at The Shack and see what she's been working on for the gallery.

Eventually, the clock strikes 6pm, and you make your way over to the bar and grill to meet Brianna. As she promised, she's brought along some of her paintings and sketches, and you take a seat next to her at a corner booth, ordering pizza and drinks.

The rest of the evening is spent deep in conversation about their plans for Gallery 3000, with both of you bouncing ideas off each other and dreaming up possibilities for the future. By the end of the night, you feel more energized and inspired than ever before, and you can't wait to see where this adventure will take you.

As you submit the rent offer for Gallery 3000 to the mall owners, you make sure to carefully research prices and market trends to come up with a fair yet profitable offer for both parties.

After a few rounds of negotiations and back-and-forth offers, the mall owners agree to your 36 month contract at a relatively lowball price. You're thrilled that you were able to secure such a prime location for Gallery 3000, and you can't wait to share the news with Brianna.

When you meet up with Brianna to discuss the contract, you lay out all the details for her in a transparent and honest manner, making sure she understands the profit margin and investment for the gallery.

"I know it's a lot to take on, Brianna, but I truly believe that you can do this. You have a great eye for art, and I've seen how passionate you are about this project. With your talent as an artist, saleswoman, and store manager, I truly believe that Gallery 3000 will be a success. And who knows, you might even end up making more money than you would at Burger Heir," you say optimistically.

Brianna listens attentively, taking in all the information and considering the proposal carefully. After a moment of thought, she nods her head decisively.

"Okay, let's do it.

The rest of the conversation is spent discussing the details of Brianna's roles and responsibilities as the owner and manager of Gallery 3000. You go over inventory management, marketing strategies, and staffing needs, among other things.

Brianna looks a little overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what she's taking on, but she also looks determined and focused. You can tell that she's excited about this new opportunity, despite the challenges that lie ahead.

"Thanks for believing in me, Brett. I know this is going to be hard work, but I'm ready for the challenge," she says, smiling at you gratefully.

As you leave the bar, you feel a surge of excitement mixed with nerves. This venture might be a lot of work, but it could also be the start of something amazing for both of you.

Brianna nods in agreement when you suggest that she continue to work at Burger Heir a while longer. "Sounds like a good idea. I want to make sure I have enough money saved up before I fully commit to Gallery 3000," she says.

As for your plans to set up the gallery space in the mall, Brianna looks impressed. "That's awesome, Brett. I didn't even think about getting help from Mall Maintenance. It'll be so much easier to set up the space with their expertise," she says, nodding her head.

You both agree to meet with Mall Maintenance and start working on the setup as soon as possible. In the meantime, you take care of informing the mall owners about the contract for Gallery 3000, making sure to document everything along the way.

"I totally get it," Brianna says, sympathetically. "The food court can be a bit of a nightmare sometimes, especially with Lola around. But with Gallery 3000, we won't have to deal with her anymore," she says, smiling mischievously.

You can't help but grin back. It feels good to have a plan in motion, and you're excited to see where Gallery 3000 will take both of you.

"Of course, I'll help you with that," you say to Brianna, happy to assist her.

Together, you both gather up her artwork and carefully transport it to her apartment. As you carry the paintings, you can't help but admire their beauty - Brianna truly has a gift for art. You feel even more excited about Gallery 3000 now that you've seen some of the pieces that she'll be showcasing.

Once you arrive at her apartment, Brianna invites you inside for a drink. "We should celebrate our progress on Gallery 3000 tonight," she says, mischievously.

You agree, and soon the two of you are seated in Brianna's living room, glasses in hand. The apartment is cozy and decorated with art and books, giving it a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

As you chat about your plans for Gallery 3000 and life in general, you can't help but feel a growing sense of attraction towards Brianna. She's smart, talented, and fiercely independent - all qualities that you admire in a person.

Before you know it, the conversation shifts towards more intimate topics, and you find yourself drawn closer to Brianna. The air between you feels charged with electricity, and you both lean in for a kiss.

As you lean in for a kiss, you can feel the restrained hunger and longing in every brush of your lips against Brianna's. You allow her to set the pace, not wanting to push her beyond what she is comfortable with.

Brianna reciprocates your advances eagerly, deepening the kiss as she wraps her arms around your shoulders. For a moment, it feels like the rest of the world fades away, leaving just the two of you in the cozy comfort of the apartment.

As you pull away, Brianna looks up at you with a glint in her eye. "Do you want to stay the night?" she asks, almost teasingly.

You feel a thrill run down your spine at the thought. Spending the night with Brianna seems like the perfect way to cap off a successful day filled with progress towards your goals.

"Yes, I do," you say, smiling at her with a newfound feeling of warmth and happiness.

Brianna leans in to kiss you again, this time with a heightened sense of urgency and need. You can feel her hunger for you in every move she makes, and it's contagious.

As you both stumble towards the bedroom, your hands roam freely over each other's bodies, exploring and discovering the pleasure zones without any shame or hesitation. The air is thick with a heady mix of anticipation and desire.

Brianna leads you to the bed, pulling your clothes off with stunning speed and agile movements. Once you are both naked, she climbs on top of you, straddling you with a look of raw desire on her face.

As she envelops you in her embrace, you feel yourself being consumed by the intensity of the passion that you share. Together, you surrender to the sensations, exploring the full spectrum of your desires and fantasies without restraint.

Hours pass in a blur of ecstasy and delight, and as the sun starts to rise, you both collapse into each other's arms, exhausted but completely satisfied.

As you drift off to sleep, a feeling of contentment washes over you, filling you with confidence and reassurance. You know that with Brianna by your side, anything is possible - even creating a successful gallery and leaving the dead-end job at Burger Heir behind.

Brianna wakes up, pleasantly surprised to see you still there beside her. She smiles at you before turning over to check the time on her phone.

When she sees that it's still early in the morning, Brianna nods in agreement when you suggest that she set up her apartment as an Airbnb. "That's a great idea, Brett. I know my landlord would be okay with it, and it'll help with the costs of running Gallery 3000," she says, grateful for your input.

You both get up and start making breakfast together, discussing the logistics of setting up the apartment as an Airbnb. Brianna seems excited at the prospect and starts making a list of things she needs to do.

Once breakfast is done, you offer to check out of your hotel and book Brianna's Airbnb space yourself. Brianna agrees, thanking you for your support and contribution towards the business.

"I hope this isn't a one-time thing either, Brett," she says, looking up at you with a hopeful smile. "I have a feeling we make a great team, and I'd love to continue working with you on Gallery 3000. What do you say?" she asks, still smiling mischievously.

Brianna giggles at your enthusiasm and follows you back to bed. You can't wait to eat her out, and she eagerly spreads herself before you, waiting for your touch.

As you start exploring her body with your tongue, Brianna moans with pleasure, arching her back in ecstasy. You can feel the warmth and wetness of her body as you work your magic, teasing and tantalizing her until she comes undone beneath you.

Afterwards, you both catch your breath before getting up to head to the mall. You work with Mall Maintenance, using your negotiation skills and a bit of bribery to convince them to devote more time and resources towards cleaning and fixing things within the Gallery 3000 unit.

Together, you and Brianna spend the day putting the finishing touches on the space, making sure that everything is perfect for the grand opening. She works on setting up the artwork and lighting, while you handle the logistics and marketing.

By the end of the day, you both collapse onto the couch, exhausted but happy. "I'm so glad we decided to do this, Brett," Brianna says, snuggling up against you. "I couldn't have done it without you."

You smile down at her, feeling content and satisfied with the way things have turned out. You know that there are challenges ahead, but with Brianna by your side,

you feel like conquering anything is possible.

As the night approaches, you and Brianna decide to celebrate your hard work with a bottle of Jameson Whiskey. You play some music on Brianna's electric guitar as she pours you both a glass, basking in the glow of your successes.

At long last, the day of the grand opening arrives. The Gallery 3000 unit is filled with people from all walks of life, eager to see the beautiful artwork that Brianna has so carefully curated. You and Brianna welcome guests with open arms, offering them drinks and guiding them through the space.

The night is a raging success, with many people praising the artwork and expressing interest in purchasing some of the pieces. You and Brianna take time out to celebrate, happy with the way things have turned out.

As the night begins to wind down, Brianna turns to you with a look of thankfulness in her eyes. "I couldn't have done this without you, Brett. You truly are an amazing partner and friend," she says, giving you a hug.

You embrace her back, feeling grateful for the opportunity to work with someone as talented and inspiring as Brianna. Together, you feel like anything is possible - and who knows where your partnership may take you in the future?
