The Fox's Artist 3

You're fired!

 At an electronic store was Nathaniel explaining to a guy a sheet, that he held in the middle of the store.

"If you say, that your laptop's problem was the fan, that wasn't cooling the device correctly, that's not a software problem, that's a hardware problem. A software is any kind of program inside the laptop, hardware anything on the laptop's body, like that fan" Told Nathaniel the guy.

So technically, the others are trying to fool me, so that I have to pay a lot for something, that's not even necessary?"
"If I were you, I would go to the customer service and explain them the situation and they should fix that problem, cause if your laptop still has its guarantee, they should fix the fan for free"
"Great, I'll be going right now!" Said the guy." Thank you so much man!"
"No problem," Said Nathaniel seeing the guy walking off.

Nathaniel walked along  the store and went to a computer, which belonged to the staff of it and checked something on there. An elder guy with a suit passed by Nathaniel stopping next to him, glaring at him.
"Kurtzberg!" Shouted the man scaring him. "I need you to change the prices of the phone accessories, they're supposed to be for 30% off"
"Alright boss, I'm on it," Said Nathaniel, while pressing the L and the CTRL button on the computer to lock it up again. The boss left and Nathaniel opened a drawer under the computer to take a labeling machine out, then walked along the corridor again, then passed into a corridor with phones, walking to the end of the place, where there was a metallic shelf filled with phone cases and other materials and Nathaniel changed the prices on the device.

Another staff appeared by at Nathaniel, watching him work.
"How're you doing?" Asked the guy. "You gotta do Jean's work, which he was supposed to do?"
"No idea from who it is, but it was, what Mr. Renard told me to do"
"Yeah, that's definitely from Jean" Explained the work pal of Nathaniel. "Whoa, what a nice girl," Said the guy walking behind Nathaniel, which glared up at him.
"Is that how you're trying to get her?" Asked Nathaniel.
"You think that you're better?" Asked the guy jokingly. "Not everyone is that lucky to get married to the daughter of a diplomat like you did"
"Well, I'm actually glad it happened," Said Nathaniel fixing the prize on the device.
A black-haired woman walked behind Nathaniel, then stopped to look down at him. She grinned and went down, whispering into his ear.
"You look hot in that shirt," Said the woman and Nathaniel wide his eyes shocked as he heard the voice of the female. The redhead turned his head back, then saw, that the black-haired girl behind her wasn't Lila or anyone else he knows good. It was Ana, the girl, that had tried to convince Nathaniel to be something he wasn't.
"Not you" Sighed Nathaniel as he had recognized her face. "What do you want?"
"Just wanted to see, if you guys got headphones" Replied Ana glaring at Nathaniel, following him with her eyes. "But as I see, they got also you working here, handsome"
"Don't call me handsome" Hissed Nathaniel back. "I and Lila are about to marry and further we're becoming parents and we don't want you to ruin our lives again as you tried back in school"
"But you are handsome" Said Ana blocking Nathaniel from walking away from her. "Doesn't Lila tell you that?" Asked Ana making Nathaniel frown his face.
"She does it enough, stop stalking me and her!" Demanded Nathaniel angry.
"Does she also give you enough attention or does she let you do certain things like you know..." Asked Ana grabbing Nathaniel's hand pulling it towards her chest, but Nathaniel took it away from her in a harsh way.
"Stop it!'' Shouted Nathaniel. "Just get out of here and stop annoying me!"
"Lila is going to pay" Said Ana. "She doesn't deserve to be with someone like you"
"And you don't deserve to be with me. I'm with Lila and that's it! She's the one I love and with who I want to spend the rest of my life. Put this into your mind!" Shouted Nathaniel angry at Ana, then Mr. Renard appeared by them and grabbed Nathaniel on his shoulder.
"Kurtzberg, what are you doing!?!?!" Exclaimed Nathaniel's boss angry. Nathaniel got nervous as his boss appeared, then tried to talk.
"She....she....was...."
"Sir he started to yell at me for no reason. He wanted to touch me, but I didn't want to" Said Ana faking tears to Nathaniel's boss, which glared at Nathaniel, which couldn't believe at what the Portuguese girl was doing.
"I never touched you, stop playing innocent, you're the...."
"Kurtzberg!"
"But she...."
"YOU'RE FIRED!" Shouted the boss, shrieking Nathaniel.
"But she didn't even prove it happened, why..." Asked Nathaniel and his boss ripped Nathaniel's name from his shirt, throwing it in the ground.
"She's crying, god damn it! You have twenty minutes to take all your stuff and move your ass out of here!" Yelled Mr. Renard at Nathaniel, which then walked off, disappointed of what just happened due to Lila's ex-best friend.

At the loft, where Lila and Co. live she sat on the couch watching a series on Netflix along with her kwami Trixx.
"It's that how you spend your day when everyone is at work, but you?" Asked the fox kwami looking up at the brunette.
"Not always" Responded Lila "There are a few things I can do, when I'm alone, like reading a book, playing Wii or seeing all of Nath's drawings."
"Oh right, he draws really good" Said Trixx earning a nod from the brunette, which then had something in mind and left the couch walking into the room of hers and Nathaniel's, after that, she got out with a booklet and showed it to the vixen kwami.

"Happy 18th anniversary Lila Rossi" Read Trixx, then lifted her magenta eyes at the Italian, which pointed at the booklet, signing the kwami to open it.
The kwami looked at a few sketches of Lila's profile in various styles, such as chibis, anime and manga. Trixx moved to the next page and kept looking at the other sketches of Lila.
"This was Nathaniel's birthday for my 18th birthday." Told Lila smiling at that thought. "It sounds probably unbelievable, but I loved his present more than my father's gift, which was a brand new car."
"Aww" Said Trixx smiling lovely at Lila. "He's still the same sweetheart, just as I met you two," Said the kwami earning a nod from the girl and suddenly the door got open and it was Nathaniel, entering into the apartment, looking sad.
"Already home?" Asked Lila looking at the redhead, which came towards the couch, then threw himself down at the couch lying his head down near Lila. "Are you alright?"
"Were your exes better, than me?" Asked Nathaniel rolling his eyes up at the girls.
"Why are you asking me that?" Asked Lila looking down at him. "I talked with Trixx about you, you're the best thing, that has happened to me," Told Lila grabbing Nathaniel on his chin.
"I'm going to be a bad father Lila..."
"Nathaniel stop being so negative, you're going to be great"
"How Lila, I can't even keep a job!"
"What are you talking about?" Asked Lila raising her eyebrow.
"I got fired" Responded Nathaniel sad, then Lila got surprised by his response.
"Wh....what?"
"I lost my job. There was a problem and I got fired"
"What exactly happened?"
"Ana was there and somehow managed to play a victim in front of my boss, causing me to get fired"
"She what?!?!"
"My boss was also stupid, instead of checking the surveillance cameras he believed her lies and now I got no job"
"That....that....grrr..!..."
"Calm down Lila, remember, don't get irritated or nervous," Told Trixx passing her paws on her cheeks.
"Right I try to"
"I'm sorry, I tried to explain to him, what exactly happened, but he didn't want to listen to me"
"We can talk later about it, you already told me a lot about him many times before. Can you wait?" Asked Lila and Nathaniel nodded, then got petted by Lila on his head. "Let it go, Nath"
