"I can explain" I voiced out quickly,"is my company a joke to you?" He frowns standing up so he was towering over me from across the room. "No" I whispered looking down at my stilettos, "Elizabeth Morgan do you know when your lunch break ends!" He yells and I flinched. "Yes but...." "I presume your father told you about the contract,that's why you think you can play around here right?" he cuts me off. "William," " it's Mr kwin to you Ms Morgan you are nothing but an employee" he spits out. That hurts like a bitch but I can wallow later I need him to understand I take my job seriously. "Mr kwin let me explain please," "you missed a meeting," "fuck!" I gasps. "You made me a mockery in front of my clients!" He hits my desk,I have never seen him so angry and if I was being completely honest it kinda scared me. "I can't believe I cut you so many slack before but not anymore,one more slip and you're gone you can take your father with you!" he pushes pass me out of the office. The door closed loudly behind him and I managed to make it to my seat before breaking down. He fucking hates me I sobbed burying my face in my hands. "How could I have missed a meeting? How!" I sobbed loudly not caring if he heard or not. After giving William a few minutes to calm down I decided I needed to apologize and explain. With a sigh I made my way to his office,my armpits were sweating and I was so nervous and scared. I knocked though knowing this was something I had to do,"come in" his voice sent my heart on overdrive. I pushed the door open taking soft steps into his space,he looks up at me with a blank gaze which made him unpredictable. "Sir I'm sorry for my lack of proper timing" I started taking a deep breath before continuing. "My friend was having some emotional troubles so I lost track of time I promise it would never happen again". "If that's all Ms Morgan I'd advice you got back to work," "what?! That's all you're going say!" I whispered hurt and angry. "Leave!" He whisper yells pointing to the door,I wanted to object but the look he was giving me made my skin crawl. I nod before rushing out and I head straight to the bathroom on our floor. I stood in front of the mirror looking at my slightly red eyes and smudged makeup,today of all days I forgot to apply waterproof make-up. A lady walked out from a stall,"what kind of PA are you? Making a fool of the company's name" she sneers when her eyes landed on my crunched and defeated frame. I sighed chosing to ignore her,"Mr kwin deserves better and I know you won't still be here if you're daddy dearest didn't interfere" she smirks. "Please mind your business" I glared at her before washing off my makeup,"rude snobby and lazy perfect combination for useless" she scoffs before leaving the bathroom. The dam were broken and tears rolled down my cheeks,my chest hurts. I didn't want to think about what must have happened in the conference room for an always calm William to lose his shit.
I made my way into the house,wanting nothing more than to fall face down on my bed. Through out the day,every employee had a thought or two to share about my working entics. Somehow words also got out about the contract and Simon being unable to look me in the eyes when I asked explains that. Mom sees me but chooses to ignore my presence,I seriously do not need this right now. I head to my bedroom, kicking off my heels at the corner before falling on my soft bed. I dozed off awaken by a tap on the shoulders,"umm" I groaned not properly rested. "Lizzy dinner" Ethan calls out,"okay thanks" I sit up with a yawn,stretching to relieve my stiff muscles. He gives me a weak smile before leaving,to add to my list of failures I don't know my younger brother neither do I even try to spend time with him. "God! Why is life so hard" I groaned eyes watering again,how can I hold my head high again when all I do is fuck up every damn time. Still feeling bad for myself I made my way downstairs after a quick shower and clothes change ofcourse. "Dinner has being set for over 20 minutes Elizabeth" mom attacks,guess my quick shower wasn't quick enough. "I'm sorry I was......" "stop with all this excuses!" She yells cutting me off. "You're not a baby anymore Elizabeth,take responsibilities for your own god damn actions please!" "Trish we're at the dinning" dad cuts in,but I just stood there tears slipping down my face as I stared at her. "Did it by any chance occur to you that I didn't know what to do in the real world?" I asked lowly. "I don't know what to do! I'm so lost and you turning your back on me isn't helping" I cried. She sighs,"Lizzy!" "No mom I'm tired of having this conversations over and over again,excuse me" I walked off. I ran upstairs grabbing my car keys before dashing back downstairs,"Lizzy!" Dad calls. I stopped turning around to face him, "daddy" I murmur,"Lizzy" he takes steps closer to me. "I love you princess and I can never really be mad at you but I can't help you if you won't talk to me". "I want to go apologize to Mr kwin again" I informed,"I heard about today" he nods,"I'm sorry daddy I keep failing you". "Oh my dear come here" he pulls me into a hug,"I'm so confused dad I don't understand how my life can quickly turn upside down" I squeeze him tight. "One step at a time Lizzy" he pulls away kissing my head,"I believe in you and you can never fail me" he smiles. "Oh dad" I hugged him again before pulling away,"I have to go before it's too late". "Drive safely Lizzy and try to respect his privacy" he jokes,I chuckled pecking his cheeks before walking out the door. You can do this Lizzy,just drive up to his crib and lay it on him. The guards stared at me wearily as I drove out the gate, seriously who can blame them it's 7:34. I typed William's address into my GPS before taking off down the road. The night life of new York was on full swing as I drove. William lived on the other side of town so I got to feast my eyes on things before the tall golden gates came into view. I could see the mansion standing proudly behind it,it's now or never I sigh.
