Soulmate 2.3: Fuck it all

"You good?" Francesca asked.

"I'm fine." I plopped down and looked at the time "Niki, time to pack and go home." It was more than 6 pm.

"But, I'm almost done." He looked at me with puppy eyes. I chuckled.

"Leave your laptop here and go enjoy a good night of sleep. Tomorrow, there will be work awaiting you don't worry." I grin.

He grimaces and nods. Slowly, the office empties itself. I focus on Maria's tasks. I always had to rewrite her mess. I focused dutifully on the work. After two hours of intensive work, I stretched.

"I really hope he doesn't fire me." I sigh looking at Maria's work. "I'll be walking home again." I grumble looking at the time. 8 pm. "Come on, Melody you can do this."

After three more hours of struggle, I'm finally done with Maria's tasks. I look forward to laying down in my right now. I stretch as I stand up once again. I grab my bag, turn off my computer and turn around only to find the Head Manager staring at me.

I freeze. "Head Manager. Good evening." And I walk away. No, I run away.

His flabbergasted look isn't enough to stop me. I don't want to deal with him tonight.

I hurry out of the company. I walk quickly towards my apartment which is a half-an hour walk from the company. I want to be done with this day.

"Morning." I greet Niki "You shouldn't come to early."

"We arrived five minutes ago." Sunoo smiles "You look tired, Melody."

"I'm fine. I'm just hungry." I chuckle as I turn on my computer and check the planning "We have a meeting at 8:30...that wasn't planned." I frown.

"No, it wasn't." Francesca leaned forward as she stood behind me "New boss did it. Look." Indeed, he was the one who had planned to organize it.

"Sit."

His voice was icy. All the 8 permanent members of the Marketing department sat down. Vice-Manager Kang glared at me. He was a forty-year-old man with a lot of ambitions and little in his head. I didn't like him. Nobody really did.

"Vice-Manager Kang. As of today, you are dismissed of your position for embezzlement of funds, manipulating your employes salary and taking sick leaves for holidays." He announces, "I invite you to exit the company and to find a lawyer."

A huge silence. Mr. Kang opens his mouth and closes it repeatedly. Head Manager Min sighs loudly before calling security. "Escort him out."

"Yes, Sir." Mr. Kang is dragged out of the room mercilessly.

Thousands of thoughts run through my head. Will I het fired too? Should I start looking for a new job? Will I even get an interview with anyone at this rate? I feel my vision blur as my anxiety is getting the best of me.

"Miss Bridge."

When my name is called, I flinch hardly and look up. I shouldn't cry. I'm 23 years old. I'm not that bad at my job, I think. I feel my tears flow of my cheek and everyone is looking at me.

"Am-am I getting fired?" I stutter.

Everyone looks at me shocked. Mr. Min opens his mouth and closes it. "Miss Delta, could you escort Miss Bridge out so that she calms down?" Head Manager asks.

Francesca stands up, but I shake my head at her. "Am I fired?" I repeat calmer. I need to get my anxiety under control. I grab a piece of tissue in my bag, wipe my cheeks and stare at Mr. Min eagerly. He takes a big breath.
