Fell In Love with my Rival

IV- Anxiety

Fuck!!!

Roi shouted repeatedly as he punches the wall slamming his fist to let out some anger.

FUCK!!!

Roi's mind was filled with regret as he woke up with a huge hangover and he still has work tomorrow. He felt like his head was as heavy as a cruise ship and his his body is as weak as a grass overgrown in his lawn. His mind was cloudy as he could not think well from the severe headache he was having but to make things worse, he woke up to see that he sent his boss a message saying he wants to fuck his boss.

FUCK!!! NO!!! WHAT HAS GOT INTO YOU!!!

Roi couldn't process everything he has done yesterday and his mind was bugged by emotions of regret, anger, worries, anxiety, fear, doubt and sadness.

Should I even go to work?!? I have a hangover! And Karl would sure ask me about the message! Fuck!!! What should I do?!?

Roi was thinking really hard while he bang his head in frustration in his wall. He knew if he went to work, he wouldn't perform another day well too as he was too hungover. But if he does take a day off again, it would be a bad record for missing two days of work.

Fuck! What should I do???

Roi thinks very hard to decide and he decided to continue to work. Despite his absent minded actions, he doesn't want to disappoint his boss nor lose his job so he will take the risk. But he plans to stay away from his boss and hide from him as well as he can.

"Yeah that's what I should do!" Roi said as he walked downstairs but as he walked pass by the living room, he notices missed calls from someone new that caught his eye. Roi was shocked and stop what he was doing.
He grabbed the landline and dialed the number. The phone rings. Roi was coiling and spinning his fingers on the wire as he waited for the call to be picked up. He was really anticipating that the phone will answer. Then it answered.

"Lucas!!!"

"Hello Roi"

"Where have you been!!! Brock said you have been missing for a few days! I only been away for 1 day and you already got missing? You better exp-"

"I will bro... You see, the reason I was missing is because I had a date with my girlfriend"

"WHAT!?!"

"Yeah..."

"Well that doesn't explain why you been gone for like two days?"

"Well bad news is, I might have got her pregnant..."

"What!!!"

"Calm down bro pleas-"

"Lucas!!! How could you?!? I thought you were an innocent guy"

"Look bro I'm sorry I did it, I was drunk ok? We all make mistakes when we're drunk right?"

Then Roi recalls his actions of texting his boss which he totally regret. Even though his brother did something wrong, he was right at the point he said as Roi did also make a mistake when he got drunk.

"Right?"

"Oh yeah, uh... Right"

"Here's the thing bro, I'm taking responsibility for it and I'm taking care of her and the baby. I asked mom for money but she is all out and-"

"And you wanna get money from me?"

"Yeah... Please bro, for me and for your niece"

Roi was having second thoughts as he needs the money too. But his care for his favorite brother didn't vanish and accepted his request.

"Fine, I'll send money to you in sunday when I get paid"

"Thanks bro, you're the best"

"Yeah yeah, bye, I have to go to work now"

Roi hangs up the call. He walks into the kitchen to eat and takes his dog for a walk, then takes a bath and heads to work. He felt very light headed and was anxious of what might happen at work especially about the message he sent.

Remember! The plan is to work and act like everything is normal and avoid Karl as much as possible

He arrives at work to see an empty front door. He sees his other workers coming in along with Karl. Roi was alerted and hid in the bathroom. He waited for the boss to enter his office before he goes out to work.

"Has Roi arrived yet?" Karls said to the cook Chan Vallez.

Chan Vallez was a 29 year old college graduate who got the promotion as head chef at the place and was a master of cooking. Chan is also Karl's friend at work.

"I'm afraid not bro" Chan said as he entered the kitchen to start working.

Karl was disappointed and left a frown in his face and went inside his office. Roi was relieved and went out of the bathroom. Evans saw his friend leave the bathroom really cautiously which made the cashier curious of what the tabke cleaner is doing.

"What were you doing in the mens bathroom?" Evans asked as he crossed his arms and raised a brow

"Uhh nothing, I just- washed my hands, thats all" Roi said as he walked away from the cashier looking at him before rushing to his post.

Evans got more curious but paid no attention to it as customers walk into the counter to order. Roi continued working but the microphone states something Roi got shocked about.

"Mr. Liams, please report yourself to the office effective immediately"

Roi was shocked and don't know what to do. He was sweating and shaking and staring at the office door.

Fuck!!! What should I do?!?

Roi remained standing staring at the office door really terrified. He really doesn't want to see his boss, especially when he just sent a regretful message last night.

After a while, he still hasn't reported himself in the office but then the microphone speaks again.

"Mr. Liams! I repeat! Please report to the office now! Effective immediately!
Not another call or I will be forced to fire you"

Roi was even more nervous. Chan, Evans and the other staff spots Roi just nervously standing in his post staring at the office door. His heart was racing. He really didn't want to do it but he really doesn't want to lose his job neither so he slowly walks towards the office all terrified. He arrives at the front of the door with his hand on the door knob.

Here goes nothing...
