The One Who Got Away

Chapter 8

(Hi guys. This one's super short. Hope you have a good day.)

Sandy was greeted by compliments from her sunbaes the following day.
"Heard you saved the day yesterday, Sandy. Good job." Park Myeong-su greeted her when he came in.

"Thank you, sunbaenim. I did it for the team." Sandy responded.

"Jae-suk went on and on about how a natural you were on air. Pays off to have a theater arts degree after all. The show must go on and all that." Jeong Jun-ha told her as he passed by the front desk.

"It was nothing sunbaenim. As the boss said 150% commitment." She smilingly replied.

Everyone had something nice to say to her when they passed by.

"Unnie!" Minzy squealed excitedly as she came in the door. "You're going to be the next radio star!"

"Pfft, Mingki-ah it's just a temporary thing. Kyung Jin unnie will come back tomorrow and take over again." She told the younger girl.

Minzy pouted. "I really want to hear your voice on the radio again, Unnie."
Dong-hae was just coming in as Minzy spoke. "You want to hear her on air again, Minzy-ah?"

The girl bobbed her head up and down at their boss like a puppy. If she had a tail she'd be wagging it now.
"Now be a good girl and take over the front desk from your unnie for a few minutes so we can see what we can do about that." He petted Minzy's head affectionately. The girl nodded her head more vigorously.

He turned to Sandy, "I need to talk to you in my office."

Sandy stood up and followed him with furrowed brows wondering what the talk would be about. He went in and waited for her to come in. He closed the door and gestured for her to sit down.

As soon as she sat down he told her without any preamble, "I'm firing you as of today, Sandy."

"What?!!? You can't do that!" She straightened up. "After what I did yesterday for you you're firing me now? You ungrateful wretch. I always knew you've got the devil hiding behind that goody goody two shoes facade you try to project!"

"So...you did it for me and not for the team?" He grinned at her.

She was seeing red. She counted one to ten backwards before answering the infuriating man. "I don't want to spend the rest of my life behind bars so I'll pretend I didn't hear your last statement. I'll gather up my things and leave."

She would rather die than beg the jerk for her job back. She stood up.
He laughed heartily at her reaction. "Hold your horses. Let me finish first. Sit down, Sandy." She sat down. "I'm firing you because I can't have my newest DJ working at the front desk."

She stared at him with mouth wide open. He reached over his desk, placed a finger on her chin and pushed gently upward. "Close your mouth. It makes you more stupid than usual."

She slapped his hand away. "You think I'm stupid? That makes you more stupid because you hired someone stupid as your new DJ."

The stupid man just grinned at her. "You said that. You can't take it back."
She looked confused. "What did I say?"

"You used the word hired. Meaning you've accepted the job offer. You've acknowledged from your own mouth that you are now my stupid new DJ."
Once again he got the last word.
