❝ MY DAY ❞
CHAPTER THIRTEEN✎
It was a stressful day. My boss cut down my pay because he hired more people to work in our office. I was unsurprised, yet frustrated. It had been the second time he'd done this, and I was ready to quit. I couldn't, though. I was still getting paid enough to make my living, but I wanted everything I was promised before I started.
I looked at the computer clock, watching the numbers switch from 5:54 to 5:55. I grabbed my things from my desk and gathered them together, and went downstairs again. I went into my coworker's office and told her to clock me out, as it was my time to leave. She smiled kindly and nodded, although I think she'd always hated me.
I picked up my phone from my purse and opened it, seeing a text from Ethan already.
I'm outside and can't wait to see you.
I smiled widely and put it back in my purse. I waved and said goodbye to my friend Adam, who worked as a salesman. I looked in front of me, a smirk plastered onto his face already. He stood with his back pressed against the passenger side of the car, waiting for me. I walked up to him and he kissed my cheek before opening my door. Secretly I'd hoped my coworkers in the building saw me get into his car, as I'd spoken of Ethan before.
"How was your day, Beck?" Was the first thing he asked when he sat down in the driver's seat. I felt ten times better than I did five minutes ago, just from seeing him.
"Not too good," He gave me a questioning look, asking me to tell him why. I told him the story and his expression fell, feeling sorry for me, I assumed.
"Maybe I should give him a call," he said as he reached into his jacket pocket. My eyes widened and I urged him not to call.
"Why not? It's unfair? Besides I have a close relationship with the Ford company." He insisted. I looked at him with pleading eyes, not wanting to have any problems with my boss. Surely, he'd be pissed at me if Ethan called him about my paycheck.
"I know he'll ask me about it, and I don't want to have to deal with it." He gave up, putting his phone down. He then started the car and backed out of the parking spot.
