~•*•The next day at work.•*•~
"And how did we get here?! Our entire stock is going to fall! Our investors are going to pull out! We're going to lose millions! Billions!"
Mr. Rink yelled at Carter and I.
I cringed.
"This isn't our fault! Poppy made this personal!" Carter defended me.
Mr. Rink narrowed his eyes "Son. I don't care who started it or why. All I care about is the $1.5 million dollar investment Poppy's dad, Mr. Ferhel, pulled out of our business!"
I rolled my eyes "So you lost one investment. I doubt others will pull out just because one person did. Ferhel could have pulled out for a number of reasons."
Mr. Rink glared at me "This is all your fault!"
"My fault?!" I questioned back.
"Your fault! You could've just had a civil conversation with her! Why was she even here? And why did you have to escort her out the building?!" He questioned, crossing his arms.
I crossed my arms too and glared down Mr. Rink. "Because she bailed my dad out of jail and came here to rub it in my face. So I had security escort her out of the building." I added a shrug at the end for good measures.
He glared at me again "This is terrible publicity for the company! You're dad is... was.. in jail and you kicked Ms. Ferhel out?! I have to see if Mr. Ferhel and I can negotiate a deal." He mumbled ag the end and rushed off to his office.
Once he was gone my office was dead silent.
I looked over at Carter and threw my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek repeatedly.
"Thank you for defending me." I mumbled as I buried my facing into his neck.
I heard him chuckle as he wrapped his arms around me "Anytime darling."
~~
Not 20 minutes later he came back with results that made me run for the hills, pleading for safety from the tsunami that was my emotions.
"Carter, the deal is he will keep his investment in our company if you date Poppy."
Carter's face went paper white pale and I literally choked on air.
"That shouldn't be a problem, should it?" Mr. Rink questioned, raising a brow at Carter's distraught face.
Carter didn't reply. Neither did I.
"Should it?" Mr. Rink questioned again, leaning into Carter so that they were eye level.
I was literally biting my nails, would Carter accept the deal?
Right in front of me too?
Carter cleared his throat.
"Yeah. It is an issue actually because I'm already seeing someone." He stated, without a shiver in his voice surprisingly.
Mr. Rink's eyes widened and his brows shot up. "My son has a girlfriend? Are you sure she's not just another one of your hook ups?" He asked skeptically.
I was about to object but Carter beat me to the chase.
"What? Absolutely not. Amber means so much more to me."
Mr. Rink's eyes immediately snapped over to me, then back to his son, then to me again.
Then he shook his head. "No. No office relationships. You're dating Poppy now. That's the end of this."
"No." Carter bluntly says. His father's brows shoot up again but he clears his face quicker this time.
A glare settling in his eyes and a frown in his brows.
"No?" He questioned.
Carter shook his head "I'm dating-"
"Amber you're fired.
Leave this building at once.
Your stuff will be mailed to you. This company's name will return to Rinked to the Brink and you are to never step foot in this building or engage my son in any sort of interactions ever again.
We appreciate your help. You will receive your last payment for this month in at most 10 business days."
Then he spun on his heels and left my office.
Or, I guess it's the office now.

Hey guys!
Well that escalated quickly.
XD
What will Amber do? Will she fight for this job? She doesn't really care about it that much and its not like the work was fun.
But she did get the very much needed paycheck as well as she got to see Carter every day.
What do you think? Will she fight for the job?
As always guys please vote, share, and comment!
Thanks guys!
