The dirt on jewel

Chapter 3

Seeing Arnold's ferocious way it really sent shivers down my back. But the worst was still to come. Sasha and Natalie left after being disappointed because of the lack of professionalism and the attitude of the staff,I was later informed by Arnold. Samantha appeared in the room once again,I knew what she would say,I think I dreaded this moment the most.

"Oh my! Miss Adams I had only suspected that you lack professionalism but,oh dear! It's a shame that you don't even know how to work in an office forget being professional. I really can't believe how you could mess up something...ahh really,I don't want to waste my energy on you. I will be heading out,Arnold take care of the matters with her.I don't want to see her face when I get back!"

"I am sorry,I will take care of everything."Arnold tried assuring her.

"Arnold what happened. I brought the files and the coffee,how come they weren't satisfied?" I tried asking Arnold,the only one who could still tell me something.

"Ayana,today is just not your day,and nor is it Samantha's. Pack your belongings and leave,Samantha won't be happy to see you again."

"But Arnold what did I do,at least I should be aware of my mistakes,please Arnold." I begged him as I had before but this time I wasn't given chances.

"No Ayana you don't deserve anything,you were careless from the beginning. I don't know whether you liked or hated Samantha but this wasn't about her,It was about you and what you wanted to accomplish,but I am sorry to say despite being so determined you have failed to impress us." Saying this Arnold left,he left me embarrassed telling me that how immature I have been.
After this I tried to find Leya and Cullen but they had gone to give the supplies at a shooting site so instead I just walked back home.
My house wasn't so homely after my father passed away,In fact that incident just broke us apart. After dad's death due to Alzheimer's,my brother fled to Taiwan,he doesn't contact us much and we don't know what he does there. My mom just stayed locked up in her room,sometimes staring at the ceiling and other times just writing in her diary. She never allowed anyone to see her diary but it was the only thing with which she seemed normal. I was the only one in my family to recover this fast and probably it was because I knew that now I have to work not only for myself but also for my mother and because I had promised my father to keep the family together regardless of the situation.Some days I missed him very much,it has already been almost 4 years now. I can hardly believe how things have changed so immensely during such a short period. I met Leya,started up in college,worked part-time to give off the loans my brother had taken to go to Taiwan. Life was never a bed of roses but it had never been so miserable either.

No matter what happens or how much I succeed these past years will remain like scars on me,the scars that never heal but just grow old with time. Scars hurt,they hurt even after 10 and 20 years because the mere sight of them is a story of pain and grief itself.
