My mouth falls open and I got up from my seat after I heard what he had said."wait, what! are you[ firing me?",I ask naively.
"Andrew, you earn £825,000 a week and that is too much for the company to pay so am afraid we have to let you go"
"Come on, your just talking bull shit"
"I am serious here,The amount of money we pay you just for being our director of sales is too much".
"You have a fucking personal assistant you pay £500,000 isn't that irrelevant"
"As you said, My PA… You know You have to be selfish in business And do what only favours you"
"So you are seriously doing this"
"Sorry Andrew".
He hands me the letter of resignation, I hesitate to sign it but I eventually do.
"Thank you for your service"he blurts out
"Fuck you,You guys are going to regret this one day I promise" I throw the documents at his face and storm out of his office.
*******
As I got home I walked up straight to my room and propped myself up on the bed digesting all that had happened earlier
Out of rage i pick up the table lamp smashing it to the ground
The pieces of the broken glass are shattered everywhere me feeling very derailed I get up and prop myself on the bed and pass off.
*****
It's 7pm and I after taking a shower I get dressed into a t-shirt with the face of xxxtentacion printed on it I also slip into some sweatpants and my crocks as I head out of my house
I get into my car and start u the engine
I head to a bar just to drown out my thoughts of the fact that I had lost my job earlier that morning
As I walk into Star Trek bar and club the place is a little bit crowded but there are still some empty seats
I walk up to the attendant "what would you like to order" a female figure asks me, she has long wavy blonde hair and and blue eyes she looks like she's in her mid 20s
"Vodka Pls, two bottles"
She pauses with one hand on the counter"Want to get high?, What happened " her eyes fixed on me
"lost my funking job"
"that's bad,what kind of job were you into"she asks as she picks up a vodka alongside with a miniature glass and she places it on the counter
"Business management, I'm the general manager at alpha"
"I was" pouring the drink into the glass her eyes meets mine
She hands me the glass I pick it up and take a sip of the substance
"by the way what's your name"i ask her
"Kim"
"Kardashian" I pout, a small laugh escapes her throat
"Nah, Miller"
"okay Kim Miller let's share a drink"
"alright, my shift ends in about 20 minutes so maybe we could share a drink"she wipes her hand with a rag and adds "Promise not to get drunk"her gaze meeting mine "I promise" I pick up my glass and walk up to an empty table and wait for her to show up
About twenty five minutes later she materializes taking a seat know front of me with a bottle of vodka and places it on the table
This time she has completely changed from her waitress outfit and is in something more casual
This time she wears a navy blue t-shirt and a pair of matching ripped jeans and sneakers
"so tell me about you" she slides a glass to me and hands the bottle and i pour the substance into the glass
"about what exactly?"
"like why do you work here" she cups her hands together and sighs
"well" she takes a pause
"while I was in college my parents passed away"
"Killed I should say, my uncle planned to kill him and take over everything we owned","he succeeded though, I was school when I got the news my parents had passed on in an accident" "there was no evidence but I knew he was the one that had planned the accident, My uncle had already transferred all my dads property to his name"
"I could no longer pay for tuition so I had to drop out"
******
I get home at about 11pm a little bit drunk but still conscious of environment
I make my way up to my room get myself comfortable on the bed
I pass out till the next morning
