Office Romance

chapter 2

During my short trip to my boss office I couldn't help but start thinking about what I  could have done that made him request  my presence it wasn't a daily occurrence to be summoned by him.Sure I hate him and all but the pay is good at least it feeds me and pays my rent.I also have amazing co-workers whom we go to the club every weekend to let loose of some of those stress.I followed after my boss quietly into his crappy office that has a stale  smell to it.Mr.Dylan lowered himself excruciatingly slow into his worn out swivel chair he turned 180 degrees facing the book shelf on the far end of the office.Not that the office was much.My kitchen is bigger than this hellhole he calls office seriously I don't know what he uses all the income from the restaurant to do because his appearance is not less than that of the creepy beggar that stays three apartment down mine I wonder what those stupid bimbos he used to fuck sees in him well I guess it is the money not like I care."You called for me?"I asked him in a condescending tone since he seems to busy himself by studying the collapsing book shelf in front of him.I know he thinks that it is intimidating if not for the bad hunch I am having about this meet I would have told him that."Right".He said finally turning to pay attention to me.Thank fucking God I would have snapped if he hadn't stopped that irritating habit."You see,one of my big client payed me a little visit yesterday evening".he paused itching the side of his face and then proceeded to lick that same finger I cringed God this man is so disgusting.He leafed through some documents on his desk if it could be even called that.The poor thing has so many cracks and wobbly legs I wonder how it is still upright.Deciding whatever was there wasn't what he was looking for he looked up at me again"He said somethings about  you not doing your job properly and that he would stop investing in my company if I don't do something about it and I can't have that happen".I have a bad feeling I won't like whatever he says next"You are fired".My stomach dropped.Of all things I imagined him to say I didn't expected that.
         "What do you mean you are  fired?".I asked already feeling a panic attack coming "You know for someone who went to NYU you are pretty dumb.Ofcourse it is what it is you are fired go pack your stuff".I can't breathe I think I am going to faint.No I can't faint not in the presence of my boss.Deep breaths I coached myself in.out in.out in.out in.out when I felt like I was not going to be fainting anytime soon I finally asked what seems to be the most important question."you said one of your clients said I wasn't doing my job well?. please pray tell what that means.Since I started last six month I never once skipped or came late I was always polite to the costumers how come I am not doing my job all of a sudden!huh!"I said in a calm voice surprising my boss as well as myself because I was anything but calm on the insides."well that didn't seemed important so I didn't ask".I huffed of course that's a very likely thing of him to do.i wanted to scream at him,yell profanities but then I decided he wasn't worth it and so I dropped the keys to the locker and the badge on his desk .I wanted to drop my ID card but I decided against it you never know when you will need it and so I turned and walked out of the hellhole he called office head held high spine ramrod straight the posture of a regal female.
       Just as I turned round the hallway I collided into Trixie my some-what close friend here."wassup bitchh! what ya doin' here instead of standing on tables?"she purred in that childish tone that has men falling at her feet.I sighed here goes nothing"well I won't be doing that anymore since i was fired minutes ago"I said as though I don't have a care in the world when all I want to do is hurl up in my room and think about how I found myself in this situation."Now now that isn't a funny joke.I almost believed you.I mean come on why would you be fired?". Trixie exclaimed searching my face frantically as if to see if I was actually pulling one on her."Tell that to Mr.Dylan".I rolled my eyes.I don't blame her though it wouldn't be the First time I pulled some silly trick on her.Deciding I am telling the truth Trixie gaped at me"No fucking way".I walked around her patting her on the shoulder"Now go do your job before you become jobless"Trixie actually looked sad and said"God I will miss you here.You really are the highlight of this place.I will see you at your place tonight once am off the clock what do you think?" "Thanks.I could use some company."I said thankful I  had something to at least  look forward to.When i entered into the restaurant the place is already filled to the brim ranging from people meeting over business dinner to people meeting their family after a long period of time to people on romantic dates all dressed to the nines after all it was a five star hotel.I am not out of here and I already miss the place out of the corner of my eye I saw Jake walking towards me.Jake is actually one of the waiters he is a sweet guy with a charming personality that's if you look over his Playboy ways and his big mouth.Seeing as he is rushing towards me I figured he had heard already and so i quickened my pace and walked out of the restaurant.I hailed a cab quickly and thankfully one showed up.I got into the cab and yelled my address to him I can't deal with sympathies right now I might break down.I walked solemnly into my apartment and stripped then take a second shower this morning.A relaxing bathe is all I need.Water  always calmed me.
   I think it is high time I put my degree into use.I need to start job hunting.This is not the time to wallow in self pity if I don't want to starve and get evacuated
