I am the absolute worst at descriptions so I will keep this short and simple.
This story is about a shy, 21 year old girl that throws herself into an adventure for reasons she doesn't share with anyone. She soon has to face all the ups and downs tha...
Mr. Greenfield just looked at me, not saying anything, which kind of frustrated me. "So you're just not gonna say anything? You know what, I'm so done with all this bullshit. Fuck you!" I snapped as I got up and grabbed my things, before leaving the room angrily. I quickly put on my shoes and grabbed my jacket, walking out the door and slamming it behind me. I was a hundred percent certain that I just managed to get myself fired but I wasn't too sure any more if that was really such a bad thing. I've just had enough of Mr. Greenfield's bullshit.
I was walking down the street, after checking Google maps and seeing that luckily there was a bus station not far from his place. I would've walked all the way home as well if I had to, even if it had taken me hours. I just wanted to get away from Mr. Greenfield and be by myself.
After I had gotten home I just kicked my shoes off and threw my jacket to the side. I then took my phone out of my pocket and angrily threw it at the wall, the screen cracking in the process. I didn't really care about it right now though. This stupid phone was the reason why I even ended up in that shitty situation. All the worries and stress the past days caused me, seemed to have turned into anger right now. I was angry at myself but also at Mr. Greenfield. I just didn't get why he acted the way he did. One second he's super nice and the next second he makes me feel like a piece of trash. I was so done with his mood swings though and wasn't gonna let him treat me like that any more, even if it meant that I was loosing my job.
I spent the rest of Tuesday just relaxing at home since Mr. Greenfield gave me the day off anyways. I also called Luke, telling him about everything that happened last night and this morning. It was good to talk about it all and get all the frustration and anger off my chest.
Before I went to sleep, I tried to mentally prepare myself for how I was gonna react to being fired tomorrow. I didn't even care that much any more though, since I was just so done with all of it. I'd rather work several bad paid jobs than keep doing this job that gets me close to a mental breakdown every week.
The next morning I got ready like every other day and then made my way to work. When I walked into the building, I was prepared to get yelled at by Mr. Greenfield and then just pack my stuff and leave.

I was on my way to my office, walking past Mary who looked up from her desk and at me. "Good morning" I told her with a small smile and then opened the door to my office. "Uhm Steffi. Mr. Greenfield wants to talk to you. He told me to send you to his office as soon as you get here" she said, sounding a little hesitant and not as bubbly as usually. "Okay. Thanks" I told her and nodded as I turned around and made my way to his office. I bit my lip and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear nervously, before knocking and walking in. "Good morning. You wanted to talk to me?" I said, trying to sound as confident as I could. I knew what was about to come and it did make me nervous but I tried my best not to show it.
"Yeah I did" Mr. Greenfield said as he got up from behind his desk and walked over to the couch, motioning for me sit down with him. I walked over to him a little unsure but then sat down. Mr. Greenfield ran a hand through his hair and took a breath before he started to talk. I had went over this scenario in my head several times last night, so I had already prepared a response. "I wanted to apologise" he then said as he looked at me. "Listen, I don't even-...wait what?" I asked, after processing what he just said. "I wanted to apologise. I've been an ass" Mr. Greenfield said and sighed. "Yeah you have" I said and nodded as I bit my lip. "Yeah. And I'm sorry" he then responded and I just shook my head. "You think a simple 'sorry' is gonna go make me kiss your feet again?" I asked him kinda annoyed. I was quite shocked that he apologised instead of kicking me out of the company but I didn't want him to think that he could treat me like shit and then just fix it with a single sorry.
"You know what. I'm done with all this mental terror." I said as I got up from the couch. Mr. Greenfield just looked at me, a weirdly soft expression on his face. If I didn't know how much of an asshole he can be, I could've almost felt sorry for him. I quickly pushed that thought aside again though.
"No job is worth going trough this" I told him and shook my head as I turned on my heel and left his office. "I quit" I said sternly before closing the door behind me and storming to my office, internally cursing myself for wearing high heels today. I quickly grabbed all my personal belongings and then walked out again. Mary looked at me confused and quite shocked as well. "No PA has ever quit on Mr. Greenfield" she said and I just shrugged. "What happened?" she then asked me. "It's a long story I guess. I better leave now though. It was nice working with you. Thanks for helping me out all the time" I told her with a soft smile and then quickly hugged her. "You too. You were quite refreshing compared to the previous PAs. Take care, Steffi." she told me, smiling as we pulled apart.
I then got into the elevator and pressed the button to the bottom floor. There were a few people who seemed to have witnessed the whole scene and were kinda staring. I couldn't quite believe that I just really did this. I was a bit confused how to feel about it all. On one hand it just felt like a huge relief being lifted off my shoulders but I also couldn't help being upset.
When I got home, I changed into some comfy clothes, before laying down in my bed and cuddling up into the covers. I just needed to process everything and also clear my head a little. There's so much that happened in such a small span of time, which had messed with my mental health a little I guess.
----- I'm really sorry to all of you who had been waiting for an update for quite a while but I had 2 weeks off work that I desperately needed to unwind and I spent most of it with family and friends as well. Let me know what you think of this chapter and what you think might happen next. I love it when you guys share your thoughts on my story, really motivates me to keep writing. :)
