I stood there dumbstruck. I could literally feel the sweat building in my armpits ready to soak my blouse.
"I...I... uh... Heyyy friend!" I grinned nervously.
What? Friend? you are fired now, missy.
I watched him there staring at me. Eyes on me like a lion on a prey. "I am not going to ask again. What are you doing inside my office?"
"I'm sorry sir. I'm just cleaning your office." I'm a nervous wreck. "I'm sorry, I must go." I tried my best not to look in his face but my stupid brain didn't listen. I gasp so loud I'm sure the security on the first floor heard.
I'm totally screwed now. It's the same guy I cussed couple months back who bumped into me while playing farm heroes. This arrogant prick again who claimed to be Calan Mcknight. He didn't recognize me thank god. He stood at the door like a raging bull ready to charge at me. Teeth clenched. I walked towards him. Trying to hide the glasses in my hands as I didtn get the chance to stuff it on the couch as planned. Stupid Kerry. Stupid stupid!!
"I know what you did," he said proudly with a stupid grin on his face.
I stopped dead in my tracks. My chest got tight as I wanna jump through this glass right now.
"Huh?! I... Uh..." unable to find the words to say, I made an attempt to run. His body blocked me and I tripped to the floor on my ass.
"It seems like you have a thing for falling on your ass he said looking down on me. Not even the courtesy to offer me a hand to help me up. So he recognized me after all.
"And can see that you are a real bully." I shot back. I cover my mouth as I realized the words that ai had spew. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." I cried. I felt strong arms yanked me off the floor. Pulling me over to the couch. My head gets light as all sorts of things starts to go through my head right now. I wanted to cry. I can't believe I was running from the boss. He is a millionaire if not a billionaire right now. What the hell was I going to do after i ran? Never come back to work and end up living on the street?
"who the fuck do you think you are? coming in here breaking things and think you can scam me with these..." He pulled the pair of glasses from my hand and threw them on the floor. "Fake Shit!" He yelled at me. Looking down at me as if im a filthy mad man on the streets. Nobody has ever yelled at me before. Not even my dad. I felt the lump in my throat and my eyes start to get watery.
"You stupid girl broke a $3,000 glasses do you know that. I'm goung to have you idiot in jail within the next hour!" Hearing this I went down on my knees begging him not to call the police.
"Please... It was an accident. My dad... I need... I need... I'm so sorry" I tried to get my words right but it was no use. He stood over me giving me the worlds dirtiest glare anyone could ever receive. My hands start to tremble and my body got weak. He took his phone from his pockets.
"I am calling security this instant. You are fired! And i will have your picture in the tabloids tomorrow so that you won't get employed anywhere in this city."
With that said, my breath left my body. I was dumbfolded and literally felt like puking. I watched him as tears clouded my eyes as he dialed his phone and walked away.
I'm not a strong girl. I'm not used to standing up for myself as I never put myself in peoples was before. With this happening now makes me realize how weak I am. I stood from the floor and wipe my tears away. He was behind his desk talking to I dint even care who. I poised myself as I headed fo the door. Taking whatever I got tonight which I think I deserve. As I headed for the door, something forced me to turn back. I did so, went up to him and stare straight into his dark brow angry eyes.
"Thank you!" I said. Mr. Mcknight was taken aback by my words. Staring at me as if he was expecting me to say somthing more. "Thank you for wrecking a poor girl's dream of cleaning floors and toilet because she wants to be somebody in life. Thank you... Because you just killed me with your arrogant words." Tears run down my face and my voice began to break. "I'm sorry that I break your glasses. I truly am. But what are we without money and possessions? Nothing. We're all going to the same place one day."
He stared back as I wipe my tears away. With that, I cleared my locker and pack me bags and left.
