*next day after the incident*
I had no phone, so I couldn't get a hold of anyone. Luckily, I still have some money so this afternoon, I'll go buy me a new phone. I got up extra early today to go to work. Since I'm phone less, I had to get to work early in case something happens and they can't get a hold of me. I caught a bus and went inside the florist department. As soon as I got in, I saw Corbyn.
"Corbyn!"
I gave a little wave.
*Corbyn looks back and his face dropped as soon as he saw Arissa*
*Corbyn ran over to Arissa*
"Arissa, what are you doing here? I'm been trying to reach you, why didn't you pick up your phone?"
"Yeah...about that. I actually..."
Corbyn cut me off before I could finish my sentence.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you need to leave and make sure no one sees you. Go!"
*Corbyn tries to shoo away Arissa and slighty pushing her to go back*
"Corbyn. What are you doing? What's going on? Is something wrong?"
*Corbyn kept looking around to make sure that no one sees Arissa*
"The CEO is looking for you and said that it's urgent. I don't know what it is but I know that it's not going to be good. Just say that you are taking a sick day."
The CEO? Zane? The jerk from last night? Whatever mess he is doing must have something to do with last night.
*Arissa pushes through Corbyn and walks to the Manager Lee's office*
*Arissa arrives at the Manager Lee's office and knocks three times*
"Come in."
*Arissa enters the room*
Zane Bolvio is still the arrogant man from last night, but since he is my boss in the work department, I have to show respect.
*Manager Lee quickly gets up from sitting on the chair*
"Mr. Bolvio, she's here. Arissa is here now."
*Manager Lee makes a nervous gesture to say something with his body and face*
"Mr. Bolvio, you demanded to see me."
My tone was definitely different from before when I talked to him.
*Mr. Bolvio looks up at Arissa from sitting down*
"You're here, Miss James. Please take a seat."
I don't know what he is up to, but like Corbyn said, it's not good.
I gently smiled but in an arrogantly way to him.
"No, thanks Mr. Bolvio. I hope this meet will be short. I have other things to do. So please say what you must."
I was really hoping he was not going to mention firing me.
*Mr. Bolvio sits back in his chair*
"Alright then, I'll cut to the chase. I'm going to promote you."
"Huh?"
My face was genuinely confused, and so was Manager Lee's.
*Manager Lee's mouth dropped lower than his chin*
"Pro...promote her? Mr. Bolvio, Arissa has only been here for two days and she is still inexperienced. It would make sense if you demote her."
*Manager Lee laughed uncontrollably at his unfunny joke*
