STONED

Chapter Thirteen

next day, when Chris went to his job. Mister Meyers called him in.  all these years when ever he called him in he always received good news. but today wasn't going to be his day. he went in with a cheerful smile on his face. Mister Meyers asked him to sit down and began the process of tearing his life apart "listen Chris i have known you all these years and i know you are the best man this company has seen. but i am sorry that i am the person to let you know that your services won't be needed any more. you are fired." followed by a silence for a few minutes.

Chris was shocked. he was shaken.for few moments he couldn't digest that he was getting fired for being the best man the company had. this wasn't a valid reason. he tried to be polite, tried to remain calm but that tension was still in his firm voice which was trembling that day "how could you do this to me? don't kid with me man! you know how hard i have worked to achieve all this that i have. man! i have a family how can you do this to me."m

Mister Meyers offered him a half  empty glass of water and said "it hasn't been the most difficult day for me but i had to go ahead and do it. but at the end of the day its not me making the decisions. if you want i can suggest your name to different companies."

he said "no, haven't you done enough favors for me. thanks for all that you have given me. " he gathered all his stuff and left the place where he had worked for almost all his life.
