"[Name], wait!" You abruptly turned around, a miffed expression directed towards the struggling herbivore trying to keep up with your pace.

"Wait for what? For you to apologize? To say it was 'just a fling'?"

"Well..." You huffed an aggravated sigh.

"Figures the CEO of a corporation would try to cover up any of his flaws. I hope you're happy with what you've done, because I'm afraid this will be the last I want to see of you." The deer stared at you with wide eyes, mouth agape.

"Y-you aren't suggesting...?"

"I am. As of today, our relationship is over, Louis. Go find someone else's heart to toy with." You turn back around, walking away from the flabbergasted CEO of the Horns Conglomerate.

It's been a straight week since you caught your ex-fiance cheating on you with another animal, and since then you haven't heard a single thing from him or his company. You expected him to constantly be harassing you night and day. You know he has connections.

You shake those thoughts from your head. Thinking about it will just turn your mood sour again. You got up from your bed, getting dressed for your job over at the local cafè. Walking down the roads leading there, you slowly glanced up at the sky.

Dark clouds greeted you. You mentally cursed as you realized you forgot to bring an umbrella. You upped your pace, hoping it wouldn't pour before you got to shelter.

A while later, and you turned the corner to where the cafè was. It wasn't anything spectacular, but there was a variety of things for both herbivores and carnivores so it was popular enough to stay afloat. You approached the entrance, opening the door and hearing the jingle of the bell above.

"Welcome! What can I..." A voice called, before trailing off.

"Hey, sorry I'm late." You brush past your co-worker and into the changing room, where you notice your locker looked cleaned out. Raising a brow, you looked at it more closely.

"Huh..." You muttered. With a shrug, you got changed into your work clothes, reentering the cafè. You take your spot at the register before a tap on your shoulder stops you.

"U-um, [Name]?" You turn your head to the sheep staring at you.

"What's up?"

"The boss wants a chat with you..." She spoke softly, before walking away to attend to an impatient customer. Raising a brow, you walk away from the register and toward your boss's office. Knocking gently, you hear a voice from within telling you to enter.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Yes. Please, take a seat." You sit yourself with your hands in your lap. Your boss takes in a breath, letting it out slowly. "[Name], it pains me to say this, but something has come up."

"Something? What is it?" Your boss fidgets slightly, looking everywhere but you. Finally, he speaks.

"Due to confidential reasons, I'm afraid I can't let you work here anymore." Your eyes go wide, and your back stiffens.

"Huh? But why?" He shakes his head.

"I can't say."

"Bullshit! Why so sudden?" You shout, getting up and slamming your hands on his desk. He shrinks in his chair, but closes his eyes.

"I'm sorry [Name] but I just can't tell you! Your last paycheck will come to you soon. Please, don't ask anymore questions." You stared wide eyed at your boss. What the hell was going on?! You closed your eyes and exhaled loudly.

"Fine. I don't know what's going on, but I'll respect your privacy."

"I'm sorry [Name], but it's out of my hands." You nodded solemnly to your boss, turning to leave. When you left the office, you immediately headed back to the changing room, changing back into your casual clothes. Your co-worker gave you a confused look as you gave them a short hug.
