"Enough is enough. I don't want to hear excuses anymore.", my boss yelled at me.
"Sir, please let me explain I'll-"
"Get out. You have cheated the company! Get out I said!"

I left the cabin with a distraught face. It was my fault. I had terribly passed out last night after a heavy dose of champagne. Since it was after work, I had my USB in my bag which had quite a lot of confidential matters in it. I left my bag on the counter to use the washroom and guess what? I passed out in there and my bag was stolen... And after I got into my senses, I got to know what an ass I was!

That USB cost me my job.

And as I walked out, the boss' personal assistant Florence Higgins looked at me sympathetically as if she related with what I just went through. She had been a very good friend of mine there. 'No-gossip' queen and I-dont-give-a-fuck kind. We could relate on every matter in the universe, from Trump to Modi! She was way better than the other gossip queens & blockhead kings in the other cubicles. Well, now we had to part ways.

In a low tone, she told me about the department I'm getting shifted to and the places I'll have to sign in the documents regarding the punishment transfer.

"Will they really call me back in here if I do well there? What's the chance?", I asked her.
"Hey, chill, girl! I've talked to him and you will be better off in the new department than now. Trust me!", she smirked.
"Ughh I wish I hadn't done that.. ugh it makes me cringe!"
"I said chill, you'll be alright. It's just the adjacent department.. just next to ours!"
"What? The taxation one? You serious? We still can hang out? Woo okay fine. I'm less stressed now. Thank you bae!", I was celebrating my demotion.

It was much better there, always. They were all so cool there in the Taxation dept. They could take a day off and go hang out, all without any yells or danger considering their boss. That guy must be cool as well. The-chill-type. Woah. I'm in.
Let's rock till I come back here. Or maybe not? It might be forever better there? Or .. ugh. Whatever.
