My voice reverberated in a the four walls, not giving a damn he was my boss. "And you failed to do it. Now listen here, I don't work with a lazy, dull, incompetent, unreliable and irresponsible mediocrity of an employee who's not half as committed as the owners of this organization which unfortunately for you, includes me.

This is a fanfiction! Please understand this is for fun! (Warning character death) I unpublished all the beginning and I do not plan on bringing it back, it will be deleted soon, but I shall explain what happened for you.

Ink teased her about it and they had became friends leading to Error telling him the whole truth. They end up getting together, and something happens.
