The cold breeze of winter is not one to joke within the streets of
Derinham. Cars speeding, people rushing as the roadway becomes crowded
due to the incoming storm.
"Hey!" a woman yells over at a man trying to cross the road, deciding not
to wait for the traffic.
There I stand watching it all, the impatient civilians that can't wait
for the traffic to be green before crossing, makes me shake my head.
What a world we live in nowadays.
I stand patiently as cars speeding, not wanting to be stopped by another
traffic as I eye the FOX building. I just need to cross the road and I
would be there.
Finally, the green light for pedestrians comes on as all cars comes to a
halt, and we are free to go.
7:58.
I have two minutes more before I am officially fired if I don't get to my
office before then.
FOX enterprise, the most professional company in the whole city, they
neither tolerate late coming, Misbehaviours, laziness or any other
unprofessional activity, which eventually leads to your resignation
letter.
I never knew how to run, call me lazy, but that's just the way i am.
So, walking fast has naturally become a habit.
8:00.
Oh crap!
You dare not mess with the infamous William FOX, and late coming has just
been strictly adhered to every employee at FOX enterprise, but here I am,
coming late at a day like this.
FOX enterprise holds an annual donation to the less and privileged and
that, usually is a very tasky duty, draining everyone of their energy, as
each person has a task to do. And viewing the number of less privileged
nowadays, it's no joke.
And did I mention it's for the whole world.
Yes, he donates to every country, now you see how stressful it gonna be,
when those reporters are filling the whole company to get a view.
Oh and he is stinkly rich.
No 1 on RAW
Riches around the world
magazine.
The security guards see me as they open the door and I thank God, the
halls weren't so full, which means Mr Fox isn't here yet.
Whew I'm not fired!!!
FOX enterprise is magnificent, huge, spacious, and secured. The security
is hectic and powerful.
And nowadays that technology is way advanced, it is pay for the best.
I impatiently wait for my clarification before I can proceed to my
office. Tapping my fingers lightly on the desk as they scan my ID and
other form of verification.
For technology this high, the verification system is not an easy
process , but as I said it is secured as hell.
Suddenly everyone starts to get up, scattering about, doing his or her
job. And that's when I realize,
Mr Fox has arrived.
Oh shit.
Should I run?
Why the hell would I run?
Because he's here, duh?
Idiot, if you run, then you end up looking like a thief and they start
chasing you with all those drones, till they catch you and knowing how
clumsy and lazy you are, you definitely would not go far. But unless you
want to be publicly known, then okay.
Run.
I should just give my resignation letter.
"Good day Mr Fox," The securities greet him. My body trembling, he is
right behind me, is he looking at me? Did he go somewhere else?
I want to know as I didn't hear a single thing, but I know option A is
correct as all eyes are now of on me.
Damn these stupid security shit. If they hadn't taken my time, he
wouldn't have met me here.
I shut my eyes for a while, as I turn to face Mr high and mighty.
Sweet lord.....
They say he is extremely attractive, but I only saw pictures and side
glances, I have never been this close an.....
Oh my ovaries.
Why the hell would someone give birth to a child so handsome and
beautiful.
His stern expression as they all said, high cheekbones, perfection in
all aspects.
Wow.
"And you are?" his voice breaks through.
He says something else but I just stare at him as all he is saying sounds
like lullabies.
"Miss, number one you're in my way, number two as I can see, you're an
employee and you're here late, number three, I asked you a question and
you're still quiet, so if you don't want to get thrown out of here and
save yourself the embarrassment I advice you tell me your name." his
voice now flared.
Wait what?
Did he?
He was talking to me?
Oh my God. I'm so stupid.
What did he say?
"I'm so sorry Mr Fox, I.... Oh my God, I.... I'm just so
sorry, please I don't want to loose my job and if I do, there's no way I
can get a place like this, I'm sorry I got held up in traffic and i.....
"
"please shut up." he raises his finger.
Ohhhhhhh.
Rude much.
"I was just trying... "
"Incase you didn't hear me clearly, I asked what's your name? God you
sound like a fly, you make too much noise,"
"what... I"
"If you take your job seriously and know you won't find a place better
than this, you wouldn't be here late. But as of I, I do have important
things to do than ask for your resignation letter right here. So
miss.... What is your name?"
First of all, did he just call me a fly?
A fly?
A damn fly?
Oh boy, I swear to God if he wasn't so rich and beautiful I will beat
his ass.
He cocks his eyebrow. Why is he doing that?
He asked me a question.... oh my God... I am so getting fired no doubt .
"Oh I'm so sorry...I... I didn't hear you well an.... "
"Are you alright? Because now you sound like a chicken. I asked you a
question and you keep on blabbing,"
A chicken?
Now a chicken?
"This is the last time I would ask. Your name miss?"
"Rose Micheals" I speak immediately and utterly disgraced.
"Now, Miss Micheals, I would like to see you in my office after today's
event is over, and you dare not leave this enterprise until you have seen
me. Am I clear?"
"Y.... Yes Mr Fox." and so he leaves as I am pushed to the side by one of
his men.
What's worse than being fired?
I tell you, public humiliation. That's what worse.
