"Yes sir, is there something you need me to do?
" just stand there.
"sir? She wondered if she didn't hear correctly.
" Do you need hearing aids now, I said just stand there. He orders and buries his head back into his laptop.
Isla who had been standing and walking for a while was having leg cramps now, but was not bold enough to make a sound. She just stood there like her boss told her to, enduring the pain.
His eye was glued to his screen yes, but he wasn't doing anything but looking at the giant clock in the laptop, counting the seconds as they went by. Trying really hard to hold on for as long as he could, his whole body was starting to burn up, he was getting drenched in his own sweat. His head was also starting to ache.
"Get out"
"Sir? The lady asks confused.
" I said get the hell out. His thundery voice could be heard from outside the door. Making everyone's attention turn towards his office, wondering what could be going on in there.
"I think he just fired her" someone says.
"Good for her if that's the case. Jennie mumbled.
Isla just couldn't understand what this was all about., but she was definitely not going to wait to find out. The fire in his eyes was burning her inside out from where he sat. She turned and left the office.
But he was looking pale. Was he maybe sick, did he probably catch a cold? The whether was pretty cold that morning. She remembered he used to get cold easily. did he probably call her to help him get some drugs maybe? She found herself wondering different kind of things. Why did he suddenly turn pale, he was looking fine when she entered.
She was so busy thinking of what could possibly be wrong with Damon that she didn't notice everyone staring at her.
"So you finally got yourself fired. I really thought you'll last longer. Jennie snickered.
" I know right, you should have been more obedient to us, we would have shown you the secrets on how we ended up being the only ladies in department 25, and how we survived this long. Shelley added.
" that's useless now Shelley, she already lost her job. There's no use in thinking of what could have been. Angie states and Isla couldn't help but wonder what they were all talking about.
" I didn't lose my job. She states and everyone's eyes widened.
"wait what? If you didn't lose your job, what was that just now? We all heard the boss yell for you to get out, doesn't that mean you lost your job?
" Yes he told me to get out, he didn't say I was fired. I'm sorry Jennie, I have to go get something. I'll finish copying the files when I get back. Ben, I'll be back soon. She said and ran out of the office leaving everyone stunned.
The boss yell for her to get out, doesn't that mean she lost her job? Someone asks, but the question just fell to the air, because no one had the answer.
Because of Isla, he had now gone back to carrying a paper bag all the time. It's been like two or so years that he last carried a paper bag in his possession, but here he was inhaling from it.
Ten minutes. He had held on for ten minutes. It was so painful, his head was about to explode. It made him wonder if Dee's method will work, or was he just punishing himself unnecessarily.
Knock knock...
Yes?
Sir can I come in? What did she want, he clearly told her to get lost. He picked up the phone on his desk, and was going place a call over to that side, but then he looked from the paper bag in his hand to the door, a d back at the paper bag.
He was going to try, try to fight it for as long as he could. He was going to try fighting his phobia.
"Come in"
"What? He asks as soon as she walked in she remembered to keep her distance, and just stay where she stood. But if she stood here, how was she going to give him what she bought.
" um, Damon... His brow raised as she called his name like to ask her how dare you. But she also realizes her mistake and quickly corrects herself.
" I mean Mr King, I noticed that you were kind of pale, and I know you get cold easily so I bought you this. She held out what was in her hands.
He lazily snickers... You know I get cold easily. The words made him scoff. Who was she kidding. How do you know I get cold easily, you've only been around for less than a week? He reminds her irritatingly.
"OH I _ I _ I meant that's not what I was going to say. I mean I once had a friend who usually caught the cold easily, but would never say anything because he wanted to stick around me instead of going home to rest. So I thought you might also have a cold.
A friend. The sound of the word alone was annoying to him. She never had a considered him human, more or less a friend.
Why was she saying all this rubbish now., making his head go back in time for a split second. At least a friend would have still been fine, but friends don't do what she did. She was just a conniving witch incapable of any emotions or feelings but deceit and evil.
"so, you're comparing Damon King with some stupid looser from your past.
" No, I just _ what I'm just saying_ I _... Where were the words always going when he talked to her. She really wanted to yell and say he wasn't stupid, and that she was. And that she was sorry and beg for his forgiveness, but nothing, no word left her mouth.
"Stop your stupid stuttering, what are you holding? She holds up the little paper bag with her.
" it's medicine for cold" she explained.
"really? Let me see.
He didn't say anything, yet her heart lit up at the fact that he was even going to take a look at it., she pulls out the medicines from the bag, holding them up so he could see.
" hm hmm... Miss Moore, is there a heel on your shoe. He says with a smile on his face. But it was an unfamiliar smile, it wasn't like anything she remembered. This smile seemed to carry something sinister behind it.
" Yes, sir just a little.
"A little will do. Now Miss Moore, take of one shoe. Now she was confused what did taking pills for cold got to do with her shoes?she took them off anyway.
" On your knees. He commanded, and even the unfamiliar smile she saw earlier had disappeared. She goes down on her knees without any questions. Their contract did state that he had the right to make her do whatever he wanted, and if she didn't want to she could pay the fine.
Open the medicine, and pour them out on the ground, she looked at him with questions in her eyes.
"but sir" she wanted to say something, but seeing his face, she kept her words to herself and pours the pills on the floor.
"Now take your heel and smash every single tablet to dust. Make sure you don't miss a single one.
