clapping only to be met with a smiling....wait...Nick? What was Nick doing here? Was he here the whole time?
I blinked surprised when others followed and the conference room was filled with the sound of people clapping. Why were they clapping? It was not like I did a magnificent job. I had no confidence in myself.
I looked at where Roy sat but he was not clapping and his face looked like he could kill someone. I sighed dejected, I knew it. I didn't do a good job. I sadly closed my laptop and waited to be told to leave or was I supposed to tell myself to leave?
"I will make a decision, in our next meeting. There are still changes to be made to come up with the perfect codes for this app which is our current project now. You are all dismissed."Roy said after everyone stopped slapping.
Everyone started leaving and I too assumed that it was time I left too but taking a few steps, Roy called my name.
"Where are you going, Miss Zoey?" he asked and I stopped. I feared he might call me but I feared what he was going to say to me the most.
I sighed and turned around to look at him. By this time, everyone had left except Marcus but then when I thought he would stay, he left and now it was just me and Roy.
"You need something boss?"I decided to ask since he didn't initiate the talk. This guy was very weird, he was the one who called me and he was silent now as if he was not the one who called.
"Good job," he said and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion wondering if I was hearing him right.
"Sorry?"I had to confirm if I was the one with a hearing problem.
Roy looked at me and my heart beat so fast as I waited for him to say those words I thought I heard." I hoped you could disappoint so that I fire you." he said again. He wasn't going to repeat what he said, was he? Was it going to kill him to repeat two words?
I wanted to roll my eyes but recalling he kind of enunciated I still had the job, I smiled. It felt nice to be sure because the mess I made, caused me to doubt if I still had the job.
"What is so funny?" he asked and then I stopped smiling. I wasn't allowed to be happy or was he too dumb to realise I was happy because of what he said?
"Nothing, boss."I shook my head not daring to ask my thoughts out loud.
He looked at me and I swear I could feel very conscious of his stare
