My mom was quiet before speaking." As happy as I would like to do that, I just can't. I'm very far, I went to check out this vineyard I want to buy. Why don't you ask Olivia?" she suggested but I knew that was a dead end, Olivia was not around.
I smiled nodding though I was sad inside."Yeah, let me do that."I didn't have to explain to her that Liv was not around.
What was I going to do now? Admitting failure seemed like the better choice here if I wanted to leave.
So I closed my laptop and got up after putting it in my bag. I walked to stand just in front of Roys's desk and smiled."I admit failure, you happy now?"I asked looking at him.
He stared at me and I could not tell what he was feeling because his face was just neutral, like it was dead. He was handsome, very handsome but his face had no life. Why would anyone decide to do this to themselves?
"Who did you call? Is that person the reason you gave up?" he asked and I blinked surprised.
So he cared enough to assume I gave up?." That's none of your business, I am done here. I failed because I could not complete your work, no, I don't know how to decode the codes you gave me. Wasn't that your mission, to give me hard codes that I could not crack? Congratulations, you win."I ignorantly said.
"You are not leaving till you complete the work," he said with finality.
Why was walked to the door only to find it locked
"So, after the bathroom break, you will come back?" he said more as a statement than a question.
"No... I need to be somewhere at this time. Maybe I should just officially inform you now, that I can't be working at five o'clock."I revealed.
Roy looked at me."And why is that?"
"One, because I am supposed to have been done with work like an hour ago according to the company's policy. Every employee should work for eight hours."I angrily explained.
"You are not like other employees, you are under my instructions not the company's. That means you do what I say and the company's policy doesn't apply to you. Do I need to remind you that you took on my challenge to show me you are fit to be here? You need to show me through actions so that I can be convinced you fit here, under my harsh supervision. I'm disappointed to say I don't see a future with you, you just failed a simple test today. What would you do when I assign a hard one?" he lectured and I felt like crying.
Was I in hell? Did I deserve this torture? He was so close to achieving his goal because I wanted to quit in just one day. He was talking as if he was innocent and it was my fault I could not get the work right.
" You are not being fair, and you know it. Those codes are not easy. And sorry for disappointing you but I'm starting to feel like I don't want this job anymore. I am supposed to have fun working, but all I am experiencing is mental torture and physical exhaustion."
