Everyone had ups and downs… but i believe my life's only filled with downs.. downs digging deeper that the ground!
The moment we entered Mr. Brown cabin , I started to pleads, it was all my fault! if i haven't opened my mouth and suggested them… ! dumb pete!
"m so sorry mr. brown, this shouldn't have happened if only i had been quiet but alas! my apologies, i know you must be feeling all raged and uncomfortable — of course you will, after all you're straight and you had to do that… but i swear i didn't do it on purpose but m ready to take responsibility —"
"William!"….. huh — i glanced over and he approached me taking his usual long strides, feet tapping , reverberating making me cower away…
maybe i'm not that ready yet!
he inclined his head and stared at me, his brown eyes were like's devil… ready to peep into you soul, his features were calm exact opposite of mine, i was sure to get fired or worse get killed!
oh no I'm too young to die~~~
"william, address me with my name, we want this to look real and it won't if you go around calling me mr. brown." i heard him monologue without any sentiment.
"okay,—and about—" and again he cut me off
"Peter… whatever happened earlier was inevitable, so let's not waste our time discussing, rather focus on the situation at hand." he finished his sentence and walked back to his desk,
while he searched for something, i kept my guard straight, and stood where i was.

With each passing minute the atmosphere inside the meeting room was getting suffocating —due to two reasons, one— mr, bro… uhh no… William was pissed , his new project was a failure causing him a huge loss and second — everyone's eyes were on me,some with disgust and some with jealousy….they were looking at me as if m some alien species but amongst all , one pair looked hurt , and angry.
those belonging to my only friend — Adam Smith.
oh boy , pete you're in trouble, adam's mad!
i was busy thinking ways to coax adam when a loud bang flinched me, i veered around to find William with his murderous aura surrounding him, the glass he banged had shattered all over, with a few shards digging into his flesh.
i gaped but kept my silence, one must know when not to mess with devil!
"how did this happened? this is what i pay you for! to slack off… your idiocy have cost me 10 million dollars! fu*king 10 million dollars!" he barked with venom laced in his voice, "you're all fired! Get out and get lost! And pray to heaven that we never meet again!"
He said his voice deep and threatening, making my skin goosebumps, he stood up and pivoted away.
this is what I mean when I refer to him as the devil! He never gives second chances, he's rude and scary and he insults and degrades one's work if not satisfied with it.
Poor advertising team! But I was glad Adam worked for financing.
I looked around and I found those 5 employees of advertising team giving me their puppy eyes!
Why are they staring at me like that? I ain't going to talk to him, nope.…no, never! It will be like walking in a lion's den! And I'm not stupid!
Just as I was about to leave, a softy pair of warm fingers held on my wrist, I turned —
"Please Mr kale, coax Mr Brown to not fire us, to give us a second chance, we know we are at fault but please —" Mrs. Blake, an elderly woman in her early 40s, advertising team head,
I wanted to deny her downright but I stalled—
She's in dire need of money, Pete — heard her husband went through bypass surgery, — I should help her!
"I cannot guarantee anything but I will try my best," I reassured her patting the back of her hands.
.
.
I shouldn't have said that! I could have just walked away but no I had to give her a glimpse of hope, now if that devil kills you it's on your back, Pete!
I cursed myself, I was standing before Williams's cabin, but not a single muscle of my flesh had the courage to walk in,
Be cool Pete, you got this!
I set foot inside and instantly he yelled the hell at me.
"Fuck*ng knock next time —— Peter?…Where were you ?"
I was about to reply when I saw his gaze shifting to my hands or specifically to the first-aid kit. "I—, um,
You have a few pieces of glass shards dung in your palm." I clarified, but he seemed to have not noticed it,
"hmmmm,"
Okay, that's your cue! Pete, help him and then quickly requests him to reconsider his decision, he might compiled in regards of gratitude! — yeah simple and easy!!
