WHITNEY's POV
Why am I being paranoid, is not like I did something wrong? I was just doing my job right? I turned a blind eye to it and turned back to my work. This is the only way I can get back my position. I added small touches to my ideas and before I knew it, it was time to head home. I packed my things and drove home.I went back home and met my parent doing their usual whispering. I was fed up and decided to confront them head on. They refused to tell me. My patience has weared of. Am tired of all this hiding and secret in my own home. Does one of them have a chronic disease and they don't want me to know? Is one of them about to die? Oh please God don't let any of these be true. I don't know what I would do if it were true. And I couldn't even imagine it happening. How would I cope and continue living if I lose any of them.
The next day was the day we are supposed to present our ideas in the company but I couldn't go. Not until I find out what is going on between my parents. I can't seem to find peace in the house. Am not even comfortable in my own home anymore. I stayed in the house but nothing came about I still didn't know what was happening. I decided to leave them since they didn't want me to know.. I had to forget about it even though it's going to be difficult. I decided to focus on my career and get back the position I applied for so I sent my proposal and called Mr. Grande informing him about my absence and apologized. He assured me it was okay. I bade him farewell and turned back to my work.
The D- day finally arrived. Gosh, could my heart stop racing. I settled for a white turtleneck with pants, a jacket 🧥 and stilettos 👠. I drove to the venue of the occasion. The venue showed how august the occasion was. The decoration was on point and am sure the event planner has gotten something big to fill his or her pocket. I took my seat 💺inside the building. It was when the program started and the representatives were presenting that I realized my idea was chosen. I have never been this happy 😃. Our company got the project and I was so proud of myself. I finally got back my position as the marketing director. Well, that was a big imagination 💭.
My happiness was short lived when I felt a hard stare directed towards me from Mr. Karris. What have I done this time? Oh God please not again. Working with this man is like walking on eggshells everyday. After the programme we went out for a celebratory dinner 🍽️. The CEO was not present. Wasn't this dinner for everybody in the company,so why was he absent? Well, at least I can eat in peace without any hard glares and nagging. Who would have thought that was my last dinner 🍽️ with the company as an employee.
Yes, my last dinner 🍽️. I went to work the next day feeling very happy , enthusiasted and energized. After all I brought victory to the company. Everywhere I passed in the company I received a congratulations and compliment from an employee. I walked to my desk and found my intercom buzzing. I went to my boss' office as he ordered me to. "You are fired"he said. "What did you say sir" I asked. " Do you need an ear clean up? How many times do you expect me to say one thing" he asked. " Pack your things and leave my company" he spat angrily. " But sir I haven't done anything wrong so why are you firing me" I asked boldly. Yes I know my rights. Who does this man think he is? " You haven't done anything wrong? Go before I ask the guards to help you" he shouted at me. I gave him one hard stare and left. My father has gotten me. Gosh !all the sleepless nights, restlessness and anxiety was nothing. This is how they all come to -me losing my job. In the first place I wasn't given the position I applied for, I was scolded for doing a good job, I brought victory for the company and this is how he repays me? Fine this is what he wants, to see me frustrated am not going to give him that pleasure. Am a strong girl. Gosh I hate this man. I hate him with every fiber of my being. Can a human hate someone this much? He would regret this! And I'll make sure of it. It's a promise.
