"I know you've been working with this company for two years now. Don't you also want a higher position? I mean, I can give you the post of manager." The man said this, smiling at her across the table.
"Yes, sir. Thank you so much, sir. I will appreciate that a lot, sir." Ellie, who was sitting opposite the man, replied and bowed her head in excitement.
"Yeah. This life is about give and take. Isn't it?" The man said it again, smiling at her.
"Give and take? I don't really understand what you're saying, sir." she said, pretending not to understand what he was saying.
This is her stupid old boss, and she knows the man so well; he is a womanizer and a despicable person. He had sexually harassed a lot of his female workers, lying to them about giving them a higher position. He even has a wife and small kids.
"I see. Let me come down to your level. I want us to, you know, start having sexual intercourse." The man stood up from his seat to whisper into her ear, but she didn't let him finish when she also stood up and slapped him hard across the face.
"ow! You! How dare you raise your hand at your boss?"The man said in anger; he never thought she could slap him, because the ladies he has been with in the past never dared to do that to him.
"Oh no. Does it hurt?" she asked sarcastically. "That's what you get for trying that rubbish with me; I should have gouged out your eyes instead," she said, poking his nose.
"Ellie Loren! You are fired! I don't want to ever see your face in this company." Mr. Parker said, rubbing his red cheek.
"No. I resigned even before you fired me. Don't have a nice day, Mr. Parker," she said, walking out of his office.
She walked out of his office and went back to her cubicle to pack her belongings. She could feel other staff members looking at her. "I'm finally free," she said, taking a deep breath and exhaling it out.
She could still feel their eyes on her, so she turned to a girl sitting opposite her. "The best thing is to resign before he fires you; do have a nice life." She said, smiling at the girl before leaving the company.
She looked at the building one last time before taking a cab home. On getting home, she saw that her door was opened, and she knew that it was definitely her bestie.
"Hey? Why are you back so early?" Jasmine asked; she was not expecting to see her come home so early. She thought of waiting for her until she went to work the night shift.
"Crazy story: I got fired; no, I resigned from work." She said, smiling at her friend.
What?! why?! Jasmine asked, looking at her, to say something.
"Well. My crazy boss told me he wanted to have sex with me, so I slapped his face and also resigned right in his face." She said she was smiling at her friend in a weird way.
"What? I can't believe that shameless man. I really wonder how his wife is coping with that kind of person." she said, shaking her head in pity for the woman. "Did you really resign, or did he fire you?" she asked, staring deep into her eyes. She knew that her friend was so pained about losing her job, and she was just trying to cover it up with her smile.
"Both," Ellie replied, looking at the floor.
You know what? Let's just get all the sadness out this night at the club. So this night is going to be a girl's night; call in other girls, get drunk, and hook up with guys.
"No. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm definitely not hooking up with any guy; I'll just stay at home and enjoy my sleep." she said, putting a pillow on her folded laps.
"I wasn't asking; we're going, and that's final, girl; you need to get the sadness out." She said it with a smile. And because of that, I'll beg someone to take my shift tonight.
