Beth felt herself stupid, and useless. Why she agreed with Logan about the impromptu marriage. She can still work...though the salary is small, if she collected it... it can be quite a lot of money. Agh... why is she so tempted by a lot of money? Today Beth went to work as usual, she had a shift with a new area manager, her name was Shania.
"Are you Beth?" asked a woman who looks elegant and trendy, she wears a mini dress from a well-known boutique and can be immediately recognized by anyone who sees it, plus a black blazer and extraordinarily high heels. Beth felt that she was a dwarf when she stood parallel to Shania. The new manager.
"Yes, Ma'am. Nice to meet you, I hope we can work well together." The answer is polite and simple.
"Hmm... I have something to talk to you about." Shania said wearing her glasses
"Yes ma'am." Beth obeyed and followed Shania who was sitting in the waiting chair at their outlet.
"I have a recommendation for you, actua
Beth walked back to her house in a frenzy, lucky that all the private students in her course were currently on semester break, and that meant studying with her is also off. At least Beth could clear her frantic mind. Along the way, she blamed herself for being too rash in making decisions, why did she have to agree to a request from that annoying Burger! Tomorrow she has to go to the head office to meet the man… 'Ouch.. what should I talk to him then? Do I have to be stubborn and ask Logan to call off the goddamn marriage? Or… aghh…' Beth's daydream was suddenly interrupted by a ringing tone on her cell phone.Beth walked towards the housing where her parents' house was, she had just gotten off the public bus when the call came in."Hello?" She said, looked at the screen on her cellphone, there is no contact name from the foreign number that called her, "Who is this?"“Hmmm, your future husband's number is not saved. Impolite! I'm your
Beth woke up at four in the morning muttering annoyed, she had really had to set her morning alarm this early. Normally she leaves at a convenient hour or half-past seven because usually, meetings at the head office are usually at nine or so, she has plenty of time for the trip there which takes more than two hours. She had to take several types of public transportation, ranging from regular bus and trans city bus. She could take the train line, but she was confused about the transit route…she had to get off at one of the stations and take a train in a different direction, which made her choose the regular bus route.Beth was ready to leave at half-past five in the morning, she left with a fresh face and a light coat of lipstick. She was forced to wear full make-up when she went to the head office because one of the rules for employees who went to the head office was full make-up, appearance was everything for head office employees and she did everything very forcefull
Beth was still sitting at the reception desk until someone picked her up. Based on information from Sherly, there will be a Personnel employee who will pick her up. Sherly told her that the higher-level employee was very busy preparing for a meeting with the General manager later, so it would be a miracle if Logan wanted to see Beth for any reason. Sherly even said... Maybe Beth would be sent home.Beth nodded weakly, she thought...'whatever!'Not long after, a man in a black shirt and pants arrived, he was wearing a navy blue tie with neatly combed hair. The tall and slightly bulky man looked scary because of the smile and look on his face when he saw Beth. Sherly immediately stood up and approached the object of her dream as a fan... She approached her idol, Logan Bruggman. Yup... The man himself came and approached Beth.Logan stood in front of Beth, he wanted to say something but lost quickly to Sherly who immediately greeted him from behind."What ti
"Let me tell you... What it means licking one's own tongue!" He said and walked over to Beth with eyes full of anger that made Beth tremble slightly."Loh. sir! That's a saying... I don't know... it means canceling... That... Licking That's sir... Licking your own spit.. that means... canceling what was promised previously." Beth stammered, she saw the figure of Logan who was already standing right in front of her chair. He turned Beth's chair until her knees touched Logan's standing leg.Logan lowered his face towards Beth. He whispered, or rather threatened. "You will marry me... So you won't renew the contract!"Beth was silent as if frozen. 'What is this man doing? If it wasn't the previous manager who recommended a contract extension... Yes, it means he himself. Why did he offer an extension if I ended up being blackmailed like this!' Beth thought. She stood up and quickly took a few steps back."But... sir. I already agreed to the contract, th
"Oi... the way out is over there!" Jody said as soon as Beth passed through the glass door that could only be opened with the name tag of the head office employee.He was humiliating her, because now in the lobby there are many employees from other divisions gathered. One of the things Beth saw was Rico, the warehouse driver who delivered inventory to her outlet. 'Oh, what a coincidence.'"Thanks," Beth whispered to Jody cynically. She walked quickly towards Rico. Feeling grateful."Oi... oi Rico..." Beth greeted, she purposely stood behind the warehouse driver.Rico turned his head and smiled broadly when what he saw and greeted him turned out to be Beth, one of the employees at the outlet where he was handling inventory."Loo... It's you, Beth. Doing any meeting, huh?" He said."No. Contract matters. You want to deliver the goods?" Beth asked and was answered with a nod by Rico."Can I come with you? Hehe...I wanna go to the outlet.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Beth suddenly had an unexpected guest of the devil, Beth was actually taking the shift with Ms. Shania and one of her friends who worked as cashiers, they had an uninvited guest but managed to make Shania and Sophia, her cashier excited. They suddenly hit each other and stifled a hysterical scream. While Beth looked lazily to the source of their excitement. None other than.. the human asshole Logan."Afternoon." He greeted Shania, smiled, and extended his hand towards the manager. Sophia reached out too... Hoping to be greeted too."Afternoon sir," Shania replied, covering her mouth to hold back a smile. Beth purposely, when the man came, she is walking into one of the large display cases displaying their goods to sell, she pretended to be busy cleaning the storefront which was not dirty at all. She was too lazy to deal with him."Duh... Mr. Logan. I used to call you by name... when you were a computer expert
Beth was lazing in her room. She enjoys her free time, today she works the afternoon shift, from three to ten at night. This morning she can laze around while watching her favorite Korean drama, a hobby that she has to put aside for some time, due to her busy schedule.She watched the drama and occasionally ate the snacks that she had prepared since last night. She had been waiting for today, after two full weeks she got the morning shift, this time and tomorrow she gets the afternoon shift, so last night she went to the mini market to buy ammunition for her 'me time.'‘Life is good, and I like it.’Drrt….drrt…Beth glanced at her phone. She saw that her phone screen was on. A bad sign.A life lesson that Beth learned while working at a service-oriented company, never turns on the internet connection while at home, because… an incident like this can be ascertained as a call from her outlet.She pretended not
The location of the fierce man named Roberts is at the end of the hall… he seemed isolated from the others. If this fierce man yells or does something bad at her there would be no eyewitnesses for Beth to prove that he does the kind of things, she wants to report. Isn't it forbidden for employees to bully each other? She tried to remember if there was a clause in her working contract."You're a new employee huh?" asked Roberts, his tone normal...not snapping. Beth breathed a sigh of relief."No, I've been here a few years," Beth replied politely, she was watching Roberts' hands which were still scanning the barcodes of items at the outlet. How it works…all items are scanned into the in-check team's portable computer…then later it will be processed and the in-check team leader will download data from the computer outlet to type the latest stock. If there is a discrepancy between the physical stock and the computer... that will be a big problem.
