EMILY'S POV

I went straight to my boss's office who is also my boyfriend. I waited for him to hang up on the call when I entered his office.

“Hey babe,” he said,moving close to me and about to kiss me on the lips when I avoided it.

“What's wrong?”He asked with furrowed brows.

“I am here to tender my resignation letter,”I said keeping a straight face, trying to suppress the emotions running through me .

“Why?” He asked ,his eyes bewildered at my outburst .

I shook off his hands from arms “I'm not only quitting this job , I'm quitting our relationship too”I said ignoring his question.

“You can't be serious, quitting our relationship? you must be kidding” he said, running his fingers through his thick platinum hair.

“I ain't kidding,you are nothing but a douchebag,you cheated on me with my sister, How could you?” I said with disdain raising my voice.

“Ha,is that why you are quitting your job and our relationship? don't tell me you were jealous?It was a mistake. You know you are the one I love you,” He said smirking

“A mistake?you are not even remorseful about what you did,you dickhead,”I said feeling my heart break the more

I couldn't believe that I fell in love with someone this selfish,I feel so stupid.

“You know you can't break up with me, right? I know you love me and l love you too, would you allow that trivial matter to come between us?” He said

“Trivial matter?” I was surprised at his words.

“I know that I am the one you love and I love you too,so get a grip and forget what you saw,” He said

“Forget what I saw? You are a big jerk,”I replied blowing hot.

“Yes, let it go, moreover she offered me what you couldn't. So let's put this behind us," He said, closing the remaining distance between us and was about to kiss me again when I landed a slap on his cheeks.

“You slapped me!” Ethan exclaimed with a bloodshot eye, his palm on the spot I slapped

I walked to the door and stopped on my track

“I won't accept this break up,I am sure you will come back to me and I will make sure you are unable to get a job anywhere until you come back to me,”he threatened with a smirk plastered on his face.

“You will regret ever betraying me,douche bag,”I said walking out of his office without looking back .

I sat in my favorite corner in the cafe shop down the street. I sipped my coffee and surfed the net for job vacancies but was unable to apply, a thought occurred to me. I put a call across to a friend of mine from another company.

“Hey girlfriend,” I cooed wearing a tiny smile

" What's up babe? it's been a while” my friend said

" I'm good, I need your help girl," I said

“You only call when you need help,uh? well I forgive you . What is it you need me for?” She said

" I'm sorry babe, I promise to make it up to you," I apologized

" I'm in dire need of a job. I have tried job hunting on the net but it hasn't been successful. Are there vacancies in the company you work for?” I asked

" Did you quit your job? Are you in any trouble?” She asked concern laced her voice

“It's a long story my friend, I will tell you about it when next we see," I replied with a deep sigh.

"Send me your credentials so that I can help you to apply directly in my company,” She said

“Thank you dear, I already sent it," I said with gratitude.

" You are welcome .What are friends for? I gat you.I will get back to you in an hour” she chuckled

" Okay I will wait for your feedback,”I replied feeling a hint of hope.

I ordered another cup of coffee waiting patiently for the feedback from my friend. I also tried applying in some other companies for the next one hour but it wasn't futile.

Exactly an hour later, her call came through, I adjusted on my seat well and I received the message.

“I applied for the job vacancy for you, your credentials were okay, you have good working experience and your portfolio was good but you were declined because a statement has been written about you being late to work,lazy towards work and having a nonchalant attitude towards work,”She stated with a surprised tone.

My jaw dropped on hearing all the accusations slammed against me .

“What is going on? Who is bent on destroying all you worked for?" She asked

“I will get back to you my friend, thanks alot" I said, hanging up the phone.

“Ethan is such a jerk,” I said to myself with gritty teeth.

I dropped the coffee bill on the table as I dashed out of the coffee shop angrily. Not knowing what else to do I walked down the street deep in thought “I can't afford to be jobless for a day talkless of a month, I need to act fast,”I said in my thought, biting my bottom lips.

My mind drifted to the conversation I had the previous day “This is the only option I have left and I am going to make good use of it," I mused with determination.

I took out my phone and card given to me the previous day from my bag and dialed the number on the card. The line rang twice before it was picked. “Hello," Ronald's deep voice sounded from the other side of the phone.

"Let's meet, we need to talk," I said, hanging up the phone .

I couldn't help it - I was still reeling from the pictures I had received the previous day. My mood was in a jumble of mess. "Alright, let's get started," I growled, slamming my fist on the table. My team jumped, taken aback by my outburst."Uh, yes, sir," one of them stammered. "We've got the quarterly reports ready for review."I snatched the report from the team member's hand, my eyes scanning the pages with a mixture of disdain and anger."This is unacceptable," I snapped, my voice rising. "You call this a report? It's a joke!"The team member who had presented the report looked taken aback. "I-I apologize, sir. I'll make sure to-"I cut him off, my face red with rage. "You'd better. I expect to see a revised report on my desk by the end of the day. And if it's not up to par, there will be consequences."The team nodded hastily, eager to escape my
