“I say you will be gone before me.”

The smile on Sam’s lip freeze as he stepped back a bit. He tilted his head back a bit. This wasn’t the response he was expecting from her; he probably expected that she was going to apologize and asked him to help her.

But the confidence on her face meant something. He couldn’t help but wonder if there was truly anything between her and the boss. When he asked Carlos, the HR Manager, about her recruitment, he had mentioned that it was directly from the boss and that gave him the idea to start the rumour.

Thankfully, the boss wasn’t at work. He was on some urgent business trip.

“What do you mean by that?”

No response from her.

Sam gaze moved all over her, making Nita cringed and wanting to slap him. She could see the open lust in his eyes, and she had a feeling that he had already rendered her naked in his mind. Not that it was ever going to happen.

“I can see you’re just bluffing. And it seemed this job isn’t that important to you. You can start packing your things and get ready to leave.”

Nita raised a perfectly arched brow, “Are you sure? You want to fire me when you aren’t the one who employed me.”

Sam pinched his nose, “You can come to HR to receive your letter.” He stepped forward boldly, again. “Or you know what to do to change this fate.” He turned towards the door. “Adios, Nita”

Suddenly, the door opened, making Sam freeze on his step. His gaze moved to the C.E.O, and he cursed lowly.

How did the C.E.O. come back so soon?

Was he the reason she was so confident?

If he knew the C.E.O would be back soon, he wouldn’t have played this sort of game?

He forced himself out of his daze and moved towards him. “Welcome, Sir.”

But he ignored him; his focus on the woman before them. When he got in front of Nita, he wore a wide smile: something that had never happened before. He had always worn a frown to greet his employee, or rather, he never initiated a greeting first.

“It’s a pleasure meeting you, Cy…” When he saw the look on her face, he stopped and rephrased his words, “It’s a pleasure meeting you, Miss Green. I must say you’re very beautiful”

But Nita didn’t shake his hand, “Thank you. But I won’t say it’s a pleasure, Mr. Carl King, given that the hospitality in your company is so poor.”

Finally, the man gaze moved away from her, towards the interior of the office. He frowned when he saw there wasn’t a seat. He turned to Sa., who was still watching the exchange with interest in his eyes. “Where’s Miss Green’s seat? Don’t tell me this is how you’ve been treating her.”

Sam’s eyes darted towards the door. Is there any way to escape, or can the ground just open up and swallow him?

“Sir…”

Carl moved forward and saw the words on her table. His nose flared in anger. He turned to Sam with bright red eyes. Forget the fact that she was Cyborg, a renowned programmer who was their only messiah to save the company. She was also Nick Grimms wife. If Nick heard of this, his company was surely going under in a matter of days.

“Who wrote this?” His voice was so loud that it got the attention of other staffs.

Sam shrinks back.

This was bad. His boss had never been this angry before.

Soon, Carl brought out this phone and made a call. “I want you here right now. And arrange for a new chair and desk, the best you can see. I want it delivered in the next five minutes.”

After that, he moved towards Nita. “I’m very sorry, Ms. Green, but I will see to the fact that anyone involved in this is fired from this company.”

The door opened, and the fat HR ran inside. Nita eyes widened in surprised at the way he had carried himself. She had thought he was too big to carry himself from the way he spoke to her yesterday.

“Sir…”

Carl turned to him, “I want you to find out who wrote this on Ms. Green’s table and fire the person with immediate effect.”

Sam was pale all over.

Was she truly dating his boss, or why was he getting angry over this issue? He had to calm himself down, that there was no evidence he did it. It was going to be fine. He was certain that no one would be bold enough to testify against him.

“Yes, sir.”

As the HR turned to start investigating, a voice filled the silent room, and they all turned to see Nita raised up her phone as she played a recording on it.

Unknown to Sam, she had already started recording him when he claimed he was responsible for this action.

As soon as the recording stopped playing, Carl Kings turned to Sam, “Mr. Moore you’ve been fired from this company. Pack all your belongings, and submit every company document that’s in your hand.”

Sam stared at Nita in disbelief. When had she started recording that, without him knowing? A strange feeling filled his heart, and he burned for hatred towards Nita.

He hated her.

She had teased him with her beauty and ruined his life. He was going to ruin hers, too.

When he made no effort to move. The company called the security to throw him out.

Carl dismissed the HR and everyone who had come to witness the unfortunate incident.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Green. Let me make it up to you.”

Nita shook her head, “It’s fine, as long as justice already prevails. I’m okay.”

But Carl King wouldn’t have that, “There is a socialite ball coming up this evening. Please honour me with your presence, Cyborg.” His voice was low as he said that part.

Nita rolled her eyes. She hated party; it was just another thing that would make her miss her son. But looking at Carl King, she nodded. “Fine. I’ll be there.”
