Tina watched as I turned my gaze away from her to continue chatting happily with Kent. The ease and confidence I showed was a side that Tina had never once seen before. That was when she realized that she had never once gotten to know me properly, nor did she understand what she had lost.A year later, Tina finally called me. When I took her call, I was seated behind the table that belonged to the CEO of Sanders Corporation. My fingers brushed against documents that waited for me to approve. I was not surprised to see her name on the phone's screen. Less than half a year after I left, I received news that her company had gone bankrupt. It was just a matter of time before that happened.The voice on the other end of the call sounded tired, as if every ounce of strength had been pulled out of her. "I lost my company, Andrew."My fingers paused in the middle of flipping through the papers. There was no emotion in my voice, "Okay. So, what about it?"There was silence on the other en
Tina was in a panic during the board meeting at the end of the month. Several early investors slammed the table when they saw that the sales data was in sharp decline. They threatened to pull out their investment if she did not salvage the situation. Tina was forced to let go of her ego and personally reach out to clients that she had ignored previously.Her first target was Jonathan Colt, who had worked with the company for three years. Jonathan was in the construction material business. He had several supplier contracts for a few buildings. Eugene had found Jonathan's samples to be old-fashioned, and he purposely knocked over the drinking glasses, which disrupted the contract renewal. Jonathan was so mad that he never contacted her again.Tina waited at the cafe downstairs from Jonathan's office about 30 minutes earlier than the designated time. She specifically wore the suit from three years ago when she first started the company to create the impression that she had not forgotten
When news of this spread, everyone was stunned. Some were not happy with the decision but were not brave enough to voice their thoughts. Others just lost hope in the company and started updating their resumes.However, Tina did not care about any of these. All she did was focus on pampering Eugene. He contributed nothing while taking the office of general manager. He would sit limply in his leather chair every day at work to either play mobile games on his phone or watch videos on the computer. He would tend to turn up the volume without caring that his colleagues were still at work.When he was bored out of his mind, he would loiter around the office area to pick on small issues. He would find the intern's computer wallpaper too childish and forced the intern to change it to a wallpaper of pure color by claiming that it affected office morale. The next day, he would complain that the fern on the administrative personnel's table looked like it was dying, and he forced her to throw it
I smiled as I consoled him. "It's not the right time. Don't worry. Tina will soon regret the choice she made today."After talking to Walter, I hung up. I felt so much better after talking to him.I got up to prepare to wash up and go to bed. I had just turned on the tap when my phone rang again. This time, the call was from Tina. It was not hard to figure out that Tina had just cajoled Eugene and finally remembered that she had 'business' to attend to now that she had free time. I wiped my hands and picked up the call. Before I could say anything, Tina's impatient voice blared into my ears. "Is the contract signed?"Her words made me laugh in anger. How dare she ask about the contract? She was the one who had caused the problem earlier that afternoon in Kent's company. I tried to suppress my laughter as I replied, "The contract wasn't signed. Mr. Charleston said he had to reconsider it.""What?!" Tina's voice became shrill. It hurt my eardrums so much. "Wasn't he about to sign i
The afternoon sun was drooping toward the East when I exited Kent's company. I did not return to the office but headed home instead. It was time to prepare for my resignation. It was only when I entered my house that my tense body started to relax. I sat limply on the sofa and took out my phone to take care of any unread messages regarding work. The first few messages that popped up on my phone screen were from my buddy and colleague, Walter Shore.Walter: [Damn, are you the one that cuckoo boyfriend is talking about in his social media posts?]Walter: [Screenshot]Walter: [Oh my gosh, I have no idea what to say about that cuckoo couple. They keep creating drama. I have a bad feeling that the company will be over without you.]I clicked on the screenshot. It was a photo Eugene had posted on his social media. There were nine pictures in it that consisted of selfies of him and Tina. They were either holding hands or gesturing a heart sign with their hands. The middle picture was a
I was stunned. I could not believe my ears. "Miss Kayden, I was the one who was slapped for no good reason!""So what?" Tina frowned. It was ridiculous how indignant she was acting. "You knew how sensitive and insecure Eugene can be. Why didn't you reply him in time? This is a reflection of your failure to do your job! I didn't instruct you to delete him from your contacts. Why would you delete him?"If Kent was not present, I would have flung the documents in my hand onto both their faces.I tried my best to suppress my anger and immediately displayed my phone's screen on the big screen. The screen was filled with hundreds of messages from Eugene with ridiculous orders. From checking my location to instructing how I should dress. They also contained requests from him for me to remind Tina to say loving words to him.Eugene turned silent, and he tried to look away. Tina was also stunned by the screen filled with messages."Tell me, Miss Kayden." My voice was cold, but it filled th
