For the next few minutes, the conversation shifted to lighter topics. They told me funny stories about things that had happened around the house, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I actually laughed.

Their lively chatter made me forget, even if just for a little while, about all the chaos happening around me. It was like a brief escape, a reminder that life could still have moments of joy, even in the middle of a storm.

The men burst into bouts of laughter, hitting each other in the shoulder. " Prison?" They asked I stared at them, wondering what was so funny about what I'd just said. "Yes you are. You're merchandise and my boss paid good money for you little things so you better not give any attitude." "We don't want to work here anymore." Another woman said. "Please let us go." Another laughter erupted amongst them and it made my blood boil. "It's funny until it's your mothers and your sisters in this position." I yelled.

But I couldn’t afford to lose focus now. I let out a soft, controlled laugh, shaking my head as if amused rather than enraged. “That’s interesting,” I said, my voice smooth. “Zane’s always had a flair for storytelling. But let’s talk about facts. My company already has its workers on standby and also the building is almost done. Why would people agree to work there if I appeared to be a failure, Mr. Grayson?”

Once I was suspended, my situation in the office only got worse. Workplace culture had always been about sucking up to the powerful and trampling on the weak. Those male colleagues who had laughed along with Vanessa became even more brazen, piling on relentlessly. "Hey, Macy, take this report and shred it." "Macy, go downstairs and pick up my package for me. Oh, and bring me back a coffee too—one sugar, no ice." I used to be the department's top sales performer. Now, I'd been reduced to everyone's errand runner.

I told him and left my cabin. Max also started following me. I was going towards the lift when my eyes fell on a group of people. They were talking to each other instead of working. Anger rose in me. I walked towards them and heard them creating some useless jokes and laughing their ass off. "I didn't know my employees can create these useless jokes in work time. Do I give you payment for creating fucking jokes?" I shouted at them. "We are very sorry Mr. Knight. We will not do this again" One of them told me.

The night rolled on in a blur of laughing, teasing and ridiculous stories. They roasted Samira for the time she tripped during a big corporate event. Tasha told a story about accidentally emailing a love confession to the whole company. Devin swore up and down he saw a ghost in the break room once. Then Theo talked about the time Samira accidentally sent a draft ad with a massive typo to the entire executive board ("Best Crapper Rates!" instead of "Best Career Rates!"). Samira turned beet red, and she covered her face with her hands while everyone howled with laughter.

But every job comes with every problem. I never told Ginny and Hannah, but I quit my first because I got sexually harassed by my boss, it almost got to me but I got over it in a week after quitting. The second job was because I accidently or maybe intentionally spilled my hot coffee on our boss' mistress or wife or whatever she was because she called me a whore, clearly because everyone at work like me. It was my fault there. And the last job, I don't know why I quit. But I know at that point I was tired of everything.

I came home in the evening and Muna was talking with my aunt, I couldn't hear a word they were talking about but it was definitely going to be a topic for ladies..

"And I prefer to talk about anything except work, honestly. What are your holiday plans?"

People laughed genuinely instead of out of obligation. Rachel shared her own early career disaster involving a presentation with all the wrong data.
