Rust For Rustaceans

Warning!!! Adult Romance, sesuaikan usia kalian! Sorot mata Sunshine sinis membalas tatapan mata Lexy. "Seharusnya kau bisa mengerti keputusanku, aku terlanjur muak dengan semua permainanmu." "Aku akan memperbaiki semua kesalahanku, sejak awal, aku telah mengatakannya, aku akan memperbaiki kesalahanku," ucap Lexy dengan nada lembut. Sunshine tertawa pelan. "Kau memperbaiki kesalahan dengan menciptakan kebohongan." "Aku sedang berusaha memperbaiki hubungan kita, aku jatuh cinta padamu, dan aku menginginkanmu sebagai pendamping hidupku." Ucapan Lexy memang terdengar indah hingga melambungkan perasaan Sunshine, juga melambungkan harapannya. Tetapi, kebohongan dan pengkhianatan Lexy terlalu menyakitkan untuk diingat. Sunshine melepaskan cincin dari jari manisnya. "Yang Mulia, jika kau menginginkan aku, seharusnya kau berusaha untuk mendapatkan aku, memenangkan aku. Bukan mempermainkanku," ucapnya dengan nada sedikit meninggi dan emosional seraya meraih telapak tangan Lexy dan meletakkan cincinnya. "Keputusanku telah final." *Jika ada kesamaan dalam nama tokoh, kejadian, dan tempat, itu bukan kesengajaan. Cerita ini fiksi dari pemikiran Author setelah bersemedi di rawa-rawa selama beberapa-abad. *Mohon dimaklumi karena tidak ada yang baru di bawah sinar matahari.

I just closed a deal worth 50 million. The room did its job, so I went to the reception to check out, and I got myself a bottle of water worth 2 dollars. That very same day, I got an email from the company accusing me of misusing company funds. They canceled three months' worth of KPI from my records and fined me 5,000 dollars. I ignored that, thinking that it was a mistake some new guy in finance made. When I went to work the next day, my access card was denied. It was canceled. I couldn't even get into the building. Furious, I called my CEO fiance, but his secretary took the call instead. "How many times do I have to tell you to follow the rules when it comes to money? Did you tell finance about that bottle of water? No? Then that's against the rules! Everyone else follows the rules, so why can't you? You're a veteran!" The CEO chimed in, "Christina, you're a veteran of the company. You must be an example. You're not allowed back to work until you finish your 8000-word reflection and read it out loud at the all-employee meeting!" They tossed the phone aside, and a moment later, moans of delight and passion traveled through the air. Stone-faced, I hung up and called our competitor's CEO. "I've got a 50-million-dollar deal and a sales manager who just got fired for you. Are you taking that deal?"
