Chapter 22

🦋You are not a lost cause. Know that deep inside, you are resilient, brave and so much stronger and more powerful than your fears.🦋

Ray look from Emma than to you and spoke. "What are you getting out of this for taking up for L/n?" He looked away from you and then back to Emma. "Would you risk a chance, something so small that can get you fired?"

"Or should I fire you instead, L/n?"

"Who's gonna take the responsibility? If one of you don't choose... I'll make the call myself."

"Umm.." Emma mumbled while looking down with furrowed eyebrows.

"I don't have all day-"

"I'll do it."

His eyes darted towards you with a stern look. "Oh yeah?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms over his chest. "Well, I guess it's time for you to leave your area and get ready to move somewhere else."

"Wait. No!" Emma said looking at you with concerned eyes then back to Ray. "She was just-"

"About to leave? Yes," Ray confirmed with a nod.

Honestly, you felt sick. You didn't want to leave. This job, you've grown to like it and made a couple of friends here and you made a routine to come here on your schedule. Also, they gave good pay and you were working on finding a home for yourself but it looks like that was out the window.

Well, maybe not but it would be a hustle because you will have to find a new job that pays well.

But what felt even worse was that the man that you grew feelings for was literally during you for a small mistake. You felt humiliated and embarrassed. But it wasn't as if it wasn't your fault in the first place. And it was all because you wanted to stick your nose into someone else business except minding your own.

You would mint be in this situation if you just kept yourself in your chair typing away at the computer desk, which was no longer yours.

"Norman!" You heard Emma said grabbing the white-haired male's attention.

You turned around and look at him to see he was walking out of Krone's office with her by his side. His calm expression looked towards the both of you with raised eyebrows and parted lips and looked up at his best friend who was standing in front of you.

"Hmm? What's going on here, Emma?" The tall blue-crystal-eyed male make asked while walking overlooking at you then to Ray.

"Ray?"

"She's fired," he said bluntly.

Norman's eyes widened slightly and looked back towards you then back to him. "And why's that? Did something happen or something?"

"She's the one who volunteered. How about you ask her why she's being fired?" Ray scoffed and leaned against the wall while staring at you.

You felt your face getting warm at the attention you were getting.

Was this how Conny felt?

You felt so embarrassed and humiliated. You never would've thought you would've had to go through this and you felt like your emotions were going to get the best of you. You felt like crying right then and there because you're missing out on such a big opportunity on your small mistake.
