Secrets and Things (MxM)

Chapter 49 - What did I do to lady luck?

POV: Aiden

This was an outrage! A major sigh moment. A major fuck-you moment. An unnecessary but necessary... bad emotion. Look, I just couldn't find the right words at that point in time because of the utter DISRESPECT I had to face about thirty minutes before. To fill you readers in (A/N look, I just wanted to break the fourth wall because I'm lazy to go around it the smart way. I'm a terrible liar but have mercy on me. I'll do better... on my next story... if I ever right another), thirty minutes ago... I got kicked out of my job. Well, no I didn't get kicked out as in fired but I'm temporarily told to stop coming to work anymore. To satisfy some other bullshit company.

Basically, a little background story, I entered my tech company quite recently. Like I think it's been a year or something and you'd think I'd be starting from the bottom and working my way up and you're exactly right. That's what happened. Except, I'm a tech god so I essentially sped run the entire process of getting promoted and after a year, I'm the head of my department (and I'd honestly be head of any department except for advertising because I'm that great). The entire process should've taken at least five years. Initially, the people didn't like me because they didn't want to work under someone younger than them but I shut them up with my skills and my outgoing personality and they all grovel at my feet. I also want to brag that I don't even have to wear a suit to work because my big brain is too much of a loss to the company. I straight up told them I'd quit if they didn't let me come in my hoodie one day and they immediately surrendered. (A/N ok Aiden was never meant to be this arrogant but it happened)

Anyway, the CEO got a call the other day from some company and apparently, they're in a tight patch. They're not understaffed by any means but apparently, they don't have people who are big brain enough to deal with the issues they're having and it's causing them major stress. My stupid boss was good friends with their stupid boss and told him that he could borrow some of his employees for a short period of time like we're some sort of TOY. The DISRESPECT. Like I understand their problem but it's not our problem so like... stop?

But nooo, the stupid, loyal boss came out of fucking nowhere and told my department that the best of the best was needed and funnily enough, that happened to be me. Obviously, I was against it because what the fuck, I don't want to work in an unknown environment with no benefits, like I even have to wear my suit again. I tried every excuse to get out of it. I managed the entire department ("former manager can take over temporarily"). I'm an important asset to the company, I fix everything ("you'll only be gone for a couple of months. You're still our employee so we'll call you if anything major comes up"). I'm inexperienced and I'll give the company a bad name from all my screw-ups ("your first point was literally you being the manager and that's because of the lack of mistakes you make in the first place). I can't wear my hoodie anymore ("good"). I'm queer ("how is that relevant?"). I'll be a bad employee ("you're not usually a bad employee, minus your arrogance sometimes, so if I hear complaints, it means you're intentionally rebelling and I'll tell Nero as well as take you away from casual clothes privileges.")

Yeah, it was a complete and utter defeat on my part and which brought us to where I was walking in the middle of two extras (apparently, the dumb company needed help in multiple departments so my dumbass boss went to the required departments of his own to get two more excellent employees. They're all stuck up, goody-two-shoes) towards our new home for the next couple of months. I probably should've asked for the company name and where we're heading to (I followed these two losers there) but for my exit to be dramatic and over the top, I needed to throw tantrum and leave without saying a single word of farewell. I also decided to go wearing my Arctic Monkeys hoodie, in hopes of the boss turning me away on the spot. It's because of this that extra #1 and extra #2 were giving me a lecture about my work ethics, the company image and some other shit along the same line. I zoned them out after I realised they're not going to listen to me.
