Chapter 8 - {what the letter holds}

With heads raised up high, she cat-walked into the company. Rather than in a professional meekly cloth a normal worker who knew she would be fired would wear, she was clad in a white crop top, blue long trousers and short blue matching jacket. Her hair was neatly combed and let to fall down her back, black and glimmering wavy, cascading down her back like a waterfall of silk. Her black kitten heels were extremely high, making tickling sound as she walks. The color of the heels match the fashion handbag she is carrying perfectly, and the overly dark sun shades that is now hung calmly…. No, it can't be calm… arrogantly on her hair. Her appearance made head turns and her long heels make clicking sound, escorting her everywhere.

*CEO's Office*

'Bang Bang Bang' there came three ruthless loud knock that force Neptune to raise his head to look at the door. The knock came again and then, the door flung open, revealing that maniac who walked in with clicking sounds.

Stunned for a while, he glared at her again. Dressing like this when receiving a sack letter. REALLY?! Weird! Psycho! Maniac!

But… just a bit pretty… a bit. Her arrogance and rudeness, oh plus temper ruined all those beauty. Recalling how long he stayed in the shower before he was able to wash the cow dung away and amount of body spay that he exhaust at spot, the shock on his face disappeared, replaced with a smug.

'Good day Mr. CEO.' She greeted with a sweet smile, bowing her head.

'Guess you're finally prepared for your letter/' he said, searching through his desk.

'yes sir, as you can see.' She replied boldly, a smile still on her face.

'then I congratulate you on receiving your letter.' He said and smiled back, pointing the letter at her. Clearly under his smile was venom, the duo passing difficult glances to each other.

'I'm so glad to receive this letter from you Mr. Neptune, I really appreciate.' She said, taking the letter from him. Deep inside her eyes, she shoot him an arrow. All thanks to him, she loose a job that could earn her thousands of dollars but…

'Damn, if I catch you on the street, you will regret knowing me.' She was cursing inside.

'if so, then you can take your leave.' He concluded while she bowed and smiled falsely.

'Goodbye Mr. Blues… well for today.' She smiled, bowed once more and then turn back to leave.

'You better start praying to your ancestors to not let us meet somewhere else. If we do, you would surely get to the hospital.' Her fake smile warned as she exit, intentionally stomping her feet on the floor to distract him.

Immediately she close the door behind her, she sighed and proceed calmly but paused abruptly when she saw the killing glare secretary Thomas was shutting her. Did… did she do something bad?

That man is accommodating and friendly, always in smiles, so…. Why is he looking at her like that?

Did she perhaps do something that offended him?

With mind full of thoughts, she walked away, her gaze still fixed on him while he did the same, glaring at her till she was out of his sight.

He sneered. 'Is the boss following looks now? Did he perhaps fall for her looks?'

What more could best explain this. She is just an intern and even poured hot coffee on him, she ought to be fired instantly, but instead, she was given a chance to wear a killer dress, cat walking within the company walls.

Plain Balderdash!!!! 

'Ms. Aiva.' Everybody chorused as soon as Aiva stepped into the HR office. She had come to say a final goodbye to them because she was certain that it was a sack letter without even checking it but the kind of respect that come with her name make her pause.

'You are so fortunate Ms. Aiva, is there any secret ritual you are doing? please invite me and I would gladly honor your invitation by showing up.' Ms. Madison said, her face painted with smiles.

'How did you do it? Is it by pouring coffee on him, if so I would head to his office to pour mine too.'

'I treated you well in the past, now that you are going to the higher ups, don't forget me, you must look out for me too.' Another person commented while Aiva glared at them like a dumb person.

What are they talking about?

'Ms. Aiva, I am so happy for you. Your charm is for sure irresistible. Imagine being an intern for just 2 days and you got promoted to the secretary, I'm jealous of your luck.'

Aiva stared at them all as they talked and talked, commenting positively and negatively.

'who knows if she makes it just by being on his bed?'

'she is too poor to bribe the CEO, the truth here is that she seduced the CEO

~That crazy witch

~Stupid wench!

Girls around her age which were jealous couldn't help but curse, rolling their eyes and their brain in disgust.

Ugh! Just murmuring! If only you knew how they both hate each other!

'You made it Aiva, I'm happy for you.' Dorie said and smiled politely which got Aiva more puzzled.

Are they mocking her?

She just got sacked and they were taking about getting promoted to a secretary. Is that a way to hurt her feelings? Or did they misunderstand because of her luxurious mode of dressings?

She quickly unfold the letter and spread it out. She is going to read out loud to them, What the letter holds.
