Hi! How're you guys doing. My name is Zohaib. I work at a company that acts as a middle man between the students that have recently finished their university and are immediately looking for a job, and the companies and government institutions that require such young talent so that they can recruit them. I work at the security sector, where I specifically look after the backup that is made of the data of the students and companies that have recruited them. My boss hates my guts for some reasons that I do not know of.

Zohaib thinking to himself as he's approaching to the boss's office to put up a request for more storage, since they were running low.

"Do... I have the permission to enter?", he asked in a respectful manner. His boss was reading a piece of paper, "What a load of shit!", he said while putting the paper on his desk, "Yes, come in.", he replied. "What is it that you want?", his boss said disgustingly, " I need to be somewhere so make it quick."

Zohaib not being fazed by any of it said, "As you are aware the data that we store has exceeded its limits that we had set, so I request for more storage for...", as he was about to continue the boss cut him off, by saying, "Just send an email to Amila, and she'll look into it or inform me if there is something significant. Don't bother and leave at once."

Zohaib, as leaving the office, thought to himself, What the heck is this? Keep doing over time, and keep on wasting my skill for a piece of shit that don't even acknowledge my hard work., he got out of the office and walked to his desk, I've been working here for two years on the same position. I've requested for promotion for more than three times now, and the bastard doesn't even have the decency to at least reply to those request.

Well there was a reason behind the boss being in such a hurry today. He is secretly in a relationship with his assistant Amila, and she's the only person that is happy with her boss. She often influences the most important decisions that are made in this company.

Why wouldn't the boss be dancing on her palm like a puppet. She was the most attractive woman at the company. She really looked as if she were embodiment to the idea of lust itself. With short blonde hair. Her huge blue eyes, with which she look at you in a warm and flirty manner. Her words, as if she were casting a spell making you do what she wanted, even though you don’t intend to. Her walk, as if she were forcing you to take a glance at her from behind and stare at her back. Her chest, intentionally wearing clothes that would reveal her cleavage, making you stare at her huge bosoms.

Everyone in the company knows about it and try their best to keep her happy and be on her good side. Many of the employees have been promoted or de-promoted due to her influence, and that's why she's respected and hated equally by the employees.

However, Zohaib is the only one who has chosen to remain neutral in all of this drama, and has chosen to mind his own business. But that is what is of the most annoyance to the people that are as narcissist as her. It doesn't matter if her affect on the people around her is good or bad, she just need to have an effect. But Zohaib, well, he hardly gives an intent or feeling of being affected by her.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Amila Hates that.

"Where were you?", Sherry said to Zohaib, "I was looking for you.", "Well, I went to the boss's office to put in the request for extra storage.", Zohaib replied to Sherry.

"It's almost break time, so let's go and get something to eat, I didn't even had breakfast, cause I was late.", Sherry said, "Alright.", Zohaib replied in a fatigued voice.

Sherry was the only close friend that Zohaib has. His extroverted nature and well put together appearance complemented with Zohaib's depressed look and introverted nature like yin and yang, hence becoming friends.

"Did you hear the news? They say that the mayor of the south city was brutally murdered.", Sherry said, "Yeah, I did. Well what do you expect. When you leave a population to rot like that, and not only that, you also assign corrupt people to rule over them. The locals will respond in violence.", Zohaib replied in his exhausted and tired voice.

"Yeah, can't argue with you on that one", Sherry approving of what Zohaib said while opening a can of soda.

"Well, are you interested in placing a bet?", asked Sherry.

"What kind?", Zohaib questioned.

"WELL IT'S A BET ON WHETHER THE BOSS WILL BE BUSTED DOING IT WITH HIS ASSISTANT OR NOT!", Sherry saying in a loud voice while making a goofy pose.

"SSSHHHHHHHHHHhhhh, you idiot. I don't know about the boss being busted, but the way that you act is gonna get us busted and in advance lose our f*ing job", Zohaib said in a low voice.

"What are you guys talking about", said a woman standing behind them.

"ahhhhhhhhhh", both of them screamed internally.

"Oh, its Talia, we were just talking about theee... political state of the country.", Sherry said while avoiding eye contact with her.

"Well aren't you guys boring.", said the woman.

Her name is Talia, she's tall, with good figure, brown eyes, long black hair, and a good and proportionate figure. She is often compared with Amila in beauty, but what makes her not the pick for being the most beautiful woman in the company is because of her cold attitude. Zohaib had actually proposed to her but she simply rejected him, by saying, "Do you really believe that a guy that is more than two inches shorter than me with such an ugly looking face has a chance with someone like me?"

Of course it wasn't Zohaib's idea to propose to her, it was Sherry who made him do it, by placing a bet of-course.

"Man she scares me.", said Sherry.

"I'm gonna leave early today.", said Zohaib, "would that be alright?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything here. You just go home and take some rest. You haven't slept for even an hour after the all-nighter." said Sherry.

"Ok then I'll be leaving.", said Zohaib, "Ok bye", Sherry replied.

The moment he reached his apartment, he went straight to his bedroom, and fell asleep.

It is now morning. Birds are chirping. Sun has cast its light on the building. It's about 9 o'clock. "OH, CRAP! I'M LATE.", Zohaib screaming as he got out of his bed. He went to work without brushing his teeth or combing his hair.

When he reached the company. He walked in. And as he was about to go to his desk. "Zohaib! Boss wants to see you", said Amila, the assistant.

"Ok, I'll be right there", said Zohaib, "It's urgent, so be quick.", she said with a light smile on her face.

"Do I have the permission?", Zohaib asked the boss, "Yes come in." the boss granting him the permission to enter.

The boss remained silent for a moment. And then he said,

"You're fired."
