LOVE after HATE

Fired

Our instructor was distributing our test results, calling our last names and at the same time dismissing us.

"Kinsley." I stood up, grabbing my bag and walked to the front and received my test paper and glanced at it.

I gave myself a satisfied smile inside my mind for getting an A plus. Of course, I deserve it because I studied.

"Excellent, Mr. Kinsley." Mr. Love said and I smiled at him before I walked outside the classroom.

"As expected." Ron said and he threw his arm around my shoulders. I rolled my eyes and we started walking to the hallway.

"What did you got?" I asked and dumped the test paper inside my bag.

"B plus." He said and I could see his test paper inside the front pocket of his jeans. I snatched it. "Hey! Hey!" He exclaimed as he tried to grab the paper from me as I dodged and opened it.

I laughed and let him snatched it. "Dude, you're a liar!" I said and chuckled.

"What? B plus and B minus is still the same. The same B." He said and I shook my head.

"Good thinking, Ron." I said and he tapped his head like a genius gesture making me laugh.

"Are you still working?" He asked as we reached the locker hallway.

"Yeah." I said and opened my locker, placing my book and notes inside and closed it.

"Okay."

Some of Zeus' employees smiled at me in recognition as I walked towards his office and I also smiled back.

I pushed the glass door and the office was empty just when Karen went inside.

"Hi, Cam."

"Mac." I corrected and she smiled.

"Mr. Lebeau isn't around and he left you something to do." She said and I nodded.

"Thanks, I will work on it." I said. "Is there any other thing to do?" I asked because I was getting tired on just typing and typing.

"There's nothing much for you to do here which made me wonder why Mr. Lebeau hired an intern." She said and I sighed. "But I will call you if ever someone here needs an extra help." She said and I nodded.

I started in Zeus' table because he wasn't there anyway and my back hurts from bending every time I work at the couch. His swivel chair was more comfortable.

I was still typing some few lines when I suddenly felt the urge to sneak some snacks.

I glanced at the glass wall ensuring that no one could see me even though the wall was blurry and no one could see me

I chuckled as I walked to the fridge and stole some chocolate bars. I went back happily to the table and continued my work as I ate.

I finished my work and decided to stay for a while and checked my f*******:. All my friends tagged me in their photos where they went to a bar making me chuckle and I couldn't help but feel jealous.

I sighed and closed the tab and opened Google. I typed Zeus' name and clicked his bio. It just contained few of his information, not even his birthdate and age and I didn't even know why I was searching for his bio.

I closed it and shut the computer down and stood up. I went home after I told Karen that I was done with my work. I cooked for dinner and watched a movie as I wait for Steve to go home.

Mr. Garret was being an ass because I was just five minutes late and he was already sending me to detention. He gave us a surprise quiz because he was in a bad mood. It wasn't our fault!

I went to Zeus' an hour late and I was surprised to see a very familiar face came out from the elevator, crying and carry a box of stuffs.

She walk past me and I watched her went out of the building. I went to the elevator and pressed the floor number. I suddenly felt nervous with an unknown reason.

I walked out of the elevator and the atmosphere there was heavy. I saw Karen holding her phone in her ear and walking back and forth and all the staffs there were wearing a very nervous and scared faces. Everyone was so quiet.

Karen brought her phone down and walked towards me.

"Why are you late?" She asked.

"My instructor was having his monthly period and sent me to detention. What's going on?"

I jumped slightly when she held my arm. "Zeus came in fifteen minutes ago and he was in a bad mood, he fired one of us here because she used scented aerosol spay."

I frowned. "What the hell!?"

"Well, he have a thing about dusts and scented things." She said.

"Yeah, like he have a thing about being stingy and now an aerosol!?"

"Yeah and he was looking for you."

"He seriously has a problem." I walked towards his office and pushed the door.

Zeus was a mess himself. He looked like he didn't sleep for days and he discarded his coat on the couch and the first three buttons of his button down white long sleeve were opened and his tie was loosened and he looked like he was in a bad mood like Karen told me. Everyone's in a bad mood lately.

"I'm late because I was in an hour detention." I started when Zeus just stared at me like he was thinking. "Did you have to fire her?" I asked because I couldn't take it.

"I know you're stingy and a clean freak but because of a disinfectant?"

"None of your business, Kinsley." He said and he sounded different, like out of breathe and half furious. "I'm tired of this."

"Then you should rest." I said.

I jumped when he slammed his hand on his table before he sat down on the swivel chair.

Shit, that scared me.

"No. I mean this." He said and I frowned. "You don't have to come back here. I don't really need you."

I knew that those words were what I really wanted to hear. . . before. But hearing him saying he didn't need me made me feel insulted.

"You don't know how much I wanted to hear those words you. Thanks, douchebag." I said and walked out of the office.

Karen was outside her office and she approached me as I walked towards her direction.

"What happened?" She asked.

"I got fired too."
