1 Losing his job

"Good day, boss!", the sound makes as the workers greet their boss. "Morning to you all too," their boss replied as he saunter, looking at each worker that's greeting him.

He halts before a worker that was looking all shaken by just looking at him. "Mr. Blake!", the man that's dress in a full black suit with a tie shouts at the shaken worker before him.

"Yes, sir!", the worker shouts with his head raise high and not looking at his boss. "Haha! I like you!", the boss said, laughing hard and hitting the man before him on his shoulder.

"Someone is missing," the boss whisper to himself. "Where is Dr. Addison?", he said aloud as he scan around looking for the missing worker.

"He's around the poolside petting Chelsea!", the shaken worker spoke, but still avoiding to look face to face with his boss.

The man dress in full suit sigh before walking off and leaving his workers to look for Dr. Addison by the poolside.

The man dress in full suit enters a place where a pool of water big enough for a whale to survive in was leaves on sand and lots of tall trees, making it look natural with seats for the audience to sit and watch.

"Jordan!", the man dress in a suit shouts has he steps on the leaves on the sand, letting Jordan notice his presence.

Jordan was standing close by the water looking down on a dolphin in the water when heard a strange sound like someone had stepped on a leaf. He quickly raises his head up and looks around to notice his boss standing behind him.

"Boss, it's a pleasure seeing you here today," he said as he greet his boss. "What are you doing out here, Jordan?", his boss asks with an unpleasant look in his eyes.

"Why wouldn't I not want to be out here?", Jordan replied with an annoyed express. "after all, I am a marine biologist that study organisms and ecosystems in the ocean and other saltwater environment,".

"Yes, Jordan, I know what you are, but you do know that we can't keep Chelsea here anymore, right?", he boss spoke walking closer to him. "What you mean we can't keep her here?", Jordan asks with a confused expression.

Squeaks, squeaks, squeaks. The dolphin makes noises as she could feel the tension between the two men before her.

"Don't worry Chelsea, nothing will happen to you," Jordan bend down and touch Chelsea's face trying to comfort her then glance over on his boss and said, "Right, Mr boss?".

"Jordan, I'm serious, she will be going to a next facility tomorrow!" his boss shuts in anger. "Why so? You do know that Chelsea is also a little ill?", Jordan shouts in anger as he questions his boss about Chelsea being ill.

"Jordan, do not raise you voice at me!", his boss replied in anger with Jordan's action. "You are right, I shouldn't have raised my voice," Jordan said calmly. "But tell me one good reason why are you moving her?".

Jordan stood his ground. He was not going to let his boss has his way this time. His boss was the head of this institution for Marine biologist, but his actions weren't always for the need of wanting to care and protect sea lives, he was mostly in the Job for the money.

"Jordan, you already know the reason why we can't keep her here," his boss said with a smile as he touches Jordan's shoulder. "No, I don't know. Is it because of the money you can get out of it?", Jordan replies as he brushes off his boss arm off his shoulder.

"Come on now, Jordan, you know that money is the business and mindset already," his boss smirks at him. "I can't believe you right now! You selling her! She is sick goddamnit!", Jordan shouts in anger.

Jordan never want to leave Chelsea nor lose Chelsea because she is the only sea life that's left here at this institution that his boss has not yet sold and knowing that Chelsea was getting sick since last week he really do want to help her get better.

"So let me get this straight, after you sell her, what are you going to sell after her?", Jordan anger grew even more. "Look around, there is no other sea life around, because of you and your greed for money!".

"You know what Jordan, If you don't like the way I handle my business, you can always leave! Even better, you are fired from working at this institution! Pack your thing and leave now!", his boss shouts, commanding him to leave the institution.

His boss' sudden action did not shock him, and he was not going to beg or apologize to get back his job here. He prefers to live with a shark than to work with a man that sells creatures to earn a living.

Money wasn't that much of a big deal to Jordan, after all his family was wealthy and smart. He could buy an entire island if he wants with all the cash he has in his name. While in his family name they could buy thirty island, plus they own five islands and ten top companies across the world.

Squeaks, squeaks. The dolphin cried out in a sad tone. "Don't worry Chelsea, I really do hope he will send you to a better institution and if he don't, then I will buy you!", Jordan said comforting the dolphin that sadden by what Jordan boss said.

Jordan stand up and face his boss then turn his attend to the dolphin and said his goodbye, "Goodbye Chelsea and remember anything bad happens to you I will come and get you!". He was about to walk off but then stop and look at his was once boss.

He look straight into his was once boss eyes, smile then tap him on the shoulder and said, "Have a happy life!" then walk off to go get his things to leave.
