1 Miss Su, You're Fired (1)

"Miss Su! Goodmorning!"

"Hello…" I smiled at the security guard who greeted me.

"My partner is here so I can help you with that." The security guard kindly offered his help to me after seeing the big bags on both sides of my arm.

As usual, I said no to his kindness. Someone might get mad and no one wanted that to happen.

Ding!

The elevator opened and I arrived on my floor, hands still full. When I stood in front of the door, and even though I can put down the things I was holding, without a second thought, I chose to kick the door open.

The man inside was unperturbed by the noise I made. If you look at him from my angle, he looked like someone who was so engrossed by his job that any disturbance wouldn't affect him.

However, sorry to disappoint you but no. I put the bags on my hold carefully on his side table. Now that I'm just standing right in front of him, I can see his head hanging low and facing the laptop in front of him with his eyes closed.

"Goodmorning, Boss!" I greeted with a booming voice that can ruin one's eardrums.

His long eyelashes fluttered, as his eyes opened on the speed at the same level of a snail.

"You're here…" His voice was hoarse, indicating that he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

I gave him a forced smile and said, "You're breakfast is here, as well as the sample products from the Lenaya Toy Company."

"Hmm." His eyes were still dropping as though he can fall back asleep at any moment. He tapped his fingers onto the table, and without even given an order orally, I still know what he wanted me to do.

I pursed my lips, and placed the biggest bag onto the other table. I then opened the lightest bag, and one by one, removed the contents out from it. I replaced the laptop in front of him with food I bought from a from an eatery close to my apartment.

My heels keep making noises as I filled his glass with water from the dispenser. Now, his breakfast is ready. It consisted of a cheap looking tapsilog(1) and yeah, water.

It's been three years since I started working for this man, yet my the corner of my eye can't help but twitch every time I saw my boss' foods that was way cheaper than mine.

He looked satisfied as if he's facing a dish prepared by a chef from a five star hotel.

I gulped not because I wanted some of his but because of the mixed feelings I felt inside.

Ahh, can you believe that the man in front of me is a freaking rich magnate with an asset that can be amounted to billions?! Cause even she wouldn't! He looks like some damn salary man who's barely scraping by!

Ugh. I just sighed my disbelief, and started to arrange the sample products on the table, so he could properly take a look.

For three years, this has been my job. I'm his secretary slash assistant and slash maid. I had no qualms since the pay is quite high. But sometimes I just wanted to write a resignation letter with how lazy this boss of mine is, and made my work double than it was supposed to be. He was just that lazy that he even don't want to move his hands just to open the packet of his food, what's just missing is him, making me chew his food for him.

Man, at times like that, she just wanted to file a case of work oppression against him.

"Miss Su…" Now that he was wide awake from eating, his voice sounded firm.

"Yes, Boss."

"You don't need to do anything today than emptying your things on your table."

My hand paused while holding a figurine toy in my hand. I had the gist of where this conversation were leading on, but I kept my cool and said, "Why boss, are you going to finally promote me?" I gave him the most polite smile that I kept practicing since i started working under his wing.

"I found someone who can do more work than you yet still compromised to be paid with the same salary as you." His voice sounded distant as if the three long years worth of work I did for him was nothing but a feeble memory.

My smiled cracked and a few bulging nerves on my forehead appeared.

Then with an impassive voice, he laid the final blow, "Miss Su, you're fired."

My breath hitched as disbelief washed over my system.

Fuck you, Ramaiah! Are you really going to fire me because of your stinginess?!
