Expect the Unexpected

The streets are bustling with busy crowd. The streets are filled with colorful decorations and lights. Even though three more months to go before Christmas, you can see that everyone started decorating their houses with lights and lanterns. Excitement and happiness are written on their faces specially children whose looking forward for that special day.

Well that's not the case on Samantha Lane, 22 years old making her way on her apartment after she was told to go home early. She didn't have the chance to ask why or if she still have to work tomorrow. After walking for so long, she didn't noticed that her feet brought her to her bestfriend's place. When Sofia spotted her dispirited face, she rushed out to meet her. "Hey what happened to you? Are you alright? Come here." she pull her to her embrace and patted her back. "There, there, you're gonna be just fine. I'm here. Now tell me what happened." she keep on stroking her back as if a mother comforting her own child.

As long as she heard her say those words, she can't hold it back anymore and broke in tears " Fifi! why is life so unfair to me? why am I so unfortunate? what did I do wrong in the past to deserve all of this!?" she continues to rant and cry her heart out while her bestfriend keeps on comforting her.

She's kind of happy that Sam decided to let it all out and not keep it to herself and act cool even though she's hurting and broken inside like she always do that makes her worry for her even more.

After a few hours, she told Sofia everything that happened. "Well, don't stress yourself anymore. I think you just have to ask them tomorrow. If they say you're fired, then look for another job. So, hush now. Its gonna be alright. You still have me remember?" Sofia said while giving her an ice pack for her swollen eyes due to hours of crying.

 She just nodded and hum in response.

Sofia knows if she feels bad, eating ice cream will make her feel better so she gave her one. Samantha was busy eating her ice cream when her phone rang. They look at each other when they see the name on the register. It's from her Superior.

She anxiously answer the phone. "Manager Smith..."

"Miss Lane, I hope you have a good rest today. Tomorrow we will be expecting you early than your usual time as you need to report to the HR department to get some papers. You are expected to report at 188th floor, the CEO's office first. That's all. See you tomorrow."

The call already ended but she was still in a daze. She was about to ask her Superior if she still can go back to work the next day. She was going to promise him that she'll work very hard and will try every means to avoid any contact with that weird and handsome Boss of their company. But before she can ask something, this is all she heard from her Superior.

What the hell is going on? Yes i did beg the heavens to be good to me even once but why do I feel like it's going to be my end? Can someone please tell me why the hell do I have to report on the CEO's office? Why do I have to face that man again?!

Now she's in a dilemma.
