CHAPTER FIVE
926 Words
"What?! The file clerk? I don't know who the file clerk is, I didn't give anyone lunch today except the one I brought in for you" Chloe said with utter confusion and panic
"Me?" Skyler retorted rather sarcastically and snorted "You didn't bring me any food today neither did I collect any food from you. I collected my lunch myself and ate it right in my office, and oh, permit me to remind you that you were seen with a bag of food today during lunch which you brought to this floor and no one ate in the office today except me and the clerk who didn't leave her office at all. Which food did she eat then? and who would have obviously wanted her poisoned ?" Skyler said eyeing the pile of files in front of Chloe
"Boss, I really didn't poison the clerk, I don't even know her nor how this happened and I really hope she's alright. I will take full responsibility just please don't fire me! Please!" Chloe pleaded to Corey
" Really? You still want to stay after you did something so unpredictable? Who would have thought an innocent looking b***h like you could do something like that huhn "
'what I did to this lady, I do not know but I surely will get back at you, for now, let me be sure my job is intact ' Chloe thought while looking at Skyler smugly
"I really need this job. I'll do my best to not make any mistake that will affect you. Heck, it's my first day at work too, please, do not fire me" Chloe pleaded once again
"Listen to me young lady, if you still want to work in this company, you would go back out, knock, wait for a response before you come in... Now, out."
" Uhhm... Sir? "
" Boss, I just said the file clerk was poisoned, is she not... "
" You're fired" Corey said still, with a calm voice
" Yeah that's right... You're fired slug! " Skyler repeated to Chloe's face
Chloe stood properly with her arms crossed " No darling, I believe he was referring to you " Chloe responded with a smile
" Two securities in my office, now." Corey said over the phone and two men walked in
"We'll see about who is fired and who is not then... " Skyler said to Chloe with a smirk on her face
" Take her out " Corey commanded.
" Ma'am please, move" one of the security man said to Skyler
"What?! No, no, he said to take HER out" Skyler told the guard and pointed to Chloe
" Interesting. I ordered you to take her out and you're asking her to move and she's still even conversing with you, seems you found another job somewhere else huhn? "
" Sorry boss "
The two security guards held and carried Skyler
"What! No!"
"f*****g put me down!"
"I can walk on my own fuckface! Let me go!He wasn't even referring to me!"
" And you, is the spite in your heart that humongous that you'll willingly take someone's life?"
" I honestly didn't poison the file clerk. Yes,I brought food up here but I brought it for Skyler and she collected it from me..."
" I don't need the story. Finish up with the files" Corey said with a dismissive tone.
As much as Chloe wanted to punch him and at the same time tender an apology, she was glad her job was safe but was also bothered about the file clerk being poisoned.
'who could have done that and tried to blame her? And who is the file clerk?'
It's just her first day at work but so far, it looks like she's spent a week already.

"Chloe Anderson on the line, who is this please?"
Her phone had been buzzing since forever and she was way too busy to be picking up calls that aren't from the company but she decided to pick it up anyways...
"So it's true! You truly ran away!" The receiver at the other end seemed agitated.
"Who is this please, I really don't have time on my hands this evening"
"You ran away from the man helping this family, you ran away from our source of livelihood. Even if you don't think of anyone could you not consider your brother? How are we supposed to live?! "
Chloe hung up in an instance. She didn't want anything to do with that family, she didn't want anything to do with her supposed brother, and she definitely, at this point, do not need anything to remind her of where she was coming from.
'How did she even get my number? Will she really ever stop torturing herself and trying to make her life a living hell? '
Bit by bit, memories came back. Traumatic memories of the drilling that was done on her, the endless a***e, even when she would collapse or faint, it still continued and she will wake up still being used...
Chloe shook her head as if to swipe the memories away as she bent over to continue her file sorting.
Yes it was minutes past eight already and even if most workers were already gone, as long as she was not done with the file sorting and this stupid grumpy fool was still there, there was no rest in sight for her. Thankfully, she's more than halfway done and will, even if not released, will be able to relax.
