Chapter Two
Zurie
Why the hell does Niko Armstrong want to see me?
Working in the research department at Mantabo Industries hadn’t put me in the position of meeting with the founder and CEO thus far. So, when I got the call that he wanted me to come to his office, I immediately assumed the worst.
I’m going to get fired.
But for what?
I hadn’t done anything wrong. At least as far as I knew.
Brushing shoulders with someone as I rushed past them, I mumbled an apology, “Sorry.”
“Hold up.”
I stopped and turned to find my supervisor staring at me with narrowed eyes. “Oh, Tommy. Sorry,” I muttered.
“Where are you going in such a rush, Zurie?”
“Armstrong’s office.” I looked down at the floor, my stomach pinching and grinding upon itself as worry filled me.
I cannot lose this job.
Tomm
