Chapter 81
336 Words
Like a foolish moth attracted by the waving fascinating blaze of a dancing fire, not realizing how dangerous it is and that it soon will take its life.
I barely have any difference other than him. I wasn’t fascinated nor engrossed by it. Rather, I played as a sacrifice in exchange for somebody else’s welfare.
“Bullsh*t!” I heard him sneer at the other line. Of course, he was enraged.
But the worst thing that would happen would be for Candy, as she is her direct subordinate. The punishment would be imposed on her first before turning the table.
“Tell Candy to come to me.” He continued to speak cruelly.
His anger at this moment is unfathomable, that whatever reason you give to him will surely be rejected.
People in this industry are ruthless and merciless. They are bloodthirsty. They are...
They are the worst nightmare for us. When you’re still of use, then you will be treated with generosity, but when you are not, then you have to dig your own grave. You crawl into it and choose an easy death, otherwise, they will give you a rewarding 'punishment'.
I feel sorry for Candy. She had always been the first to suffer the consequences of every failed transaction. To endure the pains of her men's failure, as he believes that whoever takes the lead should be held accountable for any mishap.
“Please boss, spare Candy at this time. It was my negligence.” I begged.
“Okay, then, come to me instead.”
Hearing him, a sudden fear crawled underneath my skin. Worming its way to my bones.
“Boss– I, I–” I stammered, unable to continue my words.
“You asked to spare Candy, right? Then submit yourself to her.” He snapped.
And so, after weighing the pros and cons of my future action, I agreed with him and wanted to protect Candy one more time.
“Okay”, I responded before our conversation ended.
