Chapter

Diane POV.

Omg, its already 10am.. How can i be so careless!!.

I must have been totally drained by jerk Eric.

He had been loading me assignment after assignment these past 6 months.

I took quick shower, put on my working suit, applied mild make-up and rush out of the house.

There are no time for quickie breakfast!!

It took me around 30 minutes to drive to the company's basement parking and another 10minutes to skip to my 2nd floor as the elevator wasn't working as usual.

Its said that our company is one of the biggest company in Jersey but if only one stepped into this place.

"Dianne Gurney Jr" loud voice stopped me in my track..

I have just stepped to my cubicle when the owner of the voice appeared at my desk.

"Young lady, if it wasn't for your good old dad, you will be long gone from this company.. And today i will make sure that you are gone from this place"..

"Please Mr. Jo, please.. I really need this job to pay for my apartment bill", I pleaded with my most pitiful look.

All of the employees were looking at me with pitiful expressions on except for 3 girls at the corners, who was smirking and smiling happily.

The bunch of show-off girls.

"Young lady, in my office now" he said before he heads to his office..

Now Mr. Jo is the most strictest and no-nonsense type of man.

"Dianne, Linda and her girls were bitching about you this morning to Mr. Jo.

You better be careful" Sara, whispers when i passed by her desk. I only nodded to her and make my way to the manager's room.

"Enter", the voice responded when i knocked at his door. "Please sit down".

"Dianne, you do know that your dad wants you to be a good engineer. But are you keeping up to his expectations?

Do you even care of saving my face. Is this how you destroy my trust on you?"

Sir, I don't get what your meaning is? I was late and I admit it was my mistake but i promise you that it wont happen again.

"Exposing or attempting to expose the company's design is big offense.. How dare you do involve in such deal?

The Truxton is not only our biggest competitor". he raised his voice.

"I really don't understand what you mean. Me, a traitor? Impossible, i would never do those things. You must have got the wrong information". I defended myself from him.

"Then what is this?" he opened one of this drawers and threw some photos on the desk.

I was shocked to see photos, there were about 5 photos of me in front of the Truxton main entrance.

It was pictures of me with Eric. Fuck, so that's why that jerk forced me to come there last week. It was to trapped me in the photoshoot.

The ironic thing was, Eric's pictures are not in any of those photos. There was pictures of me in different angle, seeming waiting for someone.

"What do you explain on these? What secret did you leaked? Tell me, before I report you to the police", he demanded.

"Mr. Jo, no matter what these pictures looks like, its not what its looks like," i explained. "So, explain", he briefly said.

"Whoever gave you these pictures are definitely trying to frame me, who gave it to you?". Mr. Jo was deep in thought for a moment and picked up the receiver of his telephone.

"Dear, will you please call Linda and Kath to come in my room immediately, he said over the line.

After hanging up the call he looked at me an explained that it was both of them that confidently explained and handed over the photos this morning.

Those two are always up for no good. When Milly was new here, she immediately be-friended me and we became close. The two of them were not so happy then and was constantly looking for an opportunity to separate both of us. The day came when they brainwashed her to believe that I was after the guy she had crushed one and then our friendship went down to drain. So to keep story short, she now is an allies with these two girls.

<Knock, Knock>

"Please enter and please have a seat".

Could both of you explain what is these? Mr. Jo, couldn't you see the pictures clearly that she was selling our secrets to the enemies, Linda said.

How did you know and who took these pictures? Linda then explained someone posted it to her and that's how she knew. it. After 30minutes of interrogation, both was unable to answer well. The interrogation made Linda angry and she burst out angrily "Why aren't you interrogation her but instead doing it on us? Its clearly her in the pictures, ask her to not admit it if its not her". Its me alright, but if you see Mr. Jo, I am clearly framed by ill-hearted persons". This angered Linda more and she suddenly attacked Dianne.

<Slap, slap, aah, slap, boom>

Slaps on Dianne's face and surprised Dianne reacted by slapping back Linda's face, hair-pulling competition suddenly broke out between both.

Both were a match, Dianne then pushed Linda to floor and smashing the chairs in the process. Dianne sat on Linda's stomach and pulls strongly on Linda's hair, while Linda grabs on her neck tightly. Each is not giving weakening or showing signs of giving up.

"Enough!!! Both of you". Mr. Jo shouted.

That somehow stopped both of them. Both was in terrible state, shirts crumpled and skirts torn badly. Hairs was in mess and both have slap marks on their cheeks.

"You both should be ashamed of yourselves. Both of you are terminated for misbehaving in company premises." You both either leave by yourselves or I will have the security chase you all out".

With that call, I went out of his office and pack my things. I quickly ran out before any of the other staffs ask me any questions.

As soon as I reach the car, I thrown all my stuffs in and drive off. I surely will never step my foot here, i totally feel embarrassed with myself over the chick fight. What a day!!
