My Sweet Punishment by Amelia Brooks (little red riding hood ebook free .TXT) 📗

      I put the letter on the table, trying to keep my fingers from shaking.

      The man took the paper and ran his eyes over it, then raised his eyebrows.

     “I think I was right about you yesterday," he said coldly. “And may I ask what made you change your mind, Ms. Brown?”

     “I think you misunderstood me then...” I found it difficult to find the right words again. I can’t say I'm leaving because of his harassment or I can…

     “No, it’s you misunderstood me, Mia," the man again said my name, and I tensed. Then he opened a drawer and, pulling out some document, handed it to me.

     “Read carefully, on page 5,” he said dryly and opened the laptop again, apparently to continue the work I had interrupted earlier.

     In case of sudden dismissal at his/her own request before the end of the contract, the employee pays compensation in the amount of all salaries.

     WHAT?! In my case, in the amount of twelve months! Where can I get so much money? Is this even legal? And how could I miss this point? So many questions were running through my head right now. Heck!

     “Any other questions, Ms. Brown?” asked my tormentor. “If you don’t have any, you may leave. I’ll call you a little bit later to review my schedule for the week.”

      I just stood there, gasping for air like a stranded fish, unable to say anything.

     “What a bastard you are!” I did say it out loud. Although, there were completely different obscene words in my head.

     “We’ll consider that you’ll get off with a warning for this behavior the first time” the man looked at me from under his glasses with a cold stare. “But next time I advise you to choose your words talking to me.”

      “And what will happen? You will fire me?” I don’t know where that courage came from, but I started bickering with a man.

      “Oh, no, Mia,” he said calmly, and then abruptly stood up. I automatically stepped back to the door, “You won’t like my punishment.” The man suddenly crumpled up my resignation letter and threw it in the trash. “Also, clean yourself up. Your appearance is not only a disgrace to yourself, but also to the place where you work.” I flushed at his words.

      And I didn’t think then that my hell in this company was just beginning…

What do you think of Mia's reaction to Henry's actions?
