Chapter 4 Boomerang

Just imagine, if every time she causes trouble, she gets a 20% deduction - five times she's wrong, that's the end of her salary.

To make matters worse, the employment contract states that he cannot resign before the end of his term. Otherwise, the fine is three times the salary. How come she agreed to this yesterday?

Back and forth, it's just as unfortunate. Not to mention Mickey, who has been busy collecting new shoes since yesterday.

He didn't know that his sister was suffering from the mental stress of working with someone as sadistic as Jeremy. He was more like a colonizer than a boss.

Nesta wanted to get out of this inhumane office. Find a new job, become a pikachu negligee model too.

At 10:00 there will be a leadership meeting.

You'll see, her arrogant boss will feel the consequences!

Not bad, right, getting a big compensation.

Having just formulated her plan, Nesta unconsciously grinned to herself. The more she imagined it, the more exciting it became. Jeremy would be 'killed' this time.

Lusi, who had just arrived at the office, was amazed at her behavior. The new janitor didn't realize she was grinning to herself.

"What are you doing? Are you laughing to yourself?" Lusi asked.

"Mom has a habit of popping up suddenly."

Nesta was suspicious. Maybe Lusi had the knowledge to lighten her body. The reason was, every time she came, Nesta didn't realize it. The next thing she knew, she was in front of her face.

"I'd be too lazy to reprimand you if it weren't for that weird thing you did."

Nesta furrowed her brow. She had the feeling she was acting normal. Natural as a child approaching old age. What was wrong with her behavior?

"My feelings are normal, Ma'am."

Lusi shook her head. "Have you seen your behavior in the mirror or heard your family's comments about your behavior?"

Oh, never mind family. Even the neighborhood chief often sees Nesta's behavior.

"It's normal, Mom. No one has made any negative comments."

Lusi swung her shoulders. "Then they're just like you."

Nesta scowled. Indeed, how low was she in Lusi's eyes?

"Well then, why did you reprimand me?"

"Because I saw you, grinning by yourself!"

"Well, it's okay, Mom. I did a somersault too, that's my right." In matters like this, Nesta had to answer. Indeed, the people in the office were sadistic, all of them bullying Nesta. Except Shaun.

Although she was annoyed to death, everything Nesta said was true.

In the next second, Lusi waved her hand in front of Nesta's face to show off her freshly painted nails in a bright red color. It was a stark contrast to her, who looked dirty with a glass polishing cloth.

"I think you should see a psychiatrist! It's been a few times since you've been maracau alone." Lusi walked away after her.

As Lusi turned her back to Nesta and walked away, she imitated the secretary's pretty style. Anyway, Nesta was confused, why did Lusi seem to hate her?

What did Nesta have wrong with her that Lusi had to keep interrupting her.

***

The meeting started at 10:00. Nesta made coffee for the meeting with the help of other employees. After the coffee and snacks were ready, they were delivered to the meeting room.

Nesta noticed that Jeremy was sitting in the main position. His eyes were so focused on the laptop that he didn't realize that the person he hated the most was there - Nesta.

Entering slowly, Nesta placed the coffee in front of Jeremy.

There was Lusi and another leader. As Nesta put Lusi's coffee down, Jeremy looked up.

The Golden Star CEO looked around, the other leaders were already drinking their coffee.

"Lusi, have you drunk your coffee yet?" he asked.

"Not yet, Sir."

"Then, trade your coffee for mine!"

Lusi was dumbfounded. "What? Swap, Sir?"

"Why, you don't want to exchange coffee with me?"

"But, why did you ask for an exchange?"

"Because I want to drink that one."

The other employees watched them as they talked.

Nesta's eyes rounded perfectly when she realized that Lusi wanted to exchange coffee.

She bit her lip. If Lusi drank Jeremy's coffee, it would be dangerous.

Better for Jeremy, Nesta could be fired. Lusi, on the other hand, could get nagged for the whole year. Then, Jeremy would cut her salary again.

That's a lot of bad luck.

"Ms. Lusi, let me make a new coffee. It's not good, Mr. Jeremy had a piece of it earlier."

Lusi refused. "It's okay, let me drink this coffee." She pointed at Jeremy's coffee cup.

Nesta was almost out of ways. Meanwhile, Lusi felt this was a good opportunity. Now Jeremy wanted to exchange coffee with her, who knows after this they could have a closer relationship.

Realizing that Nesta was trying to take the coffee cup from Lusi's face, Jeremy became even more suspicious.

"Why are you busy, when I want to exchange coffee?"

Nesta turned her head. "It's not like that, Sir. You already held the cup earlier. If your hands are germy, Ms. Lusi will get a stomachache. Sir, there's also a virus outbreak right now. Who knows, your hand has the virus."

The other employees laughed.

"Shut up!" snapped Jeremy. Now he looked straight at the most insolent subordinate in the office. "You just answer honestly. You must have poisoned the drink, right?"

Nesta feigned surprise. Acting like a victim of a soap opera-style crime. If she used a soundtrack, it would be even better.

"Don't pretend!" Jeremy guessed, making Nesta even more annoyed.

As long as Nesta couldn't prove it, her boss would keep accusing her.

"You shouldn't make accusations at random. Remember, Sir, slander is more cruel than murder."

Jeremy smiled sarcastically. "I'm not slandering! But I'm asking!" Jeremy insisted.

If he hadn't been the boss, Nesta would have pushed Jeremy into the sewer!

Jeremy spoke again. "If the drink wasn't poisoned, then prove it!"

Damn! Second-rate shit.

Nesta sighed for a moment. "How do you want me to prove it?" she challenged.

"Drink that coffee!"

What the ....

"Why are you silent? You can't prove it?"

"Why should I be afraid?"

Jeremy was still staring intently, as if telling Nesta to drink.

Nesta picked up the coffee cup. "How much do you want me to drink?"

Lusi was dumbfounded that Nesta would be so brave to Jeremy.

"Drink the coffee until it runs out!"

She looked at the coffee cup that was meant for Lusi.

God, Jeremy was such a pain in the ass!

Nesta then gulped down the coffee.

"Here!" She showed me the empty coffee cup. "I drank it all, right, Sir. You see I'm still alive, not poisoned. You're making a false accusation."

Damned boss!

Nesta's gaze now met Lusi's. "Ms. Lusi, be careful, if Mr. Jeremy wants to exchange poisoned coffee with you."

"Shut up!"

Even though it was a weapon, at least it still got the bonus of making Lusi angry.

Nesta was right, too. If the coffee was poisoned, Lusi would be the one drinking it. At first, Lusi thought Jeremy wanted to get closer to her. It turned out that he wanted to make Lusi a 'sacrifice'.

Handsome, but no feelings.

Jeremy cleared his throat. "I want more coffee, but I don't want you to make it!"

Do I really want to make you coffee?

Nesta could only smile wryly.

Immediately finishing up her work, Nesta left the meeting room.

After the door was closed ....

Arrrrgggh!

She dashed to the bathroom.

"Salty... salty... salty!" Nesta spit out the coffee she had been drinking, after reaching the bathroom.

Damn Jeremy! Because of him, Nesta had to drink a cup of salty coffee.

Note that she put two spoons of salt in the coffee. Can you imagine how salty it was?

Meanwhile, Jeremy, who was still leading the meeting, was still convinced that Nesta wanted to play a trick on him.

If so, he was cheering inwardly.

Taste you!
