Captivation: Want Nothing But You

“Susan, it is entirely your fault! You aren’t supposed to blame any other person but yourself. You claim to have made a lot of money for the company, don’t you? Well, we have made negotiations with the other companies. Now the only thing you have got to do is to pay for liquidated damages. And as regards paying the money, the ball is in your court. We are not going to force you.” 

“No, help me!” Susan pleaded. Her eyes had turned red.

 “Becky, there has got to be another way.”

 “I’ve warned you!” Becky stared at her unemotionally. 

“Did I not tell you to behave yourself and not cause any trouble again? But you refused to take heed.”

“I’m truly sorry. I know I was wrong. But please help me.” Susan grabbed Becky’s hand and cried.

 “You are the only one who can come to my rescue right now. There has to be something you can do!” 

“No, there isn’t.” Becky pulled herself free from Susan’s grip and stepped back.

 “I can do nothing to help you.” And in no time, the hope in Susan’s eyes faded away the letter of termination. There is another reason.” 

After a brief pause, Becky said word by word, “From now on, I cease to be your agent! The company has decided that all your current activities will be cancelled. As for when you can start working again, we don’t know yet.” 

As a matter of fact, Becky had put it euphemistically. There were only three words in the email sent by the company. “No more activities.”

“I have nothing more to say to you. So have a nice day.” 

“No!” Susan stuttered. However, Becky left without looking back. Out of desperation, Susan threw the things in her hands to the floor. 

After coming out of the ward, Becky went straight to the elevator which stopped on the same floor. When the elevator doors opened, a man walked out hurriedly. He was wearing a hat and a mask. His attention was most likely elsewhere because he ran straight into Becky.
