I’m Someone Else

“Oh, by the way.” Izzy was on her way out when she paused and turned to Thomas. “I forgot to tell you something. Since you’re back from the army, come and join our class reunion. Our class representative has said that everyone should meet up more often! It’s happening at 8 PM tonight, at Haven Resort & Spa. I’m sure the others would be thrilled to see you. Come and have dinner with us!”

She marched off after saying that.

Yes, she walked off before Thomas could even get a word in edgewise.

An old classmate, huh? What kind of a bloody classmate is that? Just another one of those pretentious snobs!

It seemed to prove that in this day and age, people couldn’t survive without having some kind of status, position, or wealth to their name. Even the genuine camaraderie of high school classmates didn’t survive the test of time.

“I’m so sorry, but you saw what happened…”

Molly’s tone was apologetic. If she were the head of the human resources department, she would stick to the company’s policies, but alas, she was merely one of the lowly pen pushers in the HR department, and she had no say!

“It’s fine!”

It went without saying that Thomas wouldn’t hold this against Molly. After all, she did try and put in a good word for him earlier. He wasn’t a fool, so he knew what was going on.

“So this company provides a uniform?”

“Yes, we do. We have a full range of uniforms for everyone, including the office staff, drivers, and even the security guards. Everyone has their own set of uniforms.”

“Bring me a set of uniforms then!”

“W-What?”

Molly was a little dumbfounded. Is it possible that he’s not right in the head? Does he think that anyone off the streets can get a uniform? The uniforms are for those who’ve been hired by the company!
