Let's Get Married

The phone rings and when Lily picks up, the Bit Inc.’s manager notifies her the transfer to the main office. Lily feels euphoric about that and even happier after meeting Freddie and Kingsley. The manager was not treating her very well after all.

However, the fairytale does not last long. The manager just spits out orders unilaterally taking away every possibilities to improve, “The company also considers the progress of the case, not to be taken slightly. It is not a one man’s job. Freddie told you that. You will report directly to our CEO Rex, keeping him constantly posted on the advancement of the case itself."

Lily's expression cracked, not sure she understood properly she says, "What?" As in that new was so painful she was hoping it was not true.

The manager without modifying his tone nor his face, repeats accurately everything was already been said and then goes patiently, "Lily, is it clear now?"

Desperation now pervades Lily.

She is standing with the phone in her hand wishing it was just a dream.

But it is all true. She can only accept it. Bargains are over. She holds her breath and deals with it as professionally as possible. "I, the lawyer in charge of the case, forbid you to make any changes, especially handing over the processing power, I will negotiate with the company’s lawyers."

"Apologies Lily, I'm afraid we can't agree on this one." The other party simply refuses with cold voice.

Lily, quite annoyed, asks, "Why?"

"Because it’s an order coming from President Rex himself." It seems that the manager on the phone feels Lily’s anger and directly suggests, "Perhaps you can talk to President Rex directly."

The call disconnects taking away also the last hope. Lily's head is pounding for the confusion, making her dizzy enough to forget to put the phone down.
