Poorly Forgotten Secretary
PROLOG: Resign 7th
The sound of a very loud slap echoed throughout the office room of Marketing Director Trigger Corp.
Fortunately the room with a contemporary modern design was made soundproof, so people outside the room did not know that Hans Trigger, Marketing Director at Trigger Corp., had no idea, and the second son of the President Director of the company, just got slapped by his beautiful secretary, Miss Ambrosia Heart.
"Basic damn woman! What do you think you just did?" hans snapped furiously while holding his bruised jaw and still feeling hot from Ambrosia's slap just now. His red eyes flashed as he stared intently at the woman who had slapped him.
Ambrosia. Its expression is ice-cold at the north pole. He doesn't care about anything anymore. He's fed up. Very-very sick. The only emotion he could feel right now was the disgust of the man before him.
Both hands of Ambrosia were trembling at his sides, trying to resist the urge to crashing, grabbing, and slapping his boss's face again and again, until satisfied.
But Ambrosia did not want to give the man who made her sick to be able to turn things around. Salah could-can be himself who is charged in the case of assault. And Hans Trigger is a lowly man who will definitely do just that to save his self-esteem and reputation.
No, inner Ambrosia. I will never humble myself in the face of this crazy bastard. I need to stay calm, so I can win.
Therefore Ambrosia should not act rashly, for now one slap is enough—although deep down he still wants to slap the man again, but for the sake of a landslide victory, even though deep down he still wants to slap him again, Ambrosia should be able to hold back.
"I'll sue you. Sure. I'm gonna fire you, too, and I'm gonna make sure you don't take a dime when you get out of here. Look at it later, you lowly slave don't know thank you." Grumbling Hans hurried to the back of his desk and picked up the phone.
Ambrosia knew very well that Hans Trigger would definitely feel extremely humiliated over a slap from her. The man with such sky-high self-esteem would never understand the way of self-introspection, even though it was clearly the man who made the mistake first to trigger a slap from the secretary.
And Ambrosia also knew exactly who the man was going to call right now. He could have guessed it easily, because Ambrosia knew quite well the character of his boss this one despite only working with the man for six months. For this reason Ambrosia was on guard by preparing something.
While Hans was still waiting for his phone call to be answered by his lawyer, it was still with his angry gaze locked on the secretary, Ambrosia calmly pulled a mechanical pen from his shirt pocket and pressed the top of the pen.
A second later came a series of disgusting sentences that Hans uttered in order to seduce his secretary into making out with him, minutes before Ambrosia landed on Hans Trigger's face.
Hans's small, sunken eyes instantly widened. The combination of shock and disbelief made Hans look like an idiot in Ambrosia's eyes. The uneasiness made Hans' arm holding the phone's handle appear weakened. The man placed the original phone handle on his desk with a terrible look towards Ambrosia.
"You... You recorded our conversation?" his question was in disbelief as he pointed to Ambrosia's face.
"It's not a conversation, it's just your voice. You need to remember that not a second of my voice was recorded in it." Ambrosia finally made a sound after she turned off the recorder that recorded evidence of the director's verbal abuse against her.
Ambrosia has kept quiet since then to prevent her voice from entering the recording, while avoiding anything that lawyer Hans Trigger could possibly use against her in case of any demands from her boss.
"Fuck up!" Hans was shouting. Still with eyes that bulged furiously, the corners of his lips then lifted to form a terrible grin similar to the expression of the Joker villain character. "Are you planning to sue me for harassment using the tape evidence, Miss Heart?" hans asked with a faint trembling voice.
"Of course you're not naive enough to go stupid with that kind of weapon, are you?" hans fishing line.
"This is indeed my weapon" Ambrosia replied firmly.
Hans instantly looked stiff. The two hands he laid on the table clenched together.
"But not to sue you, but to make a deal."
Hans kicked off his desk spontaneously. "Bad! You want to blackmail me apparently?" Hans' jaw hardened as his returning emotions crept up to the surface.
Ambrosia should have known how the man's incompetent brain worked. Although including men from the elite, but as a second son who did not get enough attention from both parents, he was, Hans Trigger did not have the intelligence that was honed and prepared early on as should be heirs of large companies, which is why the man only had a narrow and simple mindset, unfortunately, it tends in the negative direction.
Ambrosia took a deep breath, "It's up to you to take it for granted, but as long as you don't sue me for alleged physical abuse, nor will I submit anonymously to the company's official website, which I believe will greatly affect your reputation."
Ambrosia was very sure to hear Hans Trigger's teeth grinding from where he was standing. It was obvious to Ambrosia that the man felt threatened, and cornered.
"What is that?" hans asked suspiciously.
"Of course not." Ambrosia smiled faintly. "Before you dishonorably fire me, you should accept my resignation so as not to diminish the rights I should have had when I left the company."
"What about the evidence on the tape?" Hans asked with a huff.
"I will destroy it before you as soon as my rights are fulfilled as a resigned employee without any problems." Ambrosia said as she stared straight into Hans' eyeballs. Declaring his earnestness.
As foolish as Hans was, it was impossible not to notice the seriousness in the tone of voice nor the attitude of his secretary.
"Damn it, shit, shit." Eventually Hans could only curse up in tears while ruffling his own hair, realizing his defeat.
In this way, Ambrosia was a few steps ahead of Hans. With a calm step Ambrosia walked out of the room. A sense of relief instantly spread throughout his body after being outside. He's winning. He won this fight. It's time to say goodbye to Hans Trigger, the perverted director.
This is the seventh time Ambrosia has had to resign from her place of work for the same reason. Although disappointed because he was again unable to last long in a company, but Ambrosia never regretted. He believes that someday, he will be able to find a comfortable workplace for him, as well as a boss who will not abuse him in any form. Sure.
