What's Wrong With My Boss
Families

POV; Reba

Early in the day when the leaves and grass were still wet after the rain last night, I woke up. The cold wind that felt sharp piercing the bone, bursting in the air made me reluctant to get out from behind the blanket even if only a little.

As time went on, the dawn slowly dawned, I faintly heard footsteps outside the door of the room followed by a knock.

"Reba, wakeup. Shouldn't you be ready to go to work?" The familiar voice that asked from behind that door was my mother. Although actually I was awake from earlier, but I deliberately did not reply and even pulled the blanket to cover this thin body completely.

Before long I heard the sound of the door opening, my mother stepped closer to the bed and sat down near me. "Are you sick? You don't usually wake up like this" asked the mother. There was a little worry from his tone.

I immediately grabbed the blanket and sat up straight. "Reba is fine, I don't need to worry" I answered and got out of bed and stepped into the bathroom. If I were really sick, maybe that could be the reason why I shouldn't wake up this morning.

After the routine in the bathroom was over, I headed to the wardrobe to choose a white shirt with a black span skirt that I used to wear to go to work. I was dressed as well as usual, but now it was sad to look at my reflection in the mirror. "How's this? I can't tell Mom that I've been fired" I murmured softly.

I looked down for a moment, took a deep breath and then I exhaled loudly. "You'll be fine Reba, spirit!" I encouraged myself.

Now I am ready to start this morning with a positive mind. I stepped up cheerfully as if nothing had happened.

"Mom, Reba said to go first, yes," I said, kissing Mom's hand.

"Reba not having breakfast? I've made you half-cooked eggs" asked the mother.

"No need, Reba hastily," answered me who then immediately set off on a matic motorcycle that has always been faithful to accompany for seven years. There is no time, I have to immediately copy the job application letter and fill out a curriculum vitae to apply for a new job.

...***...

Some files have been arranged neatly in the map, now I just look for job vacancies that are in accordance with the level of education. Being a secretary or personal assistant is fine for me, after all I have quite an attractive appearance. Waist-length straight hair, a tall body, round eyes with brownish irises, plus a sharp nose and full lips. I am confident in the beauty I have.

I have also made sure that some large companies are looking for workers according to criteria like me, I will apply in three different places and hope to be accepted in one of them.

Before delivering the application letter, I did not forget to check the state of my beloved motor matic. Gasoline was almost exhausted, I checked the contents of the wallet which turned out to only be four pieces five thousand change from the copy place earlier. Finally I stopped at the nearest ATM, fortunately I still have savings from the rest of my salary last month.

At first there was nothing suspicious until I realized the ATM machine in front of me could not issue the nominal money requested, then immediately my eyes widened wide when checking the account balance which turned out to be drained.

"Dianxu!"

Not anyone else, this must be my little brother who took all the savings. I should've created a more complicated passcode than just my own date of birth for this cash withdrawal card. Moreover, Haoxuan often infiltrated my room which is often not locked. I have to call the rascal right away, hopefully he hasn't spent all my money.

"Twitched... That's it...."

"That's the only money I have. Haoxuan, you are outrageous, "I try to calm down.

...***...

With annoyance I made it home. Fortunately, the favorite bike did not break down in the middle of the road. As soon as I entered the house I immediately looked for a hoodlum who stole all my money. I found him sitting in front of a TV screen while playing Nintendo unaware of my presence. I opened the SNI helmet that was still attached to the head and threw it towards Haoxuan.

"Give me my money!" I said growled.

The startled Haoxuan immediately jumped up and immediately stood up. "What money?" tanyakanya. I'm sure he's just pretending not to know.

"Don't lie, Haoxuan! You took all my money, right?" ask me again in a high tone. I can't speak very well, Haoxuan has often irritated me.

Hearing the commotion, my mother immediately tried to tear us both apart. "You're just two brothers, don't fight like this. Haoxuan, you're doing something especially this time?" ask mother.

"The fool took Reba's money, Mother," I snorted as I tried to pin Haoxuan's head.

"Haoxuan, what are you using the money for? Give it back to your brother." Mother's orders were of course ignored, Haoxuan was even whiny as usual.

"Just calm down, the money will be changed later," said my sister then passed away. I tried to chase after him, but mother prevented me from asking for more explanation.

"What did your sister take?" ask the curious mother.

"All Reba's mother's money, almost two million rupiahs. Reba just got laid off from the company, that's all Reba's got." I couldn't look at my mother's face.

My mother immediately looks stroking the chest. Shocked and angry for sure he feels the same as me, but mother also can not do anything.

...***...

I went upstairs to Haoxuan's room hoping to find a clue to what the money was used for. When I opened the door I was immediately treated to the view of the room was very messy and smelled of cigarettes. This place feels stuffy and claustrophobic, I want to come in here if not urgent.

I then opened the window and slightly improved, while checking her drawer and wardrobe. What did he use that money for, anyway? Is he not using drugs? my question is in my heart.

After not finding anything suspicious in his room, I tidied up the books scattered on his desk. My sister was very smart, she was a sweet and kind sister. Everything changed after his best friend committed suicide. Shortly after that Haoxuan was expelled from school for fighting to make the child of a teacher enter the hospital. Now that Haoxuan is doing a lot of work, my mother just doesn't know how to deal with my sister's behavior.

I tidied a picture frame upside down on the table, two teenagers looking very cheerful in the photo, Haoxuan and his best friend during life. When the picture frame was lifted, I found a poker chip bearing the words Club' Stardust underneath. I suspect that Haoxuan must have spent money there.

Seriate.
