The HR lied to the CEO that Mirabel left the office to go have lunch with her boyfriend.
When Mirabel returned, the CEO was really angry with her.
Why did you leave this office without informing me. You left to go have lunch with your boyfriend? So the rest of us here doesn't have a partner to have lunch with? Is that what you are insinuating? Bearly two days that you started working here you are already going out with your boyfriend? Really? The CEO asked Mirabel.
Sir I didn't go to have lunch with my boyfriend. Mirabel said.
You know what I think you are suspended. The CEO said. No sir please sir. Don't suspend me. Mirabel pleaded.
No, I won't suspend you. Why will I? I won't. I change my mind. The CEO said. Thank you sir. God bless you. Mirabel knelt down before the CEO.
Yes, instead of suspending you, I rather deduct 30% from your salary this month. That will be perfect. The CEO said.
Please sir. Please sir. Please sir, don't deduct my salary. Mirabel begged. But all her begging went to deaf ears. The CEO called the head of finance and asked him to implement the deduction of Mirabel's salary. Next time before you leave the office during working hours you will inform me first. The CEO said before going back into the office.
That day at work Mirabel was just angry, angry that the HR would do something like this to her. She didn't even eat the lunch again.
After close of work that day, she passed through the HR office when the HR stopped her. Did you enjoy the lunch I got for you? The HR asked Mirabel. The question got Mirabel really angry. The HR asked the question in form of mockery.
She left the office and Jemima was just outside waiting for her.
Why is your face like this na? Jemima asked Mirabel immediately she saw her.
Is it not HR? Imagine the HR lying to the CEO that I went out during work hours to have lunch with my boyfriend. Mirabel said to Jemima...
Is it not Agnes? She is always like that, ones she noticed that the boss wants to start getting friendly with any lady in this office, she make sure she sab0tage the friendship. Jemima said as they both started walking home.
Is the HR name Agnes? Mirabel asked Jemima. Yes, that's her name. Jemima replied.
And the funny thing is that Boss didn't even ask to hear my own side of the story. He decided to remove 30% of my salary this month just like that. Mirabel said.
So sorry about that Love. I just wish you came to this office when his wife was still alive. Boss became this hard since he lost his wife. Jemima said.
We all have lost someone one way or the other. This shouldn't justify why he would deduct 30% from my salary?. How much is my salary that he is already deducting from it? Infact I will start looking for Job elsewhere. Mirabel said.
