Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law

CHAPTER EIGHT: CHEATED AND HUMILIATED.

Miles had arrived at Styleon Group in a sullen mood. He felt mentally drained as he couldn’t help but replay the horrible fight he had with his wife.

After all he had gone through; he was done pretending to be something he wasn't. He was the farthest thing from a poverty-stricken man. He was the heir to one of the wealthiest empires in the world, and it was high time he acted like it. This was why had decided to quit his job.

Once he arrived at the Styleon Group building, he was immediately confronted by his fellow security men. He could see the haughty expressions on their faces.

Miles didn't pay any mind to this though. He had never been close with any of these workers anyway. "Hey, guys. I'd like to see the head of security."

“Why are you asking us? If you want to see him, go look for him yourself.”

“He must think we’re his errand boys or something.”

The security officers began mocking Miles right in his face but Miles remained passive. He could tell that these guys weren’t going to be of any help to him, so he simply ignored them and headed inside.

A few minutes later, he found the chubby head of security returning to his office from the restroom.

“Sir, do you have a second? I’d like to talk to you about something important.” Miles quickly met him before he could enter his office.

“Oh, it’s you.” The chubby man said those words with a hint of ridicule before sighing. “Very well, come inside my office. We’ll talk there.”

Once they entered the man’s office, they both settled on opposite ends of a small wooden desk.

“Alright then; what do you want, kid?” The chubby man barely looked at him.

"I'd like to officially quit my post as a junior security officer of this establishment." He pulled out an envelope containing his letter of resignation and placed it on the desk before sliding it across the surface.

"Oh." The chubby head of security took the paper and without a second thought, he ripped it into shreds. "I won't need your useless letter of resignation, because you were fired hours ago. You are no longer an employee of Styleon Group."

Miles was surprised by what he just heard. “What do you mean by that? On what grounds have I been fired?” 

Though, whether he had been fired or had quit, it didn't make any difference as Miles would still be free from Styleon Group either way. But he was curious to know what he did to warrant such measures taken upon him in his absence.

The chubby man glared at him. “Consider it your bad luck for messing with a senior employee who holds a strong influence in the company.”

It took a moment before Miles realized who the head of security was talking about. “So you’re telling me that Edmund Porsche is the reason I got fired.” 

Miles recalled how the older man had made it clear that he was going to steal Lola from him. He deduced that was why he had been fired. Edmund wanted him to be jobless, so he could no longer provide for his family in any way and even become a burden to his wife. This kind of situation will definitely result in Lola resenting him even more.

Miles sneered internally. He was going to make that scheming snake of a man pay for everything he had done. 

“If you have decided to fire me, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Miles shrugged his shoulders. “But what about my salary? It’s already the end of the month so I’m entitled to the pay, right?”

The chubby man didn’t like the way Miles had handled the news. He wanted Miles to beg him. “What stupid salary? You won’t find any such thing here, so get lost.”

Now, this was something Miles wouldn't take lying down. Even though the salary was close to nothing, it was still his by-rights, and he refused to be cheated. "Since you refused to pay me, I'll be taking up this issue with the general manager."

The chubby man waved Miles away lazily with his hand. “Whatever, just get out of my sight before I have your former co-workers throw you out.”

Miles went straight to the manager, only to find out the man was in support of what the head of security did to him. He then threatened to report the manager to the Human Resources Department. This pissed the manager off and he quickly called the security officers to deal with Miles.

What these numerous security officers did to Miles afterward was horrendous.
