"Hey, Mr. Manager, are you going to fire me as well?" One of the employees inquired humorously as everyone laughed at Scot.
They all take him as a joke or to be more precise, they take him as a laughing stock.
"I promise that you all will lose your jobs today," Scot remarked, his face expressionless.
Everyone continued laughing at how silly he sounded and continued to humiliate him. He ignored the lashes and urged Jason and the security guards to leave the office and never return.
"Who are you to tell me what I ought to do?" Scot was aggressively pushed by a member of these security crew.
Scot ignored him and repeatedly shook his head.
A coworker stepped towards the receptionist table then asked in a mocking tone. "How can a common cleaner sack me?" everyone burst out laughing loudly at Scot.
They took him for a cleaner, and he just can't wait to show them that the person who they take for a cleaner is more than just a mere cleaner
Jane was embarrassed by Scot.
Jason, on the other hand, continued to make jokes at Scot alongside his co-workers.
"You're a loser, Scot; you don't have a job, a house, or a family," Jason stated as he grinned at Jane.
Jason and Jane were literally finding a whole lot of pleasure in making him their laughing stock and everyone laughed in response to Jason's recent statement.
"How can that be?" A member of the staff asked slowly.
"That's correct! Scot is unable to retain his lady.” Another employee commented as he bend over, slapping his legs and laughing loudly.
Everyone laughed as each of them made a joke of his situation.
Scot could not travel from one location to another without being insulted.
Scot's mood shifted in an instant. Inside, he became increasingly emotional and enraged. He resisted revealing his new identity to the staff but he was having a second thought about it.
'I can't tell them who I am just yet,' Scot's inner whisper to him.
Jane moved towards where Scot was held by the security men, she gave him a look of disgust.
"Scot, stop embarrassing yourself and leave right now!" Jane excalimed to Scot.
Everyone kept talking about Scot like he was nobody; they all saw him as an unhappy impoverished man, but little did they know that he have the power to do anything to them.
"He couldn't make his wife happy in in every way, that's why she moved on to Jason, the capable man" one of the employees said aloud.
The mocking laughter continued and it made Scot was really mad. He managed to release himself from the hold of the security men then dashed towards the direction of the staff and shoved him to the ground. Scot was about to attack the employee on the ground when everyone gathered.
"Get out Scot before I throw you out myself," Jason roared, his face heated.
Scot gave Jason a sarcastic smile while shaking his head.
"You scumbag" Scot spoke so deeply, his voice laced with venom.
He was furious at the notion of everything Jason had done to him.
"When we were in university, you had nothing, so I took care of you as a brother." Scot's eyes were filled with tears.
"Is this how you pay me back?" Scot yelled angrily, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Jason gazed at Scot irritably, as though he were covered in muck. He tightened his belt and approached Scot.
"You're the jerk here," Jason shouted.
"You came here begging for a job, which I gave you, and now you're here saying nonsense," Jason said.
Everyone was staring at Scot and Jason, who were yelling at each other.
"This is like a movie," one of the employees said, smiling.
Scot's rage grew as he gazed at Jason with his head lifted.
Scot shouted, "You gave your own friend a job as a cleaner after I begged you for something better." It seemed almost as if Scot and Jason were going to collide like two fast cars.
"As if that wasn't enough, you took my wife away from me," Scot raged.
Jason burst out laughing as he heard the statement.
"I did not force your wife to leave you. She left because she didn't think you were good enough for her…" before Jason could finish his remark, he was hit hard by Scot's fist. The punch sounded like a bass drum, and everyone in the office was taken aback.
Jason's mouth began to bleed so Scot moved closer to where and held him by the collar.
"I command you to leave this office and never return" Scot said in a demanding tone then Jason pushed him and delivered a punch hard on Scot’s cheek.
As the fight escalated, everyone gathered swiftly and attempted to separate the two men. Jason managed to push Jason away from himself then he commands the security to kick Scot out.
"Get this jerk out of here." Jason spats angrily.
The security guards instantly obeyed the instruction, but Scot fought against them.
"I'm your new boss and you will all regret your actions," Scot yelled as he continued to struggle with the security guards.
Because Scot was resisting, the security guards began to beat him severely. Scot was roughed up, but he refused to give up.
"Oh, Scot," Jane murmured quietly, "Just leave and save yourself the trouble." Jane grew emotional when she saw Scot in his current situation. She begged Jason and the security guards to be gentle with Scot, but they all disregarded her.
Scot continued to resist and yell.
"You will all regret your actions," Scot roared as loud as thunder, his mouth dripping with blood.
The news of what was going on in the reception area had spread across the corporation, including Mr. Donald, who had heard about it.
Jason and the security guards continued to struggle to evict Scot from the company, but Scot resisted. Everyone was merely staring, unaware of Scot’s true identity.
The security guards continued to slap Scot and tell him to leave the premises.
"Leave this place before we kill you here," shouted one of the security guards.
"Leave this place now before we deal with you here," said the second security guard.
Scot refused and remained firm.
As they continued to struggle and drag, a voice from upstairs yelled, "Stop it!"
The senior manager's loud voice grabbed the attention of everyone in the workplace. She dashed down the stairs, breathing heavily like a hound being hunted. Her heels continued to hit each step of the stairway. Her expression indicated that something is amiss and there was trouble. She immediately gets down and walks towards Scot, who was being held roughly by two security guards as if he was a thief."Get your hands off him, you fool," Mrs. Costa screamed at both security guards.Everyone was confused by what was going on. Scot was released by the two security guards and Mrs. Costa cradled Scot and attempted to straighten him out.Mrs. Costa implored, her lips shaking in panic, "I'm sorry sir, I apologize sir."Everyone was stunned. They were all taken aback by the Senior Manager's attitude."What's going on?" one of the staff members inquired. Everyone continued to whisper to themselves. "Why is she calling Scot sir?" Another member of staff murmured.As they watched Mrs. Costa cl
Jane felt horrible about how she mistreated and spoke to Scot, she was overcome with remorse and had no idea how to approach him.After a while, she mustered the confidence to approach Scot and beg forgiveness. As she walked around the workplace, she noticed Scot inside his father's office, with his father seated beside him."What do you want, betrayer?" Scot was enraged at the sight of Jane.Jane promptly knelt in shame, holding Scot's left leg in tears, saying, "I'm sorry, my love, please forgive me." Jane begged, her eyes welling up with tears. Scot displayed no remorse and was unmoved by Jane's sobs."So now I'm your love… did you consider love when you and your mother mistreated me?" Scot yelled angrily. His face was held hate but the pain somehow overcame it. Jane was still on the floor, sobbing like a baby who had been thrashed by his mother. She refused to leave Scot without getting a positive response from him."It was the devil's work… my mother duped me," Jane explained b
Scot walked into a fancy store after leaving his father's workplace. Everyone looked at him oddly as he stepped into the shop because of how harsh he appeared. Scot greets the salesgirl he saw, "Good day ma'am." Scot was given a snide glance by the lady who looked like she didn’t want to attend to him but she came from behind the counter and stood in front of him."You need to leave now sir." She stares disgustingly at him then looked back into his eyes. “We don’t have cheap clothes for homeless people here.” she spat proudly and she felt delighted to be insulting the lady.Scot was irritated by her sudden harsh words to him. She didn’t even know who he was and was already talking in this manner.Scot ignored her harsh words and answered her "I need something that looks good on me." He walked further into the shop and she walked quickly in front of him to stop him from going further.Still baring the odd look, she said "Mr. Man!" She exclaimed in complete disgust. "We don't have a
The bell above the boutique’s entrance chimed as Scot walked in, the sound echoing in the luxurious, marble-floored showroom. His entrance had been less than dignified, his earlier humiliation still fresh in his mind. Despite the situation, he was determined to make a statement, to reclaim a fragment of his shattered self-respect. The store was a sanctuary of high fashion and opulence, with every inch meticulously curated to reflect sophistication. But today, the elegance of the space did little to soothe Scot’s wounded pride. The boutique manager, a middle-aged man with a silver streak in his neatly combed hair, approached Scot with an anxious expression. His suit, though expensive, seemed to constrict with the gravity of the situation. "Mr. Frankenstein," he began, his tone laced with an earnestness that cut through the tension, "I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies for the behavior of my staff earlier. It was entirely unacceptable." Scot looked up, surprised by the manager'
It's already a week in Scot's new found life. Scot sat in his office, the silence of the room broken only by the soft feeling of the air conditioning. His desk was cluttered with papers and documents that seemed to blur together in a chaotic mess. The weight of recent events felt palpable in the air, the betrayal from Jane hanging over him like a dark cloud. As he sifted through the piles of paperwork, his eyes fell on the email from Jane—a request for a meeting. The subject line was stark and simple: "Can We Talk?" He stared at the screen, his mind wrestling with a whirlwind of emotions. Anger, hurt, and confusion intertwined, creating a knot of unresolved feelings. After a long pause, he took a deep breath and clicked the reply button, grudgingly agreeing to meet in his office. Scot’s office, once a symbol of his power and success, now felt like a fortress—a sanctuary where he could shield himself from the chaos Jane had left behind. The walls were lined with awards and certificat
The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon as Scot pulled up to the sprawling estate he now called home. The grandeur of the property, with its manicured lawns and ornate architecture, was a stark contrast to the small, cluttered apartment he had occupied during the turmoil of his marriage. This was not just a change of address; it was a complete transformation of his life. Scot stepped out of his car, feeling a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The weight of recent months had been heavy, but today marked the start of a new chapter. The estate was a gift from his father—a gesture of support and an acknowledgment of Scot’s potential. It was a symbol of the fresh start he so desperately needed. Inside the mansion, the air was filled with the aroma of fresh coffee and pastries. As Scot walked through the grand foyer, he was greeted by Mrs. Palmer, the housekeeper, who had been with the family for years. “Good morning, Mr. Scot,” Mrs. Palmer said with a warm smile, handing
Scot sat in his office, staring at the divorce papers on his desk. The elegant script on the cover page seemed to mock him, a stark reminder of the life he was about to leave behind. The room was silent except for the soft hum of the air conditioning, but the tension was palpable, weighing heavily on his shoulders. He took a deep breath and picked up his pen, his hand trembling slightly as he hovered over the dotted line. For a moment, Scot hesitated. He had spent years building a life with Jane, investing time, energy, and emotion into their marriage. But those days felt like a distant memory now, overshadowed by betrayal and heartache. His mind flashed back to the boutique, to the humiliation he’d felt, to Jane’s cold eyes when she had flaunted her infidelity. The anger that had simmered beneath the surface for so long bubbled up, and with a determined flick of his wrist, he signed his name. It was done. There was no turning back now. As he set the pen down, the door to his offic
Scot’s life had become a balancing act, one that required a precision he wasn’t sure he could maintain. As the divorce proceedings dragged on, the pressure mounted from every direction. The morning sun cast a harsh light through the windows of his office, but the warmth did nothing to alleviate the coldness that had seeped into his life. He sat at his desk, the surface cluttered with stacks of documents—contracts from the company, legal papers from the divorce, and a never-ending stream of emails demanding his attention. Each file was a reminder of the chaos that had become his new normal. With a deep breath, he leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair as he tried to focus on the task at hand. But no matter how hard he tried, his thoughts kept drifting back to Jane. The divorce had brought out a side of her he hadn’t seen before—vindictive, spiteful, and relentless. She had refused to accept the end of their marriage, and her refusal had turned into a campaign of sa
