Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 17

HR says I was fired. I take the pink slip without saying anything and walk to the manger's office.

The secretary tells me that someone's in the manager's office and asks me to wait on the sofa.

I've signed a contract with the company so they can't fire me at will. If the manager can't give me a reasonable explanation, I can apply for arbitration.

"Thank you."

Just as I'm thinking, I hear a familiar voice. I look up and see Maisy standing at the door of the office, saying goodbye to the manger.

"Wow, Chelsea?" She sees me.

I get up and force a smile. "Why are you here?"

"Work stuff, of course." She smiles at me evilly and then turns to the manager. "This is Chelsea. We talked about her before."

The manger's not surprised at all. He looks at me and asks, "What are you doing here?"

I don't want to talk about it in front of Maisy, but I have no other choice. Bracing myself, I

speak, "I heard that I was fired..." "Yes. You're fired."

Before I could finish my words, the manager interrupts me.

I force a smile again and ask, "I have been in the company for two years, and I have never done anything wrong. Why would you fire a dedicated employee?"

"It's my suggestion." A shrewd smile appears on Maisy's face. "You think you're dedicated, but I don't see your value to the company."
