"You bastard!" The boss yelled, taking the glass of water on the table, and splashing it on Ethan's face.
"Get out! No one wants a pauper like you here." She said, through gritted teeth.
"And no one wants an unreasonable boss like you!" Ethan fired back, angrily as he couldn't let her continue to look down on him. At his words, his boss burst into a peal of hilarious laughter mixed with annoyance.
"You know what, you are fired!" She declared with a wicked look in her eyes. She wanted Ethan to beg her, groveling on the floor, because she knew he had nowhere else to make more money.
"What? You can't fire me! I know my rights!" Ethan said with a firm tone. Though he couldn't keep himself from talking back at his boss, he didn't want to get fired.
"Do you think your rights work here? I own this company and even if you complain to HR, no one will help you. Now, leave before I call the police on you!" The boss ordered with an angry look on her face.
Ethan was boiling in anger knowing this was unfair. He hated his job but needed it. He thought of suing his boss but he had no money. He knew that he would have to beg to get his job back and for a few seconds, he contemplated what to do next.
"Fine!" He said, firmly as he wasn't willing to beg like she thought. Before her eyes, he walked out but deep in his heart, he was pained because it wasn't even his first time being fired from a job due to ridiculous reasons. This time, after the New Year's holiday, his boss asked him to complete a week's worth of work in two days. How the hell was he supposed to do that? He had to confront her and all she said was he should have known better than to come back to the office with a New Year gift.
His boss wanted gifts or some bribe money but he had no money to give. Even if he had it, Ethan would rather spend his money on his girlfriend. At this point, he was used to being fired because one time, he refused to sleep with one of his previous bosses. He could never think of cheating on his girlfriend, so he lost his job in good faith.
Now, all he would do was look for another job but even with this hopeful thinking, he was frustrated. He stormed out of the building, with his clothes wet and a tired face. His whole body ached and he recalled that he didn't even have money for a bus fare home. He gave his money to his girlfriend who demanded it urgently and just at that time, she called.
A smile bloomed on Ethan's face seeing it was Becca calling and swiftly he picked up the call.
"Hello, I..." He was about to tell her he would be home soon as he walked quickly on the sidewalks of the road but she cut him off, rudely.
"Let's break up." Her smooth voice resounded from the other end phone, making him halt his steps.
"What? Why?" Ethan asked, hurriedly as he felt this gripping feeling in his body and his heart rate sped up.
"I'm tired! You are poor and can't even provide my basic needs like I want. You are not enough, Ethan, goodbye." She said and her words were like tiny needles spreading in his heart.
"But..." He wanted to defend himself but she cut him off again.
"Never call me, again!" She declared and in the next second, she disconnected the call, not caring about how he would feel.
Ethan was lost and his body turned weak as the hand holding the phone fell to the side, with the phone falling off.
"Becca..." He said, with so much love mixed with pain as his eyes turned red, and they started to water.
"Why?" He asked, taking a step forward, forgetting his phone and he didn't even know where he was going anymore. His vision was blurry due to unshed tears but all he knew was that he was moving.
"Hey!!!" A loud voice suddenly resounded in the air, causing Ethan to come back to his senses but it was too late. He looked aside to see a truck approaching with the horning sound blaring so loud. However, he couldn't move, and swiftly, he was hit and his body was thrown off, to the side of the road.
Screams of horror echoed on the road as everyone watched Ethan bleeding from all sides. His leg was twisted and there was a bloody gash on the side of his face.
"In this life, I never got to enjoy the sweetest things..." Ethan slowly said, inwardly as his vision started to black out while he was losing blood so fast.
He then continued, "...Not even sex."
