Every day was a normal was always the same for Charlotte Ronald.
She was the accountant of the famous company, Martha Jones fashion ltd.
She went to her office.
"Good morning office." She grinned at the office equipments. This was a very unusual habit she cultivated.
She opened the window and toon in the early morning air.
"Ahh." She grinned.
She walked to the chair and sat on her chair.
"Today is definitely gonna be a long, long day." She chuckled.
Someone came into the office.
"Charlotte?" It was a lady.
She looked up, "Oh hey there Mary, what's up?" She smiled cheerfully.
Mary fiddled with her hands, "Uh... The director would like to see you." She avoided her eyes.
"Is something wrong?" She asked keenly.
"You should come meet the director, she wants to see you right now." She bit her lips.
Charlotte creased her brows, "Okay."
She stood up and followed her out of the office. She followed her to the director's office. She stood outside the door and looked at Mary.
"Wish me luck." She gave Mary a thumbs up.
Mary dropped her gaze and nodded.
"Here we go." She inhaled.
She entered the office and greeted the director, Martha Jones.
She was the most popular and successful dealer on fashion in the city.
"Ma'am, you called me." She said in a polite tone.
She rolled her throne-like chair around and faced her.
"Oh, Charlotte." She said with a blank expression on her face.
She was a bit surprised, Mrs. Martha never greeted her in that manner.
Mrs. Martha sighed deeply, "Come, take a seat." She motioned for her to sit.
She took a seat in front of her.
"Charlotte... You're a very hardworking and very efficient young lady. I love your dedication to your job."
"Thank you ma'am." She blushed.
"But I'm sorry, you can't work with us anymore." She pressed her lips together.
"What? What are you saying ma'am?" She tried to laugh it off.
"I'm serious. You can't work with us."
"So you're firing me? On what grounds if I may ask?"
"You were caught embezzling money from the company's account. It's such a miracle that I am remaing silent. Luckily for us, a savior rescued us from your evil act."
Charlotte felt her heart would burst open any second. Why would she think of something as despicable as that?
"No- No, madam. I'll never... I wouldn't think... Why would I... Why would I..." She was unable to find her words.
"You may come in now." She called out.
A tall sexy lady on a velvet gown came inro the office. She walked with practiced steps towards them.
She stopped at the side of Charlotte, "Hey there Charlotte." She smirked.
Her eyes were red with fury.
"Anne Franklyn here, saved us from the bankruptcy you were about to drive is in." She said calmly.
"No ma'am, I'm sure... this is a ploy! She conspired against me!" She pointed at Anne.
Anne pretended to be shocked, "Gosh, Mrs. Jones, why would I do such a thing? You trust me, don't you?" She smiled slyly.
"Of course, you're a good girl." Martha smiled at her.
Anne had never liked Charlotte from the start. She hated the fact that Charlotte had to be the accountant while she had to be under her keeping the records only.
"Ma'am, believe me when I say, I'm innocent." She fell on her knees crying in tears.
"I'm sorry Charlotte but we can't keep embezzlers in our company, we have to avoid bankruptcy in any way we can." She said firmly.
"Ma'am, I've worked with you for three years. You know me, you know I'll never embezzle the company's account." She cried.
Anne rolled her eyes, "Oh, ma'am, you know three years isn't enough to judge a person in and out. Within those years, a person can have a change of mind." She looked at Martha.
Martha nodded, "Yeah, that's true." She said.
"How could you think of me like this? You know I'd never steal!" She shouted.
"Don't raise your voice at me young lady!" Martha warned.
She felt so helpless, why was this happening to her now? Her heart was twisting with severe pain.
"Ma'am please, I don't wanna lose this job. This is the only means of survival for me." She cried.
Anne smirked, she had always wanted to see her in this state. Seeing her cry gave her so much happiness.
"Please leave my office Charlotte." Martha said.
"You want me to leave?" Charlotte asked surprised.
"Yes, please leave my office. You can go somewhere else and demonstrate your emotional stuff." Martha pointed to the door.
"You can't just ask me to leave!" She yelled.
Martha stood up annoyed, "It's either you leave on your own or I call the security guards to throw you out!"
Charlotte was speechless, never in her life had she been walked out of a place.
She looked at Anne who smirked with a very mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
She stood up slowly, her eyes still on Anne.
"You'll regret this one day Anne." She said and wiped her face.
"You dare threaten someone in my presence?!" Martha yelled.
Charlotte slowly turned around and left the office. Once she was in her office or her ex-office, she collapsed on the floor and cried hard.
She was completely shattered and broken. Where would she start from? This job was her only means of survival. She was the independent type, she never wanted to ask her parents or boyfriend for anything.
She cried till she could cry no more. She sniffled and picked herself up. She went to her desk and started packing her things.
Her tears blurred her vision. She inhaled sharply and continued with what she was doing.
She packed them all in her bag and proceeded to leave the office. She was on her way out when she saw Anne passing by, a smug smile on her face.
"You framed me right?" She asked from behind.
Anne rolled her eyes and stopped. She turned around to face her.
"Yeah, I did. What you gonna do about it?" She smirked.
"You!" She pointed at her, "What did I ever do to you?" She cried.
"Oh sweetie, don't worry yourself. You should rest from all this tedious work. C'mon go enjoy yourself... Jobless!" She laughed out loud.
"You'll regret this Anne, I promise you!" She pointed at her.
Anne cackled and left her standing there.
What was she gonna do?
