Khloe POV
The rumors, it was escalating like wildfire. everyone in my office bore holes in the back of my head as I walked down the corridor that led to my office.
Yesterday was all it took to get me into this mess. I was drunk, damnit this never happened to me. I never lost myself at a party with my colleagues so why last night?
"How shameless of her to show her face at work after what she did. some people lack class," I heard my juniors gossip about me and couldn't scold them because of the fear I felt.
I got to my office and thanked God that it was a self-con that could keep me away from others. but I guess I had thought too much because a slap flew across my face and everyone looked at me with disgust in their eyes.
"so you are the whore that seduced my husband?. how dare you manipulate my husband you witch!," an older woman who I knew nothing about yanked my hair and dashed me multiple slaps.
"Now I know how she got to the top. She seduces men and they give her a quick promotion,"
"What a pretentious bitch,"
I was rained with different kinds of insults while the woman beat me up like I was a punching bag. Things were still unclear to me yet I felt guilty like what they said was true.
"Enough with this ruckus, all of you go back to your work. Mrs., you have no right to disturb the working environment. if you don't want me to call security on you then leave peacefully," The head manager of the store I managed reduced me but the next words that escaped his mouth was the biggest blow I had received in my life.
"You are fired manager steel, go to the headquarters and receive your letter of dismissal. the company can't accept people who don't know how to behave," he declared and I knew that everything was over for me.
All my effort was a waste now that I was fired from my job. no one was willing to hear me out, even though I doubted my own words.
my position as a store manager didn't come so easily yet it was taken away without hesitation. I worked night and day, butt-licked, and sweet-talked all officials I had come across just to get this position.
After he said those words, I quietly took my purse and drove down to the headquarters to take my letter. However, my eyes caught the very man who had put me in this mess. He was standing and smiling with his colleagues when he had ruined my life.
