Chapter 5

Claiiire: Hey Irene, how did it go yesterday?

ItGirl_97: Ah, terrible. Dentist says it’s a goner.

MKenz: Don’t worry. A few months after the extraction, you can go for an implant.

ItGirl_97: For sure. Don’t know how much they cost though…

Melly;): What the actual fuck!!! Merrick just told me I’m demoted!

Melly;): Me! Demoted!!!

MKenz: What? Why?

ItGirl_97: Seriously?? The fuck?

Melly;): Apparently, someone told him I’ve been changing the dates on fire extinguisher cards without calling to ask for a refill.

Claiiire: Just for this??

Melly;): No. He also mentioned that someone has seen me use our copy machine to print personal materials.

Melly;): Except that I know by “someone” he means none other than our very own Laura! She was the only one in the room other than me. What a pathetic bitch she turned out to be.

Claiiire: I’m not suprised. After we didn’t go to her place, She’s been extra rude/freaky.

MKenz: Melly, what did Merrick tell you exactly?

Melly;): That it’s going to be at least a demotion. As a result he’s cutting a bit off my paycheck too. And if repeated, it could lead to getting fired.

ItGirl_97: Yikes. All this fuss over some extinguishers and copying a couple of papers?

Melly;): Yeah, as if everyone follows all the rules in this office. I haven’t seen those extinguishers out ever since I started working here. Nothing happens in this building!

Claiiire: Yes and all the other departments do this too. Suddenly Merrick aspires to be the exemplary manager.

MKenz: You could say his intentions are good? But he could’ve started with a warning, rather than skipping to demoting poor Melly.

Claiiire: Guys, we can’t let this go. First it’s this, and next you know, that woman is telling every lie she can to Merrick, stabbing us in the back. You know what a jealous bitch she is.

Melly;): I agree, we have to show her she’s messing with the wrong people. She has to pay for this little stunt.

ItGirl_97: What are we thinking?

Claiiire: Not now. I have to finish today’s report, but we’ll come up with something later.
