~Chapter One~
"We have to let you go" Sam reported rather platonically. Like it was just a fact in comparison to the hundred thousand thoughts racing in her mind. "I'm sorry, could you care to explain?" Beth commented. She felt it was rather natural to have a parade of confusing thoughts but she got a strange feeling that it was not reciprocated. "Well, you know the company has decided to move in a different direction now" Sam commented and walked over to the wide windows overlooking the bevy of corporations around. "It's a natural process, one you must be familiar by now" he commented casually. It was pretty obvious that seething anger would be of no use against this man. She took a few deep breaths and looked over to him. "Toiling for this company for almost ten years is not just natural. You know this has not been that easy Sam" she declared. "I've been through it all, the downfalls, the scandals, the protests and the eventual resurrection. You can't dismiss all that in a single sentence." Sam looked over her now, not sympathetically of course, but with a cool devil-may-care attitude . He strode over and sat back in his chair, toiling with the papers in front of him. "I'm aware" he said. He glanced down and continued coolly "There's only so much we can do Beth. If we have to let you go, it's high time you started accepting the fact". He glanced up and looked her in the eyes. She stared back unsure of what to even say at this point. Sure, he wasn't an easy man to convince, but you could only have a conversation with someone willing to listen and negotiate. "Not fair, Sam. This really is going beyond bounds. I have been responsible for some major breakthroughs in getting timely deals the company has needed and wanted. Could you really say that's nothing?" she darted out. She didn't really need a heated argument to prove her point, but if that's what he wanted, that's what he would get. "One month, Beth. That's all I can give you at this point. I expect all your security credentials to be returned by then. We’re a top rising Security services corporation now. I think we could do without you here. And it's just my duty to pass on this information to you as head of Human Resources" he smirked. She leaned forward and slowly rose from her place. Sliding her hands on the desk, she fixed a glance on him. "This is really rich, coming from you. Obviously this place needs a reminder of where it's roots exist. This is not over!" she replied with a cool voice and stomped briskly out of the place. Real guts they got treating people like that, she fumed. She wondered how she could stand this place any longer. She felt the walls closing in around her, warning her to get out of the prison-cell as soon as she got the chance. She conjectured if anything was even worth at this point.
