Mr Jacobs office
"Quincee the newbie told me you are yet to give her an employment letter why?" Mr Jacobs asked without looking at her
"Well Sir it was not figured yet before you came in so it was a case of emergency. You hate delay and I tried not to cause any delay sir" Quincee said as fast as she could to bail herself from the coming judgement
"Fire her" Jacobs said briefly
"What? But sir she was the only candidate to have the characteristics that was needed for the job and that was a 'drive' for the job" Quincee tried to defend then she realised that Jacob gave her a warning look "My apologies sir I will look into it as soon as possible" Quincee said, gave a short bow and left
Jacobs stood up to go get his coffee and stopped Quincee "Get me coffee Quincee"
"Yes sir right away" Quincee said and walked fastening her pace
Quincee's office, Linda is seen as she still stood there, heads bowed and her hands fixed in front of her laps
"You …..what did you do?" Quincee said as she now feels bad for Linda "You were doing so well what happened?"
"I refused to get coffee for him…it was not included in my job description so I made him understand" Linda had unhidden disgust written on her face
"Wait you what?..." Quincee laughed so loud that made Linda wonder what funny thing she said that made the almighty Quincee laugh so hard "So…Linda you confronted the boss…wow wow Linda I did not know you had it in you"
"Had what in me?"Linda asked with a puzzled look
"Well that aside my dear you are fired" Well Quincee now had her mean look ones again
"Why is that?....you can't just hire and fire me the way you please" Linda said trying not to believe what Quincee just dropped
"Well ma'am I can cause you have no evidence stating you were hired in the first place" Quincee fired this time
"Wow I see… I'll leave then" Linda was disappointed but she had to leave anyway
"Unless I will give you a chance to make it up to the boss by the end of the day.. He is not the lenient type though so it'll take God's mercy and luck for that to happen….let's just say it is the least I could do for you since you made it to this point" Quincee said and cleared her throat, she returned to her seat and resumed her work
"Thank you for this opportunity I will do my best" Linda said all smiles because she had nowhere to go…she knew her landlord would have pushed her property outside by now
"You can start by taking coffee to him" Quincee cut in as Linda turned to leave
"Ma'am about my office…..I don't know if I can get an office now at least?" Linda said sheepishly
"The door next to his is your soon to be office" Quincee said as she adjusted her glasses to fit resting on her nose
"Okay uhh… ma'am?" Linda called
"Goodness Lord have mercy… what is it now Linda?" Quincee thundered
"Where do I get the coffee please?" Linda asked shocked at the way Quincee replied but she was just trying not to make another mistake
"Go ask any of the workers they should be able to answer your bag of questions" Quincee retorted as she heaved a sigh
"Okay ma'am" Linda said and left the Quincee's office
