Chapter 101

I'm really a loser, right?

Why did I agree with Jess's invitation to go to the restaurant owned by Mike, my best friend's new boyfriend, just because my best friend threatened to call my parents if I didn't comply?

Even though I could turn around to threaten him with my power as his superior, for example by reducing his monthly salary as much as I wanted, moving him from his current position, and assigning him to another branch of my company.

Or more extreme: fire him from my company.

No.

No matter how many times Jess pisses me off that I keep thinking about the last option, in fact, it will only end up in my imagination and will never turn into reality because I never intended to do it seriously.

After all, Jess was the only person who stayed with me after she found out about the reasons behind my fears and the beach from my biological father and stepmother who had cared for me until my stepsister's death years ago.
