"Damian, have you heard that the company has been bought by a new owner"
"Of cause I have heard, we are in the same company Jenny"
Damian had been working at his dream job for over a year. This job didn't just come easy he had to fight to get there. It was through his blood sweat and tears but just like that it would all be gone in one day. Due to the change in ownership the new boss wanted everyone to interview again to prove they got there based on skills and not any type of connections.
Damian wasn't at all scared because he had to strain himself to get where he was but the catch was, there was a chance that a person wouldn't go back to the position or the work area they were before. It was like starting from the bottom again.
"Damian, what do you think the interview will be like, will we not have work tomorrow?I can't loose this job"
Damian just stared at the creature beside him panicking. But what could he do, he wasn't sure himself that after the interview would be a success. What if the new boss was one of those, bad tempered rational rich people...
"It's going to be fine, and if it's not, we could cry and move on. You know the saying'there is still more fish in the sea' right"
"But I don't think that works in this situation"
Damian just smiled looking at his best friend in the whole world. He couldn't help but remember the first day they met, they both had come for the interview and it was same as it is now. Jenny was all panicky as she was waiting and she unknowingly held Damian's hand and kept repeating
"It's going to be ok, and if it's not, we can try again. Fighting"
Damian remembered just smiling at the figure besides him, not knowing how to respond but allowed her to hold his hand without annoyance. Damian remembered how embarrassed she was when she noticed she was holding her hand. But the words she said would forever remain in him
"You let me hold your hand today, you shared your calm energy with me and for that if I get in this company you will too and if you don't then I won't either"
Damian untill this day never knew what those words ment. As he walked into the interview room all he could wish for was that they both got in. She had to continue her job.
After the interview,everyone returned to their work station hoping and wishing that that wouldn't be their last day working
Damian happened to be passing through when he has a very shocking conversation
"I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time, isn't this Jennifer the girl you asked to go on a date with you but rejected you" One voice said.
"You are right, look who got no choice but to agree to sleep with me or no work for her"
They were talking about jenny, his best friend Jenny. Damian couldn't hold his anger anymore and bust the door open starling the two men inside
"Damian! What is the meaning of this,"
"Damian if you don't let him go,you will lose your job"
By this time whole office gathered around to see what the commotion was about, and some of them tried to separate Damian who was all over punching the hell out of the manager.
"Damian what are you doing, that's the manager you might loss your job"
"Let me lose it, this bastard wanted to use this opportunity to manipulate you into sleeping with him to keep your job"
Jenny's eyes watered as she saw the anger in Damian's eye.
"Please stop being angry, it's scary and I would never sleep with anyone just to keep my job" Jenny said hold Damian's face, tears dripping down her already red cheeks and seeing this side of Jenny hurt Damian so bad
"Don't worry Jenny, we might lose our jobs today, but we are going to go home get drunk, cry, wake up with a hang over but we are going to be ok,I promise" Damian reassured Jenny and just as they were about to live the atmosphere turned groomy and an unfamiliar yet familiar figure walked into the room
"What's all the commotion all about," With an authoritarian deep and cold voice he asked
"Sir it's all his fault, he came out of no where and started a fight," Manager explained pinning the whole situation on Damian.
"Sir it's true it's all his fault," The assistant manager confirmed...And everyone shifted their gaze to Damian who was holding Jenny assuring her that he would protect her no matter what...
