This is your last chance!!!

Laura

I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing incessantly on my nightstand. Groaning, I reached for it, squinting at the screen. My heart immediately dropped. Ten missed calls and six unread messages from Jake.

"Where the hell are you?"

"I've been here over an hour and still no sign of you!"

"Would you like to be fired?!"

"Be at the office in twenty minutes. Meeting is in thirty. The file is with you, and if I lose this contract because of you, best believe what's coming for you will be hard'"

Oh no… oh no… oh no!!!

I exclaimed as I quickly shot up from bed, my eyes widening in horror as I read the next few messages.

"Laura, if you're not here before I leave, you're fired."

"Don't test me. This is your last warning." 

Panic surged through me as I read each word. It sounded exactly in his husky harsh tone and if I know him well which I think I do, then I was in for a long thing.
