Apologise!

He....hey are you crying rightt now? I...I didn't mean to make you cry. I...I was just a bit angry today,and....I.......I am sorry,Suzume. But,why are you crying? I mean a boss can scold their employees a bit,right? I mean..I used to scold my employees like this when I was the ceo of Drea,too. Is....is something so wrong with scolding your own employees?" Asked Akihito,in a low voice.

Suzume wiped her tears,glared at Akihito and said"What the hell,do you even mean by that!? You can't...you can't just scold your employee just because you're angry! I don't care about the way,you treated your employees back then. But,right now,I am the only employee you have,and you should know how to respect me! You can't just scold your employees for such small mistakes!

What you said right now,you could have said that politely too,right? I know that being late on the first day of work is embarrassing but still,you should know how to behave! You don't know what your employees are going through,and how stressed they are! Do you know that,some employees even face depression and anxiety because of their bosses and seniors!?"

"Huh? What are you,a philosopher? Why the hell do you think that I can't scold my employees!? A boss has the authority to scold their employees when they are wrong. And,when it comes to anxiety,depression and stress,do you think that bosses and ceos don't face stress and depression? Do you know how it feels when you get thrown out of your own fricking company!?

Do you know how it feels when you reach to hundred and then have to start from zero again,just because of someone's greed!? You know that we are already way behind our schedule,don't you!? You and I have to start the animation today itself! Do you take it as a joke!? Animation,arranging sponsors and then looking for a tv channel which will telecast our animated movie. Do you think,all this can take place in a week!?" Said Akihito,furiously.

"Wh....did you just scold me again!? Why the hell are you scolding me right now!? Can't you just stop arguing with me!? I don't want to work with you,but will have to because of my financial status,but you're making it hard for me to work with you! I told you that I would come early,tomorrow onwards,didn't I!? And when it comes to the animation,I'll do it in a month! The sponsors,everything! And if I do it in a month,you'll have to give me a bonus and apologise to me! You'll have to kneel down and say sorry to me!" Exclaimed Suzume.

"What!? The audacity! Listen,Suzume,you should know how to behave with me! I am your boss! And you should respect me! And when it comes to the challenge,I agree,let's do it. If you complete the animation in a month,then I'll kneel down and say sorry to you. But if you lose,you'll kneel down and apologise to me. Now tell me,are you ready for the challenge?" Asked Akihito,while smiling.

"Yes I am,boss. So,let's start the work,give me the script and I'll start right away." Said Suzume. Akihito took out the script from his drawer and gave it to Suzume. Suzume started doing the animation,as soon as she got the script. Suzume and Akihito worked for 4 hours. It was 2 pm and was time for lunch.

Akihito and Suzume were still angry,so they were not talking to each other. Suzume's thoughts: I am hungry,but I can't have my lunch right now. I don't want to get scolded by Akihito again for having lunch. I don't think he has brought his own lunch box. He'll definitely go to the convenience store nearby,to buy lunch. I'll wait till he goes,and have my lunch as soon as he leaves.

Akihito got up after 10 minutes and wore his jacket. "Hey,Suzume,aren't you going to have lunch today? Don't worry,just eat your lunch,I'll not scold you for slacking off. You don't need to worry so much about me,scolding you." Said Akihito. He then,went outside.

Suzume on the other hand,took out her lunch box,as soon as Akihito went outside. Suzume's thoughts: this looks so sumptuous! I was so hungry since morning! I didn't even get to have my breakfast calmly. Now,I can finally eat calmly,without worrying about Akihito's tantrums.

As soon as Suzume picked up the chopsticks,she saw Akihito coming inside,with a readymade lunch box. He also had a band aid,tied on his right hand. After coming inside,he sat on his chair,opened his lunch box and tried to pick up the chopsticks with his left hand. He tried and tried and tried but he couldn't eat,and the chopsticks kept falling again and again(CLINK,CLANK,CLINK).

Suzume's thoughts: how did he get hurt? He didn't have a band aid,tied on his hand,in the morning. What happened now? Did he get hurt at the convenience store? Hah! I won't ask him,he'll throw tantrums again,I'll just focus on my lunch right now.

Suzume,on the other hand,was getting disturbed by the sound of the chopsticks. "Hah! Stop it! Just stop it! I'll....feed you. You don't need to drop your chopsticks again and again and make so much noise! I am getting disturbed by the sound of these metal chopsticks. So I'll be the bigger person and feed you." Said Suzume,irritatingly.

"What? You'll feed me? Actually no,you dont need to. I'd rather starve to death,then getting fed by you!" Said Akihito. "Bruh,stop with your tantrums,you're a grown ass adult,so why can't you act like one? Just take my help! You worked for 4 hours,that too,continuously! So having your lunch,is necessary for you!" Said Suzume.

Suzume picked up the chopsticks,took a chair and sat in front of Akihito. She then put her and Akihito's lunch box on his table,separately. "First I'll feed you,and then I'll eat my lunch. This will save us a lot of time. And we'll get the chance to finish our work,quickly today!" Said Suzume,excitedly.

"Bruh,do whatever you want to. But feed me quickly,I need to do a lot of work after eating." Said Akihito. Suzume then started feeding Akihito. After 10 minutes,Akihito tasted something unusual. "Wait,why do I taste cherries? This lunch....they said that this is hella spicy,then where did this sweet taste come from!?" Said Akihito.

"Hmm? What do you even mean by that? The food's normal! It looks fine! The expiry date's good too!" Said Suzume. "But I am not lying,I do taste something sweet. Where did this sweet taste even coming from?" Said Akihito. "Bruh,how would I know? You are the one who bought this,aren't you? Then why are you asking me,that why does it taste sweet?" Said Suzume,sarcastically.
