Burning Love What If I Never Get Over You free download pdf

"Good morning, sir, you called me."

Scot was late for work due to the little misunderstanding he had with his wife, if the neighbors had not pleaded on his behalf, he wouldn't have been able to come to work. He was summoned by his boss immediately he arrived.

"You know what time it is now, right?" his employer asked and he nods his head. His employer looked at him with narrowed eyes "How many times do I have to take more excuses for your tardiness?" he asked.

Scot dropped down on his knees, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he pleads for mercy.

"It wasn't intentional, sir, I had a slight delay on my way," Scot explained.

"Still no reason" his supervisor said in annoyance then dug inside his drawer for a certain brown envelope.

Scot is still asking for mercy on his knees. "Sir, please, I had a misunderstanding with my wife this morning, which caused the delay," Scot explained.

Scot's supervisor rose from his chair and approached him, still holding the envelope in his hand.

"Mr. Scot, can you hear yourself?" he asked, sitting beside Scot on the table. "How can you mix family issues with business?" the boss asked. "You are losing focus, Mr. Scot, and we can no longer tolerate your tardiness."

Scot begged his supervisor in tears, for another chance but I seemed like he already made his decision before Scot arrived.

"I tried, but we no longer require your services, Mr. Scot" he handed Scot the envelope he was holding.

Scot took the envelope with shaky hands but continued to beg for another opportunity.

"Sir, please, I have nowhere else to go and a family to take care of, pardon me sir," Scot cried out in desperation.

Scot's supervisor still had no sympathy for him when he asked him to leave his office and threatened to call security if he refused to leave. With a heavy heart, Scot rose to his feet and walked out of the office with a sad expression on his face.

As he walked out, his coworkers began whispering and making jest of him. The embarrassment was too much for Scot at this point.

He couldn't go home, so he sat on a block chair by the company's entrance and all Scot could think about was how his wife would react if she heard the news, or his bothersome mother-in-law.

The mockery his coworkers made of him, continued to loop in his head, which put Scot deep in thought.

When the gate man noticed that Scot was still around, he approached him and asked that he left the building or he might have to use force. It left Scot with no choice but to stand up and go home and it made him really upset.

'How will my wife react if I tell her this heartbreaking news?' he asked himself as he pounder on his present situation.

When he got home, he was not treated any better than he has always been treated by his wife and in-laws. When they got to know that he was unemployed, the embarrassment intensified. They had visitors and went ahead to openly disgrace him by saying all sort of insults and down-grading words.

"Always knew that nothing good can come out of you, you couldn't even keep a job, why should we respect you?" his mother-in-law mocked and her guest laughed along with his wife.

"I thought you already got rid of him and he is no longer married to your daughter?" one of the guests asked and his mother-in-law eyes him.

Scot could barely look up at them because he felt ashamed of himself due to their taunting words.

"I have actually thought about that but my daughter still has some use for him and till when he becomes totally useless to us, we keep the maid" she laughed and her guest joined her.

The embarrassing words were too much for Scot to handle, so he went up to his room to lie there and think about his life. He didn't want to be mocked again because he can barely afford anything and because he lives with his in-laws but how to get some money to leave was an issue to him so he thought of what he could do for the mean time.

Then it occurred to him, he had a friend who manages a company in town, it gave him a ray of hope that maybe when he goes to meet Jason his friend, then he might get a better position in the company he manages and his in-laws and wife can respect him and stop embarrassing him.

Although, when evening came, he was refused food because he lost his job but since he was assured that he would get a job when he meets his friend, he wasn't bothered anymore.

"They'll respect my new position" he smiled then went off to sleep.

...

Morning came in faster that he thought and he stood up early then put a call through to Jason who told him to come as early as he could come so that they can discuss further. He was in a good mood and was already preparing to go when his wife came outside of the bathroom to see him cheerfully dressing up.

"Jobless man, where are you going?" she inquired.
