The company director fired me in front of everyone. Two hours later, he called and said, “Dress nicely and meet me by the

lake. Don’t tell anyone we’re meeting.” When I arrived, he asked me to take a  photo with him… and the next morning, that

photo was hanging on the  door of his office

When Mr. Wilson said in front of everyone,

“Emily, pack your things. As of today, you no longer work here,”

I just stood there for a few seconds.

The office became so quiet that I could hear the sound of the keyboard from the desk beside me.

“I… may I ask why?” I finally managed to say.

Our director didn’t even look me in the eyes.

He was seventy-eight years old, strict, cold, and extremely private. He had been with the company since before I was even old

enough to go to school.
