“Our boss crossed someone he shouldn’t have? That’s impossible! I mean, he’s the nicest guy I know, and everyone has nothing but kind words about him. He couldn’t have crossed someone,” said one of the colleagues, wide-eyed.
“Well, that shows how much you know. While I agree our boss is the nicest guy in the world, that means nothing in such a competitive industry as ours. Our competitors had been vehemently wishing for the company’s demise when they saw our business growing bigger…”
“I don’t think it’s our competitors who did it since not one of them could actually do so. Only someone with a lot of
power and resources can bankrupt the company within such a short period…”
‘Are they…talking about Tyler?’ thought Vicky. She could not shake the sinking feeling, even though she had no proof
Tyler did it. After all, Tyler did not seem to want anything to do with her during their last meeting, and they had no contact since then.
Vicky had no idea how Tyler managed to quell the gossip, but after seeing a photo of him and Sheila having dinner in an entertainment magazine, Vicky was happy to find out that what happened between her and him did not seem to have affected his relationship with Sheila.
Tm glad he has nothing to do with me anymore… We’re fated to not be together. There’s no point in trying to repair a relationship as broken as ours,’ thought Vicky. Thus, she decided to chalk down the company’s bankruptcy as a coincidence.
However, she could not do the same when the third company she worked for declared bankruptcy not long after she started her job. Wanting to find out just what happened, Vicky went to find the manager.
“Mister Antwerp, can I ask why the company suddenly went under when just a week ago you were still recruiting new employees? Did the company happen to cross someone powerful?”
Mister Antwerp kept sighing while he packed his things. It was the truth from her since the company had gone under.
“You’re right; we did cross someone we shouldn’t have. For some reason, all the fashion design companies in Stoneford City had been closing down one after another… Even our boss doesn’t understand what we did to incur Tyler Hart’s wrath. It’s not like we run in the same circle as him…”
Vicky felt her breath catch in her throat when she heard Tyler’s name. ‘So it was him! Why is he doing this? Is this his way of punishing me for something I didn’t do?’
Knowing the truth, Vicky dared not apply for any more jobs and decided to give herself a holiday. It was a good thing she still had enough savings to sustain herself for a while.
One day, she went to the supermarket to stock up on her groceries, but when it came time to pay at the checkout, her card would not go through.
“Miss, seems like the bank has canceled your card. Would you like to pay by cash instead?” said the checkout counter person.
‘What? My card has been canceled? What the hell is going on?’ thought Vicky. Fortunately, she brought some cash with her, so she quickly paid the checkout counter lady and went straight to the nearest bank to find out why her card had been canceled.
“Ms. Shaw, our system has detected suspicious activities in your account, so we’ve frozen your account for the time being. We’ll lift the freeze once the system has determined there’s nothing with your account,” said the bank teller apologetically.
“How long would that take?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give a definite time… All I can tell you is the system will automatically lift the freeze after we’ve done a thorough investigation to ascertain the safety of the account.”
