The next morning, a large swath of sunlight fell on the balcony and on Blanca’s body.
The baby in her belly was less than a month old, but I don’t know if there was a magical pull or what, as long as the thought of having a little one in her belly, the corners of Blanca’s mouth couldn’t help but rise up.
When Blanca woke up, Matthew Grant was no longer there. She was worried about Rosanne Butler, rubbed her stomach and was ready to go downstairs, but then the phone suddenly rang.
“Hello?”
“Blanca, you still know how to answer the phone? I thought you were lost to outer space–” As soon as the phone was answered, Peter Murray’s roar came from the other side, and his anger could be felt from a distance.
Blanca’s hand slipped and the phone almost fell on the floor.
Her heart was pounding, Blanca adjusted her thoughts, “I’m sorry, I can’t go to the office for a few days because of a temporary problem at home, but didn’t Matthew Grant give me a leave of absence? Why are you so angry so early in the morning?”
“A leave of absence? You call that a leave of absence?”
Peter Murray got even more angry when he thought about it. Who hired an employee like Blanca? Yesterday morning, Curtis Irwin suddenly came to the office and said right out of the blue that he wanted to give Blanca a leave of absence.
Well, if it’s a leave of absence, it’s a leave of absence.
Peter Murray’s intention is at least to come in person or make a phone call to ask for leave, Curtis Irwin said directly, “Madam is very busy, you better not bother her, of course, if you want to resign Madam is also possible. But be decent and say that you are the one who is picky to dismiss her.”
Fuck you, I guess.
Peter Murray wanted to pick up the tablet on his desk and smash it in Curtis Irwin’s face, but he knew it wasn’t like Curtis Irwin to say that.
This guy wanted Peter Murray to fire Blanca, but he was afraid that Blanca would be angry, so he thought that Peter Murray would offer to fire Blanca.
“So, can you come today?”
“Can’t …”
The first time I heard Peter Murray’s voice seemed to be really angry, Blanca’s heart was also a bit drummed. After all, she is a part-time worker, so it does seem to be a bit unjustified to take time off for three days. But Rosanne Butler is not stable, Blanca can not do a good job.
“Give me a reason.” Peter Murray gritted his teeth.
“Mr. Murray, I really have a hard time, you don’t ask, I’ll definitely make amends in person when I’m done, okay?”
“Am I short of an amends? I want the truth, Blanca, if you think your job is a child’s play, then don’t come! Also, tomorrow is the painting exhibition, I don’t think you have time, so that’s it!”
After saying that, Peter Murray had already hung up the phone.
Listening to the sound of hanging up from the other side of the phone, Blanca suddenly felt like a huge rock in her heart, and it was very hard.
She wanted this job.
Blanca has worked in various jobs before, such as cleaning, courier, dishwasher, she has done it all. When she was working at Empire Group, she imagined herself as a white-collar worker in an office building like others, and she couldn’t say how happy she was.
But then she realized that she didn’t fit in, only painting, which she really loved!
