Author's Notes: I'm so very sorry about chapter two. There were simply too many flaws!
Chapter Three
Cagalli wished that a hole in the floor would open for her to escape. Never had she prepared for this to come nor had she thought about it before. Yet it came so soon just like a tidal wave.
'You are fired.'
The three words hit her like three mighty punches. It continuously replayed in her mind, causing pain to her heart.
Her future, her chance to get promoted, her dreams, all shattered into uncountable pieces before her. It was as if she was standing in front of a mirror, looking at her reflection. Then suddenly the mirror cracked and broke. Her reflection disappeared, her hopes shattered.Words could not express her grief. However, deep down within her, a 'volcano' was about to erupt.
She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.
"SO BE IT!" she fought back against her sadness. She focused all her energy in her right fist, and punched her ex-boss at the abdomen. Her blow was so strong that it sent him falling backwards. His blood was spitted at Cagalli's face due to her powerful blow. He covered his injured abdomen with his hands and winced in pain, andlooked up at his ex-employee.
Cagalli's eyes darkened into amber. Her lips curled in disgustat the feeling of her ex-boss's blood on her face. However, she could not be bothered to wipe away the blood. She looked down at him and silently pitied at his weak form.
"And that's for firing me!" She turned and held her identification card against the security machine. The machine beeped and Cagalli entered the office. The door closed with a hard slam, causing the floors to shake.
Upon hearing the sudden slam of the door, everyone immediately halt fromtheir work and looked towards the office entrance. There appeared Cagalli. There were fresh red blood stains on her face and her facial expression was terrifying. Everyone was gasped. Somealmost dropped their cup coffee. As Cagalli made her way to her desk, the workers in her way quickly gave way to her, making sure that they were at least a metre away from her, for they were in fear at the sight of her angry mood.
Cagalli packed her belonging sat her desk, mainly consisting of her stationaries. She throwed it all in a box and left behind all the work documents, leaving it to someone else who would clear it up for her. All eyes were set on the angry blond as she exited the office, carrying a box filled with her personal belongings.
"It's past three minutes! Some service this place has..." said the Young Master. Suddenly, he spotted a blond-haired lady descending at the elevator, clutching a brown box. He immediately recognised her as Cagalli, the unmoraled citizen.
As she walked towards the exit of the building, He saw the blood stains on her face, as well as her angry expression.
She really did got fired didn't she? Hah. But why are there blood stains on her face? he wonderd with deep frown.
Yzak had seen Cagalli walk out of the office with a box in her hand. She had threw him her identification card, and headed towards the elevator. She did not say anything. Not even a farewell. He regretted firing her.
The fact that the chairman's son who was still waiting to be served suddenly hit him. He hurriedly hauled out his mobile and called for the counter.
"Good morning! Z and A Motors here! How may I help you?" said the cheerful lady from the counter. "Ramius! Hurry get Mia Campbell to attend to a blue-haired young man whose name Athurn. He's sitting at the waiting area with his butler. This is very urgent so hurry or I'll fire you!" came the harsh reply of her boss. "Understood Sir!" Ramius was taken aback by the sudden emergency call.
She put down the receiver and immediately dialed Mia Campbell's contact number. After several rings the opposite finally answered, "Hello?.. Miss Campbell! The boss wants you to attend to a customer, Mr Athrun, right now. He's at the waiting area. He also said that it's urgent and important, so please hurry Miss Campbell ...Athrun? Oh my gosh! It's the chairman's son! I'm on my way Ramiu-" the line went off.
A tall slim lady with long flowy pink hair approached towards the men.
"Mr Zala! What a delight to have you as my customer! I'm Mia Campbell, your attendant for today. Now, would you please follow me to the exhibition hall?" said the overjoyed Mia upon seeing her long worshipped idol, face to face.
Lacus? Why is she here? She's not even a car promoter! And her hair clip and ... their different! But she claims herself as Mia Campbell...thought Athrun. None the less, he got up and followed his attendant to the exhibition hall. Mia clung onto his arm like leech as she directed him to the hall.
"Get your paws of me Miss" Athrun scowled. Mia retreated her arms from him obediently, making a sad sound in a throat. How sluty.
The Exhibition Hall
"So Athrun, which of our cars would you like to see?" Mia questioned seductively. Athrun almost went mad when Mia called him by his first name, but he managed to hold back his temper, "Your latest convertible model." he replied.
As expected thought Mia. She brought the two men to the convertibles section. The latest model of the convertible was placed on a black platform with a sign beside it stating all its features.
"Presenting to you our latest convertible! It holds up to a maximum of five passengers. This model has six airbags stored in different locations around the car, more than the other models. We ensure that you'll always have a smooth ride with this baby. The engines are doesn't make much sound, so you'll definitely enjoy more peace. Plus, it's an all new two thousand and four hundred engine capacity. The colours available are black and red. But I'll suppose you tochoose black to follow the trend. It can ride up to a speed faster than all other normal cars. It also has a mini-television installed so that you can have entertainment while you stop at a pertol station. What's even more new is the small snacks corner installed near the driver's seat. You can store your favourtietidbits and beverages in it. I'm sure it'll bring you much convenience. Any questions ok please?" Mia explained the features and highlights of the convertible in a breath while trying to make it sound more seductive.
"Yes I have a question Miss Campbell."
"Well then, shoot it"
"Is it all right if I can pay you the full cost of the car now plus extra money to get my car by tomorrow?" he ended with a light smile.
"Sur-Sure! I'll arrange everything to meet your needs Athrun!" Mia was a little startled by her customer's question, fortunately she replied without much hesitation.
"Then thank you, I'm taking my leave now Miss" Athrun and his butler turned their backs to Mia and left, leaving Mia behind, not giving her a chance to get his contact number.
Meanwhile...
Cagalli walked homewards. Even though the box which she was carrying blocked most of the view of her path, she walked at a fast pace, confident that no more accidents would occur after so many had happened.
"WAAH!" Cagalli fell. The contents in the box fell out onto the cement pavement. Sadly for her, the weather changed drastically. Dark heavy clouds replaced the white magnolia ones, thunder and lightning began to strike followed by a small drizzle. How ironic.
"I HAD ENOUGH ALREADY GOD! Damn it!" Cagalli cursed loudly. She hugged her knees and started crying.
"Honk! Honk!" an elegan twhite limousine pulled over beside Cagalli.
