Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Sergio gave Shirley a stern look and said, “Shirley, I want to see you in my
office.”
Shirley nodded, concealing any hint of anxiety.
The intern next to Shirley, filled with curiosity, observed Sergio’s retreating figure
and asked Shirley, “Why has he asked you to go there?”
“I don’t know. I'll go and find out,” Shirley replied calmly, masking her uncertainty.
Shirley guessed his request was related to the office romance he'd mentioned
earlier at the meeting. She and Trevor weren't dating, and she wasn't pursuing
him either. However, what happened between them was more serious than just
an office romance.
Sergio entered the office while Shirley followed him. Lowering her head slightly,
she appeared restrained and asked in a hesitant voice, “What did you want to
see me about?”
Sergio settled into his chair, organizing documents as he casually inquired, “Do
you recall the questions I posed during your interview?"
“Yes, I remember you asking about my thoughts on office romances,”
Shirley said in a subdued tone. She felt her palms sweating as nervousness
overcame her, and a wave of regret flooded her mind.
Shirley lamented her carelessness in allowing Trevor to see the bottle on the
table. And she regretted that Sergio had overheard her conversation with the
intern. It must be because of these incidents, she surmised, that he called her to
his office.
Shirley had limited connections within the company, mainly with her colleagues
and group leaders. Apart from the initial intern interview, she had only
encountered Sergio twice during meetings.
“How did you answer me?” Sergio set aside the documents, intertwining his
fingers and resting his elbows on the table with his gaze fixed on Shirley.
Shirley hesitated and cleared her throat. “If I were to work for the company, I
would adhere to the rules and regulations and strive not to make any intentional
mistakes.”
A heavy silence enveloped the office as Shirley finished her words.
Nervously, Shirley held her breath and clutched the hem of her top.
Her gaze remained fixed on her feet, afraid to move or raise her head.
The potential consequences of being fired during her internship at a major
company like the Blakely Group weighed heavily on Shirley. It could impact her
future job search.
In the lingering silence, Shirley's anxiety intensified.

Shirley looked nervous, just like the day when his car narrowly missed her. Her
face was pale, and her whole body was tense.
Sergio smiled. “It seems you have a good memory.”
