Troublesome Decision

"Fired? How could that be? Daisy!"

Daisy, who was busy packing things in her locker into a box, stopped what she was doing when she felt Zoey's tug on her hand. Her reddened eyes glistened with tears, looking like she was trying so hard not to hurt her face.

"I don't know." But the tears finally fell when Daisy answered Zoey's question while shaking her head. "I don't know." And it got so loud that Daisy couldn't control it anymore when she said it for the second time.

"Oh, Daisy..." Zoey, who was very confused by this condition, chose to calm Daisy with her arms. Patting the woman's back while whispering reassuring words, even though she didn't know anything that could have caused her best friend to be framed like this.

Because as Zoey tries to think about it, the only mistake Daisy made was losing her necklace in the ballroom of the party and getting the party to stop. But Zoey was sure that River wanted the party to end last night, and even until the end, the man was still very friendly to her and Daisy. So it was astonishing for Zoey that River suddenly fired Daisy like this.

"Even though I promised the position as director," Zoey regretted. "I'm sorry, Daisy. I'll try to talk to the Boss later. He probably doesn't ignore the words of the woman he wants to make his wife."

In the elevator down to the 1st floor, Daisy stood hugging a box filled with her belongings with a dreamy face. Her mind was blank. She couldn't think of anything because when she tried it, her head hurt. However, the closer the elevator she took to the 1st floor, the more Daisy became afraid of what might be waiting for her.

Daisy has been working at this hotel since three years ago. Her daily routine is to go back and forth from her rental house behind the hotel to this luxurious hotel where she works. Her work can be very tiring and stressful, but she enjoyed the three years at this hotel.

Meet good comrades, be in luxurious places daily, taste delicious food, and get paid properly. And now, when she suddenly lost it all, Daisy didn't know what to do with her life.

"You are really going to make this decision?"

Daisy, who had been walking with her head down, suddenly stopped when she heard a deep voice that made her whole body stiffen. The woman raised her head, and her body became even more frozen as her two eyes met River's sharp eyes.

"I'll ask you one last time," River said. "Are you going to accept my offer or reject it and just leave like this?"

Daisy still didn't know what to do next. But the woman didn't need to think about it and rejected the man's offer again.

"Thanks for the offer, Boss. But I will not change my choice, "said Daisy.

River tightened his lips before opening them and smiled, showing a row of neat teeth at Daisy. "Okay, what can be done. I wish you luck elsewhere."

River, who had been waiting for Daisy in the lobby, looked at Daisy's back, which was getting further away, with a smile still adorning his face. In contrast to Sean, who stood behind him, looking as if he couldn't believe what his boss had done to Daisy.

"You really fired her? Bro, you really are an asshole, you know!" Sean cursed.

River turned to Sean, and the smile on the man's face instantly turned into a smirk as he said, "Take it easy. She will get a much better job than this very soon."

"You sleep? You can really sleep in a situation like this?" asked Zoey when she came to Daisy's rental house and found a woman sleeping. Zoey rushed to Daisy's house after finishing her work at the hotel because she was worried that the woman would be stupid after being abducted suddenly, but instead felt betrayed when she saw the woman sleeping so soundly that her pillow was drenched in saliva.

"I sleep because I think this is all just a dream and will return to normal after I wake up." Daisy said in a hoarse voice.

Daisy then turned her head towards the box containing the items she had previously brought from the hotel. Her eyes immediately became glassy when she saw the object lying on the floor. "But it's still there. So this isn't a dream, is it?"

Zoey took a deep breath when she saw Daisy, who had started crying again. She stretched out her right hand, stroking Daisy's shoulder to comfort her while Daisy sobbed even louder.

"I want to go up to the Boss and scold him for firing his future wife's best friend. But he wasn't in his room when I went to see him earlier. So I'll try to go to him again tomorrow," Zoey said, which immediately made Daisy shake her head at her.

"No, Zoey. Don't do it. That's not going to work," Daisy prevented.

"Why are you being so pessimistic? You don't remember how he came up to me last night and immediately started talking to me because he was attracted to me, huh? He will obey me immediately if I tell him he has to hire you again!" Zoey spoke confidently, which only made Daisy cry even louder.

"That's right. He should just be interested in you. Even though you are dressed beautifully, why is he interested in me?" Daisy wailed, which made Zoey look at her in confusion.

"Interested in whom?" asked Zoey, who couldn't believe her ears for something that didn't make sense.

"To me," Daisy squeaked through sobs.

Zoey opened her mouth, but it took a few seconds before she could ask, "You mean Boss is interested in you?"

Daisy nodded her head. She wiped the tears from her left eye before saying, "He was interested in me and wanted to make me his girlfriend. But because I refused him, he then fired me."

For a few moments, Zoey was silent with her mouth open. She turned her head left and right before pointing at a pillow behind Daisy's body. "Please fetch the pillow," she begged.

Daisy took the pillow and handed it to Zoey. "And now– Aw!"

"You stupid!" Zoey didn't wait for Daisy to finish her sentence before beating the woman immediately. Blindly hitting Daisy with a pillow, regardless of the woman's screams.

"Our boss, who owns billions of dollars and hotels and other businesses, wants you, and you refuse him? Are you stupid? Is there even a brain in your head?" Zoey went berserk while continuing to beat Daisy's body with a pillow.

"Wait a moment– Ah! Zoey!"

"You idiot, Daisy! Why did you turn him down when you could have made me a director if you were his wife?"

Zoey beat Daisy's body brutally until her strength was drained. And Daisy was shocked when she saw Zoey crying and sobbing after being satisfied with beating her.

"Zoey, what are you doing?" Daisy asked worriedly, but Zoey glared fiercely at her.

"You're still asking me why after daring to refuse our boss's offer? You... Oh my God! Why am I not the only one who gets such fortune! Why did You give it to this ungrateful, stupid woman?" Zoey continued to wail and cry. To Daisy's surprise, the woman seemed more frustrated than she had to go through all of this in just one night.

"We can't just be like this, Daisy! You know, God won't change a person's destiny unless that person tries to change her own destiny!" Zoey suddenly got excited and immediately got up from her chair.

Roughly, Zoey wiped away the tears that flooded her face, then looked at Daisy sharply. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief when Zoey said, "Let's meet the Boss right now! Tell him you've changed your mind and are willing to be his girlfriend."
