Athena Point of view
"Why is your knee red, Miss Athena, and why did you change your clothes?" My female colleague inquired. I'm extremely grateful, because I assume this woman is innocent. I'm not confident what I would say if veterans ladies saw me like this.
What the hell? Why would your knee turn red after you came out of the office? Not only that! They saw me sweating!
"Ah." I rubbed my forehead and lowered my skirt. "Hehe. I-I tripped earlier when I entered Mister Travis' office, and his hot coffee splattered all over my clothing." I smiled at her.
Kindly refrain from asking any further questions, please. Several of my colleagues were already staring at me, and the other woman sighed and seemed to be aware of what had occurred earlier. My face was flushed, but I rushed to the restroom to wipe it.
Why is that man so eager for sex? I am a sex addict, but he is the who seems to be like that.
While I was cleaning my body inside the cubicle with the wet tissue, I heard the door open and a talk between two ladies from a department I didn't trust.
"Did you know, there are gossip about Ms. Athen? They say that many have already touched her body! Perhaps Mister Travis fuck her since he is aware of Athena's sexual prowess!" Both of them laughed.
“Yeah right! Have you ever seen her knee?! Isn't it somewhat red? This may be why she got promoted! If I had known that kneeling in front of Mr Travis was the way to advance, I would have done so long ago!" Now, another lady spoke.
I clasped my hand and was speechless. I bit my lip. I am unable to dispute what they say, despite the fact that I am certain that none of them are true.
Ah. I feel I'm about to leave this job.
“Ajios! Whatever Athena attempts to seduce Mr Travis Vuk, he will never fall in love with her! Did you know that Mr. Travis invites a large number of ladies to his condo? Women who are exceptional and even wealthy! I'm certain Athena was taken merely to the hotel, or maybe only to the office!"
When I couldn't control myself any longer, I stepped out of the cubicle and rushed towards them. My heart was beating with wrath. It's not really pleasant to be closer to Travis.
"Are the employees really this way now? Speaking with their boss in the cubicle? Is this why the company pay you?" I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at them.
And the two in front of me suddenly seem flat and without a game plan!
“Why? Everything we say is true! Perhaps you're a part of Mr Vuk's collection and haven't worked as hard for what you have now— "
I struck her violently before she could continue speaking. My hands trembled in response to what she was saying. Who is she to tell me of such matters? Isn't she aware that I've worked diligently for a long time to get to where I am now?
"Why is an empty can so noisy?"
"What did you say?!"
"Stupid!"
I was immediately accosted by two women who simultaneously pulled my hair. I didn't give up and jointly tugged their hair. I was willing to have sex all night and without sleep, and they are just in such a state that all they know is how to gossip. I will not stop until they turn bald.
"If you start believing Mr. Travis likes you just because he brought you to bed, you are mistaken!"
"At the very least, I'll put him to bed; tomorrow. And I will make sure that later, you're out of a job! I'm going to give him a blowjob and tell him that you're talking about us. No one will ever accept you in any company again!"
As a reaction to what I stated, she rapidly released her grip on my hair and developed huge eyes. They opened their lips, but I only widened my smile.
“See you in hell, bitches! This is for both of you." I lifted my hand and extended a dirty finger at them.
I turned away from them and opened the escape door. Everyone is staring at me, maybe because my hair is a disaster. I ignored them, given the fact that a couple of them were blocking my path.
I stormed into Travis's office. I no longer want to be a part of this group. If I remain here, I am certain that I am digging my own tomb.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw his eyes were fierce, maybe because of my smear of lipstick and witch-like hair. I haven't lost my anger yet. Why is this happening to me? The chaos started to happen when Travis started noticing me. I'm at a loss on what to do. It's as though I'm confused and unsure of my direction.
I rushed to the desk he gave me, seemingly unaware that tears were flowing down my eyes. I wiped them, but they refused to let the flow.
"What happened to you?"
I didn't respond and began collecting my stuff. I am resigning from this firm. My name has been tarnished as well, and I can't wait for it to be ruined more.
When he saw that I was gathering my most valuable possessions, he took my hand in his.
"I'm asking. What happened to you? Is it necessary for me to repeat the words to you?"
“It’s all your fault! You are such a jerk about everything! When you want something, you get it! I'm ignorant that I'm already experiencing it! I'm leaving this place!"
“W-what? Hey!" He grabbed my elbow once again and drove me insane with a single touch. Why is my body the way it is?!
I opened my mouth and was about to answer when the door opened and an elegant woman wearing a white dress like a goddess showed up.
This is the sign that I should give up.
