The Termination Clause

I got blacklisted by my boss’s girlfriend.

She screamed at me over the phone.

“You’re his subordinate! A female subordinate! Don’t you have any goddamn boundaries? Hitting on your own boss after hours?”

But the multimillion-dollar contract in my hands was set to expire tomorrow.

When I tried calling back, my number was blocked.

My boss was MIA. No one at the company would answer.

The next morning, my boss, Leo, showed up at my front door, company seal in hand.

I yawned. “Leo, you’re a grown man. Don’t you think you should have some boundaries?”
