Reunion

On the day of the reunion, there were a lot of people including teachers from every section. I was sitting with my friends, chatting and laughing as we shared our experiences and funny memories.

"Okay, now let's start the program. Welcome to the reunion of batch 2012–2013!" said the host.

"Let's begin with a game. Since all of you have graduated, go to the group with the same job."

Almost everyone in the venue stood up and moved to their respective groups, but my friends and I stayed seated. The host noticed and asked why we hadn’t joined any group. We just laughed and said, “We’re jobless.”

The host was shocked but tried not to show it. While everyone else was talking about their careers, we just sat and listened. Then, one of our old classmates who had transferred out arrived.

“Hey, how are you?” I asked her.

She didn’t get the chance to respond when another classmate rudely spoke up.

“Why are you here?”

I got angry and responded, “Because I invited her. Do you have a problem with that?”

That classmate started throwing offensive questions like, “Who supports you? Who gives you money even though you’re jobless?” I was furious.

I asked her, “Hey, what’s your job again, and what company do you work for?”

“My job is Software developer, and I work at XXXX company,” she replied proudly.

“Don’t do it,” my friend whispered, grabbing my hand.

“I’m not doing anything,” I whispered back with a smirk.

I walked out and called my assistant. “Jason, make Seraphine jobless. She works at XXXX company,” I said angrily.

“Copy, boss,” Jason replied, and the call ended.

Inside the venue, Seraphine received a phone call and told her friends, “It’s my boss. I need to take this maybe it’s good news.”

She stepped outside and answered the call. “Hello boss, do you have something to tell me?”

“You’re fired,” her boss said bluntly.

“Why, boss? I didn’t do anything wrong!” she asked, but the call had already ended.

She returned with mixed emotions and came to our table.

“What did you do?” she asked.

“What??” I replied.

“My boss just fired me. Now I’m jobless,” she said angrily.

“I had nothing to do with that. Didn’t I say earlier that I’m jobless?” I answered.

“But you were the only one who went outside before my boss called.”

“Are you accusing me of something I don’t even know? Am I not allowed to go outside and use the bathroom?”

“You’re lying! The bathroom is that way, but you went the opposite direction!”

“I know someone nearby. I went to their place to pee. I don’t like using public restrooms. You never know if they’re clean.”

“Argh!” she grunted angrily and stormed back to her table.

“Didn’t I tell you not to do it?” my friend asked.

“It’s just the start of my revenge,” I said.

“You’re overreacting. You have no reason to hate her.”

“You’re right,” I admitted.

After the reunion, everyone went home, but my friends and I had an after-party since it had been so long since we last saw each other.

The next morning, I had another idea and called my assistant.

“Jason, tell all the companies to take down their hiring flyers. Leave only our company’s hiring post.”

“Okay, boss.”

Meanwhile, Seraphine was in big trouble. She was jobless and every company she applied told her that the position was already filled. Only one company was still hiring—and after she submitted her resume, they emailed her for an interview.

She went to the interview and got hired quickly after just a few simple questions.

Monday came, the start of her new job. She entered the company and was amazed by its design. A worker assigned to tour her around had already arrived.

“Hello, Miss Seraphine. I’m Terish, and I’ll be giving you the company tour,” the woman said.

“Hi, Miss Terish,” Seraphine replied.

Terish gave her a tour and led her to her department and desk. After she sat down, the owner of the company arrived. All the employees stood up, and Seraphine followed.

She was shocked when she saw who it was... it was Quinn, her former classmate whom she argued with at the reunion.

Quinn walked up to her.

“Didn’t you say you were jobless?” Seraphine asked.

“Yes, I am. I don’t do anything here. I just sit in my office,” I replied with a wicked smile and walked away.

“You’re really a liar!” she shouted. “You fatty!”

I looked back, took off my tuxedo, and revealed my sando, which exposed my muscular body and abs. Everyone was shocked, but I didn’t care. I walked up to her.

“You’re bold to speak to me like that. I’ve changed my mind. I want you to be my assistant. Follow me to my office, now.”
