“You got that right! He dared to get on Nate’s nerves. Nate’s definitely going to make that guy’s life a living nightmare as long as he’s still here!” added another guy.
“Ballsy to say the least! I’ll screw with him too then!” said a third person.
“By the way guys, I have my eyes set on Bianca, so make sure none of you dare to even make the slightest move on her!” echoed a familiar, arrogant voice.
“Wouldn’t dream of it, Nate!” said everyone else hiding in the washroom. They all then left one by one after throwing their cigarette butts away.
Gerald had been hiding in one of the stalls himself, and he had overheard their entire conversation. The Nate they were talking to was without a doubt, Nathaniel.
It was clear that Nathaniel was the one who had summoned Mr. Murphy to the office earlier. As the vice team leader, he would definitely know about Mina’s habits in the office. After seeing her hand her USB over to Gerald and knowing how much of a hot-tempered woman she was, Nathaniel had used that turn of events as a prime opportunity to humiliate him. What a cunning b*stard that man was!
Though Gerald had heard rumors of employees playing dirty within the workforce, he hadn’t anticipated facing such treatment on the very first day of work. Nathaniel clearly saw Gerald as a love rival now, and wanted him gone as soon as possible.
‘Well two can play at that game. You’re in for quite a show,’ Gerald thought to himself.
Gerald then continued with his day, despite having to deal with the added sour remarks from Mina. Sometime later after running some errands, he returned to the office to find everyone standing at the entrance.
None of them seemed to be planning on leaving. Rather, they seemed to be waiting for someone to pick them up and a few of them were even on their phones. Fay and the chubby guy from his team were waiting there as well.
“What are you guys waiting for?” asked Gerald with a smile.
