What the fuck!

Disbelieved clouded Leo’s mind. His brain raced to process everything that happened.

First, he was stripped off his employment. Secondly, he was falsely accused. Thirdly, he was publicly humiliated and now? He was ordered to grovel!

This was the highest form of injustice.

“Granny Eliza, you are being too mean to Leo.” Selena said meekly, her character worthy of emulations.

Selena’s facade of sympathy made Leo nauseous.

“Kneel now! Or I will have your credit card frozen! And you will be blacklisted!”

What other signs do you want to see? Signs from the stars? It's only a dumb loser that will work as a waiter and dress so shambly like a loser of which,” Macbeth’s gaze travelled down Leo's body in silent assessment.“Obviously he is a loser!” He concluded.Leo gritted his teeth at the insult.

Satisfied by their intense attention to him, Leo proceeded.“Let me introduce myself. My name is Leo and I am representing my wife, Selena in this conference meeting.
