Clara's POV
The next day, I dragged myself to work as I hardly caught any sleep last night. I kept tossing in bed as I questioned myself why is Sam doing this to me and I couldn't stop seeking for an answer in my head. Was I really that worthless to a guy?
"Hey Clara, so are prepared for your promotion later?" Charmaine asked, poking business into others once again. I slapped my head, "Oh ya.. I completely forgot that today is the promotion ceremony. I'm flattered, but nah.. I don't think I would be getting a promotion today."
Mr Moss has been promising me about a promotion for god knows how many times already but every single time it turned out that all my work has been in vain as he claimed credits from my work behind my back. There was nothing I could do about it even if I questioned the already corrupted system. So I'm not pinning any high hopes on today's promotion ceremony, I've been through enough of emotional roller coaster with this company.
"Let's bring our hands together and congratulate Annie on being promoted to our new marketing manager!" our CEO Mr Smith announced.
I sighed, I would be lying if I said I didn't even have any hopes that it would be me on the promotion. At this moment, I could only surrender to the fate that promotion was only meant for social butterflies and cunning backstabbers in this corrupted company, or maybe promotion just ain't meant for a social moron like me.
I caught a glimpse of Charmaine looking disappointed and feeling sour about Annie, but it's ridiculous for her to even have the hopes on being promoted, after all, she did no work.
At the corner of my eyes, I saw "Dumpling" sneered at me. I bet he must be one of the many reasons why I didn't get my promotion. I'm so sick of being a push-over that bullies get to derive joy from ever since I was a kid.
Unknowingly, tears started streaming down my cheeks. I was taken aback by my own reaction, I quickly wiped them off my face to maintain my composure. I guess subconsciously I was already consumed by self-pity at how pathetic my life is with a cheating boyfriend who ditched me and a job with no prospect that I'm stuck with.
I'm indeed in a hell hole in life, the question is, will it get any worse?
