Office hatred?

Chapter one

 I walked into work with nothing but positive thinking. Today was a regular day and I was kind of ready for it to end so I could hang out with my handsome fiance. I've been working in the Kim industry for about five years. It still blows my mind how I've been here so long and still haven't made any friends at all. I just keep to myself since the people here are quite obnoxious. The biggest reason they're like that with me specifically is because I'm going to be marrying Director Kim's son.

Director Kim is everyone's boss as you might have guessed by her name. Everyone here thinks the reason my ideas get heard is because of favoritism. I should probably explain what our company does. Well give promotion, make shows, and go over contracts for musicians. I have worked here so long before meeting June, my soon to be husband. That sounds so cheesy but I truly believe it was meant to be. Since I have been working here so long I'm waiting for the day I become the manager of this company. But there is one person that is in the way of my dreams. His name is James Bleu, he started working here after two years of me being here. He was so kind to everyone and giving and then when he met me his entire demeanor changed. It was quite scary but I just didn't understand. 

Was i not polite enough? Did I not laugh enough at his jokes? Later I found out that all the employees said how I'm the favorite and that he needs to watch his back. I wasn't that bad was I? Well I was super passionate about my job since my parents wanted me to do the same as them which was become a psychologist professor and the only reason was because they did it for all there lives they basically wanted to continue the legacy. My sister continued that plastic dream of there's. I haven't spoken to my parents in maybe three years because i finally got the courage to come out to them as bisexual. They began to tell me that the job exposed to those "sinful" thoughts. I was so mad about their response and I tried to hold back from speaking without logic. They told me to never speak to them again because firstly I didn't have the job and secondly I was greedy to like more than one gender. 

I don't know why but when James came to the company I felt like I would make a friend and have a clean slate. I was a people pleaser it was a horrible trait of mine. I did so much to make James like me. I would help with all his documents and talk to him when he would ask someone else and they wouldn't know the answer. One day he finally told me and I quote to "leave him the hell alone before he gets me fired." With those comments I normally felt anger but I felt something I couldn't describe. Growing up I was the youngest and was always told that I was the most annoying child and that I needed to grow up and when James spoke with such a harsh tone I felt like that little girl. The tears i held that day must've filled a million water bottles. As dumb as it sounds. From that day on I felt only anger and hatred towards James with no remorse. 

Present day:

"How's the 5 year-long engagement going?" said James with a condescending tone

"Haha, very funny. It's going well no bumpy roads unlike your career." I stated sarcastically. Even though I hated him I would try not to be too mean. Again another bad trait of mine where I treated everyone better then they treated me.

He laughed like always anytime he came to my desk telling me jokes about how pathetic I was and anytime I would respond back with barely a comeback all he did was laugh. Not a small fake laugh or one you did when the joke was kind of funny but not enough to die laughing at. James laughed with the biggest smile and honestly it was cute. Wait no it wasn't cute it was idiotic and unprofessional. 

 "Wow, funny coming from someone who is only working here because she's getting married to Kim's director's son. It must be nice being the favorite." I hated when people would say I only have this position for that reason I've been working here before even knowing June. I rolled my eyes about to say another smart remark but seeing James with that idiotic smile made me madder than anything. I needed to just ignore him and keep working to show him that I was much more worthy than who I was getting married to.

The day was almost ending and we all had to have our usual board meetings. They were torture since I wasn't exactly friends with anybody. The only person that would sit next to me was Rodrick. Gosh he was such a sweetheart with me and everyone and people kind of took advantage of him but I would try to defend him. He was my only friend even if we barely saw each since we worked in completely different areas of the company.

I sat down, tired of working and just wanting to lay down in my bed. I noticed that Rodrick was nowhere to be found and that kind of made me sad since he was the only person I could talk to.I kept looking then felt someone sit next to me. I turned my head quickly to see if it was my dear friend.

Nope it wasn't it was just James and he had that idiotic smile again.

He began speaking, "Ready to lose your job to this guy." He pointed both his thumbs to himself. Wow I've never cringed at someone so much. James was such a corny person it made me want to die of embarrassment for him.

"I don't really think I would lose my job to a person as idiotic as you but we'll see." I said with a light smile on my face. It was something that I never had when speaking to James since he always hurt my feelings little by little. Today he was extra nice, well not too much but you get it. 

Director Kim finally walked in but not with her usual big smile. Kim was a person I cared about a lot because she was there when my parents told me to not talk to them ever again. She held me in her arms saying that she would take their job and become my new mother. I never felt that love ever. I was empty with no one to care about just one person who I barely talked to anymore.

Director Kim starts walking towards me with a stern look on her face. I was scared to say the least but I tried to keep my composure and look tough. I felt breathing in my ear which made me feel tingles all over my body.

"Looks like mommy's mad at you." James spoke again with that smile I could hear without seeing. He backed away laughing like always.

"Why is my son telling me he wants to break off the engagement Y/N?" Director Kim spoke in a hushed tone but with much anger. What? Break off the what? That small smile I had was gone. I was ready to cry. Run away and not let anyone see me ever again. June was the love of my life. He was the only person I took seriously. He was the one that made me feel real feelings, not just butterflies but he made me feel at home. His laughter healed more than anything with him. I became this cheesy cringy person, talking about him as if he was from a book. It blew my mind every day when he woke up next to me. The next words she said broke me even more...
