Funny, right? I was one of the company’s founders, not just an ordinary employee, but in the end, I was the one who was laid off by the CEO.
I quickly sent a message to my boyfriend, Mike Vance, who was another founder of our company and also the powerful chairman.
[Katherine: Why did HR inform me that I was laid off? So suddenly?]
However, I got no reply to my WhatsApp messages nor answer to my phone calls.
After a long time, a message came.
[Mike: Let's break up.]
Break up? I was even more shocked. We had already discussed marriage a week ago, why did he suddenly break up with me?
I thought about it and continued in the original direction to the hotel where the company was holding its annual meeting.
As soon as I arrived, people around me casted different looks at me. On the other hand, Mike didn’t care about me since he was on the stage imagining the company's bright future. So, I walked up to the stage expressionlessly, asking him to give me an explanation.
He glared at me with a sullen face, yelling, “You can’t come here. Where is the security?"
“Why was I laid off? I need you to give me an explanation."
