“So, you’re firing me because you kissed me in the office and I didn’t kiss you back?”
“First of all, youdefinitelykissed me back. Second of all, no, this really has been a long time coming, and it’s what’s best for you.”
“So, you’re firing me on Christmas Eve?”
“Would you prefer Christmas Day?”
“I would prefer not to get fired at all.”
“You probably should’ve been a better employee, then.” He pauses. “Before November, anyway.”
I wait for him to tell me this is some twisted joke, but he looks dead-ass serious.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Reiss.” I step back. “I appreciate you coming here to personally fire me, minutes after you were trying to fuck me in your office.”
“You’re very welcome, Miss Grey,” he says. “I’d like to finish the rest of our conversation, though.”
“Fuck you.” I step back. “This is the end.”
“Georgia…”
“I’m so glad I never crossed the line with you,” I say. “You would’ve been an even bigger mistake than dating a cheater like Dante.”
He narrows his eyes. “Excuse me?”
“Yeah, that’s exactly it.” I shrug.
I slam the door in his face before he can respond, and I ignore his incessant knocking that comes right after.
I’m not sure why, but his firing me feels far worse than what Dante and Jessica did.

Hours later,I slip into a cab and hold back tears as I add a message to my family’s group chat.
On my way home. Excited to spend Christmas with you all!
Grandma Hattie
We’re excited to see you, too! We’re waiting with bated breath to meet Mr. Dante, too!
Cousin Taryn
I hope he looks as sexy as his name is!
Savannah
Grandma is in this chat, Taryn!
Cousin Taryn
So…We’re only supposed to speculate about sex stuff in our cousin-only group chat? Is that the rule? (Can we discuss whether Georgia’s fiancé is hot or not?)
I don’t havethe heart to tell them I’m coming home alone or have just been fired.
All I know is that I’m done with Utah, the corporate world, and this will be the worst Christmas I ever have in my life.
I fucking promise…
