2 fired

Arabella realized that there was danger as soon as the man near the door smirked as she looked at her. Her heart beats very fast when she senses danger.

Meanwhile, Leonard was currently looking for something he would use to smother the mouth of the woman who was already holding the mop and intending to attack her. Not finding what he was looking for, he walked briskly over to Arabella and pinned the emaciated body against the wall.

Arabella winced at the pain in her back which was smashed against the wall. "What exactly are you doing? What a crazy man!" Arabella, who felt she was in danger, opened her mouth to scream for help. All she was thinking about right now was wanting to get out of that place and get away from the man she thought was crazy.

Leonard could already understand Arabella was about to scream. With quick steps, instantly silenced the mouth of the woman he wanted so badly to destroy. "No one will hear you, bitch!" Directing a murderous gaze as he felt emotional when he saw Arabella. Because it always reminds him of his bad luck while rotting in prison for three years.

The incident began when he caught a pickpocket who stole his girlfriend's wallet while on a date in Bali. However, he who pulled out a knife to just threaten, ended up stabbing the criminal's stomach to death and was witnessed by Arabella. The woman who testified in court that she committed the murder.

Arabella winced in pain as her back hit the wall. Before she could finish her scream, Leonard's fingers had covered her lips. She didn't give up at all because her hands with all her might hit every corner of the burly body that locked her to the wall by pressed tightly against her body.

"What exactly does this madman want. How can I ask for help?" Arabella muttered who was currently feeling very frightened. Even the beating of her heart, which was beating faster than usual, indicated that she was currently thinking that her life would soon be over.

Leonard smirked when he saw the frightened face of the woman in his power. It was as if there was a certain satisfaction in making Arabella tremble in fear because of his actions. Using half of his strength, he held back the hand that had hit him earlier, but it felt nothing to him.

With sharp eyes that locked the clear bead that was right in front of him, this time Leonard really wanted to make the woman in front of him feel scared because of his threat.

"I'll never let you go, bitch! You should feel what I've felt for the past three years. This is just the beginning. So just enjoy surprise after surprise from me."

Satisfied with his threat, Leonard let go of Arabella's hand which he had been locking behind the skinny body and also deliberately opened the mouth that had been smothering him.

"Now scream! Tell everyone that I raped you," Leonard threatened, putting his hand on Arabella's neck. "Scream, bitch!"

Arabella kneaded her uniform until it looked very wrinkled because of her actions that found it difficult to breathe when her neck was being strangled by those strong hands. She even tried to save herself by holding the hand of the man who had directed her murderous gaze.

By now, she was already coughing as the grip on her neck had disappeared. Her legs that had been shaking from earlier, because of the effect of fear, made her immediately squat on the floor when she was no longer able to support her body's weight, and her breath was now panting.

Meanwhile Leonard, who was already very satisfied with seeing the fear in the eyes of the woman who was hugging her knees, walked towards the exit and turned the key. Before opening the door, he glanced back.

"Even if you hide in an ant hole, I will find you. So don't think you can get away with me like that." Leonard sarcastically opened the door in front of him.

Without looking back, Leonard's long legs stepped out of the stuffy warehouse which had been making his breathing hard from breathing in the dirty air. Now, he feels very relieved when he can return to the supply of oxygen in his lungs with clean and fresh air.

Meanwhile in the warehouse, Arabella, who was currently feeling very shocked, immediately burst into tears as soon as the man who threatened her had left her. While clutching her chest, her voice, hoarse from the effects of crying, was heard as she lamented her fate.

"What should I do? That man has really gone mad. Even though she himself is the one who did evil by killing people and I accidentally saw him. Who should I ask for help? She really made my life miserable in Jakarta."

With a hoarse voice and trembling body, Arabella who felt very bad luck after meeting a man who looked very resentful to her. Since then, her life has suffered from not being able to work in any company. Because she realized that her name had been blacklisted by every company. Ten companies have rejected it for the same reason, namely that they don't want to get in trouble if they accept it.

Since her testimony, she can only work as a cleaning service in one restaurant or another. Because during the reduction of employees, she had to give up being fired, while her best friend, Mila, had returned home because her parents were betrothed and now lives happily with her husband and one child.

Meanwhile, she who no longer has anyone, still earns a makeshift sustenance to survive. The first time she left, her life was still guaranteed with her savings. However, over time her money ran out and she had to survive by working odd jobs.

A few moments later, Arabella's feelings had calmed down a bit and just as she was about to leave the warehouse, someone's baritone voice caught her ear.

"Arabella!" shouted the man in black uniform who had just stepped into the warehouse and saw that the woman he was looking for was actually there just as his boss had told him to do. "Gosh, Arabella."

Arabella who hastily wiped away the remaining tears that graced her face so as not to be caught that she had just cried.

"Yeah. I was just about to go out after putting the trolley on, but I suddenly felt dizzy. So, I was quiet for a while while massaging my head."

"So, is that so? I thought where did you disappear to. You'd better not push yourself if your body is very weak, Arabella. Now you just go home and rest at home. Sorry, I just wanted to say that you've been fired," said the man with Rudi's name tag.

Arabella seemed to have caught the direction of the conversation from Rudi, because she was used to being in this kind of situation. "So boss has fired me?" A sad smile that looks very forced. "My fate is like the saying 'I have fallen, hit the stairs'."
