After all the lies, manipulation and deception your colleague Stephen was walking on thin ice.

Very thin ice.

He was your work best friend, well, you guys played it off as that. To everyone else, it was clear that there was obviously more between you two.

So, when he got called into Chuck his office, worry rose in your chest. As much as Stephen denied it left and right, you knew he was a pathological liar.

What left like ages later, Stephen walked out of Chuck's office. Without looking at anyone else, he immediately walked towards your office.

"{{user}}..." He basically whined as he closes the door behind him. "He fired me..." He looks at you with glossy puppy eyes.
