The next day, Mike took Lily to Mr. Jones to
apologize. But they didn’t even see Mr. Jones,
they were thrown out on the street.
Mr. Jones’s secretary said they would never
do business with us.
The boss saw this and fired both of them.

I was at work when I got a call from my
landlord. Someone called a locksmith and was
trying to break into my apartment.
I was shocked and asked to go home. Even if
I didn’t have anything of value, I was worried
about my cat.

I got home, and the door was open. The door
lock was broken.
Thankfully, my cat was hiding in my room.
I went inside and saw two familiar faces.
Mike’s mom gave me a look. “Finally! We’ve
been waiting forever! You have no manners!”
“What are you doing here? I broke up with
your son. I already called the cops.”
“The cops?! No cop would deal with this, he’s
your fiance! You should be grateful!” Mike’s
dad hissed.
Last time, Mike and I were about to get
married. That’s why he tried so hard for me to
be a housewife. I didn’t let that happen, I
<
His parents are crazy people. I smirked.
Mike’s mom glared at me. “What are you
laughing about? You need to talk to your boss. You’re going to have to quit your job so
Mike can get it back! If you don’t, we won’t
let you in this house!”
What kind of crazy person says that?
“Are you stupid? The company isn’t mine. The
boss would never listen to me.”
“I don’t care. You need to fix this! It’s your
fault that Mike lost his job!”
“No, ma’am, your son got fired because he
was trying to protect his intern. You should
talk to his new girlfriend about it.”
“Oh, I mean wife!”
When I said that, the two elders had a terrible
expression on their faces. Mike must have
told them he lost his job, but didn’t tell them
why.
No parent wants to see their son lose his job
because of a girl.
I kept pushing it. “He’s so easy to trick. He
always tries to be a hero. And that lost him
his job.”
“Our boss is a nice person. If you beg her,
she might take Mike back.”
I told them what happened. The two were
angrier and angrier. They got up to go find
く
I stopped them. “Can you pay for my door
lock?”
Mike’s dad pointed. “I’m your elder! How can
you ask me for money?”
“We can meet at the police station. My door
lock was expensive. Get ready to go to jail.”
“The police are coming!”
They looked at each other and gave me the
money for the door lock.

They had more important things to do.
The two went to Mike’s place, and Lily
<
Mike’s mom raised her hand and slapped her.
“You little witch! You were the reason my son
lost his job!”
Lily covered her face and looked at the two.
Mike heard the sound and came out. “Mom,
what are you doing! This has nothing to do
with Lily, it was Ashley!”
“Ashley has some responsibility, but this girl
is terrible!”
Mike’s dad said, “We aren’t going to approve
this marriage!”
Mike loved Lily. He wouldn’t be able to break
up with her. “I love Lily! I can find another job!
My wife is one of a kind.”
Mike’s mom still loved her son, so the house
became quiet. “You’re going to have to find
something to do about your job. You worked
with the boss for so long, you can ask her.”
“No way. I’m not asking her. I can find
another job! I am gold, after all.”
