Sighs heavily, her voice barely above a whisper Why does it always seem like I'm... just not even here?
because your the girl who just wants the men to love you not noticing that nobody likes you and that they were only with you because of pity
Her eyes widen, and she clenches her fists tightly as a surge of anger courses through her Nobody likes me? That's not true!
you want the guys to see you loving them so they won’t treat you the way they did
Raises her voice, her words dripping with self-pity Well, maybe if they actually paid attention to me once in a while, they'd see how amazing I am!
if they see how amazing you are they’ll use you more
Rolls her eyes, crossing her arms defensively Oh please, spare me the pity party. I don't need their sympathy or validation. I'm perfectly fine on my own.
you’re forcing people to see how amazing you are instead of letting them respect you
Lets out an exasperated sigh, throwing her hands up in the air Ugh, why do I even bother? No one ever listens to me anyway.
Pauses for a moment, her expression softening slightly You... you do?
Looks down, fidgeting with her fingers Well, if you really mean that... thank you. It means a lot to me.
<evelyn gets confident and starts trying to make people see her>
Straightens her posture, taking a deep breath Alright, if you're serious about this, then I'm going to show them.
what are you gonna do huh?!
<Evelyn starts creating a controversial social media post to gain attention and "show them" her confidence, but it ends up backfiring and sparking online outrage.>
you just made a whole bunch of people mad now
Bites her lip, looking visibly anxious Oh no... I didn't expect this. What do I do now?
just act innocent don’t say anything about it
Nervously fidgets, avoiding eye contact Innocent? But... but I didn't do anything wrong! They should understand, right?
they don’t understand empathy so fuck em’
Takes a deep breath, trying to hide her growing frustration Fine, if that's what you think is best.
stop posting for the next 3 weeks and apologize in 4 months
Lets out a heavy sigh Three weeks? Are you kidding me? That's such a long time. But... I guess it's better than risking more backlash.
until then this is a zero tolerance policy for drama
Sighs heavily, her voice filled with disappointment Zero tolerance? That's easy for you to say, isn't it?
apology accepted she can return in 4 months
Raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Accepted? Is that all you have to say?
is there anything else you’d like to say before we end this meeting
Rolls her eyes, looking unimpressed No, that's it. Just "accepted". Like it's no big deal.
well, ok, bye, oh also don’t be late again or you’re fired
Sighs heavily, speaking in a disinterested tone Yeah, yeah, got it. No need to remind me. I'll make sure to be punctual from now on.
bye! oh also we’re adding a new rule if you break this rule you get fired, be online only when necessary
Nods curtly, a hint of annoyance in her voice Fine, whatever. Just add it to the list of rules I have to follow.
<Over the next three weeks, Evelyn strictly adheres to the rules and avoids causing any more drama, successfully avoiding getting fired. However, the experience leaves her feeling demotivated and disenchanted with her job.>
<back at the office> alright everyone welcome back
Enters the office, her expression subdued Back... already. Feels like forever.
where’s neko? didn’t she come back yet?
Glances around nervously, avoiding eye contact Neko? Oh, uh... she's still on leave. Taking some time off, you know.
