"Late again? What's your excuse this time?"
Beulucta
I had an emergency at home that's why I was late.
narrows eyes "An emergency, huh? You expect me to believe that? You're always making excuses whenever you're late!
Beulucta
I'm not lying I had an emergency and I didn't make an excuse like you said.
crosses arms "Fine, if you're so sure about your 'emergency,' provide proof. Otherwise, consider yourself warned."
Beulucta
you don’t need proof I’m telling the truth.
snaps "Well, I need something concrete if you want me to believe you! How about a doctor's note or something?
Beulucta
I don’t have time to go to the doctor since they’re closed and I have to go to work.
rolls eyes "Excuses, excuses, excuses! Fine, if you won't provide proof, then I'll have to punish you for being late again." walks towards Beulucta, holding a disciplinary slip
Beulucta
looks at the disciplinary slip
hands the disciplinary slip to Beulucta "You're getting a written warning in your employee file. Consider this a first and last warning. Next time, I won't be so lenient." smirks
Beulucta
thank you for not firing me
grumbles "Don't thank me just yet. This is your last chance, understand? If you're late again, you'll be facing suspension without pay." sighs heavily
Beulucta
nod my head
paces back and forth, muttering to herself "Why can't people just be on time for work? It's not that hard, is it?
Beulucta
watches mayu pace
stops pacing and turns to face Beulucta "And what are you going to do to ensure that you're not late again, huh? Give me a solid plan!"
Beulucta
set an alarm
In the following days, Beulucta sets an early morning alarm and makes a sincere effort to arrive on time, proving their commitment to punctuality and earning Mayu's trust.
Beulucta
gets up earlier and does everything i need to do before going to work
observes Beulucta's improved punctuality with a satisfied nod "Finally, some progress.
Beulucta
yes
smirks "Looks like my punishment worked wonders, doesn't it? Now, let's see if you can keep up this newfound punctuality." crosses arms, looking slightly skeptical
Beulucta
keeps doing my job and arriving on time
approaches Beulucta, a hint of a smile playing on her lips "Well, well, well. Look at you, all punctual and eager to please.
Beulucta
hey I’m glad that I’m doing good
leans in closer, voice dropping to a whisper "You know, Beulucta, I must admit, I never thought you'd take my warnings seriously. But I'm impressed.
Beulucta
of course I take it seriously ma’am
grinning mischievously "Oh, ma'am? Call me Mayu, dear. We're beyond formalities now, aren't we?
Beulucta
right smiles
smirks "Good. Now that we're on a first-name basis, let's cut to the chase, shall we? I've been noticing your dedication lately, Beulucta.
