Wanted: Purrfect Cat Guy 2 Worst Monday Ever

She has been looking forward to straightening things out with the tax bureau before heading off the work.

It was a regular Monday morning, and she explained her concerns after an officer asked her to have a seat. But what she thought was an error, turned out to be an unexpected nightmare.

She shuddered at the memory of just how awful that day has been. She could still hear the straightforward explanation of the tax officer. His voice was modulated but to her ears, it seems to have echoed all over the hall -- catching the attention of roughly a hundred people inside the bureau.

"No mistake has been made on your tax a.s.sessment. Miss, you owe roughly $15 million in back taxes."

Other people in the room peered at her when they heard how much she owes the government. The girl whom the a.s.sessor spoke to is fairly young – someone who seems to be fresh out of university.

The young lady wore a skirt and a formal blouse and seems to have rushed out of her office. While the girl looked pleasant enough, her clothes were serviceable and unbranded. Hearing how much she owed surprised everyone in the tax bureau.

After a few seconds of shocked silence, the people in the bureau were back to milling around and going on with their business.

"These days, you can never trust a person's appearance," chirped in a business owner waiting for her number to be called.

An old man reading a paper beside her reverted his gaze from the young lady to the woman who just spoke. "Yes, she could be a scammer who tried to pull one over the a.s.sessor."

A lady who received an a.s.sessment for $500 quickly shut her mouth when she heard the a.s.sessor beside her. She stopped in the middle of berating the officer entertaining her when she heard how much the young lady owed in back taxes. She immediately requested for details on how to pay the penalties and graciously thanked the officer, thankful that she only had to pay $500.

Everyone had an opinion on what they just heard. Some pitied the girl who would most likely end up in jail if she can't find enough cash to cover what she owes. Others thought she was just pretending to be pitiful and is doing a lot of illegal dealings on the side.

Mina was too shocked to process everything she heard from the people in the bureau. She took the doc.u.ments the a.s.sessor handed to her with shaking hands. After a deep breath, she glanced at the papers before her. A quick look at the doc.u.ments told her everything she needed to know.

Her grip loosened on the doc.u.ments and papers fell on the ground. As if drenched in cold water, she shot out of her seat and picked up the doc.u.ments scattered all over the floor.

Skylight Corporation. The company Hans created before he disappeared.

Seeing the proof before her, she knew she was doomed. She can't deny her involvement in this company. After all, she signed the papers to establish the business. She trusted that man with everything and she felt the searing pain of betrayal. She hated the man with a pa.s.sion.

Now, there's another reminder of how brutal he can be – leaving her $15 million in debt. She found herself in a daze and without a word she walked out with a bunch of doc.u.ments on her hand.

"HAHAHAHAHA" Mina let out a shaky, hysterical laugh. After leaving the tax bureau, she found herself walking without any direction. She had no idea where she was headed or where she was.

Eventually, she found herself outside her workplace -- the five-star Empire Hotel. She did not feel the tiredness after walking for hours under the scorching sun, but she felt her legs give way and she slumped on the ground. She slumped on the stairs without a care in the world. Oblivious to her surroundings, she buried her face in her arms and let out a wail. Still, no one paid attention to her. People were rus.h.i.+ng in and out of the hotel --it's always a venue for meetings and conferences and even a young woman looking up to the sky as if the heaven dealt her a fatal blow is the least of their worries.

Fear, anger, hysteria, and a strong sense of betrayal hit her all at once. She had been too shocked to say anything while talking to the a.s.sessing officer but after wandering for hours, she finally gripped how dire her situation is. There is no salvation for her.

"$15 million! HAHAHAHA" she cried, laughing like a fool in between. "Here I thought owing my landlady $900 is the end of the world. Now, I owe the government $15 million."

Mina can't help but let out a bitter laugh at how ridiculous things are for her. She's just a regular office worker, barely making ends meet and now she owes more than what she would have earned in this lifetime.

HAHAHAHA, this time her laughter became even louder, and even pa.s.sersby on a rush noticed her. Her blouse was drenched from sweat, her skirt was sideways, and her hair was a mess. She looked insane with her eyes fixed on the burning sun.

Losing all the care in the world, she had no qualms about acting up and bellowed, "So, what if you are the sun? I'll stare at you all I want! Who cares if I get a headache, dying from migraine is so much better!!!!"

As if scared of her crazy act, the sun hid behind the clouds, away from her angry stare.

She bitterly smiled. She felt anger wash through her system. In a few minutes, the once sunny morning turned gloomy and soon enough dark clouds covered the skies.

No longer caring about her surroundings, she yelled while looking at the heavens, " Come! Bring it on? What now? What's next? Rain? Getting struck by lightning? I might as well get toasted to death than work like a dog all my life to pay for someone's sins. I'd rather be an animal!"

After letting out her rage, the frustration washed over her, and she felt her knees growing even weaker. "WAAAAHHHHHH" she wailed.

Just as she let out a scream, raindrops slowly fell. Feeling pathetic about herself she continued to cry. The rain poured harder as her cries became louder.

No longer caring about a thing she sobbed to her heart's content. "That wretched man! How dare he use my name for his illegal dealings."

Who would have thought that ex will use her name for a ghost company, pus.h.i.+ng all the responsibility towards her after he left the country? When she received the letter from the tax bureau, she thought a quick trip to their office will fix everything.

Still swimming in the sea of regret, Mina was oblivious to everything. She was about to let out another cry when she heard a booming voice.

"Move! Woman, Move!"

She looked up to see someone rus.h.i.+ng towards her. Dazed from her outburst it took her a few seconds for the words to register.

"MOVE!"

The alarmed man yelled.

Feeling a sense of danger, she immediately stood up and ran away from the approaching man. The man continued to make his way closer to her and she picked up her speed towards the hotel to seek for help. Without warning, she crashed into something. And in the next second, she heard an explosion.

As everything faded to black, her last thoughts were of how brilliant she was to predict the end of her existence – pouring rain and then getting struck by lightning. Her eyes closed with a ridiculous smile. She was better dead than alive anyway.
