Mr. Hill chuckled. He knew Stephen wasn‘t sucking up or exaggerating. He admired Stephen for being true to himself and anyone else and always speaking his mind. “You‘re a great employee, Stephen, one of my best, and I would‘ve hated to lose you, but this company‘s reputation and good name is very important.”
“Don‘t worry, Mr. Hill. I am going to delete my Facebook page right now, and create a new one, and I‘m going to be more careful, too.”
“The person that faxed to me all the proof in your favor promised to make sure that no one can hack any of your internet accounts again, or any other account that you might have.”
“I know who it is. Thank you, again. I‘ll see you tomorrow, Mr. Hill.” Stephen hung up and dialed Sergio‘s home number. At the same time, he was in his laptop, accessing his Facebook page, laptop on the coffee table. He clicked on the link to delete the account. A few minutes later, it was as if the page had never existed. It couldn‘t be found anywhere. Then, Stephen followed the directions to create a brand new page.
Christina was visiting Sergio at this moment, and she would leave in a couple more hours. She and Sergio were engaged to be married, but they were living separately. Christina was still living with her parents and Sergio was living in his own home, the home that he would share with Christina very soon. The phone rang at Sergio‘s house. Christina answered it in the living room. The phone was in Sergio‘s bedroom, but since it was cordless, Sergio had the handset in the living room, and he was busy in the kitchen, almost done preparing dinner. “Residence of Dr. Sergio Snyder, this is Christina Dawson.”
“Hello, Ms. Dawson. How are you doing? This is Stephen Parker. I would like to speak to Dr. Snyder.”
“I‘m doing great, Mr. Parker.” Christina got out of the living room in her power chair and kept going till she arrived at the kitchen. “Dr. Snyder is right here.” Christina handed Sergio the phone and went to the dining room to wait for dinner to be served.
“This is Dr. Snyder.”
“Hello, Dr. Snyder. This is Stephen Parker. I just want to thank you for what you did for me. I also want to thank Sheila, but she doesn‘t want anything to do with me.”
“She doesn‘t even want to be friends?”
“…Not after all that‘s happened between us.”
“She‘ll come around. After all, you became one of the most important men in her life. In fact, she‘s going to have to come back to you.”
“Why?”
“I‘m going to let you see for yourself. Now, you have nothing to thank me for. I just hate injustice, and it appalled me to hear that because of some loser you lost your job, because of something you didn‘t do. Don‘t sweat it. He‘s going to get what‘s coming to him.”
“Oh, I don‘t want him to be punished by life in any way. I just want my job back, and I already got it, so I‘m happy.”
“Well, it‘s not up to you. When someone does something as horrible as what this man did to you, he or she has to pay. He‘ll be hit where it hurts him the most and he‘ll know better not to hurt people for no reason again.”
Sure enough, Cameron, the man that caused Stephen to be fired by hacking his Facebook account and talking nonsense about their boss, he got home after a long day of work. His wife was waiting for him in the living room. She‘d just found out that Cameron was having an affair with her cousin. Cameron ended the illicit relationship three days before, but the damage was
