After suffering from heatstroke, I felt extremely dizzy and hurriedly asked for leave in the company Slack channel. But as soon as I sent it, my colleagues exploded! "It's snowing so hard today, I'm freezing to death, what kind of heatstroke do you have?" "Chloe, everyone is working overtime on the weekend, yet you fake illness to slack off, do you have no shame?" I looked out the window in astonishment. The sun was shining brightly, not a cloud in the sky, where was there any sign of snow? I thought they were joking with me, but soon, my boss Mr. Sterling video called me. He sat in his office, behind him the floor-to-ceiling window showed a vast expanse of white snow, without any trace of special effects. While behind me was a sunny day. "Great Chloe! I wondered how you could get heatstroke in this heavy snow? Turns out you faked illness to play in another city! I announce you didn't pass the probation period, you're fired!" I realized something must be wrong, hurriedly climbed out of bed, wanting to go to the company to check. My condition prevented me from driving, could only take an Uber to the company. But until I was hit and killed by an out-of-control truck, I didn't see a single snowflake! Opening my eyes again, I was reborn to the moment I was about to ask for leave. I suspected people in the company were deliberately deceiving me, kept an eye out, asked in the group: "How is the weather today?" Mr. Sterling immediately @everyone: "Heavy snow, slippery roads, low visibility, everyone be careful on the way..." ... How is this possible? If the boss united with colleagues, wanting to find an excuse to fire me, at least they should deceive me after I proposed asking for leave, right? I was fine at the dinner last night, impossible for them to predict in advance I would have heatstroke. Looking at the cloudless sunny sky outside the window, my already uncomfortable body felt even worse. "Received, thanks Mr. Sterling for reminder, arrived safely at company." "Car stuck halfway, could only find a place to park, need half an hour to walk to company in this heavy snow." "Still me smart, didn't drive..." Colleagues in the group responded one after another, someone even posted photos. In the photo, that Millennium Park I often visit, was completely covered in snow, gloomy sky still fluttering with goose feather-like snowflakes. But in my previous life when I rushed to the company, I didn't see snow at all! Just puzzling what was going on, Mr. Sterling @me in the group: "Chloe, people in your department are all here, when will you arrive?" "Everyone in the company is working overtime for the big project in your hands, get here in 10 minutes, won't fine your money for being late this time." Weekend overtime, indeed because I negotiated a big deal for the company. If I could persist working, I wouldn't have asked for leave in my previous life. Plus the fear of being hit and killed by a car halfway, I dared not rush to the company rashly. But if I still use heatstroke as an excuse to ask for leave, the outcome will definitely be firing. My mom's medical expenses depend entirely on the bonus of this deal, I must keep this job! I pretended not to see the message in the group, put it aside first. Then shook my head, dispelling those messy thoughts in my mind. I am very sure, my city is not snowing! As long as I find solid evidence of no snow, Mr. Sterling and others can't use this absurd excuse to fire me. I hurriedly opened the Weather App on my phone, instantly dumbfounded. App showed my area is having a blizzard, simply ridiculous! Even if the boss has great power, he can't make App data fake, right? But I didn't see a single snowflake! At this time Mr. Sterling's call came directly. I dared not ignore, pretended to just wake up. "Why does your voice sound so hoarse? Chloe, are you feeling unwell?" I can't let the boss find an excuse to fire me, in desperation could only admit first: "Mr. Sterling I'm sick, feeling terrible, can't go to company temporarily." "Sick so serious? Must be didn't pay attention to keep warm and froze." "Then rest well at home, pay attention to stay online, let colleagues contact you, just don't delay project progress." Boss's tone was very easygoing, no meaning of making things difficult. This made me even more confused. Not long after, HR in the group @me: "Mr. Sterling said you are sick, helped you ask for leave. Chloe, provide medical record and video, I help you process leave procedure." I frowned in difficulty. I have heatstroke, this state simply can't go to hospital, where to get medical record? Thought about it, I directly sent a selfie video to the group. "I woke up sick, haven't had time to go to hospital yet." My face was scary white, looked like a patient anyway, should be able to fool through, right? "No." "Chloe, medical record can be supplemented later, but video must show something indicating your location." "I remember we live in the same community, there is a large flower bed downstairs, retake a video on the balcony, capture both you and the flower bed." I immediately climbed out of bed, went to balcony to shoot. But just touching sunlight, I sensed something wrong! My side sunny high, hot to death. If video sent, they didn't see snow, wouldn't they still attack me like in previous life? Are they deliberately making things difficult for me, wanting to find an excuse to fire me? I had doubts originally, my body always healthy, even if weather suddenly warms up, shouldn't heatstroke suddenly. I even suspect they poisoned me, staged this to set me up! Only problem is I'm an intern, boss can fire me directly, I can't defend rights, why would he spend such effort conspiring with whole company to deceive me? HR urged in group again: "Chloe hurry up shoot, I have other things to do." I was dizzy with anger, couldn't help exploding: "I didn't use filter, can't you see from this face I'm sick? Why still want me shoot other things?" "Just because I'm an intern, you deliberately target me?" HR sent a string of question marks. "Chloe what are you saying? Leave procedure is like this, everyone has to follow, what meaning for me to target you?" "You can shoot that flower bed standing on balcony, not difficult, is it because you have ghost in heart so stress response?" Other colleagues started mocking me one after another. "Just came less than two months, negotiated a big deal, feels different from us, wants privilege." "Hehe, was fine at dinner last night, how come suddenly sick can't work?" "We work overtime on weekend tired to death, she as project leader is resting, really interesting." HR's wording became stricter. "Chloe, send video within 5 minutes, otherwise I treat as absenteeism." "Company rule, intern absent once will be fired, forfeit all salary and bonus!" I couldn't help laughing in anger. Came for firing me, didn't even act anymore. Just want video? Good! I shot one directly according to request sent over. Sure enough, just sent video to group, colleagues exploded again. "Chloe, everyone gave up holiday to overtime for you, you fake illness to travel, shameless?" "Our side heavy snow turned into blizzard, your side not a piece of snow, clearly not in same place, are you treating us as fools?" Boss also sent few angry emojis in a row. "Chloe, you so irresponsible?" Previous life I was foolishly deceived by them, dragged sick body to company to verify, resulting in death halfway. This life I retorted directly: "You are treating me as fool!" "Flower bed downstairs shot clearly, I am in my own community. Could it be whole city snowing, only missed my community, and has nearly 90 degrees high temperature?" "You want to fire me, please find a better excuse!" "I already screenshotted all our conversations, I'll post to internet now, none of you can sell company products anymore!" My temper rose, left group chat directly, called best friend for help. After listening to my narration, best friend froze for several seconds before replying: "Chloe, are you sick confused? City is snowing ah, I'm trapped at home, date with boyfriend cancelled." I was instantly struck by lightning. Could my best friend also be bribed? Impossible! My bonus not enough for boss to stage such big play! I hurriedly called my mom. Even if whole world deceives me, my mom won't deceive me. Call just connected, mom said with concern: "Chloe, must wear cotton coat going out today, snow is so heavy, I feel cold at home..." So is it me having problem? Whole city snowing, only I can't see? Absolutely impossible! Previous life when I took taxi to company, driver wore thin shirt, also said no snow, and looked at me like fool, didn't understand why I asked such question. But fact is so weird... I afraid mom worry, perfunctory few words hung up, then asked others I know for verification. Result everyone insisted snowing, including my ex-boyfriend Julian who kept clinging to me like a pervert refusing to let go. I opened Instagram, full screen local people posting snow videos and photos. My whole body gradually cold to bone marrow, back oozing cold sweat, didn't understand what happened exactly. Chapter 1 "Seeing lie of faking illness poked, started playing dead?" "Hehe, simply treating us as fools, even if plan go out play deceive us, at least check weather forecast right?" "She planned quite well, didn't you see that flower bed looks exactly like original community? Estimate spent lot effort finding this community." "Still clamoring hang us on internet, haha, is she angry from shame, anxious mental problem?" Looking at screen full of messages attacking me, I no longer felt angry, bottom of heart burst of deep fear. No one deceived me. In their eyes, I am the one lying! Boss sent a video shot in office to group, colleagues then stopped attacking me. Because boss started getting angry. "Chloe, open your eyes look clearly, except you, everyone in company is working at station." "Snow outside window you can also see clearly." "Given your irresponsible deceptive behavior, I announce you are fired, no need come to company in future!" I tried hard to control trembling fingers, clicked video to look. I contacted AI before, can determine video is real, no AI trace. That means, world in my eyes, and world in their eyes completely different! "Sorry boss, I know wrong." "I didn't go to other city travel, beg you give me another chance, I can rush to company within half an hour!" I don't know where problem appeared. Only chance to clear misunderstanding, keep job, is I rush to company explain face to face. Could it be even if I stay with them, still see completely different picture? I forced myself support dizzy brain and weak sick body, went downstairs with fastest speed. When exiting building door my legs soft, almost fell, a kind aunt supported me. "Little girl, are you okay?" I subconsciously asked: "Auntie, is it snowing?" Auntie immediately let go of me, looked at me weirdly. "Little girl your brain no problem right?" "I hot wearing single layer, how can snow?" My perception no problem! Even if I sick broken brain, really hallucinated, but body feeling won't lie. I clearly can feel scorching sun, flat ground can't step on any snow. Flower bed downstairs also clean. Then where is problem exactly? I and auntie just now, and HR all live in same community. HR certain snowing, but me and auntie didn't see... Weird feeling spread in my heart again. I dizzy head swollen brain, almost supporting wall all way, difficultly walked to community gate, drilled into taxi parked roadside. "Go to Skyline Tower." Half hour drive, felt incomparably long. My sour swollen brain uncomfortable terrible, almost couldn't maintain consciousness, could only hold on enduring torment. "Almost there little girl, 25 dollars, pay first." Driver's voice made me sober a bit, looked up, saw outside window was "Millennium Park". Photo colleague sent in group morning, Millennium Park was already covered by heavy snow. But in my eyes, those big words under sunlight shine, appeared incomparably clear. Suddenly, a crisis feeling emerged in my heart! "Master, watch out for traffic!" Previous life was when near company, I was hit and killed by an out-of-control truck. And this life I set off much later than previous life, logically shouldn't meet that truck, but uneasy feeling in heart grew stronger. "Little girl don't fear, I am old driver for many years." "Road no snow, absolutely won't accident." I irritably wanted remind again, boss phone suddenly called. I hurriedly answered: "Mr. Sterling, I almost at company." Driver supplemented: "One intersection left." Boss voice carried doubt: "One intersection?" "Are you stuck now?" I shook head: "No, not many cars on road." Boss laughed coldly: "Chloe, you still treating me as fool?" "Blizzard getting bigger, half city roads paralyzed! Several streets near company blocked full cars, clients finding us hard move inch, you say not many cars?" Just no ah! I anxious to death, but didn't know how explain. Anxious moment, I saw a familiar big truck rushing straight at us! I immediately shouted out: "Master, step on gas!" This life driver more experienced than previous one, reacted in instant of life death, forcibly accelerated avoided truck impact. Bang!
