The strike II

The next day Jesús and his Master Sergio entered Jose's office. He was watering his plants, he is passionate about plants. Jesus was a little embarrassed. He had not liked at all that his boss saw him as a slave. He who was the union representative of the company who always in negotiations with Jose usually came out victorious. The one whom his coworkers adored.

Jose upon seeing them enter, put down the watering can and said to them:

-I was thinking about the conflict we have in the company. I have decided that instead of firing ten people, I will fire five. You Sergio will be one of those who benefit and you will not be fired.

-Nothing of that, either you don't fire anyone or we go on strike-said Jesus.

Jose didn't even look at him, he addressed Sergio and said:

-I already told you yesterday that you don't have your slave very badly trained. Tell him to undress and kneel before the Masters or the whole company will know who their union representative is.

Jesus answered him very angrily:

-What you saw yesterday is my private life and has nothing to do with the company.

-Oh yeah? And what will your coworkers think? Will them knowing that you are Sergio's slave favor you before your coworkers?-Jose said to him with a half smile. He was very clear that he was the one dominating the situation.

Sergio intervened:

-The boss is right. Better that nothing is known. Now obey. Undress and kneel.

Jesus looked at him in disbelief. It couldn't be that Sergio was forcing him to do something so humiliating. He stayed still looking at him and Sergio approached and slapped him.

-What have I told you? Undress!

Jesus was stunned and did what he ordered. He took off his clothes and knelt.

-Good, now you and I will talk-Jose said to Sergio- As I told you, you are not going to be one of the five that I am going to fire; in exchange I want you to give me your slave.

Jesus upon hearing this said:

-Nothing of that...

He couldn't say anything more because he received a kick in the balls from Jose that made him fall to the floor grabbing them and complaining.

-If I don't accept, I understand that I will be one of those fired-said Sergio.

-That's right- Jose answered.

-Agreed, he's yours.

Jesus, who was still on the floor complaining, upon hearing this looked at him in amazement. He couldn't believe that his Master was giving him to another. They had designed a future together. Soon, Jesus would move to live in Sergio's house to live together. And now, that future disappeared.

-Very well, if you give him to me you already lose all kinds of rights over him-Jose said to him.

Sergio nodded, they both shook hands and Sergio left the office. As he left, Jesus with tears in his eyes and lying on the floor looked at him, but Sergio left the office without looking at him.
