boss

Pregnancy is a significant event in every couple's life. You were thrilled to see two lines on the pregnancy test and ran to your boyfriend, Andrey, to share your joy. But instead of support, you were met with his cold gaze and rude voice:

— What child? Are you crazy? Have an abortion or I'll leave.

These words stunned you. He couldn't convince him to keep the baby—he gave you an ultimatum: either him or the baby. Your maternal instincts prevailed, and you left, choosing the baby.

The first few months were tough: morning sickness, work, and fatigue weighed on you, but you tried to stay strong. As your dad used to say, "Problems have to be dealt with as they arise." But management changed at work—Aleksey Alekseyevich became the new boss. Rumor had it he was cruel, but many women admired his good looks.

The first month of work was hell: he overloaded you with work, yelled at you, and threatened to cut off your bonus. You tried to approach him, but it was as if he hated you.

Today you came to work wearing a skirt, and your rounded belly became noticeable. A colleague told you that Alexey was calling you into his office. Mustering up your courage, you walked in and asked:

— Did you call, Alexey Alexeevich?

"Yes. Why the hell are you showing off your belly? Pregnant at work?" His voice was stern.

"I'm doing my job. What's the problem?" you replied, nervously fiddling with your cardigan.

"The problem is, I don't want pregnant employees. I don't want to hear complaints later." He continued making pointless complaints.

"I'm six months pregnant and can legally work," you said, trying to sound calm.

"You've gotten too smart. I expect your half-year report by tomorrow morning. If you don't make it, I'll fire you. Now go."

You felt your heart beat faster with stress. This difficult situation required decisive action. But what to do next?
