The 3 words

​He dismounts his chair and kneels down close to her chair,searches  his coat for the small casket. Then he clears his throat and utters the 3 words. 

She can’t  hear him properly in the sound of the fax machine, she drops her pen  in utter surprise and her face blushes infront of her comrades in the conference  room.
She smiles and notices others through the corner of her eyes. She moves her hand to the small casket slowly.

 He points her lifting the carpet and repeats”You are fired.”
 “Yesterday you dropped the keys of the locker here, today many of its documents and bonds are lost. The sweeper found the keys beneath this carpet at this point” he completes.
Then he opens the casket and shows them the keys.
