I worked for an employer for 8 months. During that time I received employee discounts etc. on goods (glasses). On one particular item the supplying merchant gifted me a free set of frames. All I was waiting for was the lenses. The lenses came in during a time that I was being quarantined with my toddler son. When I came back the employer fired me( she apparently believed that my two week quarantine, that was proved by the health Dept., was a way of me going to work for someone else which was very much not the case.)

 I never got the product and was never told I could get it. Now the employer is sending me a bill for the full retail price of said product. Do I have to pay?
