Chapter 30 Chaos
“Do you want to see it?” Brother Nate asks gently, trying not to hurt me. There’s a hesitation in his face whether to show it to me or they will keep it to themselves.
Kyran, get the phone and he gave it back to the owner.
“You are wasting my time. Are you here to talk about her marriage or are we going to discuss your investment?” My boss asks them, he looks bored and not interested in what's going on.
“You must be thankful, Saltzman convinced us to invest in your shitty company.” Kyran, answered sharply.
He downgraded this company, that much.. I sense in his voice that he just got forced to come here.
I felt my hair go up when Kyran talked.
“You can pull it anytime.” My boss said boastful.
“Yeah. I will pull my shares.” The other man said it.
“It’s not my loss to lose you, Acardi.” My boss emphasized it. That man didn’t affect what my boss had said, he just smirked and continued to play at the ballpen in front of him.
“You can now leave this room.” My boss looks at me obliquely.
“She won’t go.” I am about to stand up when brother Nate stops me. “She is part of this meeting and one of your investors.”
“You are here to discuss it with Saltzman, we don't need her here.”
“We are not with him 24/7 and besides, they are living under the same roof, so it's convenient that she is here. We don't have enough time to explain it to Saltzman.” Kyran answered.
“Okay, I will explain it to him.” My boss suggested it.
“Okay, we will leave now. You wasted our time. It’s not worth it to invest in your shitty company." They all stood up and I saw my boss clenched his fist.
They are just playing and being forced to be here, I sense it.
“It's not my loss, I still have my big investor.”
“Okay, is that so, we will go now.” Kyran said as if it's nothing.
Nate is emotionless.
Nate, got near me and held my arm to stand me up and they dragged me out of this room. Kyran fixed his coat and we left it like we were in a drama.
Everything is in slow motion.
In the door of this room their secretary approaches them.
“Sir, should I schedule your meeting with the board members of JC incorporation?” Kyran's secretary asked him, when she saw us, “and the company called, your wife is waiting for you at your office.” They are so fast to vamoose while their secretaries are in the back of us and reporting.
Secretary must be inside that meeting room, why are they waiting outside?
“Selene, you should resign now. This company is about to go bankrupt, better to transfer to your husband's company.” Brother Nate informed me.
I don't want to transfer, I am comfortable here and I used to work here, I don't have any problem with my salary.
“Informed the JC incorporation that I won't attend the meeting later. I will see my wife.” I heard Kyran answer, I am in the middle of these three rich men and they smell so expensive. Kyran smells like a mint.
“You have your family company, what don’t you help your husband manage it?” Kyran, shifted his attention to us and his eyebrow frowned.
They are asking me questions again. Working in another company and being a simple employee is better than being a boss. I don't like to face different meetings everyday and think about how to solve big problems. The intensity and pressure is just low.
I bit my lower. “I will help him in the future. I just need a lot of experience and knowledge.” I answered.
Kyran rolled his eyes. “Tell your husband to train you instead of doing illegal things.” I look at Kyran when he says something. His voice is being lowered every single word he is spitting.
Nate nudged at him. I look at them suspiciously, they are not telling me something. They are like hiding something from me.
Why does Kier suddenly leave the country? I get my phone in the pocket and look at it. he still hasn't texting or calling me.
They stop walking. “You better resign before your husband takes action to get you.” Nate advised me and messy with my hair. “We gotta go, I still have to attend a party and launch meeting.” He said. “Take care of yourself here, sister.” I just nod at brother Nate.
“I will go to my company. My wife is waiting for me there.” brother Kyran just nodded at Kyran.
My heart is heavy that they will go, I am not seeing them everyday, it's just when there's a celebration and occasion. I hope my brother Nate will visit us in the house. I am just alone at our house with the drivers and security guard.
I don't know when he is coming home.
“Bye!” They bid their goodbyes before they got in their cars. I wavered my hand at him.
I smiled bitterly. I want to go home and sleep or lay in my bed.
I sighed.
I go back to my department and a scene welcomes me.
“You are stupid bitch who acted like a manager!”
“And how about you? You gave yourself to our boss so he will promote you!” Lufita said furiously and
I gasped when Lufita punched Nina in the stomach. That was so hard and hurtful.
Everyone is trying to stop them and the whole mess is so easy, they are pushing each other trying to get from their holds.
Lufita's friends back up and they are raging mad.
They finally got separated from each other when two parties separated them, they are holding the two tightly trying not to let them go from their holds.
They are glaring at each other.
My knees are getting weaker in this scenario.
Their hair is both messy and I saw scratches on Lufita's face.
IT’s been 5 hours since they calmed themselves and the accident was heard from above and we didn't notice that the accounting department was looking at them when they were fighting.
20 minutes more and where are going home. Works are done.
“You stupid bitch!” Lufita yelled at me. “Why are you so stupid, huh? This is not the coffee that I ask you! I said ``creamy and black!” I bowed my head when she yelled at me again.
“I-Ill just change it.” I stammered in fear.
She is turning his madness on him, it feels like she is mad at me for no reason and she wants to eat me alive. I'm just silently doing my job at the corner when she asks me to make her a coffee.
My instinct is right that I shouldn't have said yes.
I am not an assistant here but she is treating me like her assistant.
My hands are shaking and my knees are still getting weaker.
“Stupid!” She Yelled when I accidentally threw the coffee in her bag and the coffee splitted too in her clothes. She glares at me.
"Why you are so fucking stupid?! I always get bad luck when I command you to make me a coffee! How come you got chosen to be the department representative when you are so clumsy and stupid as fuck?!” Her words are so hurtful and tattoo in my soul.
My mom said that I am not stupid and making mistakes are just normal. Just learn from it and never do it twice.
I cleaned her bag but the stain just spread on her white small bag.
She slaps my hand. I flinched in that intensity. “Get out of my sight before I pour out all my wrath on you!” He roared.
She poured out all her wrath on me.
I bow my head while walking to my seat.
“Oh, it's time! I gotta go Jen, are you going over time again?”
I wiped my tears.
Why does she need to be mean? She can talk to me nicely, she shouldn't yell at me that much and embarrass me. Her words are so hurtful.
I am suppressing my tears, I should not be crying for hire, it will just embarrass me more.
Why do you need to embarrass someone when they made a mistake?
Why do you need to throw your wrath at innocent people?
The world is already messed up and in chaos, why don't you do good things for other people? That way, it helps to make the world at least in just a little act.
The throbs of my heart are all pain and embarrassment, I can't show myself anymore in this company. I don't what more face I am gonna show. I embarrassed myself two times today.
It was so hurt, so hurtful.
I am not stupid, I just made a mistake and thats normal. I tried to cheer myself up so I wouldn't cry. I hurriedly fix my things to the person who knows me so well and who will comfort me.
I wiped my cheeks and fixed my things abruptly.
"Oh! My God! What happened?!"
As soon as I saw my comfort person my tears came down like water and I hugged her tightly.
It hurts.
It's so heavy in my heart if I didn't release it now.
