Provocateur
I walked casually into the shop door, several of my former colleagues glanced at me and whispered to each other. Let me guess, what they think.
"That's Jenni, right? What is she doing here?"
"Maybe she's shopping, or revenge maybe!"
"He looks very relaxed, has he got a new job?"
That's right, that's more or less what they say. I couldn't help but smile thinking about what they were whispering to each other. If I could brag, I would like to tell them that now I am working for a very famous construction company, where the office has 30 floors and I heard that the company has several branches in big cities in America, Canada, Europe and several countries. Asia.
"Damn, I don't understand how anyone could be so rich?" I thought.
I went straight to the refrigerator to take three cans of beer and put them in the basket, not forgetting two boxes of my favorite chocolate and honey cereal, two cartons of milk, a carton of orange juice, a packet of white bread and a jar of cherry jam, a bowl of vegetable salad and a bowl of fresh fruit pieces. can't be missed. Five cup ramen to stock up on my dinner, a pack of mint flavored gum, roast beef flavored potato chips, a box of sliced cheese and a pack of bacon. And the last thing that should not be missed is a pack of cigarettes.
"Ok, everything is complete and now I just need to pay at the cashier!" I said as I walked towards the cashier where it looked like there was no queue.
At the checkout, I saw my former manager and one of my most annoying colleagues. They glared at me, looking confused because my attitude was so relaxed and confident.
I put my shopping basket on the cashier's desk while smiling arrogantly. My annoying ex-manager was just silent and refused to look me in the eye. Maybe he felt guilty because he fired a very diligent and good employee like me.
"A cigarette, please!" I asked.
"Wow... Jenni, you bought it, didn't you?"
"No, I just bought food for breakfast. Because I'm very busy now, I don't have time to cook!" I answered. Of course I lied because I never and can't cook.
"Have you got a new job?"
"Ehm... how is that? But you could say that! Ahahaha..."
"Wow... that's great, you've only been fired for three days, but you can immediately get a new job. You're really great!" His words somehow sounded like an insult to me.
"Can you not say that I was fired? Listen Lisa, I wasn't fired, but I resigned! Besides, what's the point of working for a company that can't stand up for its employees who are being bullied? Tch, what a shame! Never mind, you don't need to make small talk again! Please count my purchases because I want to go home immediately and enjoy a can of beer while thinking about the big salary I will get!"
"Tch, how arrogant! I'm sure it won't be long before you get fired before you receive your salary! Hahaha..." He said while giggling. Her witch-like face became even more terrifying.
"What? What did you say? You want to find trouble with me, right? You want to cause trouble?" My emotions were provoked, I immediately jumped onto the cashier's desk and grabbed her hair.
"Kyaaa... crazy woman...! Let me go...!" He shouted while trying to release my grip.
"You trash-mouthed snake woman! You were the one who provoked that damn manager to fire me, right? You insolent bastard...! You'd be better off dead, you bastard...!"
"Kyaaa... help me...!"
"Hey, stop it! Why are you guys fighting?" My annoying ex-manager was even scared to see two women fighting. He is indeed a cowardly man.
"You too, you damn old fart! Who do you think you are? You trash human...!"
My actions became increasingly brutal, I hit and grabbed the two people who had made me miserable. They just screamed, not daring to fight me. Seeing the commotion, supermarket visitors immediately called security officers to break it up.
This is truly the silliest thing I've done in the last few years. Lisa the snake woman was forced to return to her duties as a cashier and count my purchases with a messy appearance. Likewise with the shop manager who put my purchases in plastic bags. The people who had been watching us fight could only stare in confusion when things returned to normal in a short time.
After everything was calculated, I immediately paid for my purchases and before leaving, I took the time to give them a final ultimatum that they would never forget.
"Did you hear that? I'm the leader of the most feared gang in my city, I've been in and out of prison just so you know! If you try anything wrong with me again, then I won't hesitate to shave your heads bald! You understand ?"
