Chapter 3 A Discomforting Job

  • *Hazel*
  • "Thank you so much for rescuing me at least". I thanked as we walked to the cafeteria.
  • "It's nothing, but why were you not in the cafeteria to eat". He asked.
  • "You know your friend, he said I should complete the work before I can eat, I can't take it anymore my stomach is not in a good condition". I replied smiling softly.
  • "Oh I get now, don't you think he will be angry with you he doesn't like it when people violate his orders".
  • "He should just fire me immediately, I haven't worked up to three hours here, I wish he should just fire me". I said rolling my eyes.
  • "I see you are fearless, he chuckled,I think he is a little bit hard on you, I will talk him out'. He said smiling.
  • "I don't want his job anymore". I said with a clenched jaw.
  • "Hey, hey, you are getting angry, if you continue this way I might just turned". He threatened.
  • "Don't you dare". I said walking away, he followed me.
  • At The Cafeteria
  • We walked into the cafeteria, I pointed to an empty space beside the window, he agreed without saying a word. We walked to the space, he pulled out a chair for me when we got there.
  • "That's what a gentleman should do you know". I said with a grinn sitting. He waved at the waiter, he walked up to us.
  • "Good afternoon Mr Jack what will you like to have". He asked stretching the menu to him, I snatched it from him, their glares shifted to me, I care less.
  • He snatched it back, smiling at me, I frowned at him, clenching my fist.
  • "We would love to have fried rice and chicken". He said, he gave him back the menu. "Two plates". He added, the waiter turned to leave.
  • "Excuse me, we need five plates" I said generalizing it.
  • "Five plates". They shouted at once.
  • "Are you not going to get paid for the food unless you want me to get you fired". I said smiling dryly.
  • "I am sorry Ma". He apologized and left, I shot him with bad glares as he walk away.
  • "Seriously, you are gonna eat four plates of food". He in shock.
  • "Five actually". I corrected, beating my fingers together.
  • The waiter dropped the food immediately he got here, I picked up the cutlery, I digged in, devouring the food like an angry lion, he opened his mouth a bit with a shock expression on his face. I ignored. After he was done with the looks he picked up the curtlery to eat, he digged it into the food.
  • "I ordered five plates of food, you can call the waiter to order yours". I said in admit of food in my mouth.
  • He ignored, he waved at the waiter again, he ordered his food.
  • *Mark*
  • I was working on a file, a sound came out of the door, disturbing my work, I looked up to see the person that walks in, it was Jack. I returned my gaze to the laptop before me.
  • He walked closer to the sofa, he sank himself on it. I didn't even spare him a glare, I am still angry at him.
  • "Mark???". He called, I ignored him.
  • "You can't continue to be angry with me, I know how angry you are right now, but she was very hungry, if you see the way she was eating, you will be forced to buy the whole food for her".
  • "Can you please excuse me, you can see I am working". I said knitting my eyes together.
  • "If you keep telling me to go out, then I will call your Mom to inform her that you now have a bride". He teased. I know he wouldn't try to do such...
  • "You won't even dare". I said throwing a squeezed paper at him.
  • "Ouch that hurts". He faked.
  • "I am trying my possible best to avoid her, she can't continue controlling my life like some toddler". I said angrily, thanks to him, I lost interest in what I am doing, I went to join him on the sofa, I can't stay angry at him for long.
  • "But Mark you have to get a bride soon, your parents are not going to take it slightly with you, you know". He said looking concerned.
  • "Yes I know, but I am not ready for a woman that will make life miserable for me". I said rolling my eyes.
  • "But you are going to marry someday, how will you cope then". He queried laughing.
  • "I won't even get married, my parents will have to accept my decision".
  • "I know they will not". He stood up..."I am going to my office". He walked towards the door.
  • "Tell me how she was eating". I asked almost shouting.
  • "You wanna know, I am not ready to tell you". He shouted, slamming the door.
  • "Damn". I cursed underneath.
  • Few weeks later.
  • *Hazel*
  • 9:15pm
  • I alighted from the cab, I paid the cab man, I sluggishly walk down the street, my house was a few block from here, I yawned repeatedly. He made me do so many work before I leave the company, he can't even offer me a ride, what sort of boss is he. He has made my life a living hell, I really regret working with him.
  • I pressed down the door bell, resting on the wall for support, the door opened immediately, as if the person already read my mind, I walked into the house, I slumped on the couch, looking tired as ever.
  • "What happened to you?". Anita asked sitting beside me.
  • "Today was a bad day for me, I feel like strangling out his life now". I said clenching my fist.
  • "Calm Hazel, tell me what happened already". She said eagerly.
  • "I sat up properly". I explained how my day went.
  • "Did he know you from somewhere, why will he pull up such act, he is heartless, imagine, he has being over working you ever since the day you started walking there" She said angrily, looking at me.
  • "You know the guy I told you about the other day, that I slapped, he is the one, I am terribly regretting my actions, had I known he would be my employer then I wouldn't have insulted him". I became sobered.
  • "It wasn't your fault and the deed is done already, you can't time travel back". She advices.
  • "I need to eat and have a great rest, I am very tired right now". I managed to say.
  • "Okay". she said standing up, she went to the dinning table, she brings my food, she drags a spoonful of food closer to my mouth.
  • "No it is not up to that, I can eat by myself". I said snatching the plate of food from her.
