Chapter seven- I hate bullies.
He feels his blood boiling in his heart, the veins on his head appears and he clenches his jaw. He puts his leg down, he glares at her with his fists clenched by his sides. He raises his hand and she hides her head in her hands. He sees this and a sneer appears on his face, he ends up punching the wall by his side.
Just then, Tilda looks up at him and glares back at him and she says to him,
"And you are also a coward. If you just hit me, it will be over for us all. I won’t sue you but I will walk out of this place with nothing to pay. And you will also be peaceful in your company."
He smirks and responds to her,
"You think that I will let you walk out of this place with just some beating? I told you I will make your life hell, just wait for it."
He walks out on her once he finishes speaking and she looks at his retrieving back with a sneer and whisper’s to herself,
"You can’t make my life as hellish as it has been in the previous years. I wish you the best as well."
She also walks out from there. A door on the wall opens and he walks out of it. He watches her back as she walks on. He smiles to himself and says,
"I won’t let you go through hell. But how has your life been, for you to say that you have seen the worst?"
He shakes his head and puts his hands in his pockets and walks away.
In the office of old man Royal, he is sitting on his huge armchair with his desk in front of him. He is looking into some files but then, he raises his head and as if remembering something, he picks up his phone a d dials a number. The person picks up on the first ring and Royale asks,
"How far with the information, I asked about my employee?"
The person answers and he switches his laptop on, he searches for a folder and sees a picture of a couple. He looks at them closely and he closes his eyes, he leans back in the chair and holds his forehead and starts massaging it slowly. A few seconds later, he opens his eyes and opens another folder, he reads the information on it and looks closely at the photo ID of the person. Feeling like he hasn’t seen it clearly, he enlarges the picture and places the couple picture by the other picture. He looks between the two pictures and he sighs and leans back into the chair once again. He holds his chest and shakes his head slowly before saying to himself,
"I knew my guts was right. I did good for accepting her into this company, she must have suffered a lot out there. But you have grown up to be a strong and intelligent woman despite your situation."
In the dinning hall, she is sitting at the far end of the hall and she is busily munching on her food. The men keep staring in her way and one can’t help himself but say,
"She doesn’t look like a sophisticated lady who minds the rules of a place. She is happily enjoying her food even though she is the only lady in our midst."
Another adds on,
"I didn’t think she will be comfortable either working here or eating along with us. Look at what she is eating, it looks like a feast, is that food really hers?"
Another can not help but say,
"She looks like an angel dining with angels. I really want to marry her. Do you think I have a chance with her?"
"You don’t stand a chance, if it is in prosperity or handsomeness. She is prettier and gains more than you do. Someone quips in."
They look in the way of the speaker and it is none other than Jacob. He walks past them and goes to her table. She doesn’t sense his presence as she us eating and typing on her phone as well. He clears his throat and says to her,
"You seem to be having fun here."
She looks up at him and smiles nervously, food in her cheeks. She chews on it hurriedly and swallows down. The food chokes her and she quickly picks up the water and gulps it down. He watches the entire process and can not help himself but smile. She smiles back when she sees him smiling and he asks her,
"Can I sit with you as you eat? You seem to have enough to feed three mouths if needed."
She smiles weakly and nods her head. He sits down and asks for a fork a knife. The waiter rushes in their way. When he arrives and sees the food on the table, he looks on amazed and he questions,
"Miss, are you the only one who consumed so much food? This doesn’t look like your meal. Are you not the secretary of the CEO? I asked you to deliver the food to his office when you came volunteering. Why do you have everything on your table?"
Jacob looks in the way of Tilda and sees her looking down and covering her face from the matron. Jacob takes the set from his hands and asks him to leave, he smiles in the way of Tilda and sees her glaring at the back of the matron. His smile grows wider and he whispers,
"You are a trouble maker aren’t you? I like that."
Tilda looks at Jacob and says to him,
"Don’t get me wrong but that guy has to starve for a few more minutes. When realizes that his food isn’t coming, he will look for someone to investigate this. And he will find out that, I have eaten all his food including mine."
Jacob shakes his head slowly and she quickly adds on,
"I just don’t want to work for him. He’s… he’s… too much for me to handle. I just hate bullies, when they know that you have no way out, they try to make your life as miserable as they can."
