"Are you a dummy that needs to be told everything?" He asked calmly.
His words hit her hard that she widen her look.
"Juan" Jason called softly.
"Isn't it part of your training? Because I don't know why you don't know the simple basis of the thing you have to do when a file is signed by the intended parties. Isn't it obvious that after a document is signed, it must be photocopied, scanned and archived and the soft and hard copy is to be distributed respectively to the parties in need of it. I thought you are said to be smart" he said in a rich haughty voice that penetrated into her heart. Even his looks wasn't excluded.
As he spoke, Tyndall was busy fighting back tears that was stubbornly making its way to her eyes. She bit her lips on the inside and was trying to pout at the same time.
"Hey! What's the animosity all about" Jason couldn't take it down that he voiced out looking at Tyndall pitifully.
"You wanna know?" Juan asked looking at her.
Jason nodded even though Juan wasn't looking at him.
"She's mean" he said fixing his eyes on her.
Tyndall whose eyes was already glistering with tears knew that saying anything will embarass her further because her tears will race down her cheeks. She just took the file and left. She got back to her office and let out the tears she held crying sadly.
"What's up with you two?" Jason asked.
"That's Tyndall" he replied blankly.
Jason frowned. "Don't you think I know what she bares?"
"That's Somaria's little sister".
Jason's eyes grew bigger at his words and his mouth hung opened wide.
"And you dare treat her that way?" He asked pointing at the door.
"She's mean" he said crisply.
"And you fuck what! She's your girl's little sis and that !means she's part of your life whether you like it or not. You don't need to retaliate to anything she does. Guy, she is not your business. Do you even think about what is at stake here?" He chided.
"Don't shout. If you ever know what that girl has don to me, you won't say anything like that. She has never for a day acknowledged my relationship with her sister. It is as if I've wronged her in past life. I'm tired of her mesmerising my life. It is my turn now" he said lackadaisically.
"Oh your turn" he nods with a wide look and twisted lips. "Guy you are a goner" he said with a pitiful stern look.
"Not like I care" he said nonchalantly.
"Not like you care!"
Jason was super shocked. This Juan seems different from the guy he knows.
"Is everything fine between you and Ria?"
He couldn't come up with any other thought. No man in a nice relationship will spit of such jargon from his mouth.
"We are fine".
"Don't you love her anymore?"
"I do but that doesn't mean I should a frustrated life all through because of one silly girl that thinks too highly of herself" he said plainly.
Jason gave him a skeptic look. "Are you going to ruin your relationship for her?"
"No I won't but enough of all the inconveniences. I won't back down" he promised.
By the time Tyndall returned Jason was gone. She dropped Juan's copy of the file and left.
"Tyndall" he called.
She stopped look at him, eyed him and left. This made him burst into laughter. Then he felt a little guilty of his treatment but it was overwhelmed by the thought of having been able to stand up to her.
He smiled. "Now she is having a taste of her own medicine".

"I got detention today?" Clary told Somaria as they both saw a cartoon.
Ever since he has been with them they've been taking good care of him but they don't hesitate to correct him when necessary.
To little Clary it was as if he came to paradise. He's never been around ladies except for his aunt whom he doesn't fancy. He was pampered to extent that he rarely missed his father. He doesn't even stay I. Doors as usual because he loves to read around them. The most interesting part was that he went to church.
He danced and danced that everyone looked at him and laughed. He was so happy going even Somaria and Tyndall were glad to take in the boy.
"Why?" Somaria asked.
"I told Mr Gath that he stinks" he replied.
Somaria almost laughed at the boy's bravado. "Come on Clary that's not fair enough" she said.
"Of course not" he disagreed. "He is indeed a stench. I can't breathe because of his bepad odur. He doesn't bath, nor brush his teeth neither does he wash his clothes. I can't imagine how he became a tutor" he said giving a disgusted look.
"Is he your tutor?"
"No he is not. He tutor the senior class. I can't just imagine myself been in a class he tutors".
"So how come you got detention?"
"Miss Maggie heard when I told him he was a stench. She then said I'm being rude and gave me detention as if she didn't cover her nose when talking. What an hypocrite" he said scornfully.
Somaria laughed out loud. "So what did you do at detention?"
"She told to write I'll never be rude again, a thousand times" he replied. "It's not as if she really care about what I told Mr Gath, she only wanted to get back at me" he added.
