Chapter 25.
At the kitchen..
Mrs qin was busy with the veges choppings. She had cut out the cucu-mber and springs for the salad.
She returned to the dinning table to pick the rest of the carrot.
After grabbing the carrot, she stopped and raised her gaze only to find Amy on the door post, standing there with a guilt face.
She was wearing a bunny cap and a big peach cardigan that was over her kneels, and her hair was also in a rou-ghbun.
Mrs qin dropped back the plate of carrot on the table and held her wai-st.
” For how long have you been standing there staring at me?” She asked, filling her face with a scowl.
Amy gulped down nothing as she slowly bent her heads and made her way into the kitchen.
” Alicia!. Answer me!” Her mother yelled making fearful amy stagger in her steps.
She slowly looked up to meet her mom scowful gaze and her heart began to race.
” I..I just came a while ago.” She said, her voice was weak and cracking.
” And you couldn’t come in to help me??” Her mom yelled at her face.
” I’m very sorry.” She said
” Mn!” Her mom scoffed and hastily walked back to the burner where she was cooking.
Amy slowly stepped towards the dinning. She pulled out a chair and her bu-tt fell on it hardly, causing a gasp from her.
Her mom quickly turned to look at her.
” Are you okay?” She asked with a confused face.
Amy pressed her li-ps ti-ght as she shaked her heads nervously.
” Then, Help me cut those carrot since you are less busy” She told her.
Amy stared at the carrot on the table and stretched out her shaking arms to pick the knife.
She held the carrot in place but her arms kept shaking as she leaned to cut the carrot.
Her mom stared at her again worriedly as she watched her daughter struggle to cut a piece of carrot.
She came to sit next to her and Amy frantically dropped the knife on the floor.
” Alicia dear. Please, is it because of xan left?” She asked.
Amy curled her li-ps into her mouth avoiding her mother’s gaze.
” Look, Alicia. Xan has left. He is not the only man in the world!. You can’t marry a man who hurt you, the memories will surely come back to hurt you one day. I’m your mother and i know what’s best for you, okay?”
” You don’t know what’s best for me!” Amy yelled, tears had started to trickle down her eyes.
” Do you know why xan came back to be my love, its because fate was trying to mend our past!. Even after what he did, he apologised and he has swore to me that he will change. Why can’t you believe that for once!” Amy yelled, her che-st began to break.
” Alicia… i don’t want you running back after you make a big mistake by accepting him.”
” My biggest mistake will be me and xan never getting married. Do you hear me, mother?”
” Alicia…!”
” Mom. What if_ what if you wake up one day and you realise that you are a grandma?” Amy asked, inhaling sharply.
” You wouldn’t dare go to that extent, Alicia. I will rip you apart till I’m satisfied seeing you bleed!” She yelled.
Amy pouted her li-ps, as tears lined down on her cheeks.
A door bell sounded interupting the two. Amy looked up at her mom, their eyes glaring at eachother.
Mrs qin stood up with her raised shoulder and strided towards the livingroom.
She opened the door and met a slim delivery man standing there with a big box with him.
” An order.” He said, stretching it to mrs qin. Her face turned sour.
” An order?. We never did an order. Who is it from?”
The delivery man looked at his paper as he adjusted his gla-sses.
” Here, it was mentioned that the goods was bought by xan.” He said and turned to look at her.
” Xan?” Her brows squinted.
Amy slowly came into view as she stared at the box in her mom’s hand.
” Let’s see what’s inside.” Amy suggested.
” Didn’t you hear him?. He said it’s from xan. I can’t receive any good as far as it’s from him.”
” But..” Amy stepped forward.
” Stay out of this.” Her mom said and gave back the goods to the delivery man.
” Take this. We don’t need it.” She said.
” No!” Amy screamed and struggled to get the box from him.
” Xan did the order for me. Please, he mustn’t return it.” She said as tears trickled down her eyes painfully.
” Alicia!!. Stay back!!” Mrs qin shouted.
” You stay back!!” She screamed at her still struggling with the box.
Mrs qin turned to the delivery man.
” Just give it to her.” Mrs qin said and the delivery man freely left hold of the box.
Amy held the box ti-ght in her che-st and she ran away.
Her mom watched her as she meekly run up the stairs still hugging the box.
She sighed, closing up the door against the hinge.
She climbed up the stairs and went up the stairs. She opened the door to her room and found her holding a phone close to her ears.
” I was able to get it. Thank you so much, xan. I love you.” she said, sniffing with the back of her palm.
She dropped her phone on the bed and kicked the items he had bought for her un-der the bed.
She laid her body to rest on the bed before dragging up the blanket to cover her head.
Her mom slowly closed up the door and leaned her arm on the nearest wall.
” Something tells me that things are not alright. I think they are hiding something.” She said and heaved a sigh.
…..
XAN’S OFFICE.
Xan dropped his phone on the table and palmed his face, heaving a loud sigh.
He heard Amy’s voice and he knew she wasn’t faring well at all.
He sighed and decided to take the thought of her away, bringing back his working spirit.
The door to his office got opened and vixen ran in like he was being chased.
He sat on the chair opposite xan and began to p@n-t heavily like he had done a thorou-ghmarathon.
” Oh thank Goodness you are here, xan!. Why were you avoiding my calls?”
” I was driving. I saw your text, but i couldn’t read it.” Xan replied camly, as he arranged his table.
Vixen leaned forward with his arms on the table.
” I was almost a dead meat today, xan. You won’t believe how the devil tried to punish me.” He said.
” Gist me about it.” Xan said, cu-pping his cheek as he paid attention.
” So, it happened that i met a girl on the road about in her early twenties. She asked for a job and i took her to the office for an interview only to discover that this girl is insane, i mean..xan.. she’s damn crazy!” Vixen yelled, gesturing his hand wide and big.
” Oh.” Was all xan said.
” Why do you look like what i say didn’t interest you. Didn’t you see the bitc-h?. The new secretary, katrina?”
” Who’s katrina?” Xan lazily pronounced her name so religiously, like a sweet poem.
….
KATRINA OFFICE.
Katrina picked up the ink and tried to use them on the stamping paper
She did it extra slow and careful but the ink all spilled out from the otherside.
” Gosh!. All this bullshit equipment around this office!.” she yelled, throwing the ink into the waste bin rou-ghly, it escaped and fell off.
” The chairs and cabinets are pulling out, they’re all old and even the wall clock itself!. How can they fix a clock that ain’t ticking any longer!” She yelled and hissed loudly.
Her door opened and Quincy, one of the fat workers tripped into the room carrying a heap of files.
” Please sign this docu-ment” she said, stamping it on her table.
Katrina stared at the files and stared back at quincy. A huge sarcastic laugh escaped her li-ps as she clapped her hands.
” Look at the way you just walked in like as if you were being pushed in a wheel. Then, you just opened your stinky mouth to tell me to sign this docu-ment?”
” What are you trying to say?. This is your job, young lady” Quincy said, holding her wai-st.
” Don’t refer me as a young lady!. I’m katrina and my palms are good enough to slap you regardless of if you are my mate or not!” She yelled.
Quincy mouth dropped as she stood there, utterly speechless at her.
” But that’s not where i was driving to. I only regarded you as young lady since it a formal title of recognition in this organisation.”
” Enough of those big grammar, madam. Keep the docu-ment on that old bench that’s almost crying for it death, I’ll sign it later.” She said.
” You need to sign it now. I need to give it to boss quickly.” Quincy probbed her.
” This is just my first day of work!. Can’t i have a piece of mind!. Oh please, if you can’t drop it on that bench then you give it to that stupid di*k you call your boss and never worry my life!” She yelled, leaning back on the chair and crossing her leg.
” Gosh. Why would boss ever employ such a lazy and rude fool like you!” Quincy yelled, scowling her face.
Katrina paused and slowly met her eyes.
” Were you just referring to me?” She asked, cracking her ne-ck.
” Oh. Sorry. I forgot you used to be a ghost.” Quincg said and turned her backs to leave.
When suddenly, Katrina stood up and pulled her back by her hair. Quincy yelled as her bu-tt hit back on the marble table.
Katrina picked the bowl of ink and dropped it directly on top of her face, some spilling down her white shirt.
She left hold of her and the bowl fell on the ground, breaking into pieces causing a crashing noise.
” Hah!. My eyes and nose!” Quincy spat out raw ink.
Katrina stretched out an handkerchief.
” Have this to clean your face.” She said.
Ignorance, Quincy stretched to hold the rag and cleaned it to her face.
” What’s this?” She asked as the rag couldn’t get off her face any longer.
” That’s glue.”
” What!!”
” Find your way out of my office before i do worse!” Katrina yelled.
” But I can’t see!” She cried.
” Where’s that scissors!!” She yelled scaring the ribs out of quincy.
” I’m sorry!” Quincy apologised
She stepped out slowly with her arm halfway in the air, with the ink-like face and a rag glued to her face.
Katrina laughed hilariously.
” Things are just getting started in here. I tell you, I’m going to be the new boss and I’ll put some senses into those fools whose senses are running out.” She hissed and fell back on her sofa.
Her door pulled open and the two powerful men walked in. Xan and vixen tripped in like the king of hell.
Katrina saw them and rolled her eyes.
” Good. Another set of fools that needs me to deliver some sense” she said, loud enough for them to hear.
They stopped in front of her table and vixen saw the mess of the ink on the floor.
He turned to look at her.
” Katrina?. Did you do that to that girl?” He asked.
” Which girl?. The one with a blue face and a dotted rag?”
” You know who I’m talking about. Stop beating around the bush!!” He yelled.
” Oh. She’s that fat girl with no shape. She called me a lazy and rude fool so i showed her that she was right?”
” Did you know you completely damaged her whole face!!” He yelled.
” Oh. Did i?. Awn. Thats so sad, i feel like crying. Infact, i should have used staplers to hold her nose to her mouth, then I’ll know that her face is damaged.”
” Can you hear this girl?” Vixen turned to ask xan.
Xan sighed and pocketed his hands.
” So. You are katrina?”
” Arg!. If you know my name why then are you still asking!”
” Shut up and listen!.”
” Why don’t you shut up yours and listen to how awful your voice sounds like!” She spat.
” Katrina!. I give you one week…one week in this office to change your attitude. If not, you are leaving this place.”
” Oh. So you guys can still keep me here for one week after all i did today and will still do in the future?. Woah…”
” Katrina. This will be your last time you will ever do something crazy in this office. Do you hear me?” Xan asked, bringing it warning finger.
” Sure” she said.
She spat out the gum she was chewing earlier and pasted de-eper inside his curly hair.
Xan jaw left his joint immediately.
” So, i did another crazy thing, mm. Let me see you punish me.” She said, folding her hands while looking at the two brothers.
Xan tou-ched his head in disbelief. The gum had actually stick to his middle entrance
He angrily raised his hands to hit her and She fearfully covered her whole face.
Vixen stopped his wrist right away.
” Why are you stopping me from giving her what she deserves!” Xan turned to yell at him.
” please, please. I’m sure…I’m sure she will change, Let’s just leave her alone for this first week.” He said, heaving heavily.
” What!”
TBC.
