Chapter 11
After leaving Mr. Corners house, she entered her car and tried to calm herself down. Of she knew it was going to be an insult, she won't have dared to visit. He was an annoying old man.
'It didn't go well?" The driver asked as he turned back to look at her. One would tell she didn't have a good night rest. Her eyes looked puff.
'So because I'm a woman, they look down on me. They think i can't get that position?" Sharon asked as if she was referring it to the driver. The poor middle aged man just stared at her like he was watching a TV show of his favorite characters.
'I know you can." Mr. Joel the driver uttered as if trying to encourage her not to give up. He knew her to be brave and intelligent, a strong woman that fought her way up, all alone. No siblings, no parents, no lover. The only thing was her lack of respect. She acts like she could get anything.
'Thanks. So what is next?" She said and her eyes met with Mr. Joels'.
'I should be asking you that. Maybe go back home?" Mr. Joel suggested with a smile on his face.
Sharon was quiet for about a minute before concluding on something. The more she wasted time, the more ken would stay in jail. It was obvious no one was going to help her. They didn't want to be on the bad side. So she thought but the truth was, her attitude was creating enemies. She had to do something to help ken, 'Take me to Daniel." She uttered with a low tone.
Mr. Joel understood her and nodded, 'Okay. Put on your seat belt." He reminded her.
However, the drive to the company was very quiet. And as soon as the car parked near the entrance, Sharon got out without a word. She looked so determined and Mr. Joel wondered what the poor lady was up to. Though he wished everyone would understand her just like him and ken does.
Mr. Daniel was so busy checking out all the paperwork when Sharon banged the door open and walked in. Behind her was his secretary. She looked fearful and gave her boss a sad look. She had earlier tried to stop Sharon from coming in but, she just didn't want to listen. And the lady knew if it continues, she would one day kiss her well paid job a goodbye.
'Your new habit of banging in without permission is quite impressive." Daniel smiled at their direction.
'It is not like you're banging a girl and doesn't want anyone in. This is an office not your house." Sharon responded and the secretary behind her almost cried.
'Sir, I am so..." His secretary, Angelina didn't even finish her sentence. Daniel knew she tried her best to stop Sharon, so, why blame the lady.
'It is fine. You can leave." Daniel answered calmly with his eyes still on Sharon. Angelina left them but was still not sure her boss has forgiven her. It was the second time such a thing was happening. And after the secretary left Daniel turned to Sharon, 'You see how you scared her?" He asked.
Sharon rolled her eyes and sat down without being permitted to, 'And so?" She asked back. Daniel shook his head in disappointment. He almost forgot she was a savage.
'Uhmmmm..." Daniel breathed heavily and sighed. He just overlooked her presence and continued with what he was doing. Well, he was excited knowing for the fact that she came because of her arrested secretary. Her pride didn't let her come sooner. He didn't care.
'You should know the reason i came." Sharon suddenly uttered.
"Only if you didn't bang in and sit without permission. But, i should still ask, right? So tell me Miss Sharon, what brings you here? Or have you come here to pick up on me? Or yes, you got a proof to my crime?" Daniel asked with a mockery tone and it upseted her.
'Nice one. You can try better than that." She paused and studied Daniel but as usual, he just only smiled back.
"What do you want?" Daniel looked serious as he asked. He didn't have all the time in the world to exchange words with a lady that has no manners and sees herself like a goddess of which he doesn't see.
'Release my secretary." She just ordered and Daniel looked stunned. He couldn't believe her guts. The way she said it.
"Is that a command or you're begging me to?" Daniel's question kept her speechless for a minute or two, 'I can leave him there for as long as i want. Or have you forgotten the reason for his arrest?" He added.
Sharon knew he was right. She didn't know how to beg. She has never done that.
"I know but, what is the point of keeping an old man in jail. He suffered alot already." She defended but it made Daniel annoyed the more.
'He should have thought about that when he tried to tannish my reputation and boldly called the police on me. He really got the guts. How are my sure he is not a long time wanted criminal." Daniel said with a serious look on.
"ken only did it for me. He is not a criminal." She hated the fact that Daniel was correct and they had to conclude on something, "So what do you want me to do?" She forced herself to ask and Daniel burst out laughing. He couldn't believe what he heard. Was she giving up already?
'Ha ha ha ha... What did you say?" He asked with a bold smile. Enjoying the moment and would have paid any amount of money to see the angry look on Sharon's face.
