Chapter 10- Coffee Catastrophe
“ Are you deaf? I said get me another one, is it suddenly hard for you to understand simple English? The coffee is cold, get me another one, what's so hard for you to understand?" She asked, bringing me out of my shock as I just stood there staring at her.
Did this woman hold something against me that I didn't know about, because I didn't understand what was going on. She was acting like I was her past enemy who she suddenly met after a long time and she was taking out her anger on me. I wasn't a patient man and I knew that one of these days I was going to snap.
I took a deep breath and took the coffee then looking at her once more I walked out of her office.
This coffee wasn't cold, I could still feel how hot it was just by touching the cup and yet she said it was cold. She should have just told me she wanted to drink lava then I would have understood her and went straight to the volcano to get her some.
I looked at the coffee in my hand contemplating if I should throw it or not, and then with a shrug I started drinking it, it's my money and strength after all.
I walked out of the elevator when I was suddenly blocked by one of my colleagues. I knew what she wanted but my answer remains the same, I'm not attending any party she invites me to.
“ Hello, Mr. Smith," She said as I tried to walk past her but she still stood in my way. This woman should get out of my way before I take out my anger on her.
“ I'm busy,” I said and she pouted like she expected that to have any effect on me.
“ Come on, it's going to be fun and you don't have to worry because the people attending won't be from the office, they're just my friend's from outside. I promise you it's going to be wonderful," She said and I tried my best not to roll my eyes.
“ My answer is still no, please excuse me," I said as I walked past her and out of the company.
I walked to my car and got in as I drove to the coffee shop, the shop wasn't far but you don't expect me to stress myself when there's a possibility that that witch might still reject this coffee.
I walked into the coffee shop and I'm sure the guy was surprised to see me return so quickly asking for the same coffee.
“ Can I get black coffee, please! Make it as hot as possible, like very hot," I said and he nodded before he went to get what I asked.
Let's see what she's going to say her problem is this time around.
I thanked the guy as I took the coffee after paying and walked out of the shop.
I got into my car and drove to the company again praying that that little witch behaves or she was going to get a taste of her own medicine.
I knocked on her door again and I heard her tell me to come in, she sounded like she didn't want to talk at the moment and her face looked even worse. Like she wanted me to disappear. You know she'd look better if she smiled more because this look on her face didn't suit her one bit.
This woman definitely had a grudge against me I'm not aware of.
“ Your coffee ma'am,” I said as I dropped the coffee on her table and she gave me a hard look.
Ow, I'm so scared. I fought hard not to roll my eyes, again.
She took the coffee and immediately dropped it with a scream.
“ You jealous evil creature, are you trying to burn my mouth? It's too hot! And besides, did I tell you I want black coffee?!" She shouted and that was when I realized this woman was really crazy.
“ I said get me hot coffee not lava, but you want to kill me, why? Because I don't tolerate your laziness like my grandpa does? Get me coffee, just simple coffee and you get me that,” She said as she pointed at the cup like a child.
" Get out, take that goddamn cup and get out of my sight!” She shouted.
I just did as she said as I took the cup and walked out of her office.
Well, another coffee for me.
I took the coffee and went to my office as I looked through my computer screen checking out important tasks that needed to be done, not some task given to me for no reason.
We have a trip to Paris next week and it was expected that I will travel with that witch. God I wish Mr. Miller was still the CEO, aside from working, I do have a good time on trips like this.
But I'm very sure with this witch it will be different. I'm a hundred and ninety nine percent sure that that witch would be giving me a hard time.
I turned to look at the documents she had earlier told me to look at and just rolled my eyes as I turned back to my computer screen searching for a good hotel we could stay in Paris for the show next week.
I found the perfect place and booked it as I continued with my job.
It was almost time for work to close so I took the documents and stood up as I headed to her office.
I knocked and she was quiet for a while, something I was already getting used to before she told me to come in.
“ I'm done with the files,” I said and was about to go return them to their respective shelves but she stopped me.
" We both know you did nothing,” She said and I turned to her with a raised brow.
“ And how do you know that?" I asked and she just scoffed before turning her computer screen to me.
Oh fuck!
