Chapter 10

The monster boss returns!!

The morning birds were already sounding in the trees and Harold was on his way to his corporation. He had a very important meeting to attend that morning and he could not miss it for anything at the work.
It was no news that Harold is a rich man with a lot of enterprises but among all his P.Mary was the best as she was efficient, smart, intelligent, and friendly.
She came out with flying colors in her badge while she was in school and she has always done her work diligently and has never forgotten an agenda or deadline for any deal.
She was highly recommended from Germany as she had worked for many foreign companies and her language Harold were top-notch.
" Good morning Mr. Harold," she recited her normal morning rhythm as it had become a routine.
Rolling up his eyes, Harold looked at Mary and responded,
"Good morning Mary, how are you today?" he asked as though she was not feeling well fixing his stare on her.
Mary bowing down her head in shame as she was blushing from her boss's gaze, she responded,
"I am fine Mr. Harold," She said using her eyes to count her toes as her head could not go up again because she was uneasy.
Harold asked her why she was in his office and if she needed anything.
"The meeting with the members of Fresh Tea starts in three minutes Sir and everyone else is in the meeting room waiting for you before they can start", she said looking at the agenda that she was holding.
Harold knew he had a meeting that morning as every Monday, they had executive meetings either with their investors or just with the board members within the company.
" Thank you Mary I will be there in a minute", Harold told his assistant with a mild smile on his lips.
"Also, the meeting with "Mika's Wine", had been postponed till further notice as their manager is Harold feeling too well.
Harold heard her keenly as she read out his agenda for the day, and when she was done she excused herself and left for her office while he prepared the necessary documents for his board meeting with his board of directors.
Jessica was still at home with her friend.
Jessica who thought that her friend had forgotten about that ugly incident, was sorely mistaken as she was hell-bent on knowing what had happened.
Jessica who did not know what to tell Liza got up and went into the bathroom.
Liza who had noticed that her friend was avoiding the subject sighed like a pregnant woman, and stretching her body on the bed said,
" You don't have to tell me if you don't want to Jessica. Well, I thought that we were good friends and that we could tell each other everything," she mumbled disappointedly by her friend's attitude towards the matter.
Jessica stayed in the bathroom for some time feeling bad for not telling her friend the truth but again she had to choose as she knew full well that the kind of life age was living, was not the best and it was full of lies telling and treachery.

Isa felt bad for tormenting the hell of out Khloe but she deserved it after all that she went through with her in the hospital. Yes, her landing in the hospital was Isa's fault because of her mischievous idea to put pepper sauce in her lotion. Khloe suffered the same fate she went through but hers wasn't worse as compared to Isa's. Isa considered herself lucky because she had Claire and Mrs Macy as her partners in crime. She came up with the idea and they helped her execute it, the good thing being that Scott was around. She didn't know when he'll be back and neither did any of the other staff. She knew he'd be back by Monday since he said he was leaving for the weekend. Isa was still enjoying her royal treatment. Again, Curt had ghosted her to a point where she wondered if it was deliberate because she refused to tell him the colour of her panties the previous night. Why did he want to know anyway? Does he sell underwear? She had her bath that evening and went downstairs to join the others for dinner. She still pretended she was sick as she sat at the main dining table and had her meal claiming that the noise from the others increased the migraine as usual her accomplice Claire, accompanied her as they sat down at the table together and mimicked Scott and Khloe, Isa acting as Scott and Claire as Khloe. They laughed their lives out as they impersonated their various characters. Khloe was knocked out as she went to bed early saying she was exhausted from all the errands Isabel and the others laboured on her so the mischievous duo took it upon themselves to watch a movie in the house cinema while occupying their mouths with popcorn. This was Isa's best corner in the house. You could be here all day and no one would ever know people hardly come in here to watch movies except when they had to clean and she wondered why they built it in the first place if it didn't have any use for them. Well today, she would make use of the rejected stone. While they were halfway into the movie, she received a text from Curt. Finally! She exhaled. The message read ' Hey' he was always fond of texting her short messages and when she replied, he either ghosted her or gave her straight-to-the-point answers. This was not the doctor she'd met that day. He looked like such a caring and loving person but the person with whom she texted was different. She replied ' Hello! You finally decided to text me! Should I be worried?' he replied almost immediately.
' No! I'm not doing anything now so I wanted to check up on you.'
' Aw, that's so sweet she replied with a smiley emoji. She was a fan of using emojis, she believed that they gave you a reaction to your words. For example, you can insult someone and attach a smiley emoji to it and the person wouldn't make a fuss out of it because he would know that it was just a joke. In general, emojis were a symbol of the expression of feelings.
