Good work everyone!" Madame Stephanie said brusquely, her gaze stern but her eyes betraying a sense of satisfaction as she handed them their monthly wages.
Imogen wore the widest grin as she received the bundle of heavy euros. She was the happiest because she earn the biggest money €3,430 was definitely a huge cash. Debby also wore a smile as she stared at the bundle of €2800 , it would go a long way for her daily expenses and she plan on getting something for her guardians and cousins. Probably pizza or hamburger for dinner. Such is the love she has for her guardians.
Debby unlike Adrianna, who is yearning for scholarship has a culinary certificate, a course of two years. Although she wants to further more because her grade can't be recruited in a high paying restaurant , here where she works as a cook pay an affordable amounts and it isn't strenuous but one day , Debby is aiming to become a professional chef.
Adrianna held the bundle of cash . No need to check twice she knows the estimated amount in the envelope, a total of €1,000 . Very nice to her because she was given bonuses daily for the past 12 months. Such is Madame Stephanie. She wants efficiency in everything. The other worker cheered among themselves.
" Thank you Madame Steph." The workers applauded . Stephanie waves dismissively before sashaying into her mini car . Soon the car screech followed . The security knew better , to lock the door. Soon everyone was outside. Adrianna took her bag to her chest slowly dragging her feet.
The mummur of the workers could be heard as they waited for cabs. Imogen was the first to enter, the other staff waves at her envying her since she ordered a ride
" Byeeee!!!" The workers continue waving and their hands dropped as the taxi slowly disappeared into further length.
" Too cocky." A staff sneered , the others nodded in agreement .
" Ordering a ride because she collect the highest. Does she have to rub it on our faces every damned minute ." Another spat angrily .
Debby scoffed withdrawing herself away from them. Don't be surprised , the lower staffs Comprising of the cleaners , most of the dishwasher , the delivery girls and secretary are like that and gossiping about Imogen seems to be their favorite hobby.
" Just imagine, you would think she is Madame Steph relative with her expensive dressing." Another scoffed with jealousy evident in her voice .
" Right. !" They all jeered in laughter. Debby put in her ear buds to distract her from the gossip.
" So rude!" Tsk!" They cackles loudly . Soon a taxi approached them and they all got in .
" Debby , care to join in." Someone among the workers offered. But Debby swayed her limb to the music.
" Leave her , maybe she is also waiting for her ride ." Another sneered and they laughed loudly again before the car drove off.
" Bitches" " Debby scoffed , she stared at her wrist watch , soon a loud screech was heard as a motorcycle approached her.
" You are late." Debby frowned at the rider who grinned in return.
" Sorry cousin ." The rider smiled and wore a helmet over her head , Debby was still frowning" Okay I will buy you ice cream on our way home."
" Whatever ." Debby said with a low scoff hiding her smile . The man kicked the engine to life, the engine roared in response and he drove off with high speed.
" Slow down. Tamil." Debby yelled , soon her laughter could be heard as cold breeze swayed her hair . Her gaze locked onto someone. Adrianna.
Adrianna was helplessy dragging her feet home and Debby knew she had to ask for Adrianna home address from Madame Steph. Today is payday and she can't even take a taxi. Is that how poor she is. No something isn't right.
For a minute Adriana gaze locked onto Debby who had been staring at her . The motorcycle speed past Adrianna , but before it did . Debby smiled at Adrianna.
Adrianna eyes widened and she rubbed her eyes on disbelief. Did Debby just smiled at me !" She asked inwardly but shrugged walking down the alley since it was fastest route to her house. Unknown to her there were shadows lurking behind the Alley. As Adrianna stepped out of the Alley, she was brutally pushed by someone and her eyes widened as she felt nothing in her little purse. No . No . No this can't be happening.
" Thief." Adrianna mumbled , standing up with a groan. " Thief ." Her voice got louder and she broke down into tears running after the thief. By passerby glanced at her but unwilling to help. Who was the thief here , her dressed ragged or the supposed thief no where to be found.
" Help . Help!! Thief!!!" Adrianna ran after the thief trying to catch up with him. A loud screech startled her , her eyes widened as she stared at the car that almost hit her. Adrianna eyes darted across the street and she bursted into louder sobs as the thief had already disappeared from her sight. Unable to contain this overheating anger.
" Can't you watch where you are going!" Adrianna spat angrily at the owner of the tinted Benz .
" Why. Just why do you take Joy in tormenting me world. Why the hell where you driving now?!" Adrianna yelled angrily pulling her hair in tears. The money, her earnings for thirty one days all gone. Just how would she survive Aunt Clarice torment tonight , nobody would believe her.
" Just why where you driving now!" Adrianna blinded by her anger took her shoe and threw it at the car .
By passerby stood carefully by the drama. The car owner gaze darkened .
" Mr kings. I am deeply sorry. I would go ask for compensation now." The man beside Cassius bowed deeply.
" ¡ Espera ( Wait.) Cassius lazily said with his dark gaze on the sobbing Adrianna.
" I hate you . I just hate you!!!" Adrianna yelled before limping away with bitter tears.
"!Conduce ( Drive.) Cassius whispered hoarsely and the man bowed kicking the engine to live.
" Well that was a nice compensation." Cassius whispered hoarsely with his dark gaze on Adrianna limping away.
Confusion swirled in the driver eyes. He was confused and shocked about Cassius kindness . How can a bloody mortal touch his boss car, not only that but also yell at him harshly . Can today madness just end.
Cassius eyes gleamed darkly as he remembered Adrianna words " I hate you. I hate you." The pain on her face was.... SATISFYING . Cassius slowly smirked with his legs crossed.
