After work, I headed to a restaurant to look for the witch.
When I entered, I asked the person at the counter,
"Hi, Emm, do you know me?"
She looked surprised.
"Emm, no… why?"
"Are you the owner of this place?" I asked.
"Yes. Any problem?" she replied.
''No,no...not at all.''
I said and left,
moving to see if I would see another restaurant around there.
That witch is just wicked,how was I going to find her?
Going from one restaurant to another sounded stuipd, but that was the only lead I had to save the love of my life.
Few blocks away from that rrestaurant,I saw another restaurant, I told myself I would just start a conversation with the owner. If she is the witch, she promised she would tell me.
"Hey, what's up?" I said with a smile.
"I'm good. You?" he replied.
I laughed, though it wasn't genuine. The man laughed too, as if nothing was off.
"Are you here for the Emm? You know, right?"
He made a hand gesture that shocked me. I started laughing again, nervously.
"What the hell? Of course not!"
"Oh, wrong girl. Here she comes," he said, biting his lips.
Was he really going to leave his job to do… that? Not my business.
I couldn't even ask if he was the owner.
I left and decided to go home. It was already late, and with the kind of boss I had, I needed to be up early.
He said he would tell me my job description tomorrow.
I got home and burst into tears. Celine was already asleep. I just laid on the bed, quietly crying.
"How the hell am I going to save him?" I whispered.
The worst part? The more time I wasted, the riskier it became. He might remain in his wolf form forever.
I just laid there,lost in thought,I couldn't sleep.
I picked my phone to watch one or two videos online then,i realised
"Oh my God, it's already 4 a.m.,"
I quickly set the alarm for 6 a.m.,I also knew Celine would wake me if I didn't.
So I laid down and slept off like a baby.
Later that morning...
"Oh Andrew, stop!" I murmured in my sleep, smiling. Celine tapped me,she had just woken up.
"Girl, what are you still doing here?"
I woke up, smiling.
"Well, you're still here."
She chuckled.
"You shouldn't be dreaming by this time."
I blinked at her.
"Is there a time I'm not supposed to dream?"
She laughed.
"For someone who just got a job yesterday, you shouldn't be sleeping till 9 a.m."
''*That's a lie,if it's 9 a m,why are you still here?''
I said barely above a whisper.
''because today is my off day stuipd''
I jumped out of bed.
"Oh no, he's going to sack me. What should I do? I need a really good excuse. I'm cooked."
I ran to the bathroom. Within two minutes, I was out, dressed, and ready. When I got to work, it was already 10 a.m.
I walked through the building, passing the office filled with staff.
"Girl, why are you coming now?"
The girl from yesterday asked me. I was scared, scanning the room.
"Is he here?" I asked, ignoring her question.
"You're lucky he's not in yet, but don't try it again if you don't want to lose your job," she said, rolling her eyes.
I let out a breath of relief.
"Good morning, sir," everyone said together as he entered.
He looked at me and signaled for me to follow him. I froze, confused.
"Girl, he's talking to you," the girl beside me said.
"Oh," I whispered, following him. When I got to his office, he signaled again, telling me to pick something up. Foolish me thought he meant I should sit, so I did.
"Excuse me? Who asked you to sit?" he asked, genuinely shocked.
"You did, sir," I replied.
"I didn't," he said.
"You did," I repeated.
He smiled, .
"Well, I don't know why I haven't sacked you. People do less, and I sack them. But I think I love your vibe. I will teach you some lessons."
I smiled nervously.
"I hope it's a good lesson," I murmured.
"Of course," he said with a smile. "You are as powerful as the boss, right? Meet Binaca,she'll fill you in at your job. Also, you have something to do today. But first, go get me some coffee."
I rushed to get the coffee, entered his office, and handed it to him. He snatched it, but when he tasted it, he spat it out,luckily it didn't touch me.
"Come," he said, motioning. I hesitated. What could go wrong?
"Take this," he said, handing me the coffee
"Raise your hand above your head,go and stand outside''
he instructed.
I did it, standing in front of all the employees. Oh God, what was his plan? Everybody was watching, whispering.
"Oh, poor girl. I knew she wouldn't last."
"Yeah, she's even the worst I've seen," someone added, laughing.
He came out and said,
"Now pour it on yourself."
I froze.
"What?" I asked.
"You may be stupid, but I'm sure you aren't deaf," he said.
I poured it on myself, furious, my eyes red. People laughed silently, except one employee who let out a loud laugh. Surprisingly, it was the girl helping me. I felt a little bad,she was the last person I expected that laugh from.
"Maya, what's funny?" he asked.
"You. Get me another coffee, make it warm," he said to me.
I quickly went to the dispenser. He pointed at her.
"Ehhmm?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied.
I went to her
and then looked at him from there,
''Hand it over to her,''
I did.
She was shocked. Everybody was.
''Sir please,''
She pleaded,
''Your mom is in the hospital right? you wouldn't want to lose your job.''
Maya didn't utter anyother word,she just poured it on herself.
I felt… victorious and bad at same time,This isn't how a boss should behave.
His so arrogant.
I looked at him. He was staring at me and smiling. But Immediately he noticed I saw him,he stopped.
What was his plans for me?
