2 Meeting an enemy on a narrow road

Sapphire was at the cafeteria with her best friend, London, ordering lunch. Indeed the cafeteria is loud, filled with workers from different department, coming in joining the line, buying the meal. At this time of the day is truly irritating because one: you have to join the line, two: the line is long, three: by the time you reach up to the ordering session, the kind of meal you want always done and four SCREW THE COMPANY FOR HAVING SHORT-HANDED STAFF!!! and five... Sapphire looked around, coming up with ideas to add for number five. Man I got nothing. She thought. Her stomach growled in hunger. I whimpered. This is too much. Lunch period is around 11 am to 1 pm sometimes 2 pm...depending on the cook, the staff , or we having visitors examples high school or university students that came here for expedition. It easier to get work here since the company support different schools, yep we benefit from it except hiring more people, which get me on my nerve because more people, long line and it getting me hungry even worse. Ah don't wrong me I can go buy food from Burger King , KFC or other Chinese fast food restaurant... it just that we get free food so it a win-win situation.

"NEXT!!!!" I heard a hoarse female voice, I snapped out if my thought. I saw the server, a lady in her 50's, wearing white overall, with plastic apron . I smiled wrily. "Place your order" She demands. "Fr-fry chicken with white rice and vegetable" she spoke shyly. "Salad , Pasta or Macaroni" "Salad with the orange juice soda" she respond. The server pour the content of the food. Heading to my favorite hangout out spot near to the tall glasd window as we can see what going on outside the building. As usual, the social butterfly surround by her co-workers , flirting and laughing with her. Me being invisible ..i dont really mind. They didnt even noticed that I'm here. Listening to their conversation doesnt faze me. I was minding my business until a guy accidentally bumped unto me. This blond hair man faced me. I recognised that face. The guy from Finance Department who go out in his way to get London to go out on a date with him. To me he is pushy. A guy who can't take a no for an answer. He showed a slight disgust on his face , covering it with a fake smile. "Ah sorry" He apologised shyly. Knowing his true face, i didnt even respond. "How rude." "He apologised and didnt say anything!!" "Who she think she is!!" "No wonder she is so ugly!!" I frozed right on the spot " Just like her ugly personality!?!" I heard snickering "No wonder nobody want to be her friend?" "Who want to be friends with that ugly face of hers" The gossiping got louder. "Are you done?" London snapped "You talking as if you know her that well?" One of the female co-worker said "Ah but" "But what .... she doesnt like talking that much.. how can you say something like this... dont you have shame?" London sneered as her co-workers embarrassed."Saph are you finish eating. Let go we have more work to do!!" They both got up leaving the co-workers stunned and embarrased. Meanwhile this blond hair guy, fist his hand into anger, gritting his teeth, glaring at the ugly woman. The women were on their way to head to their department heading toward the elevator. "Mr. Blake, we are graceful to have you here in our company."

"It has been an honor". A deep baritone voice responded. I recognised this voice that makes my body trembled in fear, trying not to remember the past has been haunting her for years. She faced this man, this tall, 6'4 height light tan skin tone, masculine , had his business pomper black wavy hair, wearing his 3 peice gray suit. The worse of all, his masculine features that show off his cold gray eyes , sharp nose and

thin lips. We made eye contact. I watch his business like face turn into a mocking smile. I shivered. The only man that i hate every strand of my fibre is no other than this man..... Jonathon Blake.
