16 CHAPTER 16
CEDRIAN POV
I head to the duty room and find everyone talking about the office incident. As soon as I enter, they notice my presence and become quiet, I ignore them and head for my locker.
“Is it truth that Miss Rosewell seduce you in her office???” annoying Pedro asks.
“Is it true that your English is handicapped?” I ask him
“Yes English is bad but my Spanish is perfect," he replies
This dude is so Annoying and stupid, he can not even differentiate an insult from a question, I simply take a breather and continue changing.
“Are you going home, or you've been fired, these rich people always blame the victims, you should fight Ced you should fight them, Pedro will help you.”
“No one has fired me Pedro.”
“Then why you change into your own clothes?”
“Have been given the rest of the day off by Mr Vincent.”
“Wow! Ced you are one lucky man, first the big boss seduced you and now the second boss gives you off, what kind of ancestors do you pray to??
“Would you stop saying seduced, no one seduced me, she attacked me, that woman is crazy.”
“People saying, you shirtless and she was on top of you doing things,” Pedro says smiling
“Go and enroll in an English class and leave me alone Pedro, I have to go now, I will come and fill you in tomorrow.”
I look around and I notice that everyone was listening to my conversation with Pedro, they are all angry that I have been given a day off I assume.
"So the new Cinderella has been given the rest of the day off, listen Mexican Barbie doll, you are not going to last in this company,'' says Steve who seems to be the head of these Cleaning losers.
“I'm not in the mood for this jealous chit chat Stevo, leave that to the women, Okay buddy,” I pat his back and take my leave.
I make sure to increase my steps so as to not give him room to respond. I text uncle Philipe about my day, of course I exaggerate the all incidence out of proportion. I know cousin Vincent has already filled him in. I just don't get why the two of them have to fill each other in on my issues, it's very irritating.
I put my phone in my pocket, and I'm about to catch a cab. Out of nowhere I see the serpent rushing towards me, she immediately stops really close to me, like really close that I can feel her breath and her heart beating so fast.
What's up with this woman, I hope she does not start up her shit outside here in front of all these people. She is just staring at me without saying any word. She swallows hard and I can hear her gullet throbbing. I'm waiting for her to say something but nothing comes out of her venomous mouth.
This lady must be a mental patient or something, I'm definitely not going to say anything. I'm curious to know what level of madness she is on.
We stare at each other for longer than normal then miss Page comes over to save her friend from her madness
“Hello Cedrian, it's good to see that you are okay now.”
“Thanks miss Page, Mr Vincent gave me the rest of the day off, I really need to recover,” I say out while stretching my arm.
The serpent is just staring at me in silence, this woman is really a total case.
“Good bye, Miss Page I have to catch a cab, I'm meeting up with someone and they are waiting for me.”
“Alright Cedrian, you can take your leave, see you tomorrow,” Page replies and I take my leave.
I look back, and to my surprise the serpent is still staring at me, she is really scaring me now so I increase my steps and get in the cab as quickly as I can.
Whilst inside the cab I receive a text from uncle Philipe, he is already at the photo studio waiting for me, So I tell the cab driver to drive fast.
At the photo studio I find him with cousin Leisha, I do not remember asking him to bring her along. This country has got a set of really Annoying people and Leisha tops the list.
“Hello Cedito are you alright?” uncle Philipe asks with a worried face.
“I'm alive,” I reply.
“That's great, Vincent has already filled me in though his version is slightly different, but he has assured me that he will solve this issue by tomorrow.”
“Why I'm I not surprised,”
“I just don't get why You did not beat her up,” Leisha asks laughing.
“Hey hey Leisha, Where I come from we do not beat up women, I am a gentleman.”
“I'm sorry Cedi I was only joking, if you need anything i'm here for you, no one is going to fire you not after what I heard from Vincent. I will make sure your story reaches every media in this country."
“Great at least you are useful now, I was debating in my head and trying to figure out why uncle brought you along. So let's go on, cousin Vincent gave me a day off and I plan to utilize it.”
“Leisha hope you brought money with you, we are here to take photos of all the wounds that serpent inflicted on me before they fade.”
“Seriously Ced??? Vincent said he will handle this, I thought you brought us here for family photos,” uncle Philipe says disappointed.
“Uncle Philipe I just got physically assaulted, we can come for family photos on a better day, come on let's go in before they close.”
“But Cedi, if you really needed photos we would have taken them with my phone or the little digital camera at home,” Leisha adds.
“Leisha I want high resolution and large portrait photos that will highlight every bruise inflicted on me.”
They both stop walking and stare at me like I have said something insulting.
“Cedito I think you are........
“Uncle Philipe, this is just backup in case your best friend Vincent fails to reason with that witch. Do you know that on my way here she practically stopped me at the entrance and looked at me for like five minutes without opening her mouth?”
“What really??? why would she do that?”
“You have to file a restraining order,” Leisha adds.
“That's the owner of the company Leisha, how could he do that.” Uncle Philipe asks.
“Dad I know Alexis, she is a crazy nut case, she was practically stalking him.”
“At least we agree on something Leshia,” I state as I walk in.
“Come on guys, when Vincent says he will handle her, he will handle her, now let's get these photos for Cedito and head home.”
We enter the studio and I explain to the photographer how I want my photos and the size, I take off my shirt and the cameraman gets to work.
After he is done he hands us the portrait size photos which leaves everyone quiet
“Cedi ain't you supposed to be showing pain or something, these photos look like some model posing for a commercial or something,” Leshia asks
Uncle Philipe just nodes
“Uncle, please caution your daughter for me, where there is an assault victim she is seeing a model and salivating, that's very inappropriate.” I yell out.
“Leisha just pay for the photos, I'm hungry, let's go eat something, uncle Philipe says walking away.”
Leisha gives me faces and goes to pay for the photos.
