I HATE YOU

LINDY: So are you ready to give me your full month salary?

KELLY: It's not noon yet. Our bet is up until 12NN.

LINDY: Hahaha.

Keep on fighting girl.

You only have 15 more minutes left.

😹

Kelly did not reply back from Lindy's last messages in skype.

She pouted her lips

She has been waiting all morning for the CEO's reply but none. She looked for him in skype and he has been offline 18 hours ago.

Is it about time to say goodbye to her monthly salary?

She wanted to cry.

And cry she did when the clock hits 12NN and she got no response from the CEO.

She cried up to her hearts content.

The whole Global Mobility department can hear her loud sobbing. Some of her team mates consoled her and coaxed Lindy to just get half of her salary but her friend has no heart at all and said that 'Bet is a bet'

Some have advised that she can start having a packed lunch from home in able to survive the whole month of no salary.

Which she did.

She had 'canned tuna' for lunch on Monday. She had 'boiled egg and tomato' for lunch on Tuesday. 'meatloaf' on Wednesday, 'hotdog' on Thursday then 'cornbeef' on Friday.

These sets of meal goes on and on for almost a month and she was getting frustrated because she missed having steak.

.....

'Hey Kelly, you're getting slim." Johnny said when he saw her at the elevator on the way down. Office hour was over and time to go home.

"Of course!" She said smugly.

"What's your secret? Care to share?" He asked curiously.

She looked at her surroundings and when she saw that they were handful of people, she whispered to Johnny her reason to slim down. He laughed when she heard her reason but was trying to suppress it since they were inside the elevator but as soon as they came out from the elevator when they reached the lobby, Johnny can't help but laughed insanely. She can't help but joined him. Because her situation was so laughable and pathetic.

"You see, that's the only thing that you have to do." She said.

'I really love your fighting spirit girl. Imagine, you bet your full month salary for a date with a CEO." Johnny's voice was so loud and made everyone at the lobby looked at his direction.

She closed his mouth with her palm.

"Can you please lower down your voice?" She said with annoyance on her tone. She started hating herself for her self-excude confidence but she hated the CEO more because of this misfortune.

Johnny laughed. "Let me treat you to dinner tonight."

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Really?" She asked while her eyes were glistening. "Don't treat me at fastfood!"

"Demanding!"

"I missed eating steak for lunch. You see I don't have much protein in my body now and any moment I'll get myself sicked." She said on her most pitiful way.

Johnny rolled his eyes.

"Who's fault was that."

"Mine." She said as she lowered her head.

"Okay let me treat you in one of the michelin restaurants!"Johnny said when he saw her at her most pitiful look.

"Wow!" She exclaimed in happiness. "Let's go then." She hook her left arms into his as they headed out.

....

"I just really can't believe that our CEO hasn't replied to my email until now. I have sent it almost a month ago." She said in a loud voice because she had lost her temper while she was having dinner with Johnny in one of the michelin restaurants.

"Did he read your email?" Johnny asked her.

"Yeah. He did' she said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I received a read receipt from him but he ignored it."

Johnny nodded. "Uhm, yeah it seems that he just ignored it."

"I couldn't believe that he doesn't have a word of honor."

"And I couldn't believe that you had taken his words seriously." Johnny said in disbelief.

"You can't blame me. I grew up in a household where our parent has teached us to trust everyone's word. I just didn't expect that someone as mighty as him will not honor his words and because of that I came to this hopeless state."

"Lesson learned?" Johnny asked her

"Yes. I'm not gonna trust that CEO's word ever again. I hate him!" She declared.

"Why would you hate him?"

"He made me deprived from eating delicious food. He made me ate all canned goods for almost a month, how can I not hate him?" She said angrily.

Johnny looked at her angry face and found her amusing. He couldn't believe that they were still people in this world who was still as gullible like her.

"That Bruno Monteclaro! Don't he dare appear in front of me and he is dead!"
