||chapter two||

Life is full of mess, Mr. Grace and Ms. Max are very angry about my behavior at the previous night party. They gave more duties and files that keep in, and every mistake is a bonus that makes a way to get insulted by them. CHINESE people are here to make contracts with us. I was instructed to arrange all the help they need.

There is a total of four people. Three of them are men and one is a woman. I was impressed by their punctuality. They were living in a hotel. In the morning I brought them to our office for our first meeting. CEO Lorenzo and his fiancée Melinda were discussing with those Chinese investors. After a two-hour meeting, they went to Italian restaurant. One of those three people is tall yet thin, he always looks at me in a menacing way. Every time I noticed he is staring at me, well that was bad, staring at someone is very bad (I am saying to you)

“Victoria, our guests want to travel here and there. Can you go with them today evening?” Lorenzo asked me. I know he is pretending to be kind, but actually he ordered me in a sugar-coated way. I am going to play with him also, bitch Enzo just wait and watch. “Yes, I can but our guests will be happier if you join us. Isn’t Mrs. Jacob?” I asked that Chinese woman who was smiling at me and nodded her head in an affirmative way. Lorenzo clenched his jaw with anger but acted as if he was ok with this roaming around… Lorenzo told us, “Let’s go then… We will go to all the visiting places”. We start our journey from museum….We were in an antique shop and I was seeing a petals statue but I felt someone touching my Cheech and tilted my head to see who is this person and there was standing so close to me that thin-long Chinese investor named Kim Lee who was smirked at me and spook “ Do you like this statue? I wanted to buy it for you?”

“Excuse me, Kim Lee. Don’t touch me and keep your distance please” I said to him in an authoritative tone with an angry face but I tried to avoid this situation just because of my job but Kim is a shameless person who took this behavior as my weakness and held my hand, only kissed it. I jerked my hand strongly from him but he is a pervert, before he took any further steps Lorenzo came and punched his face. Oh! Goodness don’t tell me now Enzo broke his nose.

“Kim screamed “How dare you / you punched me!” “I am going to break your face”, Enzo screamed back to Kim. “What kind of behavior? You are breaking formal ethics, are you daring to lose your contract?” Kim asked Enzo angrily. “Screw your contract. We are no longer in any kind of agreement”. Enzo replied to Kim. What Enzo did! Melinda will be angry wreck now

“Sir, relax. Don’t do this, mom will get angry.” I said to Enzo. “That is none of your business”, he arrogantly replied back to me. still a jerk Enzo

We came back to our respective places at night and I refreshed myself and went to bed to call off the night.

________________________------------------------___________________________

Today there is little chili outside. Sipping on my coffee I peeked outside but saw Melinda Max was entered in an elevator with a built-tanned hunk who’s name I guess Evan Jace. This is happening in our office after the Kim incident happens in our life. Surprisingly Melinda mam reacted positively and told us to forget it. I guess Melinda is busy with something else. I got suspicious, so I followed her and hid behind her cabin door and tried to listen “what they were saying. I noted everything in my diary. I need to buy a CC camera mentally I told myself.

After my office, on the way home I bought a CC Camera and wrote me to-list in my diary about tomorrow.

At 7’o clock I reached the office, then I set that cc camera on Melinda’s room. I am going to make a different folder every day’s cc camera record and save it in my folder. Every day after seeing those records I got goosebumps. What is Melinda up to do? How can it be so horrible?

This is it, back to my present situation I recorded Melinda’s doing almost forty days and I was not going to remove that cc camera not so soon but Melinda made a decision that she wanted to change her cabin. This is the reason today I was coming office early morning and remove that cc camera, hide it on my inner shirt pocket but, but Melinda saw me because she was also early arrived office today without notice, thus, I got caught by her. Melinda shouted Lorenzo’s name and dragged me out of her cabin. Lorenzo came hurriedly into her cabin’s front lobby and stood by us. “What are you doing in my cabin without my permission? Do you steak anything? Show me, now”, Melinda demanded and took my bag in her hand to check what I took. “Victoria, why are you in her cabin? You shouldn’t” Lorenzo told me in a very calm voice.

“I promise, I have no bad intentions. I was here because of I lost my good luck

Teddy, I lost it in your cabin Mam”, I said to them in a timid voice. I was playing the victim and showing them, I am innocent. “Check her pants and coat pocket”, Melinda ordered Enzo but I spoke firstly, “Don’t come to me, you are dirty. I have OCD, I will be unconscious if you touch me with dirt. '' They knew me as I am an obsessed about cleanliness and very picky about my tidiness, so they bought a lie. I further added, “Check our office cc camera Mam. Please Mam.” They shared a look. Almost one hour later they came back to me from their personal discussion and declared I am innocent but I lost my position not my job. I will transfer from the USA office to the UK office.

This is the decision I am talking about with you at the very first of my story and you know what I may have declared as innocent in their eyes . I tricked them in reality, I stole Melinda’s secret that is more valuable than any other thing in her cabin but how I keep myself safe! Do you want to know? I am telling you, listen how I did it, I entered her room and pretended to find my teddy, yes, I was keeping with me a lucky charm because it is safe for me. Then I acted sad and held that flower vase which was on her table and very carefully took out that cc camera and hid it in my shirt pocket. Oh, that cc camera was a tiny pen cc.

Melinda and Lorenzo gave me transferred papers to work at the UK's office. I will travel tomorrow and start a new journey.
