Stay Far Away
Her eyes had turned red and she felt her her heart literally crawl up to her throat, she saw death so close yet she kept slapping his hand hoping he let go of her neck. At the end, he let go of his arms. She couldn’t help but cough repeatedly. What’s with her mother? She had just mentioned her mother’s name and he suddenly got angry.
When she balanced herself, she asked, “sir… Did my mom also offend you?”
He walked away from her without saying a word. Whereas, Ivan was still standing.
“Mr. Ivan, I am only just escaping a problem but it seems I’ve got into another one. Do you have an idea why Mr. Ragnar is angry at the mention of my mother’s name?” She added, “plus I noticed he asked of my mother’s name after you whispered something to his ear.”
Brigitta was already regretting making Ragnar Marshall pay her grandmother’s healthbill, now she will be in his debt for as long as God knows when.
“I would have told you.” Ivan responded.
“What’s stopping you, Mr. Ivan. Please tell me so I can know what to do.” She requested.
“If you want me to tell you, you must allow me to cut your children’s hair and perform a DNA test. My instinct tells me that your kids could be for Mr. Ragnar.” Ivan said and added, “if they aren’t for him, then you shouldn’t even have any problem with me performing a DNA test.”
“And here we are again.” Brigitta said with a contorted face. “Ragnar Marshall believed strongly the kids aren’t for him. He told me his weaknesses as regarding giving birth to babies so what makes you think my kids will be for him?”
“My master believed he’s cursed but I believed it’s those women he had mated with in the past that are cursed.” Ivan said, “Brigitta, just let me do this and I promise that you will find my favor.”
“Excuse me.” Brigitta walked away from him. She thought that Ivan had push this matter aside but it seems he was still hellbent on finding whom the father of her kids was. What in the world is his business? She was a little worried that Ivan may cut her children’s hair secretly again but even more, she was worried about Ragnar Marshall who seemed to be angry at the mention of her mother’s name.
On a new Monday morning, when Brigitta resumed work. She could sense that there was a change in the atmosphere, everyone seemed to be talking about something in particular. Despite not being the gossip type, she had to ask, “what’s going on?”
The lady she asked responded, “you are aware the assistant director was fired and jailed, right? Another assistant director has been employed.”
The lady talking added, “and she’s a very beautiful and stunning lady. The few people that had seen her just can’t get enough of her view.”
“Wow!” She exclaimed and began to concentrate back to her desk. Someone suddenly shouted, “the new AD is almost here,” by AD, the person meant assistant director.
Every staffs in the department immediately set their gaze to the door, then a gorgeous lady walked in, her splendor radiated round the room. She was accompanied by three senior staffs. One of the senior staffs spoke, “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Here is Miss. Cassie, the company’s new assistant director.”
Everyone immediately clapped and cheered for her. Her cloth looked very expensive and her light make up was excellent. She looked so glorified that her beauty radiates the eyes of the male staffs. But unlike other staffs, Brigitta was extremely shocked to see the new assistant director. Cassie? Cassie was her ex bestfriend. The one who alongside her stepsister had threesome with her ex-husband.
It was Cassie who had called her five years ago telling her to come to the club and that she had a surprise for her. She had gone gleefully not knowing that she’s about to have her worst experience. Since she return to Jaro City, she had not seen Cassie neither had she seen any reason to meet with her. Cassie betrayed her and she loathes her with passion.
Yet now, this Cassie turned out to be the new assistant director. She watched as Cassie was being lead by senior staffs outside of her department hall. Brigitta was so lost in thought that she didn’t know Cassie had been looking at her. When she picked, she saw Cassie smile at her and then got escorted away.
“Why was she looking at you?” Some staffs who enjoyed gossiping more than working immediately rallied around her and asked.
“I have no idea,” she answered.
About an hour later, Brigitta received an invite from the new assistant director. She had honestly been expecting that. Soon, she was before her office.
Once she knocked, a voice came from inside, “come in.”
She twisted the knob and walked in.
“My friend.” Cassie stood from her seat and hugged her. Brigitta didn’t reject the hug but she didn’t hug back. It seemed that fate enjoyed slapping her, how can one of her bosses turns out to be her ex bestfriend.
“Come on! why is your face cold?” Cassie asked with a refreshing smile on her lips, “I know we have been away from eachother for many years, but that doesn’t mean we are enemies.”
Brigitta was very angry at her pretense. As if she didn’t know what she did to her. Yet, Brigitta was calm. She didn’t even put a strong face on, she just stood elegantly.
Cassie sighed when she saw that Brigitta remained quiet then she went to sit, “okay, have your sit at least.”
“Thank you,” Brigitta walked over to sit and then looked at her boldly.
“Brigitta, I know you are angry cause your sister and I fucked your husband.”
“Ex-husband.” She corrected.
“Pardon me. I forgot you are now married to the wretched and bed stricken last son of the Wigglesworth’s family. It’s so sad.” She insulted stylishly.
Brigitta’s lips curled up into a smirk. If only she knows that the wretched and bed stricken last son of the Wigglesworth’s family that she had just described is actually the CEO here, she wouldn’t say this.
“What’s funny?” Cassie asked on seeing her facial expression.
“Nothing.” She answered and asked, “May I know why I’m here?”
“Just so you know, it was your ex husband who helped me find my way here. He said he didn’t feel comfortable with your relationship with Mr. Ubba. He wants me to seduce Mr. Ubba and make him mine. Do you think that can work, babe?” Cassie asked.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Brigitta smirked again, “May I ask why I’m actually here again cause I have lots of works to do.”
Cassie smirked, “we will both be here for a long time….” She added, “I can make your life a living hell here but I can also make it a bed of roses. And don’t forget that this company is the biggest in the continent, if your name is blacklisted here, you are doomed for life.”
Brigitta sighed, “I guess I should leave.”
Cassie hummed, “I must give it to you, you are smart. For you to get the attention of Mr. Ubba… You are really smart. But I’ll advise you to now stay far away from him. Failure to do so…”
Brigitta stood and said, “bye, miss Cassie.” She then walked out.
Cassie hit her table angrily cause of how Brigitta had reacted. She gritted her teeth in anger and mumbled, “Brigitta, better do as I have advised or I won’t even hesitate to kill you.” Afterall, before Alex Roberto helped her find a way here, they had an heavy agreement with him so she must perform her task deligently and be successful at it. Plus if a man like Ragnar Marshall likes her, then her status will even reach the sky.
