Secrets you Keep.

Humans! What wonderful creatures!

“ What's he in for this time, Agatha?”. Mr Bellingham inquired from the black woman who sat behind a desk. “If I were you, Eric, I'd give that boy a real ass whooping. He goes in and out of jail like it's a restaurant. I have other things to do and I really can't be bothered. But now I have a reason to be. You see, he's not just in for another club fight, although this time he put more people in the hospital, it turns out that James is allegedly aiding The Resistance mafia”.

“What? That's the most feared group in the country. They're wanted everywhere!”. I yelled in shock. I turned to Mr Bellingham and he was downcast. So much for my cheerful mood this morning.

“You bet. And if he gets convicted this time, he may be gone for a very long time”. Agatha stated with a sigh. She was happy, I could hear it. She felt he deserved it. But she also felt bad for Mr. Bellingham.

"We would like to speak to him". I said as I put a reassuring arm on Mr Bellingham's shoulder.

The culprit was out soon enough in jail overall and his arms in chains. Agatha excused us to have our conversation ." Yo pops! Now don't get mad. I just had a little misunderstanding with some guys at the club last night. No one's dead, though". James announced with a smile that made me want to vomit. "You've been nothing but a disgrace to our entire Family. I'm cancelling out all your credit cards. Your cars, everything you own. I'll leave you with a roof over your head though, but it's not your house, but our family house. You have a choice, stay in the streets or go back there. Maybe that'll show you what life is truly about. That's if you eventually come out of jail. I'll be outside Miss". Mr Bellingham said and exited the building. He loved his son. Humans can be so annoying sometimes. Oh wait, I'm human.

"Wait, pops, chill out man. Why you gotta do me like that?". He yelled. I just stood as I watched him. He didn't feel remorseful. Not even an inch. He turned to me as he noticed my gaze.

"What are you staring at b***h?".

"A living disappointment". I shot back

"Who the hell do you even think you are?".

I smiled as I walked up to him and pressed the pointy edge of my heels into his feet until it bled. "Hi! I'm Alexis Chesterfield of Chesterfield Empire Magazine.

"What the....". He said as he yelped in pain. "You're in luck I'm in chains right now, slut".

I glanced at my watch. I didn't have the time to play with him.

"I know you. I see you on the news. Don't think you can get away with anything because you're some big shot. You're just a daddy's girl who can't do anything for herself "

"And you're just a piece of semen your mum refused to swallow". I replied as I put on my sunglasses. "I'll be off now, Sweetheart; I promise to come visit before you're finally off to jail for the remaining years of your existence. Bye now". I said as I exited the building.

"Your Son is a real piece of work". I told Mr Bellingham as I entered the car.

"Tell me about it". He replied.

I got to the office by lunchtime and I headed straight to the cafeteria. All that talking got me hungry, and Yes, I eat lunch with my employees. It's not my fault, our cafeteria food tastes really good. My face lit up as I saw the delicious meals. They looked so enticing. I dished myself some Chicken and Pasta and sat at a table. My assistant ran in just as I was stuffing my face with food.

"I waited hours for you ma'am". Lily Anderson, my Nerdy assistant, said to me.

"I just arrived".

"And you came here immediately?".

"Of course, I was starving". I said as I bit into a piece of chicken.

"You never cease to amaze me, ma'am". She said with a smile.

She was a pure soul who adored me. One of those rare people whose words matched their thoughts.

"I know, right. Is anything the problem, Lily? Have you had lunch?". I inquired

" Yes, I have. I came to show you the list of candidates who passed the initial screening and are ready to be screened by you".

"Nice. I'll be up in five minutes, or make it ten. I might need another plate of this delicious pasta". I replied as I emptied my plate.

"Noted, ma'am". She giggled as she left.

After eating more food, I looked around and saw everyone enjoying their food. It was a nice sight to see, but something caught my eye. An intern was being bullied. He was being sent to get food for the rest of his superiors.

I watched him go to the counter and place their orders. I walked up to him. "Wow, are you eating all these yourself?". I inquired with a smirk.

He was nervous, so I smiled.

"No ma'am....um...it's for my superiors...".

"I see that's nice. I'll help you carry the rest of the food trays".

"No....ma'am I couldn't do that, you're my boss ".

"Well, I didn't ask you now, did I? I made a statement, so let's go".

He said nothing as I carried the rest of the trays and followed behind him.

The look of disdain on the face of his superior gladdened my heart. I dropped the tray so hard on the table that it made a loud noise, and all its contents poured out. "This company does not tolerate Bullies". I started with a serious look. "So I'll give you all two choices, either allow him to learn from your team as a human with equal rights as you or lose your jobs due to bad conduct in the workplace ".

They apologized instantly and I stormed off, leaving my card with the intern.

I walked into my office, where Lily was waiting.

"Ready to crush some dreams and fulfil some dreams, ma'am?" She asked in excitement.

"Sure, let's begin".
