Always been love

Goodbye Mr Condos Jnr

Mrs Simpson gave me a card with the Sebastian Corp logo and the logo of the Cafe I was eating at in the morning yesterday, it was some sort of employee treatment because she told me to buy myself something and the Cafe will know of her order and that of our boss so I walked to the cafe downstairs and I ordered my food and waited but Sebastian’s and Mrs Simpson’s were already prepared. After maybe 10 minutes my name was called and I took my food and walked out. I arrived at Mrs Simpson’s station and she was not there so I just left her food there meaning I had to go give the boss his food. The floor was so quiet it scared me because it was only the three of us and especially after that incident in the office. I won’t lie I’ve never been that scared in my whole entire life. I’m not easily scared and I don’t pry at people’s businesses I was only concerned about him but I guess he hated that I saw him vulnerable even if it was for semi seconds. I don’t know how I’ll face him. I dropped my food the on my table and went to the floor’s kitchen to get drinks for us. I was told he likes Coke so I took out coke for the both of us. I left my food on my table and took his and knocked on his door, no answer so you know what I did. I just got in. He was still working, still looking stiff I wished I’d message him to make him relax. His tie has been loosened a little and his air is shuffled up like someone who’s frustrated. I was even scared to say something so I just put the food and drink on an empty space. No thank you so I decided to speak.

‘Mr Condos I want to apologize about earlier it was not my place to worry about your feelings. I promise in the future I’ll just do what you hired me to and what was actually in the contract. I’m sorry.’ He still didn’t acknowledge my presence or reply. This is childish and it hurts so I just turn my heels against him and start walking out.

‘Ms Marcello.’ his soft voice stops me when I’m about to drab the handle.

‘Why did you leave your own job? Did your smart mouth cost you?’ he said still that cold look on his face. I hate people who assume things about me and I’m in the verge of crying as anger builds but I won’t let him see my weakness which is what people think about me so I just chuckle giving him the same cold look back.

‘ see that’s the thing, you only met me yesterday but you think you’ve already figured me out because of a stupid incident that you were also at fault of. I don’t have a smart mouth for starters but I don’t tolerate disrespect and that’s all you’ve shown me here resulting to your assumption. I only asked you if you’re okay because no one ever asks me that and I wanted to make someone feel better but I saw you didn’t need that so I apologized. Now what do you want from me? Boss.’ I said sarcastically.

‘Anything I can do for you?’ I said when he didn’t reply, he seemed taken back but again looked unfazed in a second.

‘You can start by packing your belongings, you’re fired.’ He said like he just said something cool as he leaned back on his chair. I was shocked for a minute but I understood because my attitude was really bad and that was no way to talk to a boss. I nodded and walked out of his office. I took my laptop bag and my handbag as they were the only things I had. I just started working today and I’m already fired. I walked back to his office and he gave me a questioning look. He was really pissed! Why can’t he just see that I was concerned about a human being leaving his status behind?

‘ I came to apologize...’

‘I’m not changing my mind.’ he said with a bored expression.

‘No I don’t want you to. You asked me what I did to lose my previous job and I’m telling you now that I quit for some personal reasons but the most important reason I quit was respect. No matter how young or old you are,once you show disrespect to me I see you in a different way but that was not the case to you. I guess I’ll say this because I’m fired anyway.’ I say chucking but he still kept the same face so I gulped and continued.

‘ I saw arrogance and an ego which is something I’m used to in all lot of men but in my heart I knew something was there that you were trying to hide it. I might not have figured it out but when I mentioned your father I saw a glimpse of your personality and personal life and just as a decent human being I was concerned. I agree I may have overstepped my boundaries with also the way I talked to you which I wouldn’t like if roles were reversed so I apologize. I’m not usually like that, I usually tell people their business smiling so I don’t know what happened.’ I said smiling. I saw a little emotion in his eyes before he did what he does best, hiding it.

‘ I’d fire myself too so I understand and I hope one day if we cross paths you’d at least know how to say good morning. Goodbye Mr Condos Jnr.’ I said looking down on his desk placing the contract he gave me without giving him a glance I walked out with my tears flowing. He may or he may not have seen the tears but I didn’t know why I was crying because I kinda admit I deserved this and I don’t know why it hurt this much. It only hurts like this only when I miss my mom. I quickly took a tissue in my bag and wiped my tears, I was lucky I didn’t know how to use makeup so I wasn’t wearing any. I passed Mrs Simpson’s desk and she was not there and I think I was glad because I didn’t have the energy to talk about anything. I took a lift to the ground floor and no one was there, seems like everyone is on lunch. I walked to the exit and the guard from the morning waved at me and I waved back. Only if you knew, I said inside laughing but what was on the outside was disastrous. I couldn’t hold the tears anymore. I had come to NYC to prove my Dad and his stupid money wrong and now I just messed things up on the first day. I wiped my tears again when I saw my ride arrive. You’d be surprised to know I have a car but I hate driving! I got in the Uber after greeting the driver. I had a feeling of consciousness as if someone was watching me but I brushed it off. Girl you’ve never even had a secret admirer or a stalker in your stupid life! I say to myself and chuckle. The driver must think I’m crazy. I’m trying so hard to distract myself from thinking about today but the tears can’t stop building up as I get off my Uber. I arrive at home and just throw myself on the couch. I don’t know why I’m crying? I apologized and took responsibility of my actions or is it my future self disappointed? or mom? Mom!!!! I scream, none of this would’ve happened if my father had been true to his vows and protected us. I will never forgive him maybe he’s even one of the reasons I feel like a failure. He always gave me money to shut me up, you’d think as an only child your daddy would love you but he loved his mistresses more than my mom and I. He destroyed us. I cried thinking how my mom is feeling about me jeopardizing the only chance I’ll ever get to bring my dad down. Those were not my initial thoughts, I just wanted work but after looking at those files of the Sebastian Corp I saw they were a threat and more to bring the man I call my father. I will revenge my mom and my childhood. I don’t know what happened I was suddenly hit by a headache but everything went black with tears still flowing down losing my view.
