MATES

02 - Zana

"Hey! look where you're going!" I yell at the woman who hit me.

I was knocked down by the force of her

collision, but I never heard her apologize.

"b***h!" I stood up and shook my clothes, which were now drenched in dirt.

Because my clothes are white, they appear dirtier; it is not a problem if I get dirty; the only issue is that my clothes are white.

It's just unappealing to look at.

"You're already here," a woman who

greeted me in front of the large door said.

"No, I'm not here yet; see, don't you? I'm already here? What was the point of saying that?" I sarcastically replied to her, after raising eyebrow at her.

So annoying!

A fool collided with me, and there was

another fool in front of me; they could make a good combination.

"The boss is waiting for you inside," said the man who had just appeared in front of me.

He is muscular and tall, and he also has good looks. But, worthless perhaps only his good looks are known, and who knows that he was also a stupid i***t like them?

"And you are?" I asked the man, raising one eyebrow.

"West. West Sung, head guardian," he simply replied.

"How about you?" I asked the woman next to him.

"Chung Cha, a noble," she grumbled.

"Yeah, whatever, where's the office? Let's go," I said, walking over to them first, thinking I knew where we were going.

But all I really want is to get away from them. I became even more irritated when I discovered their positions. Those in positions of power are avaricious. They don't care if they get hurt others.

"Don't even murmur! I can still hear you!" I grumbled as I continued to walk.

"But how?"

"It's none of your business."

The further we went, the farther and farther away I became piss, literally. And I even forgot to bring my earphones.

Fuck this!

I looked at them to see if they were talking, but they weren't. I can hear them thinking!

"Is she all right?" I heard the noble speak, but she was talking to herself. Using her brain. "What the hell is wrong with her?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?!?" I was really mad when I face her, which surprised her. "Stop thinking! It's annoying!"

"What the hell is wrong with you? You startled me! You know, I'm just holding back on your behavior but you're too much!" She was enraged as she stared at me angrily. And so I am.

Someone said, "Stop fighting." So I turned to see who it was.

"I'm the Jefes of this organization, and I'm the one who called you by," he said quietly. He only spoke to me with his mind.

"What the hell?!"

"Aren't you still used to what's going on with you?" Jefes asked as we entered his office. It was spacious and lovely, with more chandeliers, picture frames, and bookcases.

This place smell richness.

"No," I replied, rather rudely. "Don't tell me you ordered them to do this to me?" I asked, my face tense.

With a shake of his head, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation. "Of course not. I ordered someone to save you from your situation, and I sent you to a secret secret place to be treated and returned to your former self, but we failed to return you to normal..." He came to a halt and looked out the window.

"... which is why I summoned you here today because you need to know something important."

"So what?" I asked, irritably.

"You will receive an envelope which contains important details. Once you've opened your envelope, you won't be able to return it. Once you've read the contents, your answer is already direct."

I laughed sarcastically. "What kind of nonsense is this? Jefes, whoever you are, we're not in the fiction world; we're in reality! And what are you talking about?! I'm normal! And what's with the envelope? What's with the envelope?!?" I was irritated when he replied. I couldn't care less who he is.

"You'll care when you get it," he said as he sat in the swivel chair in front of me.

"Starting today, you will stay here until you receive the envelope; I've already prepared a room for you; and if you have no further questions, you may now leave."

I was irritated and left his office. And was even more irritated after he explained why he called me. Yes, he did help me, but I couldn't bear the thought of someone like him assisting me.

I also cannot accept being with him in the next coming days. Being with them.

When I arrived at the room to which the woman had directed me, she handed me the key and the items I would need for tonight.

"If you need anything else, just let me know, ms; they also told me to give your suitcase to you later when it arrives..."

My brow furrowed as I listened to her modest and polite conversation with me.

"Are you a helper here?" I asked, sitting on the bed and staring at her. She was dressed in a white gown with her hair tied in a ponytail. Her shoes, too, are filthy.

"A-ah, I'm just everyone's assistant," she tried to smile. "Do you need anything else, ms? 'cause I need to do something important and if you don't need anything else, please excuse me."

"All right, go. I don't need anything anyway, and one more thing, you don't have to be respectful. We are all humans, and humans are equal. Always remember that."

"Noted, ms. Goodbye," she said as she turned her back on me.

"Wait!" She stop. "I'm Zana, and you are?"

She face me. "Joy, nice meeting you Zana," she said as she waved goodbye.

When Joy left, I simply decided to clean my body. Because of what had happened earlier, I had lost my mind and had forgotten that my clothes were filthy.

I stood up and entered a room that, if I'm not mistaken, was a bathroom. When I turned the door knob, a large bathroom was revealed. It's no surprise that the bathroom is so spacious.

... because they are, after all, wealthy...

I immediately immersed myself after filling the bathtub with water and placing a bath bomb in it.

"It feels good..."

I was also in the bath tub for a few hours until I decided to get out and rinse. I took the robe and wrapped it around my naked body after thoroughly rinsing it.

When I came out of the bathroom, I looked for the shirt Joy had given me, with its black and white striped long sleeves and ripped jeans.

And, there was a note on the shirt, which I took and read the words 'eat a lot and sleep a lot.'

I chuckled a little.

Since I arrived here. This is the first time I smiled, and she was the reason behind it.

After I had finished getting dressed, there was a loud banging on the door of my room. I became alarmed right away and quickly picked up a heavy object on the table.

It was a candlestick holder. And it was extremely heavy for a holder. What the hell is this? Gold?

"What do you need?!" I yelled. But received no response. The loud thud of knock was still around.

I decided to came closer and tried to hear if I could hear up on anything what's the fucker thinking, but I couldn't hear anything.

"I said. What do you need?!" I repeat. "Speak you piece of s**t! You're about to crush the whole f*****g door!"

"Who the hell are you?! Why are you inside of my room?!" My forehead creased as I hear a voice from a woman.

"The hell?! This is my room! Not yours! Stop ruining my night! Get lost b***h!"

"What the hell are you saying?! Don't you know who I am?!"

I opened the door because I was irritated by of what she said, while the other hand of mine was still holding the candleholder. Despite the fact that it was slipping into my hand, I tightened my grip on it.

"I don't mind who—"

"You?!" We both yelled back at the same time.

"Why are you here?" I demanded angrily. "After you yelled at me earlier, the audacity you have! and this room you want to claim?! Because you're a noble?"

"Hey! For your information, you began shouting at me! I'm not doing anything to you! of course, I have to defend myself!"

When he walked in, I was slightly converted. "Get out! You're the one who needs to leave!"

"There's no need to leave." I was stuck in my position when West entered, if I'm not mistaken. His name is West.

"Jefes decided to keep her here for a while, my lady, because she doesn't have anyone roommate for the meantime." he explained calmly.

"And Ms. Zana," he turned to face me, "Jefes is calling you; he's right now in the garden, where you can see him."

"What more nonsense will he say?"

"Just come and find out," he said before leaving us alone.

"What are you looking at? You're leaving, aren't you?" I gesture her threateningly with the candleholder I was holding before leaving her.

That noble is extremely vexing.
