Chapter 13 Do You Have To Be In The Spotlight All The Time?

1480 Words
In fact, as soon as they showed up in the canteen, Marlow had already noticed them. It was hard not to notice the beauties of such a level. Besides, Marlow had been walking on the brink of life and death in the past few years, so he had developed a habit of looking around when he arrived at a new place. The habit had been ingrained in him so deeply that though he knew there wasn’t any danger in the canteen, his eyes swept around the hall and the crowd from time to time. Between whiles, he took a glance at the entrance. So he noticed Yolanda and Wendy as soon as they appeared. He cursed in his heart, ‘Sh*t! The enemies are bound to meet again. Aren’t they the top managers of the company? Why would they come to eat in the canteen?’ He buried himself in his food and worked hard with the drumstick, in hope of reducing his existence. There were three most outstanding beauties in Watson Group. The top one was of course the president Scarlett. The other two were Yolanda and Wendy. One was the director of the sales department and the other as director of the development department. They were both right hands of Scarlett, though rumors said that the two of them were not getting on very well. This was understandable. They were both capable and pretty. They both admitted that they couldn’t compete with Scarlett, but the two of them were much of a muchness. Neither of them would agree that the other was better than herself. Fortunately, there wasn’t a deep grudge between them and they even acted as if they did admire each other. Or maybe they were trying to create an image of harmonious atmosphere of the company, thus they always showed up side by side. The rumors of their discord hence remained unproved so far. Anyway, the staff saw that they came to the canteen together today. After getting their food, Yolanda pretended to look around for a few seconds, and then said to Wendy, “There! There are seats over there. Let’s go sit at that table.” She meant the table at which Marlow sat. She wanted to take the chance to give that bastard a lesson. “Where? There are people everywhere. Where are the empty seats?” Wendy asked puzzled. “There. Come, follow me.” As Yolanda said, she minced to lead the way. Wendy had to follow her behind. The patter of the heels hitting the floor was supposed to be attractive and might make people have pleasant imagination. But Marlow’s muscle turned stiff when he heard the footsteps approaching. He stole a few glances at Yolanda when she was getting the food and talking with Wendy. He knew her eyes had swept this way and realized that she had already noticed him. As Yolanda was getting close to Marlow, the lines at the corners of her mouth became deeper. Her clothes almost brushed Marlow’s shoulder as she walked past him. However, she seemed to have no intention to do anything against him. Marlow’s tense body relaxed. He thought perhaps it was just his own imagination and she didn’t… However, as a man been through a lot of battles, he was sensitive to danger. After a moment of relaxation, he felt the hair on the back of his neck rise. It was a sign that indicated something bad was going to happen! He stood up abruptly. At this moment, Yolanda was behind him. She was holding a plate with her left hand. Her right hand was holding a drink and she was about to pour that drink on Marlow’s head. She didn’t expect that he would stand up suddenly. The consequence was his head bumped into her plate and it flew out of her hand. The food wasn’t wasted. It all landed on Yolanda’s enormous beasts. “Ah!” She screamed out and all eyes turned to her direction immediately. Everyone stopped the motion of their hand and stared at the beauty who was dripping with soup and food. Marlow was dumbfounded at the result too. The first thing he said after he could react was “I am sorry! I didn’t know someone was behind me. Let me wipe it off for you.” As he said, he reached his big hand to Yolanda’s breasts. He swore that he didn’t mean to offend her. He just wanted to amend the damage he had made. Yolanda’s mind was whirling around too. When she realized what had happened, that big hand, whose owner had humiliated her in the lift, was pressing on her breasts! “Get away! Bastard! In the lift this morning, haven’t you had enough...” In desperation, Yolanda let those words slip out of her mouth without thinking. Wow, they had such a story? The people present were all astonished. They thought this was an accident. It turned out the beautiful manager had some romantic story with that nobody! The eyes of the audience all lit up immediately. They pretended to be looking the other way, but in fact, they were watching closely with the corners of their eyes. Yolanda realized that she had said something wrong and stopped before she finished the sentence, but it was too late. She then thought that since she had said that, it was better to say it clearly rather than leaving some space for her colleagues’ imagination. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to face them in the future. So she changed to say indignantly, “Sorry? Do you think it would be okay to just saying that you are sorry? You are a bastard! Which department do you belong to? You are the scum of the company. In the lift, you took the chance that it was crowded there and harassed me. Now you did this to my newly bought suit.” After a short pause, she continued, “From the deft way you acted, I can say that you must have harassed women not just one or two times in the lift. I will call the police. This is not over yet. Guards!” Before the guards came over, a chubby guy was running this way. It was the fat guy who was thrown to the ground by Marlow in the parking lot. As the company had so many staff, he was worried that he couldn’t meet Marlow again. This scene in the canteen attracted his attention. That was just the guy he was looking for. He rushed this way fiercely. He knew he wasn’t a rival of Marlow in fighting. So he didn’t come close. Instead, he stopped at the place about ten feet away and shouted, “Hey, it is you again! I’ve finally found you!” Then he turned to the others and pointed his finger at Marlow and said, “Look at my face. This kid threw me to the ground this morning! I didn’t provoke him. When I got to the parking lot…” He started to make a complaint about Marlow’s wrongdoing. “Do you know him? Is he in your department? The people in your department are all rascally.” “No, he is not. Probably he is a newbie. But he is indeed aggressive. I wonder what kind of job he is doing. It’s admirable that he dares to fight against Jones and Edison as soon as he came to this company.” “Don’t admire him. He will probably disappear tomorrow. Want a bet? One hundred to one against odds.” “Do you think I’m nuts? Of course I know he will be sacked within today.” Most of the people were commenting on Marlow and a few horny girls were wondering how to get Marlow’s phone numbers before they lost the final chance. As a rule, the police are always the latest ones to show up at the crime scene. It was quite a riot when the chief guard came unhurriedly with a few of his men. He pushed his way into the center of the crowd. He gasped when he saw who was there. “Damn it! It’s you again! Do you have to be in the spotlight all the time your first day here?” However, the protagonist showed up. Just after the exclamation of the chief guard, a cold voice sounded, “What’s going on here?”  It was the president.
