"what did she do and why do you sound like that" said the so called boss
" I gave you one job to do, one! , and you can't even do it !you are such a failure to my company."
"Is she still there or did she go" ask the man on the other line
"Sir she....." the manager
Before he could finish with whatever he wanted to say ,I grabbed the fone from him to show him who was in charge.
"So you are the so called boss, Listen, if this is how you treat your employees then I have no interest in working with you either .Its good you showed your true colour before it was too late."
"You instructed people to carry out an interview online just to cancel it like that with no absolute reason en why in your right state of mind would you open up a vacancy just to close it in a split of seconds .Why,just why would you even let people conduct an interview in the first place, If you know that you did not want any employees why would you waste people's time in doing all these." I argued
"Why aren't you saying anything,you are a disgrace to human temperament and you are going to pay for what you did to me I promise you.
You knew who your manager choose, he must have informed you the contender , damn he even lied that the person is needed urgently and I was the first to come so I thought I got the job just to be informed when I'm already at work ,that the vacancy is eliminated .Do you maybe have some kind of beef with me and if you do ,devour it please I'm vegetarian.
" Maybe I have .Remember this morning I was talking to you but you ignored me as if I'm insignificance, well you deserve it and there was no vacancy in the first place , you were just making fun of yourself the whole time. You should ask your best friend isn't she the one that got you the job ,for you to trust an individual just like that I feel pity for you .Money buys everything even in friendship , your firend, the one you call best friend japordise your friendship for money, she is a gold digger who knows? perhaps you are just like her."he said the man on the other line
"Why do you know so much about me , No you can't be , en my best friend can never do something like that, we go a long way back" I said not believing what he just told me.
"Yes am the person you think I am, Your one and only Edward , your hand some crush" said Edward
"Ooh please you wish , en I'm not believing any of the bullshit you told me
" Admit it she's not good for you , if I were you ,I will stop associating myself with someone like that , she was part of the whole plan ,I just didn't know you were going to go that early ,you didn't even think about it ,you are so naive Tariah"He said laughing hard as if it's a joke to him.
"Please tell me you are lying, that this is all a dream" I said tears dropping from my eyes
"I'm afraid it's not sweetheart , now give back the phone to the manager and get your lazy *ss out of my shop before I make you regret the day you were born" Edward said
I threw the fone to the manager,then stepping my feet on his polished black shoes, at least I was not the only one hurt , we are two on the list now,I wiped my tears and make sure I Dont leave any clue that shows I was crying , I have to be strong .
I walked out of the office that I was in confidently , then I saw her,smiling innocently to the customers as if she's really innocent 'traitor' ,she's not my friend if she truly did what I was told , but guys ,I'm mature enough to ask the person first before accusing and pointing fingers at them , maybe she has her reason of doing that .
I walked towards were she was standing , put on a fake smile then called her name.Her eyes lit up when she saw me then she return the smile to me(i guess we all good in faking ).
"How did it go?" she asked as if she doesn'know already, mxiim!
"Well I got the job" I lied.
"OMG ,I'm so sorry.... wait what?" Relly asked confused
"Yeah ,I did ,we're you expecting something else" I asked looking straight into her eyes.
"What, no ,I..I knew you will get the job , but...werent you suppose to start already today, why did you have to wait for the manager to talk to the manager before ressuming" she said with a flown on her face biting her lips not looking at me for once
(Sighn of someone lying to you)
"Really, are you sure you are telling the truth,I mean I just spoke to your boss a while ago A.K.A Edward." I said
"You...you did? what did he say about me, I mean what did he say ,I mean what did you guys talk about." Relly mumble
"He did say something about you ,I think it was about money , he asked if you have received your full amount of money from the manager, he said you did him some kind of favour that's why he payed you" I continue playing with her mind
" I....i...." Relly opened her mouth now and then without saying anything
You see that guys!im brilliant , I made her speechless with a few words, just recruit me as a police officer already, so you see how i deal with criminals like her .
" Hey you ,what are you doing , go back to work or this will be your final warning"The manager said to Relly
"Dont overthink too much , continue with your work ,I will see you once you knock off, I will be waiting for you" I said walking out of the shop.
"I thought you said you got the job,! aren't you suppose to start now." I heard Relly asking when I have left the shop, well I will pretend like I didn't hear her .
I can't believe I wasted my twenty dollar for nothing, I have to get to the bottom of this , she has to tell me why she did what she did ,I'm not done with her still.
I was packing my bag , when my cellphone rang ,I left my bag to see who was calling. Not him again , why can't he just leave me alone.
"what do you want" I said when I picked up the call.
"Dont you dare speak to me in that tone " he said with an authorised voice.
"Or what?what will you do " I asked returning the arrogance
" I will leave you homeless , so behave, your life is in my hands one wrong move, your are out , so speak to me as you should Dont make me repeat myself"he said
"I'm no longer afraid of you" I talked back
Who does he think he is , to threaten my Life .
"You should?" said Edward
"Is that why you called me? "I asked.
" For someone like you , you shouldn't be so optimistic "he said
" You haven't answered the question yet"I told him
"If you have nothing to say ,I'm ending the call and I'm blocking your number too"I said after waiting a couple of minutes for him to speak because there was just silence on the other line.
" Dont you dare end that call"he finally spoke after some minute
"Tariah.....dont..." before he could finish I ended the call.
Another call coming in.
"How dare you end the call on me"said Edward when I picked up the call, honestly I Dont even know why I picked it up when I know he was going to say that.
" I can still do it if you Dont tell me why you called"I said
"Pack your bags, my driver will be picking you up in an hour "he said.
" Do you know what time it is?its almost seven in the nightfall ,I won't do it"I confessed
"Tariah now is not the time to be stubborn , do as I tell you, or I will come drag you myself" said Edward
"No ,I won't do it that's incurable and I Dont c....i will have to call you back ,I have unfinished business to take care off" I ended the call when I saw Relly coming in the apartment.
As you guys know I have already started packing my bags before Edward asked and I Dont want to leave with either of them ,she's an apostate.
"hi " she greeted me avoiding eye contact.
"hello, you finally got off work , how was work" I asked
"fine I guess" she said
"so tell me what is going on , do you have anything to do with what happen to me today" I asked
"what do you mean" she asked pretending not to know anything.
"Dont play dumb with me, you know exactly what I'm talking about" I said getting irritated
"so tell me,Dont even think of lying to me , why Relly , why did you do this to me, I thought you were my friend, I thought you actually missed me,you know how much I have went through,You knew there was no job in the first place but you led me on , you choose him over me!" I said shedding tears I was beyond hurt.
"Dont you dare stand there and act as a victim here ,you made us loose our job , then ran off with him , he didn't even allow me to see you ,you didn't even care how I felt ,you didn't even try to see me once , I have to do it , it was my only survival and if I have to do it I will do it over and over again because you Dont deserve any sympathy from anyone." she said
