Belinda's P.O.V
"Is that my resume?!" I was already filled up with anger that I don't even know where it came from. I picked up the papers and banged them on his table.
The sound was more like a gun shot! His murdering eyes shot wide open!
"Is this how you operate?! Of course, why I'm I even surprised! I better than anyone else should be knowing how filthy and cold you are by now!" I yelled.
"Shit!" He mumbled.
"Listen, whatever you're seeing now is all a damn mistake." He explains.
There's nothing to fass about! You're just making a mountain out of a mold.
"Oh really now! Well Iet me tell you now that I resign! You and your fucking Stupid job can go to hell for all I care!" I yelled.
"Mind your language Ms. Parkers! If you decide to go, we don't really care, well I personally don't give a damn! The Choice is yours!" He says as he sits back in his comfy chair.
I look at him for a while. Well I don't give a damn either! I throw the papers in his face, stomp out and slum the door so hard!
I run down the stairs to the exit.
"Belinda!" Nora calls out.
I don't stop a bit until I'm out of the premises. I lean on the wall outside and suddenly break into tears. I pick up my phone after composing myself and call Kelly. "Can we meet now for a cup of tea?" I begged.
"Bel what's wrong, have you been crying? Did Dave try calling you again, that bastard!" Kelly asked.
"No, I'll tell you everything when we meet up." I replied.
"Alright let's meet up at the POOL CAFÉ , I'm soon signing out. Should I come pick you up?" Kelly asked.
"No it's alright, I'll just take a cub, I don't want to spend another single minute at this place." I replied as I looked around the entire area.
"Okay, if you insist. I gotta go, my boss is calling for me." Kelly says as she ends the call.
Soon after, the same cub that brought me shows up, I give him the directions and we leave immediately.
After one to two hours, we get to the café. I pay him off and decide to sit outside as I wait for Kelly.
My phone lights up indicating I've got a message.
Kelly: Be Right at you in 5 minutes!
I smiled to that, and replied back with a smile emogi.
Me:
Me: Thank you, I added.
Kelly: Always.
I turned around to face the road when I saw her car parking at the roadside, stepped out and locked it.
She gave me a quick hug and sat down.
I've already ordered for tea and some cookies.
"That's fine." She answers. Now tell me, what happened this time around?
I've just resigned.
"I must say you're such a good joker, how do you organise your jokes?" Kelly laughed. You don't have a job! Remember?!
"I'm serious Kelly, I just resigned! God, will I be joking with such a thing if it weren't true?
"But how did that happen?! Can you explain that?! You're getting my head messed up!" She asks with a more confused face and I don't blame her.
I just got a job, everything was going on so we'll until I saw my resume and credentials in the trash can for my boss to be.
"Why would he even do that? Why did he even employ you in that first place?" Kelly asks furiously when the waiter shows up with our tea.
"Two cups of green tea and two ginger cookie bites." Presents the waiter with a warm smile.
"That's right, thank you." I replied.
"It's a pleasure, I'm at your service incase you need me. Excuse me." Says the waiter.
"Seriously Bel, that man needs to be brought back to his senses, he can't be treating people like that!" Kelly yells.
I know but I'm done with that, I hate doing this but I'm gonna have to talk to my aunt. May be she can put me in her company. I don't mind if I have to work for her for as long as I'm chasing my goals.
"Well that is fine, but considering the way your aunt treats you, I doubt if she will even listen to you." Kelly replies with a hopeless tone in her voice.
That reminds me, she promised to send me the directions to mum and dad's graves but I've not seen any.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Kelly says as she takes a sip from her tea.
Let me text her now.
Me: Aunt forgot to send the directions?
No reply for the past 30minutes!
"Perhaps you should forget about her Bel." Kelly suggests.
"I'll just have to go to her house, will you drop me there?" I begged.
"No problem, anything for you my friend." Kelly replies with a smile.
After paying our bill, we get into the car and drive off to my aunt's place.
"I seriously think you should forget your aunt existed and do your own thing. You used to save up back then at school. Start up something. " Kelly suggests.
"I promise after this, I'm going to focus on myself. Don't worry I'm not going to contact my aunt ever again immediately after this." I replied. "Thank you for your concerns." I added.
The security guard opens the gate soon as he recognizes me.
"Wow Belinda! It's been a while since I last saw you!" Shouted the gate man.
"That's right, is my aunt in?" I asked.
"Yeah she is, get in she's probably in her room. She has just seen off some of her guests." He answered.
"Well, Bel I think I should get going, I have a date tonight at 7:00pm with Louis." Says Kelly.
"Yeah sure! You've done more than enough, thank you for the company."
"Alright, keep me posted, have a good night." Kelly says as she gets into her car.
I decide to go inside, I find the door slightly open and I decide to close it.
I walk through the house as I notice some of the wall paintings changed. Looks like she replaced them.
I proceed quietly as I search for her. Perhaps she's already asleep, I think to myself.
"I hear loud voices as I follow them, she's definitely where these voices are coming from." I tell myself.
I reach the door and suddenly stop. Somehow my hand feels heavy, I couldn't knock on the door.
"I don't care what you have to do!" She shouted. She is probably talking to someone on the phone.
"Make sure she doesn't remember anything, absolutely nothing! You know how one knows the back of their hands, I want her to forget even the back of her hands! Did I make myself clear?!" She yelled as she threw something on the floor, sounds like a flower vase.
If i knock now, she will definitely know I was listening to her conversation and that would get really ugly. I rushed through the corridors until I got back to the living room.
After catching my breath, I started calling out for her. Aunt! Aunt Lauren! Is anyone home?! Aunt!
"Why are you shouting my name like a senseless person?! Why are you here?" She asked angrily.
"You never sent the directions?!" I replied.
"Couldn't you just give me a call?!" She yelled. Obviously she's not in the best of moods as usual. But that call she had in there was really tense, who was she talking to, and whose memory were they trying to damage?!
"Your phone was busy for hours, I sent you a text which I doubt you even saw.!" I yelled back.
"Give me a second, let me get them for you." She immediately left to get the directions.
I look around the room once again admiring her interior designs. My eyes suddenly fall on a piece of paper that is almost getting lost deep down in the sides of the couch.
I look around to see if no one is watching me. I quickly pick it out and stick it inside my back pockets. I sit back comfortably as I wait.
"Well, here we are. One other thing, don't come back to this house ever again! And if you must, call me first, if I don't respond, don't bother coming at all." She warns me as she hands over a piece of paper containing the directions.
"Alright, you don't have to say that over and over. If it wasn't urgent, you wouldn't see my structure here." I replied.
"Alright now get out of my house you brat!" She yelled.
I walked quickly as I searched for the driver's contact through my phone when suddenly I got stopped by my aunt.
Wait! What is that in you back pockets?! She yelled with so much anger in her voice.
"God help me get out of this one." I whispered to myself.
I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?!
