Chereads / Chef Pamela / Chapter 2 - What a jerk

Chapter 2 - What a jerk

Pamela POV

She can be very rude...Ah Mrs Murphy... I'd endure a little no probs

I sat back on the chair and signed

"you okay Pamela?" Stacy whispered to me

"Yeah I am..I really can't wait for my shift" I said

"me too..I want to leave.. cooking is more fun when she is absent" she replied

"So you noticed that too!" I laughed lowly

"who didn't" Marian replied

Yep they are right.. it's way fun when she's absent

"I might stay here for a month" she said

"huh so quick!!" I exclaimed

"uh huh..why will I endure all her problems.. She's so problematic and a rude prick" she scoffed

"I can endure two months " I smiled

"oh really wonder woman.. I can't kill myself'' Stacy laughed

"Ah..I need to attend to customers Now.. we'll talk later" she said as she left

Sure thing....Everyone has been enduring her issues

Not like she's the best paying boss so far..I just can't keep being idle

I would have worked for what I always imagined.. seating in the office with air conditioners and a laptop or system before me with my ID card around my neck

"white collar jobs" I sighed

But I couldn't achieve it after I lost my parents in highschool.. my grandparents are dead and I don't know how to even reach my uncles or aunts

None of my relatives are reachable.. it just feels like I'm alone in this world

And I've been holding myself since the age of 18..I tired and I'm trying.

Just then my thoughts were interrupted. "I said I hate seeing you staffs with headphones and earpiece in your ears while cooking how hard is it to understand!!" Mrs Murphy yelled

oh goodness.. Is she expecting us to be cooking in a quiet place like this without music or something

I'm addicted to music and she has to understand..

I was presently making hot dogs and burger, four of them were prepared already and the burger had 3 done.

I didn't eat last night that's why I'm making them. ..

"Pamela!...you're hearing me..aren't you?" she asked as I jerked back

"me?" I blinked rapidly

I was also with earpiece in my ear..I just realized that

"Are you deaf??" she yelled

"oh oh I'm sorry..." I hastily replied as I took it off my ear

"You're sorry.. you heard me talking and instead of you to take it down you stood like number one!!!"

"That's it. I'm tired of you already.." she sighed

If I'm not mistaken.. I know what she wants to say...

I sighed and let my hands fall...."its okay Mrs Murphy.. no need to say it" I said softly as I walked to her slowly taking off my apron

"No need of that..I can do it myself" I added

"Pamela??" Marian called from behind

"what..its okay..we'll talk on the phone" i smiled

"You're not joking are you?" Stacy laughed

"you said two months!!" she added

"I guess mine stops today" I chuckled and turned back to her

"to be honest..I'm sick and tired of your rules.. who gives such and your do this and don't is killing.. I thought I could bear it for at least two months but I'm afraid I can't" I said as she folded her arms

"so Mrs Murphy I Pamela Lee resign today and seize to work with a rude boss like you" I said with a sigh

"thanks for the compliment.. I'll just give you 20% of your salary.. at least we had more customers through you too and your dish"

My jaw dropped

"20%??"

did I hear you well...how little

that should be $250 dollars... for 2 weeks??

How cheap

I scoffed.."oh no no thanks..keep it to yourself.. I already had enough" I replied

This wasn't me

"well that's good.. I'll be back to my office.. the rest of you resume work" she exclaimed as she left like a psycho swaying her shapeless ass

I turned back to them

"what? don't gimme that look" I pouted and untied my hair as it fell down my shoulders.

I reached for my hand bag and crossed it also

"You're really crazy.. you said two months" Stacy said again

"stop it..I want to leave today.. I'll definitely find another better one" I replied

"When? you'll sit at home jobless" she added

"Hmm maybe not.." I replied

"Pam is very skilled in cooking.. definitely she'll find another job in no time" Marian replied

They both sighed

"I'll miss you though" Stacy said

"oh really..we can meet some day" I replied and heard a staff say

"me too..I'm tired of her rules..I'll go resign now" she said as my eyes went wide

"Me too!" another one said

oh my....

"oh.." Marian mouthed

"get back to work.. I'm leaving now" I smiled

"What type if human are you..you taught us already and you're leaving?"

"keep quiet..save it...Isn't it enough?" I pouted at Marian

"Okay okay..you're leaving.. take care" he smiled

"you too!" I said

And weird enough I feel happy

"you look relieved" Stacy laughed

"yes I am.." I replied

"take this" Marian said bringing a bottle of soft drink out of the fridge and then Stacy took two cans out, one is beer and the other should be soft drink

They packed it into a bag and then I packed the hot dogs also into a carton bag and then the burger into another bag.

Why won't I?

I made it so I will pack it up too

Mrs Murphy thinks she's smart!

I won't paint everywhere with chilli sauce this time but eat a lot

All the snacks I've been making..

"You know what.. I'll come over to give you the rest" Stacy said

"Sure no problem" I laughed and picked all the bags up with a sigh

"So ya leaving now huh?" Marian asked

"yep..bye for now" I replied and walked away heading to the door

That's it..just resigned again

Not bad...I reply believe what Marian said..I'll find another job so soon

I walked out through the exit and stopped by the entrance looking out

I suddenly became teary..should I have resigned that way

I'll go back home and remain idle again..that's not gonna be good Pamela

I've got no choice...

I sighed and began to walk down the street hanging my bag more properly and held the bags of the food in my other hand

Mason POV

Cohen came over...glad he did and now I'm in the car heading to the company with Cohen beside me and the driver in the front seat.

I kept looking out the window...

" Dude...you're hungry right?" Cohen asked as I turned to him raising my brows

"Don't you get it..I didn't eat anything last night and this morning.. I feel like an empty body that breeze can pull down!!" I replied and heard him chuckle

"Then let's eat in a restaurant" he suggested

"you know so well I'm allergic to eating in the public.. especially public food" I replied

"allergic? you said you don't like eating in the open...and eating their meal..so now you're allergic to it already??" he asked wide eyed

"Hmm that's what I mean" I replied and heard him chuckle

"you're not hungry that's why" he laughed

"Sir..I suggest you listen to What Mr Cohen is saying.. just go to fancy eatery and order your favorite" Steve suggested

I sighed.."thanks but I'm okay here" I replied and rested my head against the car tiredly with a sigh

"okay then..." Cohen replied as I turned to the window and could see a lady walk with her head low with her hair bouncing on her shoulders I kept my eyes fixed on her since we were stocked in a little traffic jam

She looked like she just sniffed her tears and then her head went up as she wiped her eyes

Oh poor lady...

"What are you looking at?" Cohen asked as he poked his head

"she....?"

"looks sad...." he replied

"I didn't ask for your comments" I replied

"Are you looking at her or the food in her hands?" he asked

I didn't even notice that..

"Both" I replied and heard my stomach grumble again

Cohen turned to me raising his brows and then I rolled my eyes

"Just go get yourself something to eat!"

"Maybe that" I replied and gestured him to look at what I meant

"her food?" his eyes went wide asking

"I'm just hungry... whatever you bring" I groaned and then he tapped Steve shoulder walking out of the car

"Miss!!" I called out hoping she would answer.

she turned to me with her brows raised up...I then pointed at Cohen

She turned to him and back to me with a 'what' expression

The moment Cohen walked close to her she stepped back...

I sighed and walked out of the car

"Excuse me do I know you?" she asked a little frightened

"ah no not at all" Cohen replied

"I need a little favor from you" I said to her and heard my stomach grumble again

"what's that...and besides I don't know you" she said with a puzzled facial expression on

I then pointed at the bag in her hand

"look if its this... I can't give it out I'm sorry..i just resigned from my job and kinda regretting it" she said like she was dizzy and sneezed

"oh why!!" she cried and covered her face with her left palm sobbing lowly

"oh..I'm so sorry" Cohen replied as he patted her shoulder

I stood there looking blankly at her and then squeezed my face

"sorry about that" I managed to say

She sniffed back her tears and looked up at the both of us

"sorry..what were you saying?" she asked as I snatched the first bag..the one my hand could reach

"Ah what the hell is wrong with you!!" she yelled as she tried to hit me

"I'm so sorry miss but I'm starving here" I said

"ah..I don't do charity.. now that I'm in a bad mood, I made all these earlier so I can calm down with it at home.. I can't start cooking in a bad mood or I make nonsense" she exclaimed

"oh we're so sorry but his chef made him nonsense.. I guess he fired her for that.. can we eat yours?" Cohen asked her

"who said mine will be much better..please hand it over back" she said stretching her palms out

I signaled Cohen and then turned to leave adjusting my sunglasses and cleared my throat

"Ah Mr wait !" she yelled

Pamela POV

the last thing I want to happen was happening.. this unknown guy was leaving

with my food??

I stretched my hand to pull him back but then the other guy stood before me

"what..you saw him leave with my stuff and said nothing.. don't lemme use my shoes on your head!" I threatened him

He was also covered

Sunglasses and thick coat..

"Ah..ladies, to be honest he doesn't eat anyhow food that is he is very selective and damn that's picky.. I don't know why he is taking yours" he said

"like I care" I said sounding irritated and rolled my eyes

"can I have some too?" he asked

"that's one stupid question.. I just resigned.. see this is my business card.. on it is the address where I work..you can get yours there but I'm sorry.. I'm not the one that'll make it for you.. just tell them Pamela sent me here, I'm sure they'll make you something nice" I explained

"That's a long process" he groaned and took my hand opening the bag and took out the first can that turned out to be the drink

My eyes went wide

"return it I__" I trailed off as he tucked his hands into his pocket and brought it out back putting something that felt like money into my palm

"thanks for your charity!" he smiled as he walked away leaving me dumbfounded
