Chapter forty
She tried to remember if she saw that part that stated that she would be responsible for driving him to work, but she could not possibly remember, and with that, she decided to go through the contract immediately after she got home.
“Well, I forgive you, and now you know that anything that concerns me also concerns you,” Mr. Gavriel said.
“Now tell me what my schedule for today is and get out of here,” Mr. Gavriel added as he took the glass of hot tea and put it in his mouth to drink.
Then he suddenly poured the hot tea on poor Christina from her barely open chest to her feet, and she gasped.
“Oouucch!” Christina shouted as she wrapped her hand around her chest immediately, it hurt her so much.
“What did I do to deserve this ill treatment?” Christina asked herself as tears flowed freely from her eyes, and she let them be because the pain was too much and her skin was already burned, which would leave a scar on her forever.
“How dare you put sugar in my tea, were you not told that I do not use sugar to take my tea?” Mr. Gavriel asked to cover himself because there was no reason for him to pour his secretary that much hot tea, and when he heard her scream, he felt guilty for doing it.
“Get out of here,” he added.
“I am sorry, sir, I will make you another one.” Christina apologized as she tried to remember if she put sugar in the tea, but no, there was nothing like that, she did not do that as she picked up the empty glass cup and made her way to the door.
Mr. Gavriel was so surprised at her reaction, he expected her to rain abuse on him, but she did otherwise, he expected her to claim her right that there was no sugar in the tea, but she did not, and when he saw the glittering tears in her eyes, then it dawned on him that he had hurt her.
“What the hell is wrong with me?” Mr. Gavriel roared at himself.
When Christina got outside, she cried her eyes out as she asked herself what she had done to get this as a reward.
She quickly walked to the tea counter and made another fresh black tea without sugar.
She wondered why Mr. Gavriel hated her so much and if he hated her because of what happened at the bar or if there was something else.
Then she cleaned up the tears on her face and the tea on her chest, her body had already formed some reactions due to the hotness of the tea.
She quickly carried the tea to Mr. Gavriel’s office as she knocked on the door and went in.
“Mr. Gavriel, I have made you a fresh tea without sugar, I hope you enjoy it,” Christina said as she dropped the glass cup on his table.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I will go to my office now so I can get you your schedule for today, and once again, I am so sorry for the inconvenience and sugar I have caused you this morning,” Tina added calmly as she walked out of the office.
Tina entered her office, took a notepad from her table where she had drafted Mr. Gavriel’s schedule for today, and walked out of her office to Mr. Gavriel’s office.
She knocked as usual before she entered his office.
“If that is the schedule, then read it out and leave.” Mr. Gavriel ordered, and Tina did not disobey, rather, she went straight to the point.
“You have a meeting with Mr. Jisaan Park by eleven thirty this morning, and that would be all for today… You are also to be informed about an emergency board meeting tomorrow morning, I will be on my way now,” Tina said quickly as she turned and immediately made her way for the exit.
“Okay, so that is your way of explaining my schedule, whatever… I hope you have already made reservations.” Mr. Gavriel asked as he watched her turn to face him, waiting to hear a response.
“I am sorry if I made a mistake in explaining your schedule. I will put more effort into learning it, and I have not made reservations yet. I will do that immediately after I get to my office, so if you do not mind, I will take my leave. If you need anything, I am one call away.” Tina said as she immediately took her leave, the burn on her chest hurting so badly.
She entered her office and closed the door behind her as she kept the notepad and went straight to her handbag as she searched for something vigorously.
“Oh, thank goodness you are here,” she said happily as she brought out an ointment from her bag and kept it on her table.
Then she picked her phone up as she clicked on the contact icon and stared at it.
She had to make reservations for the meeting with Mr. Jisaan Park, but she had no idea where they had always been making reservations.
‘I did not expect this, I just started, and it seems like I have been here for ages. Must I have to suffer in every aspect of my life? Why does he hate me so much? I made a mistake at the bar, and it does not make me an irresponsible person because everyone makes mistakes, but why does he hate me and hurt me so much? I promised myself to endure this, but I cannot possibly think! I can not leave because I need money, I can not be useless at this point in my life, I have nothing, I have no money, I have nothing I can show off, I have just my college certificate, I am just as useless as someone who did not go to college…’ Tina said to herself as she cried so hard. She just had to let the tears fall so they would ease her pain at that moment.
