Old friend (1)

It has been 3 weeks since I realised the truth. That day I promised in my heart I would never cry pathetically ever again. It was quite embarrassing being in a pitiful state in front of Alex but I was glad to have a family around to console me. Whenever Mia was at school and Alex and I were not busy with work, we would talk about many things for hour's. I soon realised how I missed the sense of nostalgic and familiarity from my past.

Alex was starting as a detective but was highly praised by his superiors because of his university results. He worked at the N.D.S which stands for national detectives society. It was well known for it's great and skilled workers. I praised Alex when he told me about his work. Alex also swore to me he would help me anyway he can but I immediately rejected his offer. I had a job that could provide for Mia and me, I was independent. I was secretly a bit worried as to why he didn't visit or see Uncle, his father.

I admit I felt a pang of envy that Alex got to work at his dream job while..I am a measly receptionist.

It was the late-afternoon and I was currently working at the hotel. Mia was safe at home with a babysitter I trusted, because Alex was at work. I can't bother him for a simple task while his work was far more important. I felt a sense of pride when I knew Alex was serving justice and helping the country be lawful.

"What are you doing over here get back to your desks and do your job!" yelled Vicky. She was the overseer of the workers of the hotel only a month after she was hired here. It was no surprise that she slept with the perverted old man of the hotel to gain her position.

'Women like her disgust me!' I thought disgusted.

I grumply made my way to the reception desk to greet and show the new guests their rooms, or suits I must say. I worked until it became dark outside.

"This is your room Mam" I said politely to a middle aged woman guiding her way to her room. She wore lots of makeup that made her look like a clown and dressed overly revealing.

She looked at me up and down. "So beautiful but wasted as a lousy receptionist" she whispered purposely for me to hear.

I gave a fake smile, bowed and walked my way. Inside my heart I was a raging bull ready to strangle and stomp her till she couldn't batter her fake eyelashes.

Since I had a 30 minute break I walked to the kitchen where Chef Ronald greeted me. He was an old man that treated me with kindness when I first worked here. Unlike the other's who avoided me beacause of Vicky, he was different. I kinda saw him as my role model, I guess.

"How is Mia doing?" he asked. I brought Mia here once, when the babysitter couldn't take care of her, but Sir Ronald offered. Though I didn't like it that his name was the same as my Ex-father.

"She's fine as always. Now she is in better moods because she has an uncle." I answered him and told him briefly about Alex, but not about his past.

He nodded and remembered something. "Oh! Sasha would you not mind handing this tray of food to Sir Dried? I am way to busy and no one wants to do it." he asked. I nodded understanding because Sir Dried was a big time womanizer but I could defend myself.

I took the tray of food, went to the Sir's room and knocked. He came out obviously drunk. I didn't enter but indicated for him to take the food.

"Hey! My favourite receptionist *hic*" slurred drunk. He was one of the men who tried to wooe me but failed miserably.

"I placed the tray of food on the table that was next to his door. I was not crazy or foolish enough to enter his room. When I wanted to turn around, he wrapped his arms seductively behind my waist.

"*hic* Why don't we enter the room and have some fun" he whispered at my ear his breath reeking of alcohol. He was about to touch my butt but I was quicker.

With no time to waste I kicked him hard on his sensitive area for all men.

He groaned in pain. "You damm woman I will make you pay for this!" he yelled making a noise. People started to come out hearing a loud yell.

Gried even though was in pain smirked. He pointed at me "This woman tried to seduce me but when I refused she kicked me!" he yelled.

"Is that true!" yelled Vicky stomping towards me, angered by what Gried said. I gritted my teeth in anger.

'Even if I defend myself and tell the truth nobody would believe me except Cheff Ronald. In the end I will be fired and unemployed again! I can't afford this!' I mentally screamed at myself for being stupid to come.

Just when I was about to just quit myself, a femine voice spoke out.

"Sasha is innocent!"

Everyone turned their heads to see who spoke up but all gasp.

"The famous C.E.O woman!"

"The high class girl!"

"The Miss herself!"

But my answer was totally different from theirs because I knew her personally.

"Rihanna!"
