Chapter 21

"How do you know that. It was a close session. Public…" He was interrupted by other side. He frowned.

"Why should I do that?" He was a bit louder this time. His frowns got deeper.

"How dare you? What made you think that I would do anything wrong to save my position as president. I can sacrifice it thousand times over for truth, justice, and benefit of my people. I am as much capable of working for my nation even without this goddamn position. Do not ever try calling me again." He screamed with fury and disconnected the call.

Lisa was in Colorado to cover a press briefing from Aberdeen's Space Research Facility (ASRF). ASRF appreciated all the efforts being made by Saans and ensured their full cooperation with the United States' Government. Such press conferences were happening all around. Lisa attended this one because they were competitors of Saans in business. So, it was important.

Lisa was wearing a beautiful red gown. With some makeup, she looked as beautiful as ever.

She was talking with her assistant in the conference hall when she felt someone pass behind her. She suddenly screamed and bounced in shock. Her eyes and mouth were wide open, and her heart was racing. She could not believe what just happened. With utter disbelief, she turned around to look at the person who just passed by.

"Wh-What happened? Are you alright Lisa?" Melinda stuttered. Her assistant, Melinda, was surprised at her boss's condition.

Lisa could not hear.

Lisa saw Steve going away. He was the one who passed behind her. He turned his head around a little, winked and walked towards his team.

"It was not an accident. He did it intentionally." Lisa felt her eyes filling with tears. Her ears were resounding. She could not hear anything around. Lisa trembled and could not breathe for a moment.

"I am already 47 years old." She thought. She was coming to her senses. Her assistant was looking at her with deep concern as a tear rolled out on Lisa's cheek.

"I am too old to take this crap from anyone." Lisa murmured while looking at her young assistant, who was searching for a tissue in her bag.

"What?" Melinda could not hear her clearly.

"Wa-wait. I have a tissue." Melinda whimpered as Melissa wiped her cheek with her sleeve.

"Why are you acting crazy all of a sudden." Melissa said in surprise as she saw Lisa put her heels off.

"Has she gone senile? Considering her cockiness and arrogance, I always knew it will happen someday but still it seems a little early." Melinda thought.

Lisa clasped her high heels in her hands and ran towards Steve who had reached near his assistant.

"How dare you? You! creepy son of a b***h." As she reached him, she jumped a little and hit Steve in head with all her might. Melinda was now flabbergasted.

"Wh-Wha… Ugh." Steve turned around. His face was disfigured with anger and surprise. His hand was on his head where she hit him. His assistant was absolutely stumped.

"You think everyone is your personal property. You pervert motherf****r. I will destroy you." Lisa screamed as she continued hitting him with her heels. Melinda who was still surprised connected the dots and guessed what would have made Lisa act like a lunatic. Her facial expressions changed from surprise to disgust all of a sudden.

Melinda was a 28 years old tall African American woman with stout built. She played football in her college years as hobby. She had been working with Lisa for three years now. She was wearing jeans with white shirt and high heels. She hated high heels but wore because Lisa did not like casual shoes.

She saw Steve grabbing Lisa's hands. Lisa was striving to get free. A small stream of blood crossed Steve's face. Steve was still standing. Steve proved to be more resilient than he looked. There were A few people in the hall now and they started to gather around them. Some of them surprised and others laughing. No one was close enough to intervene. One of the things that Melinda learned from Lisa in the last three years was to hit her opponents hard.

Melinda ran towards Steve's assistant, who was trying to separate them.

"Has all the fame and fortune gone to your head? You Crazy Bitch." Steve howled in anger. Lisa spat in his face.

Steve was now furious. He pushed Lisa away and wanted to hit her when Melinda arrived. She successfully emulated losing her balance and hit Steve's assistant with her foot in the ankle during her stride. Steve's assistant shrieked, grabbed his foot, and started jumping on one leg. As he jumped, Melinda was pushed away. Melinda turned to balance herself and ran into Steve who was turning to look at his assistant.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Steve screamed, bent forward with his hands on his crotch and finally fell on the ground. He writhed in pain as he held his legs against his chest. Lisa took the chance and attacked him again with her heels. Melinda miraculously stood fine.

Melinda caught her breath for a few moments and then grabbed Lisa's hand, who was busy in beating Steve, and signaled her with her eyes to leave. People had gathered around and were enjoying the spectacle. No one interfered. Lisa understood and nodded her head. Lisa was out of breath. She raised her right hand and hit him with all her might for one last time. Her heel broke.

Lisa stood up and both women ran towards exit.

"I am sorry." Melinda said while making her way out of crowd.

"No dear. That was great. Thank you." Lisa groaned.

"No. I am sorry for the future. A man with four nuts might become more dangerous for you." Melinda gleefully said.

Both women looked at each other and laughed out loud as they left the hall.
