" Oh no, he's hot" Tania was running mad the next morning. Ben was having a fever and she was late for work
"Come on, its just a fever, he'll be fine, you go to work now!" Mimi screamed at her friend's childish behavior.
"Sure he'll be fine?" Tania asked calming down
Mimi nodded positively.
Tania took another quick bath and wore a tight blue jean pant and yellow loose shirt. Packing her hair to one side, she wore a sandals, picked up her purse and ran out of the house
Ben was Tania's son whom she had at a young age. He came back recently to visit his mom as he lived with his aunt. Tania loved her son with everything she had.
She was a single mom struggling to get enough money to train him to school. That was the main reason she was happy about her new job
"Rubbish, can you hear yourself, your son was sick, so what?"
Dave questioned her.
"Yes he was sick and I had to stay behind to watch him." she replied him. Was he expecting a sorry from her? even though she knew she couldn't be sorry. How could she be sorry, her little pet wasn't fine. And this crazy man was here saying trash. She sighed inwardly, if only she could punch him now. She was beginning to hate this man here, he has no conscience at all. Her baby wasn't fine and this bitch doesn't care. So rude!
He picked up his phone and dialled a worker's number.
"Loretta, bring it to my office now". Saying those words, he ended the call and turned to look at Tania. This was his perfect opportunity to get at her
" you must be punished you thickhead, but what should the punishment be?" He asked nobody in particular.
'What? He called me a thick head, this crazy boss of mine' she inwardly abused him.
Soon, a beautiful blonde girl came into the office. Dave walked to her and bent Loretta's hand. "You lost your manners, you can't knock" he said still bending her hand
Oh my God, Tania was shocked, because of this little mistake, he was almost breaking her hand.
The girl screamed, then Dave left her hand.
"Where is it?" He asked annoyed
"I'm sorry sir, am not done"
The girl replied
He smirked, the going to her, he slapped her directly on her eyes. Tania's heart could have jumped out now
Slap on the eye?
Very odd.....
The girl kept crying and apologising.
He gave her another slap but this time it was on her ears. Tania could feel the pain the girl was passing through. This man was so mean. He had no conscience. He dismissed the blonde girl.
"And you" he gave Tania a pile of files to work on. This was a lot but it was her punishment. "If this is my punishment for caring for my son, then I don't mind doing over again, you won't know how it feels to be a parent because obviously you don't have a child of your own due to this attitude of yours" she said as she took it then turned to walk to her office. Dave rushed to her and tried hitting her, she feeling it turned back and warned him not to even think of it as she's not the other lady that takes shit.
"Who in Hell's name do you think you are young lady?" Dave asked very surprised. Tania replied saying, "I am a lady who has been defending herself and son since she was seventeen and apparently won't allow anyone not even a so-called boss to mess with my integrity just because I am working under him, Sir if I am not needed nor respected as a human, I can as well take my leave and work else where." Dave looking so surprised that a lady could really stand and talk back at him without minding been fired watched Tania as she dropped the file in her hand to walk away. "I think here's not just the place for me to work" she said as she tried walking away. "Hey young lady, I didn't ask you to leave, take those files and get to work or I make your life miserable in this city" Dave said trying to scare her. "Just tell me you need my services". Tania replied as she came back, picked up the files and walked away.
