CHAPTER 17

"Okay, I will meet with him." Erika held her head and waved for Jimson to leave her on her own.

She thought of a way to kick Kan out of Rosalina's life, two hours passed she received a message from Mr. Rafael informing her to meet him by the end of this day.

"I really need him by my side, especially after what he did to Kan," Erika thought as she walked to the meeting room.

"Madam Erika, pardon me, someone is waiting for you; he said his name is Kan," Jimson stated while breathing out heavily. He had run the whole way to reach her.

Erika's eyes turned red as she remembered the humiliation and insult that her mother was subjected to by this man.

She waved her hair back with a strong tone and uttered, "Let him, wait. Don't you see I have an important meeting right now?"

Jimson tried to make her understand that the man looked dangerous, but she ignored him and started the meeting. While Jimson returned with his humble manner to where Kan was sitting, he was detailing the room with such an astonishing gaze.

"Sorry, sir, Madam Erika has a meeting now; you can wait for her or if you want to come on another day," Jimson said. The eagle's sharp eyes of Kan made him step back.

"Okay, and who are you? I mean, what's your job?" Kan asked as if the dark aura that involved his voice tone could bring death to anyone who heard him talking.

"I'm Jimson, sir, Madam Erika's secretary," Jimson uttered while avoiding eye contact with Kan, who had very small, sharp eyes, a long nose, a short, thick neck, and half cut mustache. His shape suggested that he was a gangster.

"I'm not going to shoot you, young man; I will wait for her," Kan told him. Jimson left him alone; he was surprised by the presence of this man, and on top of that, he said he knew Erika personally.

"I don't think Madam Erika deals with such suspicious people; you can't even look at him twice," Jimson thought.

"I'm sorry, Jimson, but where can I find Erika? I need her," Redima asked Jimson before he entered his office.

"It's really a strange day; everyone is looking for Madam Erika," Jimson thought. He actually didn't like Redima and always avoided any contract with her.

She had refused his love proposal and treated him like nothing. He made himself deaf and entered his office without answering her question.

"What's wrong with you? Can't you act normal at least while we are in the company?" Redima yelled at him. She hit his table and rubbed her face slowly.

  Jimson was still quiet for some minutes. He listened to her long lecture on attitude till she sat herself on the sofa.

"If you're done, please, Miss Redima. I have to carry on working."Jimson said he eyed Redima, who made her path to his chair, then leaned closer to him and said:

"Remember your position."

Jimson smiled and put down the papers, then said, "Don't you forget who the one that offered you this chance to find a job in this company, or did you grow cooler after rejecting me?" Jimson whispered, he damned himself for making such a foolish statement.

Redima clapped. She walked to the door and said, "That's why we can't go out together."

She just felt his huge body which surrounded her at the corner, leaving her no room to get rid of him. She did not stress herself with his resistance.

"Remember, you're just a woman who's supposed to be in the kitchen and taking care of the kids." Jimson mouthed with a high tone full of anger. Redima smiled and looked to the other side.

"And this is another reason that let me refuse dating such people like you," Redima replied as she kicked him in his lower part. He fell down, struggling with pain to stop her.

"I will see about your disrespect Jimson you are now on my black list" Redima walked on his fingers and left his office.

"That rat, he will know the real me," Redima said. She headed to her restroom, where she ruined her make-up and tore some parts of her shirt. She ran to Mr. Grand's office while turning behind her every three steps.

She broke into his office, her tears and her pathetic appearance angered Mr. Grand, who had held her and covered her with his jacket. He pointed to the two people who were with him  and told them to leave.

On his knees, he kneeled in front of her. She didn't stop crying; anyone would believe she was the victim.

"Who did this to you?" Mr. Grand said he considered Redima a special gem, which he kept  her untouched even by him just to enjoy her after he took advantage of her well-leading and managing.

He was on his nerves to hear what had happened to her; all his dreams faded. He repeated his question, but with a loud voice that made most of the employees gather around his office watching  out. 

"It's Ji_Jimson, sir, he tried to attack me." Redima  told him in a low whisper, her body was trembling, Mr. Grand was screaming  by Jimson's name throughout the floor. Redima wiped up her tears and stood watching the running drama that she caused.

"Checkmate Jimson, it was a nice game," Redima uttered. She followed Mr. Grand, and many coworkers were running behind her.

"Sir, what are you?" Jimson hardly spoke, out of blue Mr. Grand punched him several times until he bled. Jimson raised his eyes to look at Redima, who was smiling in victory. He nodded his hand and headed to her, throwing Mr. Grand  a side. 

"You whore, how dare you play this dirty game on me? Come on here, and I will show you..." Jimson was screaming, and before he could jump on Redima, the bodyguards arrested him and threw him to the next wall. 

"Now you saw everything by your naked eyes, Mr. Grand,  he is... Ah," Redima acted as she fainted. So Mr. Grand held her before she reached the ground, and Jimson watched her play in silence.

"Kick him out of this company; hand him to the police; they will know how to deal with him," Mr. Ground said while he helped Redima stand straight.
