I Don't Like Women That Cry

Ida walked over to where she was to have her interview, she thought she would see some other people who would be here for job interview around but to her surprise, she was the only one there.

Getting before OFFICE 8, the particular office that the receptionist had told her she would have her interview at, she knocked on the door gently and a masculine voice sounded from inside, " come inside, please."

Ida walked in and saw two men seated graciously, one of the men gestured to the seats before them," please have your sit."

Ida sat, ensuring she has a calm look on.

The man who asked her to sit asked her a couple of the job related questions and after he was done, he exchanged look at the second man beside him and they both communicated through their facial language.

Ida couldn't understand what they had communicated through their facial language but she hoped that they would give her the job.

The man who had been asking her questions turned his face back to to her and said, "we would get back to you in three working days."

"Alright, thank you," Ida stood politely and walked out nervously. She breathed in deeply after appearing outside of the office.

The aura around those men who interviewed her was strong that it took her a lot of effort to answer the questions being asked.

She then began to walk towards the elevator but she suddenly heard a familiar voice call on to her, "Ida."

She turned and was stunned to see her sister, Janie. She frowned as she remembered how happy she was about how her ex husband, Olga killed her baby five years ago. She waited until Janie got before her.

Janie was dressed in an office suit and an office skirt, she looked very corporate. She smirked and asked demeaningly, "what are you here for?"

"For an interview. Why did you call me?" She asked.

"For an interview?" Janie scoffed," you dropped out of university, remember? Did you think you will be employed here?"

Such an idiot! If only Janie knew that she had not been sitting and wailing all these years and that she had braced herself up and pursue her career again, she wouldn't be here uttering this nonsense.

"It seems you have nothing really reasonable to say, I'll take my leave," Ida said and when she was about to turn, Janie held her hand quickly and tightened her hand around her wrist.

Ida was angry that she was trying to hurt her when she had done nothing and then flinged her hand away, Janie took advantage of that to fall flat with a scream.

The two men discussing by a side saw what happened and one of them ran towards Janie, before he got to where Janie was, she was already on the floor. This man was Olga, Ida's ex husband.

Ida felt a storm of anger build up seeing the man who killed her child many years back.

"What did you do to her?" Olga asked in a loud and angry voice as if he was ready to beat Ida for Janie.

Ida threw a resounding slap to his face, it was unexpected that the few people passing by expressed shocked.

Who dare to slap Olga Nelson? That person is yet to be born but a casual woman just slapped him.

Ida had slapped him cause of the pain that quickly built up in her heart about the loss of her child. If not that this bastard killed her child, she would have been a mother by now.

Olga held his cheek in shock, he even forgot about Janie who was on the floor .

"You dare to slap me?" There was fury in his voice.

"I will do that again and again. You deserve more than slap actually and... don't think I'm done with you. You killed my child and you won't go unpunished,"Ida threatened and had barely taken two steps when Olga held her hand and pulled her to himself.

"Disgusting!" She cursed and withdrew her hand forcefully, in a quick succession, she threw two resounding slaps to his face and walked away.

Olga had never been embarrassed in all his life, there were even some gossipers and passer bys who took a video record of the happening and had already uploaded it on the internet anonymously.

Olga is a public figure, he was one of the most popular CEOs and had come from one of the most powerful families in the city. He had come here with Janie to talk about a business deal with B Corporation.

B Corporation is the fastest rising company in the country and it's weird that the company started just three years ago yet it had dominated many industries and even dominated Olga's company that use to be the biggest. He had wanted to secure a partnership with them but he didn't expect to meet with his ex wife here.

When Janie excused herself from him a few minutes ago, he had no idea that Ida was the one Janie was going to meet until she had to attend to Janie at a time when she was screaming and falling.

It's just five years and Ida had grown so violent? Olga thought to himself. First, she pushed Janie, her dear sister to the floor heartlessly and now, the calm woman he used to know slapped him three times?

He looked at Janie who had eventually stood by herself and was sobbing quietly, he glanced around and the people who had been watching immediately dissapeared before he caught sight of their face.

"My sister hates me so much, I don't know what I have done to her," she sobbed.

"She has crossed her boundaries by slapping you and slapping me in public, I'll teach her what pain is," he swore and hugged her dearly.

Ida actually didn't go inside the elevator, she hide behind a pillar and sobbed. She had acted out of frustration and pain. She thought she would have healed over the years but seeing her ex husband again, the man who killed her dear child ? And also seeing him trying to defend her sister against her hurts her so much. Are those two in a relationship? She thought to herself. She had loved Olga since she was thirteen years old.

She peeped through the wall and saw Olga cuddling her sister, the sight pierced her heart like an arrow would. The sharp pain she felt made her retreat back to the pillar.

More tears shamelessly fell from her face that her eyes became blurry.

A voice unexpectedly spoke very close to her, "I don 't like women that cry?"
