Chapter 2

Rosa

He glared at me and I stood there waiting for him to apologize but instead he walked past me still talking on phone with whoever he might be communicating with.

I just lost my patience and whatever respect I had, if he had at least bumped into someone, he should apologize for what he had done.

"Young man." I yelled as I ran to him dragging him by his cloth back to me causing murmurs in the store.

Everyone's attention was now focused on us. "How dare you! You bumped into me, wasted my food and smoothie and you couldn’t even apologize or do something to amend whatever you just did.” I yelled at him.

It was enough that I was frustrated already but I can’t let one guy ruin my mood completely, it’ll be completely unfair, ahhhh.

He stared at me for a while, his expression cold and with no remorse, “Cat got your tongue.” I frowned.

"So how much do you need for me to compensate you? It was just food right? I didn’t hit you with my car or anything?" He asked which caught me off guard.

Who was this rude man?

"To think a low classless employee like you could talk back at me is disrespectful." He said and I glared at him in awe.

"And if you think this strategy of making me notice you will work then you are wrong because I’m not interested in bitches without manners."

That was it. I lost my temper completely, I raised my hand and hit him on his right cheek, he looked shocked at what I just did.

“Firstly young man, I am no bitch, secondly, I don’t understand what you are talking about me being an employee and even if I am, does that give you the right to talk shit about employees here, then thirdly, I rather look for attention of a dog than look for yours with no remorse of mistakes.”

That felt good to say. He rolled his eyes. But to be honest, he was handsome, top notch, exactly my spec, but the rudeness, that’s a red flag.

"You know what, this is one of my company and I know for sure you are one of my employees so wait for your dismissal letter." He said and smirked like he was proud of it.

I laughed at his words and that was when he frowned back. He must be expecting me to start begging him after the threat but who cares, um not even an employee.

"You must be dreaming because clearly, I am not one of your employee and I don’t look like someone who could work under you. News flash, even if I am, I’ll have given you a piece of my mind. I don’t know there are still bosses who treat their own employees like trash but here you are.“ I glared at him before leaving but stopped at the entrance.

"And mind you, my dress might be simple but it can buy yhis restaurant company, it’s too small for you to be bragging about.” He just stood there staring at me like he had seen a ghost.

Bastard!

I sighed as I came out of the airport, I was back in California after months. I decided I wouldn’t be back soon because the last meeting didn’t end well.

I stopped a cab and drove home, I paid him after I got down and walked towards the gate. The guards didn’t bother stopping me as they recognized me.

I remembered stepping out of the house in tears as my mother tried stopping me. They just wouldn't change their love for the first child, no matter how much I tried and that’s why I wouldn’t let them in my identity no matter what.

I pressed on the alarm door and the dood was opened a minute later by the maid and I walked inside elegantly. I was wearing a navy pink slim fitted gown and my bare back could be seen.

Stepping into the sitting room, I could see people sitting there. A man, a guy and a woman, my mom and dad opposite them with Diana all smiles beside them.

I scoffed, bunch of fools. “Guess who’s home?” I said to get their attention. All of them turned around and I frowned seeing the guy.

Not this rude jerk again, what’s he doing here? Or is it what I’m thinking? Looking at Diana, she was still staring at him.

"What are you doing here?"I asked him as I sat down opposite all of them comfortably, my dad glared at me but who cares.

He stared at me for a while and his face lit up for some reason.

"Aren't you the lady from my airport?" He asked instead, I really don’t like it when someone ignored what I said to ask me another question.

"I can remember I asked you a question first so I think that should be your number one answer and not you asking me another question." I fired at him and he smiled.

"Well it's obvious if I don't know anyone here, I wouldn't be here so would you quit asking irrelevant questions? Even if you don't know why I am here. You could have at least sensed that I came here for someone." He retorted and I scoffed. Diana glared at me.

"My Rosa." I heard my mother's voice. I didn’t really notice her since earlier so I rolled my eyes, I’m not your Rosa.

“I’m not your Rosa and if you don’t mind, can the meeting get started already, I’m losing my patience.” Everyone gasped except the guy.

"Just let's have a normal conversation and sort things out."
