Chapter 2

I kick started the engines and we were out of the Airport, I'd say the traffic actually got better because I was able to reach the car accident I created in no time

I wind down my window as I approached the Honda car

"Hey dude, hope all is well? Wish you a safe journey to the police station" I wined up and sped out of that place.

"Who was that?" The woman who I just realized was in the car with me asked, it's not my fault, she's been silent since she got into the car so I kind of forgot she was here anyway

"Oh! You startled me. Anyway, that was some dude who tried to cut lines" I shrugged 

"How long will the journey be?" She asked 

"Well let's say... maybe less than an hour that is, if there's no traffic" I replied

"Maybe? You mean you're not sure?" 

Ugh duh... Why would I say maybe if I wasn't sure, is she trying to mess up my mood right now?

Theodore turned to her with a dulled face as he replies " That's how it is sometimes, if there's no traffic you get there 30-40 minutes, if there is then, about an hour plus" 

"30-40 minutes is still not precise, do you know the accurate time we'll get there?" She retorted still being adamant 

 Hold up, hold up, hold up! I think I liked you better with your mouth shut, like excuse me, what the hell do you mean by "accurate time?" I feel like throwing you out of this damn car! Bish do you know the exact time your flight landed? Or or how late I was when I picked you up, what about the exact hour, minute, second, millisecond, yes! millisecond  you showed up on this earth? I am so not the god of time so don't ask me stupid questions like this

"No" I answered, of course I can't say what I'm thinking right now but she's pissing me off with her dumb questions, she a perfectionist or something?

"Alright, tell me how the company is"  Really sister? We gonna go there right now? Okay, I see what you're doing and I'm going to play along fine 

"Like how exactly?" Reply a dumb question with another dumb question

"I mean the day to day running operations like the winning of contracts, getting the materials for the job" she rolled her eyes at me. Oh so now you know how it feels eeh.

"Oh that, we ohm... We get the contract when the clients are impressed with our presentation or slide shows or little sweet talks so they favor our styles and concepts, we get the gig we celebrate. We also have a ware house where we stock our supplies of raw materials and paints and other tools" Blah blah blah

"That doesn't seem to be like a coordinated approach" She shrugged and I'm like whattttt???

Look here sissy, if you have a complaint please report to our customers service, and if I see a letter from you I'll definitely burn it down because you're gonna give me a bad report, I just know. Besides, is she a law agency or what? I bet if she were a teacher, I would never attend her class. No wonder she's not my type, I could feel it, I'm sure we cannot co-exist in the same environment.

"Okay at least answer this, what's the organizational structure like?" 

"Organizational what now?" I furrowed my brows, now she's just playing with my intelligence, you want to show off that you're a smarty pants right? I don't like smarty pants, they're not fun to play with in bed.

"Just forget about it, maybe its too much for you but you ought to know it though"  Now she's just mocking me, wow lady, just who are you?

"How long have you been working for the company?" 

"Geez, get off my case will ya. 2 and a half years" 

"And how was your employment process?" 

"I was recommended by Mrs. Cecelia, so I didn't go through that" Of course after we had a good time together I kind of told her I needed a job, she feel so hard for me and I ended up getting this one, She's not in town right now and boy am I glad, don't want no old hag trouble, just imagine her showing up in my office 

I chuckle 

She snapped her head in my direction "What're you laughing about?"

"Nothing" You need to leave my life ASAP that's what

"You should be paying more attention to the road" She said cautiously

"Excuse me, but can I ask you a question?" I want to know what your problem is really

She nods and I go ahead "So you have to know every detail, without giving a + or -2 margin for error? No?" 

"When you give margins for error then they occur" She shrugged 

Great! she's a perfectionist, how do people live with girls like you? I'd rather sleep on the roof top or with an ugly girl but not you, definitely not your kind.

"Failure is part of human learning, if we can't deal with it then, that's when we eventually start failing the more" 

She narrowed her eyes at me as she prepared for a comeback "But, when you start dealing with failure on a minimum scale then it won't become a problem in the future"

Ah ah, I've already prepared my own comeback too "But, when the big ones occur and you can't deal with it because you haven't encountered it before what then do you do?"

"You always predict what circumstances will lead to failure and avoid them" she rolls her eyes. What? Really? You know what, I can't do this anymore, you win Gabi and I hope this never happens again.

"You know what? I don't have time for this crap. We're here"  I sigh, she just won't back down.

I pull up at the gate and after several horns the guard finally opens up. I steer the car to the parking lot and we both get out

I seriously don't know where the fatso came from as he rushed to her side 

"Welcome Miss Gabriella, how was your journey? I hope he didn't give you trouble?" I mentally rolled my eyes, she's the one who gave me a darn headache

"It was good" She smiled and she's already giving a fake smile, pretty harsh for a newbie

"Please come with me" He said and I just fake smiled all the way until I got to the cafeteria, I take my food to my favourite table in the cafeteria, the 3rd table to the left. I call it the blessed table, you can see every single thing happening in the cafeteria, It's also called blessed because I recently saw a beautiful wardrobe malfunction from Reiner the gold digger, she's got fine ass man, I don't want to go into full descriptions

"Hey man" My best friend and co-worker Jerry came to sit on our blessed table

"What's up, your eyes are dull like a bulldog's own, who got you worked up?"

"Dude I just had the worst 1 hour 30 minutes drive with some girl from the airport" 

He shakes his head at me and I don't know why  "You hitting on random airport girls now aren't you?" 

"No No Jerry, it's not like that even though that's a good idea, I didn't hit on this one, she's a pain in the ass. Kept asking unnecessary questions" I sight Reiner walking into the cafeteria and she's wearing that skimpy dress again but I can't take my eyes off her

"Questions like what?" Jerry said as he followed my gaze to meet Reiner

"You know how someone's new to the city and they ask questions like, how's the city, is it beautiful during night fall? those kind of stuff but this one asks me how the company is, how long I've worked here and how long the freaking journey is to the office" I sighed as I went back to my food 

"Those aren't bad questions broh, especially the journey one" Jerry sighed 

"Yeah, you know how traffic is these days so I gave her an estimated time, yet she was like "maybe means I'm not sure" She wanted to know the exact hour, minute, second. How annoying is that? I'm not a god of time you know" I sipped my smoothie

"She's giving you the boss talk" he says

"Like, I don't even want to think about it" I sigh, just then, Jerry nudges me 

He raises his brows as if pointing me towards something "Here comes Reiner"

"God has brought another miracle to cheer me up" I smile

"Dude, she's not going to rip her cloths today" 

"Let's watch and see, take my phone and record anything out of the ordinary" I gave him my phone as I proceeded to my next course of action 

I walked in front of Reiner and I dropped a 20nen bill on the exit floor 

"Oh Reiner, isn't that yours?" I asked, I know she loves money so much

"Yeah, thanks Theo" she said and I walked away

Just then, Reiner bent down to pick up the 20 nen when her dress tore from the back, all the way to her shoulders

"Dude!!" Jerry yelled as he recorded everything. Then he opened the phone to watch it again when he realized that a cleaner passed that split second and covered Reiner

"Did you get it?" I rushed to Jerry and picked my phone from him

"Dude!! What's a freaking cleaner doing in the video!!" I yell 

"I'm sorry but you missed it and you'll never see what I saw, it was marvelous." Jerry fantasized and I face palmed myself 

"At least describe, please" I begged 

"It's something my mouth can't explain" he teased 

"I'll so get you for this" I sighed, This day is Soo not my day

"All workers, report to the main hall. I repeat, all workers! Report to the main hall" 

***

After all the workers had assembled, Fatso picked up the mic to address us

"Today is a very special day in the company as we are about to take a step forward in growth and progress of the company. Without further ado, I'd like to call on our new President, Mrs Gabi Moroñe" He claps and everybody starts clapping while she steps onto the podium and my jaw practically drops to the floor

"You know her somewhere?" Jerry asks and I turned to him a little flustered

"She's the perfectionist I drove some minutes ago" 

"Really? Now she turns out to be your boss? Did you offend any old lady?"

"Of course I didn't" I hissed

"Hmmm... cause this looks like a situation of what goes around, comes around thing, sure you didn't do something wrong?"

"I hope she doesn't remember me, because I gave her a hard time and we even..." I bit my lip

"You even what?" Jerry looked at me suspiciously 

"We argued, not my fault broh she caused it. I'll just keep a low profile for some days and let things cool off, I don't want to loose this God damn job" 

"What if things doesn't cool off?"

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there" I sighed...

I really don't know what's going to happen next but I fear she's gonna be a big problem in my life, I can just feel it!
