Chapter 8 Aren't you his new whore

What are you doing here?" I glared at him. "Aren't you suppose to be in a more classy restaurant since you claimed to be Hardie?"

"That's not how to talk to your crush, you know." He said with a smirk.

I scoffs at his statement. "Don't tell me you are stalking me, or are you?" I pressed on further.

"And what if I am? What are you going to do about it, huh?" He switched to his flirting mood. Gosh! Why can't he be normal for once?

I turned around to return to my usual job post and felt a grip around my wrist. I turned back to meet with mr imposter's taunting smile and I was red.

"What the..."

He cut me short. "Please can I get extra package for take home?" He said like he wasn't flirting earlier.

"Hmm, sure." I gave him a dry smile. "I'll be right back." This guy isn't mentally stable, I guess. How can a man comfortably switch mood with in seconds?

Since I don't want to get caught up with his tactics anymore, I arranged his take home package and dropped it politely on his table. Before he could say jack I was back into the kitchen.

"With the way you were having a conversation with him, it seems like you know Him before." Min Hung said when I went back into the kitchen.

"He is no one important to me, though." I waved it off.

"What? You can't just say Hardie is no one important. I'm sure there is more to you guys." She countered.

"Yes, there is much more to them. Arlington is his newly found whore, that was why he..."

"Jesse, what did you just call me?" I angrily cut her short.

"Hardie's whore? So what? Aren't you his new whore?" Jesse taunted with a smug grin. Who made this bitch the manager anyways? Jesse doesn't worth being the manager here.

"Jesse please, not now." Min hung tried to interfere but earn a deadly glare from Jesse.

"Jesse, just watch your speech else I'm gon' loose it and I'm sure you will regret it."

"Yeah but the fact still remains the same here. You are too cheap to afford Hardie cause he is gon' leave you torn, dear bitch." She continued.

And that was it.

I got closer to her and gave her a resounding slap, before she could retaliate several blows was landing on her face. The bitch was just busy yelling without any effort to defend herself.

"What's going on here...?"

Boom! That voice sounds like Mr Darwin's, the restaurant owner...

"I say, What's all this happening here?" Mr Darwin asked with a demanding voice for the second time. "Why turn my restaurant into a boxing ring?"

Jesse and I couldn't utter a word, looks like our mouth was clamped with a padlock. Mr Darwin was getting all worked up with our awkward silence.

"I really don't know why you both turned dumbed all of a sudden, but anyways..." He paused as he gave us a hard stare. "Meet me in fifteen minutes." With that he walked out on us.

"Pttf... That's it, we are in for a lot of trouble." I breathe out.

"Yeah, all thanks to you." Jesse huffed. "But I'm sure you'll be in a greater trouble since you are a mere cook compared to me."

"Can you be any worse than this?" I glared at her. "Just shut up already."

She scoffs and walked out. "...Crazy." I huffed.

***

"I see no reason why you'll stoop so low to fight her, Jesse. For Pete's sake you are the manager here." Mr Darwin was surprisingly calm.

"I'm sorry sir..." Jesse mumbled to our hearing. "It was Arlington's fau..."

"No, it was. Based on the explanation you guys made, you are at fault and you need to apologize to her." Mr Darwin said. Jesse almost choke on herself and she looks like she's turning pale anytime soon.

"W-what..." She blurts. "I can't do that."

"Why can't you? You are wrong here and you can't utter a simple apology, huh?" Mr Darwin countered. "Just apologize for peace to reign."

"Fine. I'm sorry." she uttered between gritted teeth. Mr Darwin gave a sad sigh but said nothing.

"I'm sorry too." I said.

"You can go, Arlington." He said with a smile. "I need to have a word with Jesse."

I sniffed in the remains of my coke, ignoring the man before me.

"I've been standing before you for a while but you aren't saying any thing. What's all this shii, huh?" He said rather calmly.

"I'm not blind neither am I deaf, I'm busy right now. If you really desperate, you should wait longer." I growled at him.

He groaned deeply before speaking. "Fine, I'll wait. Cause you know how badly i want this, maybe that's why you are acting this way."

I hissed at his statement. "Alright, you can start talking. I'm not ready for your talks now."

"Here, this is the information I gathered about him." He handed me an envelop. "The pictures of the last operation is there. Please, I'm handling the rest over to you. I don't want any thing to go wrong at this stage."

"You taking me for a kid? I made this happen in the first place, remember?" I glared at him.

"I know. I'm just trying to... Okay, let's forget about it." The man sighed. "I'll get going, you can give me a call later."

I watched ad he walked out in a hasten, I don't really have much to say for now. For all I care, he should keep watching his back.

Cause after I'm done with the we both signed, I'm coming for him.

Yeah, he'll be my next target on list. I'm taking everyone who knows about this deal down, I don't care what type of relationship we share.

Fu.ck relationship and commitment, all I care about is money and more money...
