Chapter 3 Bullied by the rich

CHAPTER THREE

Charlotte with her charming eyeballs and dazzling shaded lips reflecting the radiant sun with her shining lip gloss was in her workplace attending to buyers and working tirelessly.

Thank you Miss for buying from us,we look forward to having you again. Charlotte said to one of the customers she just attended to with a broad smile on her face

Hey girl! Come over here,a loud voice was heard audibly right from the entrance of the mall.

Without expecting someone to call her, Charlotte continued her work as she was singing and dancing with a tray in her hand as if she just won a gift.

Suddenly,from behind a huge hand touched her. Shocked,she looked back and just to find a very hefty man before her with thick muscles. She was trembled as his appearance sent thousands of impulses to her brain and fear ran through her spine.

It was Charles's bodyguard. He said in a commanding tone,"Mr Charles wants you over there"

Despite what happened the previous night, Charlotte was trying to control herself. On hearing this, Charlotte lost her patience now forgetting the size of the man in front of her.

Who the heck is he to call me when he knows I'm here working my ass out? Charlotte raised her voice that everyone's attention in the hall was directed towards her.

Some of Charlotte's coworkers were whispering.

Is that not Charles Astor the owner of this mall?,a lady said

Charlotte must have lost her mind for rejecting his call, another lady said

I'm afraid she might end up losing her Job today,one of the customers said as he wheels his trolley around

Seeing the reluctance of Charlotte,the bodyguard didn't even wait a moment before he lifted Charlotte with his hand and carried him as if she was not even human to where Charles is.

You bitch,who do you think you are huh? Charles said

Charlotte was still struggling in the arms of the guard who carried her as her leg was unable to touch the ground and the guard was holding her , wrapping his huge arms round her waist.

Leave me alone you idiot, Charlotte shouted

Hahaha! You little thing,you still have the gut to respond and curse me huh? You should have a death wish. Charles laughed

You fools,leave me alone and don't provoke me, Charlotte bragged

Oh put her down before he beats the hell out of us. Charles giggled

Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief after she was let go of the guard's firm grip

What do you want from me? Charlotte yelled as she breathed heavily

I like you, Charles said as he gave her a flirtatious look.

Charlotte was irritated with this gesture and spat on the ground as if Charles had said something so nasty to the ears.

Do you like me? Oh really you do? You must be a joker, Charlotte said mockingly

You bitch,you don't talk to Mr Charles like that,you must have a death wish, one of the guards said

Hahaha you seem to be so full of yourself,you are from a rich family I guess huh?. You really can't be working here if your father is rich. Charles mocked

This made Charlotte really heartbroken and she lost all the happiness she has been trying to build since she returned to work that morning. She raised up her head trying to hold back the tears finding ways to roll down her eyes and down her cheeks. She broke down finally and began to cry.

Charles and his guard mocked her like she has no parent to cater for her.

She is poor but beautiful, hahaha. One of the guards mocked

She can't even afford a good dress, another said

You'd better plead with Mr Charles so he could consider making your family rich and help your wretched father, another guard added

They all laughed, hahaha!

Charlotte couldn't hold it anymore,tears rolled down her cheeks. Her shoulders were shivering while she sobbed bitterly as she walked to her post slowly.

Everybody was left in awe as to why the son of the richest man in the city and the owner of that mall could be so wicked and unsympathetic.

That serves her right,who dares disobey the Astors,a chubby woman said

Shut that stinking opening you call mouth and get the fuck out of here if you're so dumb to start making baseless and biased judgement,an old man yelled at the chubby and she left the scene shamefully

...

Mummy! Charlotte is back, Amelia said as she jumped on Charlotte to greet her

My dear,how are you? Grace asked as he rubbed her hair softly

I'm fine mum, Charlotte said with tiredness visible in her tone

I have a good news for you, Grace said as she danced like a kid

What's that mum? Charlotte asked worriedly
