WEST
After a while of driving, Aerith pulled over right in front of the building boldly written "Luminous Eternity Care" my company.
Aerith and I elegantly pranced in with everyone bowing down at me. Zyra spotted us and immediately scuttled to us, she seemed to be flinching.
"It's good to see you Miss West. You didn't mention to me that you would be coming today" she winced as her eyes were downcast. She's the Manager of this company and also a member of our Mafia Clan.
"How would I? When you and Faxon missed the council meeting yesterday" I rasped with precision clear in my voice.
"Ahem...I...I....Miss West.....I" she was losing her touch of words as the opposition grew stronger in my eyes. I hate it when someone doesn't take critical issues seriously.
I gave her a stink eye with a hint of displeasure passing over my face. They had no right whatsoever to miss the council meeting that only comes up once in a month. But also I was in no mood to caution an adult.
"Just forget about it, I'll let this one slid. I'm here for a beauty drip" I demanded with my voice colder than the Arctic and I began making my way inside with the both following me.
"Miss West please this way, I will take you to the VIP section for the beauty drip" Zyra suggested eagerly
"No!" I halted and turned to face them. Aerith still masked her face with total seriousness. "I will have it at the general section, that's my own way of monitoring the progress of this company"
My voice drops with annoyance causing her to flinch a bit. I pranced into the general section room, they were few women there having their beauty drips.
The general section room is where less p*****t is made for the beauty drip but the drip here doesn't last for an hour, unlike the VIP section.
I sat at one of the relaxing chairs there and Aerith excused herself along with Zyra who couldn't wait to leave my presence because of fear.
Soon Alice came to me with a smile tugging at her lips, she's one of the workers who attends to the women at the general section.
"It's very nice to see you again Miss West" she greets and I gave her a soft smile. She reached for her drip and pulls out the Hypodermic needle. After the arrangement was done, she proceeded into piercing the needle into my veins through my hand.
I winced and clenched my eyes close as the pain shot into my brains. Within a minute she was done, after connecting the needle with the drip.
She then looks up at me with a smile plastered on her face as usual. My eyes darted towards the door to find a guy standing at the entrance of the general room, a familiar face too.
"Alice, what's your low budget boyfriend doing here?" I asked with repulsion slipping through my voice. She navigated her eyes to the door and I noticed a frown on her face.
"I already broke up with him Miss West but he just wouldn't let me be" she bemoans with genuine worry laced in her eyes.
"Go get his broke ass out of this place" I demanded and darted my eyes to my phone, scrolling down like I knew what I was actually inputting.
I felt her leave heading to the door but I didn't bother to look. What is the damn use of having a boyfriend? A broke one for precision. They will shatter your heart after they must have gained what they needed from you.
I began hearing indistinct voices, the both of them were arguing about something best known to them. Suddenly I heard a sound coming from the entrance and I jerk my gaze to find Alice holding her cheeks and tears streaming down her face.
Did that i***t slap her? I fumed and swiftly yanked off the Hypodermic needle from my veins and pitching it to the floor. Wisp of air escaped from the lips of some ladies who were awake as they watched in shock.
I didn't bother about whatever injury I've given myself as I abruptly walk to the entrance with a scowl on my face. I was going to slap him back but Alice gave me a pleading look, calming down my rage.
"Why did you slap her?" my voice drops scornfully as I look at him from his head. The moron is not just broke but also a short clown.
"It's none of your business, this is between I and my girlfriend" he fires and a half disdainful smile hangs on my lips.
"And that's what guts me to the core, you called her your girlfriend and not your freaking wife!" I snapped furiously, glaring at him before my gaze were casted on Alice.
"Alice, why do you still tolerate this low budget scum bag? Because if it were me that he slapped, I would have made him forget that he has to wake up tomorrow"
He fumed as he gawks at me, "What do you think you are? You think you can intimidate me because of your height and heels?"
A mocking chuckle escapes my lips before I try to stifle it, "Wow, well just confess it already, you feel extremely petrified by my height. I'm certain you can communicate with the dead because you're so close to the ground ". Alice gasps in amusement while his face darkened, like he was about to pummel me into a pulp.
"How dare you!?" he steps forward authoritatively
"I would suggest you take a step back if you don't want to reunite with your ancestors" my voice drops in a disdainful dangerously low whisper.
Men like himself does not deserve to live, their fate should be six feet under. He flinched at my threat as he takes a step back.
I then turn to look at Alice with a soft smile, "Are you okay?". She immediately nods at my tender question.
My gaze went back to the scum bag who shivered, "Now let me sound this as a precised warning, the next time I see you anywhere close to her again; I promise you that, that day would be the last time you will ever have to breathe" I threatened with a stern face.
He didn't hesitate as he left with his tail tucked between his legs.
"Thank you so much Miss West" Alice gave a weak smile and I nodded. Immediately her eyes darted to my left hand, she gasps
"Miss West your hand? You're bleeding" her eyes dilated in horror. I navigated my eyes to my bleeding hand and I frowned. The Hypodermic needle! I really hate it when a defenseless girl is being abused and maltreated by a guy or anyone, I know how it feels not to be gallant enough to fight, because I've been there once.
Alice helps with my injury since she's a professional nurse. Almost all the workers in Luminous Eternity Care are professional nurses in the area of giving the beauty drips.
West's voice over
"Left for me, I would say 'men are the lowest of the lowest of scums'. They think they run the world but in reality, women gain the upper hand than them. Women knows how properly to deal with a man. But like the saying goes, 'All men are not the same'. At least one person makes me believe that"
