Stalked by the Mafia Boss

She stared at the man in suit, her hands angrily gripping the tray she was holding, at this point she wanted to badly to smack his head with it. She wondered what sound would resonate if she actually hit the tray on his bald head.

“Do you know who I am?” The man growled, “Have you people here have no respect for people of the higher class?”

Korina rolled her eyes at him, really?

“Mr Russo.” Ms. Susan said calmly, “I apologize, I am so sorry on her behalf.” She pleaded with the man.

Ass licker, Korina scoffed at them both, both of you are alike.

“I want that bitch to apologise to me this instance.” The man demanded, “I want an apology.”

Me? A bitch? Korina glared at him and was ready to jump on him and knock some sense into his bald head.

“Apologise Korina.” She got no response.

“I said apologise now.” The woman gritted seeing she wasn’t getting any response.

“I am sorry.” She snarled, “I humbly apologise sir.”

“She was rude.” Mr Russo complained, “I want her to apologise again.”

“Korina.” Her boss warned.

“I am sorry.” She smiled.

“Good.” Ms. Susie nodded, “Now go get him another cup of coffee.”

She returned soon enough with it and placed the cup of coffee on the table.

“Here you go sir.” She said, “Enjoy!”

The man looked up and eye balled her from head to toe.

“How much to get you in bed with me?” He asked suddenly.

What the fuck?! Korina was beyond shocked, is ‘I am a hooker’ fucking written on my forehead?

“What did you just ask me sir?” She asked again just to be sure of what he said.

“I said how much to get you in bed with me?” He smirked, “What would it take to get you home with me for a night, that’s all you black women are good for or am I wrong?”

Korina glared at him and then she did the unexpected. She raised the stainless tray she held and brought it down forcefully on the man’s head, the sound echoes through the restaurant and she smiled.

It was exactly the sound she thought it would make and it was satisfactory.

“What the hell Korina?” Ms Susie cried, “Do you want to keep chasing my customers away?”

Korina just stared at the woman as she ranted, she knew she was nuts but she never thought she would be crazy enough to take that mad man’s side.

“You shall be suspended for 2 weeks and half of your salary is to be withheld.” She proclaimed.

“Yippe!” Korina screamed excitedly, “Thank you very much.” She pulled off her apron in one swift move and dumped it on her boss’s table.

Ms. Susie looked at her, she was perplexed by her reaction.

“See you in two weeks time madam.” She turned around and danced as she made her way out of the office, her boss watched her as she got out joyously, she began to regret her decision. What she thought would actually serve as a punishment turned out to be a huge relief for the girl.

Being suspended was a real source of happiness for Korina. She was sure her boss was shocked and livid at her reaction but she didn’t care, maybe the lady expected her to beg for mercy at the mention of her salary being deducted, she didn’t give two hoots about that either, she would make up for it.

She had a lot to do with the time and she was ready to take much advantage of it.

Ever since Cole broke her heart and ditched her for the duchess, she tried to move on with her life and also put her super good baking skills to use.

She began baking not as a hobby anymore but for money at a small scale and she was earning quite well from it, actually more than she expected.

It had increased her income and helped her in meeting ends meet instead of waiting for her salary or dipping in her savings and she got quite a few stable customers.

Korina had it hard keeping up with her baking schedule cause of work, her boss’s over demanding attitude had given her little or no time to meet up with her side business hence she was elated by the news of her suspension.

“No girls, I wouldn’t be able to hang out with you guys tonight.” She was having a conference call with her friends as she got out of the taxi, her phone held to her ear with her shoulder and her hands were filled with grocery shopping bags.

“What are you busy with exactly?” Anne asked impatiently, “Why are you suddenly not free?”

“I got two kid parties to deliver cakes to tomorrow and I would have to start working on it tonight, the batches I have to deliver are much.” She explained, she was getting into the elevator now and was glad that no one was in it and she would have to ride alone.

“Seems the suspension really worked out in your favour then.” Daniella laughed, “In that bitch’s face.”

“Yea right.” Korina agreed, “She has no idea, you should have seen her reaction when I was so excited after she announced that I was suspended. I couldn’t hide my joy, I practically danced out of her office.”

“I bet she was shocked as hell.” Anne laughed, “Now you got more time to work and some relief from her nasty ass.”

“Of course.”

“We would be there tomorrow to help you dispatch the cakes.” Anne said.

“Thanks a lot you guys.” She smiled, she appreciated all her friends have been doing for her.

“I love you bitches, bye.” She ended the call after they said their goodbyes and got out of the elevator.

Korina unlocked the door to her apartment, she got in struggling trying to balance the shopping bags of baking products and groceries that she carried. She threw her keys on the sofa and stumbled her way to the kitchen.

She dumped the bags on the kitchen counter and let out a sigh, she had a long and stressfull shopping evening.

After taking dinner, she went back to the kitchen wearing her apron and chef hat.

“Time to get started.” She rubbed her palms together as she stood there staring at the ingredients.

Jace sprung up from his bed, the sheets covering him earlier now pooled around his waist, he was heaving and sweating heavily, his chest matted with sweat and the sheets were damp too.

He threw the sheets aside and got off the bed, the chilly wind blowing from his open window caused him to shiver. He grabbed a robe, got out of his room, down the stairs and to the kitchen.

It wasn’t hard to find his pills even with the memories from his nightmare clouding his vision. After downing the pills, he didn’t go back to sleep.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jace took a chair and got seated at the terrace of his room, he sat there staring into the dark night terrified of going back to sleep.
