章節 41: Chapter 9: Part 5 - Heather
Footsteps could be heard outside in the corridor as Ms Jun pinned me to the armrest of the couch.
I felt myself snap out of the reverie that I had been plunged into by Ms Jun's body on my body, and I found the strength to push her back. Ms Jun gave me a little pout but reached out for some serviettes and stood up with the contract in hand as the door to the parlour swung open.
A tall long-haired brunet stood in the doorway, hands akimbo as she glared at Ms Jun. She was dressed in a sleek navy blue pants suit and had her top button undone and her tie loosened as if she had been fiddling with it.
"Another aesthetic hire I see" she said curtly, looking at me sternly, " I told you to stop hiring pretty girls you want to flirt with, as they don't last a week!"
Ms Jun smiled and covered her face with the contract " Whatever do you mean Heather? Ms Yoshida is quite competent, her looks are the icing on her cake" Ms Jun said, then looked back at me and winked.
I smiled weakly, still having not recovered from the last 5 minutes.
"Go, the kitchen staff is fretting without your constant supervision. I'll take over from here" Heather barked, snatching the contract from Ms Jun.
"Oh, so testy, fine I'll be going now," Ms Jun said and turned to me " We will continue our discussion another time then"
"No, you won't, I will go through the steps, get!" Heather said, grabbing Ms Jun by the collar and kicking her out of the room, slamming the door in her face.
" See you later Sarah~" Ms Jun's voice could be heard on the other side of the door and then footsteps faded as Ms Jun walked down the hall.
Heather stood there for a second, rubbing her forehead. Then she looked up at me " Five minutes. I always time how long it takes for her to get the contract from me and walk over here to the meeting room. After five minutes I come and check on things because that woman cannot be trusted" Heather said and walked over to sit down across from me "Do you want to sue?" she asked, looking at me as she leaned forward and put her hands together, dead serious.
"N-No she, I-I" I started, waving my hands and trying to formulate a sentence, but the rum was getting to me " The cake is…I think…too rummy" I said and burped.
Heather frowned, then got up and went to a set of drawers near the door. She pulled open the drawer and low and behold, silverware! She grabbed a spoon and walked back and sat down, spooning up a piece of the cake to taste.
Heather cocked her head to one side as if trying to ascertain something about the cake.
"Did she give you anything else?" Heather asked.
"No, just the cake and the Latte" I replied.
Heather immediately picked up the Latte, which was almost finished, and took a sip. Her eyes immediately went wide.
"Did you ask for a shot of baileys in your Latte?" She asked sternly.
"No, she told me it was a regular Latte with espresso" I said " Honestly I usually just have my Latte with lots of cream…so I don't know what these extra flavours are like" I explained. I could feel myself getting dizzy, so I sat back in the chair.
Heather put her head in her hands and groaned " That imbecilic horrible sex manic. I'm gonna kill her. I'm gonna kill her and bury her body in a place where-", Heather started then stopped herself.
She looked up at me and smiled weakly "Look, this is no fault of your own. That girl is a sadist. But she is also my business partner. You are actually supposed to be working for me, as I needed a new cashier. Our current one is leaving soon to continue their studies. I understand if you want to sue, and I can tear up this contract and we can act like you never signed it, but I imagine that you signed this because you genuinely wanted a job".
I nodded, it was getting harder and harder to concentrate.
"Ok well, if I can promise that when you start work, you will work for me, and you won't be interacting with her at all, would you consider staying, just for a few months? Because I need someone, and I don't want to just kick you to the curb after my business partner assaulted you" Heather said, leaning back into the couch " I'll walk you down to the police station and we can file a report against her"
"H-How do you know she did something?" I asked, pulling off my hair tie. I wanted to sort my thoughts out, but I couldn't quite tie back my hair after that.
"This is not her first time. I wouldn't have come in if not for Amber, who came by and told me that she thinks you and Ms Jun would make a great couple. She only says that if Ms Jun has already been pretty forward about her desires around the cafe, while working. "
I shook my head. I didn't want to file a report. I also couldn't think straight.
"I'm… sorry. I don't think I am 100% here right now…I need this job, I really do. I can't afford to sue. I need-" I said and then everything went dark.
