To Ethan everywhere moved in slow pace, he couldnât remember when last he was hit by anyone, all his hurtful memories of the pain he has went through came pouring down on him, then the anger and then the rage, he was so going to kill Nadia for having the thought to slap him.
Immediately Nadia slapped Ethan, jack spring up from his seat, he looked shocked but he quickly got himself as he rushed to create a blockage for Nadia so Ethan could not do anything stupid, he knew Nadia was done for, and he was just in time to prevent Ethan from hitting Nadia as him hand was already on the air few inches from Nadiaâs face, Nadia was shocked relieving she was almost slapped by Ethan if not for the intervention of the young man that was now standing in between her and Ethan, she stepped back as Ethan was trying so to push through the young man to get to her, Ethan eyes was now blood as he stared at Nadia, how dare she slapped him, and how dare jack block his way preventing him from dealing with her.
â how dare you, how f**king dare youâ Ethan barked angrily as he pushed forward but was always pushed back by Jack,
â man, you need to calm down, and you take her out of hereâ he shouted at Richard who has been standing there transfix, he quickly got himself and hurriedly dragged Nadia out of the office,
â haaaaa, am f—–g going to kill herâ Ethan shouted in rage heading for the door but jack was fast enough, he blocked the door preventing him from getting out, he knows his friend was on the edge now and nothing could stop him from exploding.
â get out of my wayâ he shouted at jack
â you need to cool this off, okey,â â she slapped meâ
â I know but please calm down, you are not leaving here until you are calmâ
â okey am calmâ he said trying to behave clam
â no you are notâ
â I said an f—–g calmâ he snapped at jack
â no you are notâ jack barked at him
Ethan with annoyance went to his desk in one go throwed everything to the ground, he was so angry right, he canât just get over the thought that he was just slapped by a woman.
â what is wrong with you miss Nadia, do you know what you just didâ Richard fired at her as soon as they got into the elevator, Nadia wasnât pleased with what she did but at the same time didnât regret it, Ethan deserves more than that for putting her father in his present situation, she ignored Richard not interested in what he was saying .
â look I know you are angry but you went to far, you just put a lot of people in problemâ
Nadia looked up at him not understanding what he meant
â what do you mean?â
â he will definitely ask how you were able to pass the front desk, the second and third desks then the security without being stopped or questioned, and it will all fall to me, I was the one that passed the order that no one should question you whenever you come around, am definitely going to get sack, he will sack somebody, if not everyone â
That was when it hits her, thatâs why she was able to get through without no check up
â oh my Godâ, she believed everything that Richard told her, someone like Ethan will definitely do as she was told.
Back at Ethanâs office he was still angry and wasnât even close to calming down, jack was still standing at the door, he wanted to be rest assured that Ethan was relaxed before he could step out of the door
â I will so make her pay, she will come rolling on her knees when am done with her, her and her family anyone close to her will hear from meâ
â just calm down a little will youâ
â calm, of course I will be calm after am done with all the plans I have for her, she will so see it comingâ
Jack knew his friend meant every words he said, he just canât believe Nadia could make such mistake, she really picked the wrong guy.
â come on man, she just hurt and angry, you actually just bankrupted her father, who wouldnât do more than what she just didâ
â do I look like I care, where is my phone and where is my f—–g PAâ
Just then there was a knock on the door, Jack knowing it was Richard opened up for him to get through, Richard entered into the office slowly, he was so scared of what will happen to him if his boss gets to find out that he was the reason Nadia was able to get to his office, he shouldnât have gave that order, now he knows it will cost him his job and that of some workers.
â and bring Frank and Max to my office right now, they have to explain to me how that b—h was able to get into my officeâ he ordered, Frank was the head of security and Max was the head of staff, he already knows what was about to happen, he have to take responsibility for his actions, he wouldnât want anyone to pay for it.
â sirâ he called not sure on how to say it.
â why are you still standing there or are you deafâ he has been shouting non stop and he just couldnât hold himself back
â sir, I was the one that gave the order of free passage to Nadiaâ he said with his head bow, Jack eyes grown in shock, his friend was going to definitely sack him.
Ethan couldnât contain his anger, he felt betrayed
â you gave free passage to my enemyâs daughter into my company, my companyâ he just canât get over this fate,
â am really sorry sir, I will never make such mistake again, I beg of youâ
â there wonât be room for that, I want you to get out of my sight, out of my company and never to step your foot here ever againâ
â Ethan, donât you thinkâŠ.â
â stay out of this Jack â he interrupted Jack
â sir please, am sorryâ he said admit tear now, he was the bread winner of his family, his mother and two sisters look up to him for everything, how was he going to get a good job as good as this and with good pay, it took him two years after he graduated to get this job, his mother and siblings are the only reason he has been tolerant towards Ethan, now he just lose his job all because of a good gesture.
â one more word from you then you will see your ass in jail, I donât want to call the security on youâ
â Richard, come on, itâs better you leave, comeâ jack took Richard by the hand and took him out of the office, he wouldnât want Richard to be dragged out like a criminal.
â listen, he is still pissed off okey, once he is down he will call you, he will definitely miss his PA, and believe me there is no better PA than youâ
â what if he doesnât callâ
â he will, you know your bossâ
â thatâs the point, I know him, he has never called any one that he has sacked backâ
â he will make an exception in your case, so go home and donât think too much about it okeyâ
â thanksâ
â you are welcome â
Richard walked away while Jack returned to the office, he was now annoyed at his friend, he didnât know if he will be able to convince his to call Richard back but he has to assure Richard for the boyâs sake
â what is your problem, why will you have to sack him, that guy has Been working for you for so long now and he has never for once made a mistake which you and I know, this is his first error, why canât you just let it goâ
â well his first mistake got me a slap on my faceâ
â I have never interfere with any one you have ever sacked, I donât care if you are piss off, if you are angry and if this is your company but you see that young man, you are going to call him back and give him back his job, am not telling you what to do but itâs the right thing to doâ
with that he sat do no the seat, both ignoring each other as Ethan also sat down, all his thoughts right now was how to punish Nadia. in as much as Jack was angry with Ethan he just couldnât leave him alone, he wouldnât want Ethan to do anything stupid, even if Ethan wonât accept at, he seriously needs someone around him right now.
