Provoked

15. Punishment.

Author's POV,

She walked out of the limo as a bodyguard opened the door for her. The place looked so secluded and private with lots of cars and bodyguards surrounding her.

Everyone there wore black suits with no hint of any other colour. That girl who radiated the vibes of the boss wore black coolers and a customized suit.

The building echoed with the sound of her heels as she walked into the entrance. There was a guy with innocent looks at the reception who bowed to the boss with full respect.

She walked into the cabin while taking a glance at two women and a man outside. Three of them were waiting for her for more than hours but they couldn't complain. They weren't in a position to.

After a few minutes of arrival, the boss called them for a private meeting. They walked into a room that had a long table at the centre with chairs surrounding it.

" I feel guilty " a brunette out of the three-spoke up.

"Don't be! We are the for you" the man said while the other women intertwined her hands with the latter in a gesture to trust her.

The door sprang open but the three of them stood still knowing whose presence is that.

" Stay out" the boss commanded to her bodyguards.

"Pleasure to meet you! I have heard a lot about you" she said to the brunette who showed no response but an urge to pour out her questions.

"So, you are the new boss?" she asked while the black-haired girl and the guy stayed silent.

"Apparently!" she said taking a seat.

" Am I over with this?" brunette asked.

" You are cuz we made another person to take charge!" the boss said.

"But I am interested! You can't just push me out of this" she shouted which made the boss raise eyebrows.

"You can't push me out of this" she repeated but this time silently.

"You don't make orders" she said.

" I am just taking a break but still I am doing the job" the brunette protested.

"Please give her another chance" the black-haired woman who stayed silent finally uttered a word for her.

"We promise, we won't ruin it" the guy said.

"After you finish this! You will be in Thailand" The rude woman who is known for ordering people around said.

Lisa hurried into the entrance as she knows she is running late for the staff meeting that she was supposed to attend compulsorily. She pushed the door open with loud noise and panting which made people glance at the incoming.

"You're Late" Minnie said.

"Better late than never" Lisa removed her coat and hanged it on the stand.

The meeting was based on the foods that can be placed on the special menu. Few chefs came up with new recipes which the staff members tasted and gave their feedback. Since Lisa didn't have her breakfast she took this as an opportunity to feed herself.

As everyone got back to work, Lisa made her way to attend to customers. She placed her belongings in her assigned locker and wore her apron while she tied her hair into a neat bun. she dropped the pocket notepad into her pocket before heading to a table of customers waiting to give an order.

"Lisa? Can I have a word with you?" Minnie asked.

"Sure but before that, I must congratulate you on your promotion as chief" Lisa hugged her.
