IS LOVE REALLY A THING?

CHAPTER 2

Don't forget to wear a smile.

SCARLET'S POV

It was almost 9 and I was super excited to leave the shop. Don't get me wrong.. Not that I hated the place so much that I couldn't spare to wait a second more,but I had to leave now before Mr Suski resumed his unfinished chastising.

Oh hell! He came out of his office just right in time.

And just when I thought he was going to open his mouth to let out what ever it was that I didn't want to hear,he called out.

"Scarlet, I see we have some leftover cookies and milkshakes today" before I could speak he continued," why not  take them along for your grand's  cat,maybe he'll let tomorrow's milk slide" with that he chuckled,as if to tell that he knew I was making up my excuse and stories.

Waow!He didn't just offer his leftovers to my imaginary cat."Thank you so much Mr Suski, but I don't feel that to be necessary" I responded nervously.

"Its not a problem,if your cat doesn't want them,you could as well share with the neighborhood kids"....." I don't mind at all" He finally concluded.

"Good night Mr Suski!"was the only reply I could give.

" I'll be looking forward to seeing you retain your job here tomorrow dear,even though I know you have other better offers out there! Good night Scarlet".He said walking away...waving his hand without looking my way.

"Was he kidding me? Other better offers out there?what a sarcasm he pulled there! Nice one".

Right to business, I was already over half an hour behind and the last thing I wanted was to linger any longer.

I just returned from throwing out the trash through the backdoor when I heard voices in the diner.

"Oh shit!didn't some people just know when to call it a night? Bloody moron!" I cursed out to who so ever was in there.

As I stepped into the diner from the kitchen I saw a bunch of men in suits. Some looking like they weren't even interested in being here and some looking like they were on a mission to remain here for as long as possible.

"Excuse me gentlemen,but I don't know if you noticed the sign hung to the door cleared stated C-L-O-S-E-D" I Decided to stress my word.

I didn't get any reply sooner. They all just looked at me and was quick to continue whatever it was they were doing before I came.

This got me mad. How could they just barge into someone's restaurant and fucking act like they were the owners.

"Hey!" Yelling this time.

"I said we were fucking closed for today" staring wildly at the closest to me.

Before I could even continue ranting on,I was interfered by a very young  handsome man walking in through the door.

" What an attitude you got there kid"

"Kid?...kid?, he didn't just refer to me as a kid...or did he?" Now I was boiling hot.

"Get out now! All of you!"I yelled as I pointed to the door.

He just walked pass me and took his sit in front of an old man that I noticed hadn't lifted his gaze from the ground since everything.

" who the hell did they think they were?" Even if they were people important, they definitely had too much of a pride.

He beckoned a huge dark guy who had been standing by the door with just a raise of his middle and index fingers....before whispering something into his ear.

That wasn't my business, I just needed to get them out and it had to be as soon as possible.

"That's it" I confessed raising both my hands in the air and moving towards the landline that was hung not far away. " I'm calling the corps!" I threatened.

As I picked up the phone,I felt something cold behind my neck. I froze. Was that what I guessed  it was?

"Drop it now, or the next thing to be called is an ambulance to pick up your corpses"

I knew it! It was a fucking gun! I had a gun pointed to my head.... Oh Jesus!

I carefully placed the phone back as I raised my hands in surrender. Yeah hell I wasn't ready to die just yet... Not at 20.

"Good! Now turn around and move forward as I ask you to" he commented still pointing the cold mental to my head.

I stepped away from the phone as I turned around to face the dark huge  monster.

"Move!" He ordered

I walked quietly back to the center of the diner where the young lad was.

"I need some coffee!" He demanded without even looking up at me." And don't add any other thing" he concluded before I could even protest.

" That sir,would cost you 15 bucks " I stupidly responded.

Waow I think I just pissed the devil off" I was met with a look that could send me to an early grave even without an arm.

"Do as I tell you or you'll loose that lousy tongue of yours!"

"We are closed..and we don't have any coffee left to offer you...sir" I foolishly argued again.

This time it was the sensation I felt when the cold mental was placed on my neck again that reminded me that I could have been saying too much.

"Don't let me repeat myself, I only do so if it meant that was the last statement the person would hear!"

Just then Mr Suski office door swung open."Don't mind my new employee Mr Evan,I'm sorry she doesn't know the rules around here yet!"

"What! Mr Suski knew this handsome but monstrous man?"

"I don't care! As long as she shuts her mouth and do as she's told".

EVAN'S POV

Since she had been threatened, I see she was being very obedient as possible following my orders.

That was smart of her! Tonight would have been her last day on earth if she had decided to act stubborn like most idiotic bitches.

I had to deal with this business once and for all." So where's my money?" I asked the quietly seated man opposite me.

"I ...I ... " he stammered

"Cut the crab and bring out my god damn money!" I was begining to get irritated.

Mr Klurt looked at another  nervous looking guy,who walked forward with a brief case.

" Open it up" I ordered

He unlocked the case with trembling hands,to display neatly stacked notes and stepped back.

But it was odd....They looked fewer than I expected them to be.

With a frown and a frowsy look I questioned" Is this everything?"

Silence

"Where's the rest of my god damn money?" I was furious this time. I didn't just waste my time to come  receive half my payment.

"I'll get them ready by morning... I swear I would" he pleaded with little sobs.

" you know you already signed an agreement that if you weren't able to pay back, I'll have all your businesses " I reminded

"Please...pls...I'll pay back" he continued to sob as he pleaded

"I'm so sorry I can't help you this time Klurt...a deal is a deal!" And with that I shot him in the head.

Shock

Yeah I saw that on her face immediately the body fell to the ground.
