ONCE AGAIN

part 17

Irene dragged Heng to a corner. She is so mad at Heng now. She tried calming herself down but it wasn't working. So she finally blasted.

"Are you stalking me now Heng?" She asked furiously.

"What? Gosh No. Why would I do that?". Heng said

"Then what are you doing here? Why did you bring that bratty friend of yours to this place?" Irene yelled

"Don't talk about Freen like that" Heng said.

"Why should I have a single respectful for the person that broke my cousin's heart like that? huh?" Irene shouted.

"We shouldn't discuss whatever happened between Freen and Becky....". Heng said

"Of course because it doesn't matter to you. You are always supportive of whatever your friend does. Even when it affects my cousin. What makes you think you're different from her" Irene blasted

"Becky took the risk on her own..." - Heng.

"Same way you want me to take the risk with you" Irene interrupted

"Why are you making this about us. Irene?". Heng asked

"I don't want to see you again Heng" she said trying to walk away but Heng held her back.

"Come on Irene, don't do this. It hasn't gotten to this. I told you I am not stalking you."

"You brought your friend here to hurt Becky the more. You know My cousin is trying hard to move on from her."

"You're misunderstanding the whole thing Irene"

"I don't want to ever see your face again. I will leave first."

"Irene?"

"Irene don't be like this". Heng ran after her.

She's glaring at me as though I have committed a grave sin. Well I might have. I shouldn't be seen with Nita. In the company she is considered an enemy. My boss and Miss Nita are rivals who can do everything to pull the other down. I was as stiff as a tree when she spoke.

"What are you doing with my employee?" She asked facing Miss Nita. I can see Nita's confusion.

"Your employee?" She asked while turning to me.

Now my boss walked towards me with her arms folded.

"You didn't tell her?" She asked while glaring at me.

Before I could say anything she said...

"I can see you're having fun" she said.

Nita smiled while shaking her head. She came close and stood infront of me facing Freen.

"Yes she is. Right Becky?" Nita asked without taking her eyes off Freen.

Gosh why did she do that. God save me. This won't end well. These two are ready to create a scene here.

"Who are you to meddle in when I'm talking to my employee?" Freen asked opening her eyes.

"As long as I remember here is not FSC corporation. Come on. Allow the kid to have fun or is there other reason why you're acting this way?". She said challenging my boss.

I just stood in awe as I watch these two women. Who will throw the first punch? Freen clenched her fist tightly. God! is she going to do it? I need to stop them before it gets out of hand.

"Uhm," I held Miss Nita by the arm to pull her back.

"Please don't do this here" I said softly to Nita while she obeyed and drew back.
