Memoir

Chapter 10: Hail

A woman should always be calm and collected no matter the circumstances, that's what you're mother taught you ever since you were a little girl.

Always be tactful, even if something is bothering you, keep it to yourself until you can handle it with grace.

"Screw that"

You thought while stomping angrily on your way to the Bonten HC, equipped with some random bills in your hand as a pathetic excuse to visit your husband's workplace.

The security tried to stop you, but since you have no danger awareness whatsoever you decided to just shove him out of your way.

He didn't like that and neither did his buddies as you were now having not one but three guns pointed at your head.

"Let her pass"

You shifted your head to find the source of the voice.

It was Sanzu, the only executive that knew exactly who you were from the very beginning.

He never liked you.. well, frankly he never liked anyone but Mikey but he knew boss would not be happy to see your brains smeared all over the floor so he decided to intervene.

Sanzu: "Why are you here?"

Y/n:  "I need to see Mikey, it's an emergency"

Sanzu: "Oh.. Is that so?"

You rolled your eyes and was about to throw some fists but one glance at the katana hanging from his pants was enough to cool you down a little.

The man was a psychopath, worst case you've ever seen so far so you backed down.

Y/n: "Where is his office?"

Sanzu contemplated for a solid minute before answering

Sanzu: "Follow me"

Once you reached the office Mikey got up in surprise upon seeing you and Sanzu closed the door, giving you two some room.

Y/n: "We have a problem!"

Mikey: "A problem?.. y/n what are you doing here? What can possibly be so important that you needed to put yourself in so much danger?"

Ran. Ran was that important

Y/n: "THIS!"

You slapped an envelope with a bill inside and after thoroughly inspecting it Mikey seemed to be even more confused than before.

Mikey: "Our.. water bill?.."

Y/n: "YES!"

Mikey: "....... I'm not following"

Y/n: "LOOK AT THAT NUMBER! They are bluntly ripping us off! It's ridiculous, there must be a mistake!"

Your performance was almost as bad as your excuse.

Mikey: "Honey.. we're rich, why the hell do you care so much about our water bill? Are you ok?"

Y/n: "Well just because we are rich doesn't mean they get to take advantage of us! You should call them!"

He wanted to laugh so bad but knew you'd lose it entirely if he did and didn't want to cause a circus with so many employees around.

Mikey: "Ok y/n, calm down. I will.. I will give them a call."

Y/n: "AS. YOU. SHOULD!"

Mikey: "Now please can you try and relax? ..Go back home?.. I would love to stay and talk more about how the water company is robbing us but I need to get some papers to Ran's  office, then go take care of something downtown"
