Boss's Woman - Regretful Hero

Chapter 2

After one month of training, it was time to make another evaluation. Janet asked me to come by six p.m. so she could measure me and write my first new progress. After working so much I expected to have lost a lot of kilograms. Maybe 5 kg/11lbs? It would be so awesome. I didn't notice any differences in me, though.

I would strip in front of the mirror and suck my round belly to see if there were any signs of growing muscles. Unfortunately, there was not.

Well, I didn't exactly eat like I should. I still eat pizza and burgers, but just two times this month, nothing more, I swear! Surely it wouldn't be so bad? Oh, well... I should have thought about this before!

I prepare myself, choosing clothes that would not add much more to my weight and even applying some gloss to boost my confidence level.

I arrive at the right time for my appointment, having thunderous thoughts about the results. I was working so hard and yet making some mistakes that could make my progress not so good. I should be more serious with my diet from now on.

When I am about to open the gym's door, the blond guy from last time almost bumps into me in his hurry to enter first. "Hey, watch out!" I shout at him.

He looks to the side and seems to notice me for the first time. "Are you lost?" He asks with a dubious voice. He is looking at my clothes with a funny face.

"I am not lost, I want to enter the gym if you don't mind," I say with little patience. I was not in the mood today to be treated this way. I had some bigger challenges waiting for me inside.

He smiles and makes a mocking gesture of opening the door for me. When I pass him, I don't realize what he is about to do, because I suddenly lose my balance and stumble to the ground like a sack of potatoes. The guy just put his feet in front of me to make me fall! He laughs and makes a pretense to help me up. I feel so ashamed I don't know how to react. This big jerk!

I am torn between crying and dying. Well, neither seems to be an option right now. So I decided to slap the jerk's hand and get up by myself! "You did this on purpose. Stupid jerk! Don't come near me ever again!" I say right to his face. He is very tall and is looking down at me without preoccupation, and it's clear he doesn't find wrongs in his behavior.

"It's not my fault if you are big and clumsy, honey. Let's talk more when you are slimmer." He walks past me, flirting with the other ladies, like he didn't just say something evil and disgusting to me.

I am feeling more down because I should have punched him or something. To fall in a public place is horrible. He tried to humiliate me for no reason at all.

I decided to ignore him and to continue with my plans. An older gentleman approaches me with a concerned expression. "Are you okay, dear? I shall talk with that boy about that. It was outrageous!" He says with a very offended voice.

"Please, don't. It's okay. I didn't hurt myself."

"Don't let him treat you that way. I know Mr. Belanov and he doesn't accept any unkindness in his gyms. I should just call him right now! This new generation of boys...!" He kept saying how things were done in his time and I kind of find him funny and kind. But asked him not to call the boss or anything like that.

I excused myself to go to Janet. She talked to me about my progress, my diet, and everything and scolded me a bit about the things I didn't do right. "You need to make more effort now, Charlie, if you really want to see good results, okay?"

I agreed with her and was really mad at me when the balance showed the loss of just 2 kg/4lbs. Janet told me it was a good start and that I was going to see more results after.
