His secret

chapter 17

i couldn't sleep a wink last night till the sun came up, why?

because Kori decided to text me if i was alone home, i told him yes so my paranoia hit and i told him at least i hope i am. turned out he was just drunk and was messing with me

I'm currently at work and i hear a phone ring, i answer

"Finally! I've been on hold for ages. Listen, I need to schedule an appointment, and I need it done right now."

 "I apologize for the wait, ma'am. Of course, I'm here to help. May I have your name and contact information, please?"

"Ugh, it's Karen Johnson. And you should have my contact information on file already. I shouldn't have to repeat myself."

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Karen. Let me pull up your information. Now, which service are you interested in scheduling a consultation for?"

 "I need to speak with someone about my insurance policy. It's urgent."

 "Understood, Karen. Let me check our availability for you. It seems we have some slots available next week. How does Tuesday at 2:00 PM sound?"

"Tuesday? No, no, no. That won't do. I need to see someone today."

 "I'm sorry, Karen, but our advisors are fully booked for today. Perhaps tomorrow morning?"

"Absolutely not. I have a hair appointment tomorrow, and that's non-negotiable. Can't you squeeze me in somehow? This is ridiculous."

 "I understand your frustration, Karen. Let me see if there's any flexibility. How about Thursday morning at 10:00 AM?"

 "Thursday? That's even worse. I have a Pilates class then. Can't you find me something later in the day?"

i need to smack the shit out of her

"I'm afraid our advisor is fully booked for the rest of the day on Thursday. Would Friday morning work for you instead?"

 "Friday? Are you kidding me? I have a brunch with my friends. This is unacceptable. You're supposed to accommodate your clients' needs!"

"I apologize for the inconvenience, Karen. Let me check for other options..."

 "Hurry up, please. I don't have all day."

"It appears that our advisor is on vacation the following week, so we won't have availability until the week after that."

"Vacation? This is outrageous! I demand to speak with your manager right now. This level of service is unacceptable!"

 "I'm sorry you feel that way, Karen. Let me see if there's anything I can do to escalate this for you. Can I reach you at the same number you provided?"

"Yes, but make it quick. I don't have time to waste dealing with incompetence."

i transfer the call to Olivia, I'll let her deal with it., i been at work for two hours and five people called already

and sixth is calling right now "Hello, thank you for calling-"

"49th floor now" shit, i haven't even been here for a week, they called me

i quickly go to Olivia asking her if i can have the card, it's for elevator , not everyone can use it, i swipe it, few minutes later i was there

everything looks so different, in a way that they give off such a vibe and aura that just screams power, everything about them is perfect, clothes that has no dust on it, clean shoes with zero scratch, hair that sits awfully perfect, this is different level, they really are.

"you're the girl right" i was asked by a man

"yes sir" as i know he's lawyer lee,

"you're late, 10 Americanos, black, no sugar, 5 lattes, two with two sugars and three with three, must be with almond milk, 5 cappuccinos, one sugar, and regular milk, 5 espressos, double shots, no sugar" what the fuck

 i nod "Got it, that's 25 drinks. Anything else?" i question, 

"Yes, make sure the Americanos are extra hot, and the lattes and cappuccinos have no foam. Also, I want the espressos served in small cups" i nod, he's so sassy

he hands me the card, i look at it and it's a company card, i go to the coffee shop o been told they go to, and let me tell you the line is crazy, after a hot minute it was my time

people behind me will hate me for this "hello, can i please have 5 lattes with almond milk,, two with two sugars and three with three,  5 cappuccinos with one sugar and regular milk,  10 black Americanos with no sugar, and 5 double espresso shots with no sugar"

"would be 140 dollars" how much for coffee? i nod and wait and till thy called my name i started to go through the reseat 

10 Americanos: 10 * $4.50 = $45.005 

Lattes with two sugars: 5 * $5.50 = $27.505

 Lattes with three sugars: 5 * $5.50 = $27.505 

Cappuccinos: 5 * $5.00 = $25.005 

Espressos: 5 * $3.00 = $15.00

oh to be rich...

this place is pretty big, i wait wait and wait it's been about 40 minutes, should i ask when will it be ready?

i stand up and ask "I'm sorry can i ask when will my order be ready the number is-"

"we know, three of us are making your order, few more minutes or then" i understand her frustration but there's nothing i can do about it

15 minutes later they called out my number, i walk there and eyeing the three large bags of hot coffee waiting for me, i reached for the first bag, carefully securing its handles. i cant do it like this, i take one and but another on it

i somehow managed to take them by help of a stranger, i try to carefully cross the road, i barely can see anything, the coffees are so hot that its burning my arms and hands, i go to the elevator and then remembered, the card for elevator is in my back pocket

god

"need help" i was asked some stranger

"you would be a life saver, i need to get on floor 49th please" i smile nervously 

"what a coincidence I'm going the same way" he smiles, that's his work smile, i can tell

he swipes his card and we make out way to the elevator, few awkward minutes already we were there

"thank you sir" i thank him and then go to mister Lee

"you're late they're already here" 

"they made it as fast as they could" i try to defend myself, and trying not to lose my temper

"great, coffee isn't even that hot at this point so you just wasted companies money, humiliated company for not bringing their clients coffee, good job" I'm just standing here looking at him speechless

i then see someone grabbing one coffee out of the bag "tastes just fine to me, coffee anyone" i look at the person and he's the same i meet at the elevator, others take coffees too and soon enough my hands are empty

Lee starts at me as if he wants to rip me apart

"my name is Kaiden by the way" is he the one Olivia was talking about the other day

"Abigail" i smile at him

after that i went to my seat, it was horrible would not recommend, that's the exact words i told Sarah, hate it.
