heart made of steel

Back to the hunt for job

Heart made of steel
Chapter 1
Bethany' s pov

"Damn, you can shove the job on your ass stupid useless dickhead", I slammed the cup of coffee in my hand making half of it to spill.

        I cursed the man sitting across the table my actions and words were flung at my supposed-to-be new boss sitting across me I stormed out of his office leaving him looking perplexed at my actions, as if I give a damn.
When I got outside I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding I was angry and pained at the same time.
       why can't people just do favours and expect nothing in return I asked nobody in particular men will always be men when I say men I don't mean women and men in general I mean men the real men I exaggerated the word "men".

      I thought to myself, this isn't the 5th time of getting myself out of work or not getting a job just because I refuse to succumb myself to their sexual advances why isn't there a nice gentleman that would really help without checking out my look or lust after my body. Well, if they were I guess they are definitely not in this country.
This is Nigeria, hahaha, I laughed lightly at the thought of it I lowered myself to sit on the pavement I could see by my side.
Life really hasn't been fair to me I struggle to get myself through college ever since my mum died, a cold breeze blew over me which making shudder at the thought. I had 3 jobs which I used to pay my bills and also fund myself through college ever since my secondary school days have always been independent I don't let people see what I'm passing through or know my pains of course except  my best friend, Evonne even which is also my roommate she's the only shoulder I could cry on. She has been paying some bills attached to both of us.well she's from an average background and also the only child of her parents which makes it an upper hand for her she's like a sister from another mother.

       Her mum took me like a second daughter "my daughters would you like to join me in the kitchen to prepare dinner" Evonnes mum would ask with all joy written on her face.

     My phone rung making me jump out of thought I know who will be calling for sure I don't have many friends "hi babe" yvonne greeted me "hi".

      I replied trying to hide my sadness what's wrong b how did it go I know she's asking of my interview " I'm fine dear it went as usual "I know she would understand the information I'm trying to pass through to her.

   There was a long pause at the end of the other line" hmm are you on your way home already I'm home if you want to talk about it, just got back from work and I've prepared lunch for the both of us" I could hear sincerity and care in her voice "ok Eve I'm on my way home already will tell you about it when I get home and thanks for the lunch I told her on the phone before hanging up.
I checked my watch to see the time,it's 11:15am.

   " Fuck the man,fuck his job,fuck his firm",I muttered the curse under my breath, I walk briskly to the bus stop to board a bus,I couldn't find a job with the amount I have on me,the bus conductors want hundred naira,I had only fifty naira on me.So I decided to barge into the next bus without asking for the pay I leave the bus down making it come to halt.

    I got into it,as I'm about to sit near a well dressed man in blazers,the bus made a rickety move and sound, making all passengers to hold onto something for support 'bad road' I cursed, I had torn off the badge off the blazers of the immaculate looking man sitting right next to me,'don't blame I was only trying to get support'.God knows how much this well tailored blazers cost.
"Hey lady,why can't you watch out for what you hold for support, I ain't the bus for heaven's sake"he gave me an angry glare,hiss well shaped brows formed angry furrows with angry dark eyes to accompany the wrath.

   I look like a fool as I tried putting the badge back to where it was shredded from, as if the badge had some magical glues to place it back to its original position. Oh my, I feel so stupid right now.
"I am....sorry..........i didn't mean to shred it off .....sorry for been so clumsy".i managed to say with an equally managed smile.
" sorry...sorry is that all you are going to say for the wreck you have caused"he asked with an angry intent gaze that can actually make someone wants the ground to swallow him or her definitely not me.
"Excuse me ,it was just an accident, I couldn't have done that on 'purpose' " .i stressed the word purpose as if he isn't getting the information I'm trying to pass through to him.By now I was angry myself,I had said sorry what else does he want...beg him like he is some god he looks good in some well ironed and tailored blazers. damn it did I just say he looks good.

       "The lady over there your money pls" The conductor said giving me a shiver because I know I don't have the amount he would probably or should I say surely collect.
"Errrm, over here " I handed him the last 50 naira on me" madam this isn't the money you are to pay 100 naira is the pay" the conductor gave me an irritated look .
"Here is our pay I heard the man I just tore off his barge say he handed the conductor a 200 naira note the conductor handed me back my last card I know I should feel happy and grateful that someone saved me from some embarrassment but still I'm very embarrassed and slightly annoyed that someone I took offence in pay my fare .
"I didn't ask you to pay for me you know I can do that by myself" I expected him to be slightly annoyed or give me an angry glare instead I saw a smirk on his face 'wait is this man alright at all I don't think he is'

      " looking at the situation on ground and also knowing that's the last card on you I just have to put on a good samaritan act" he said with a satisfied smile on face which I desperately want to rub off his face.

      As i was about to reply I heard conducted call my bus stop and the bus came to an halt I just gave him a glare with an angry 'thank you' he just gave me a wicked smile as I got down from the bus I couldn't help but wonder what kind of jerk is...
