Te Quiero

CINCUENTA Y OCHO

Dylan's POV

Finally, I found her but she was walking behind that bastard. I decided to call out her name then immediately, I saw him pin her to the wall. Instantly, my breathing quickened but I didn't want to be too forward like I was earlier. I just hoped within me that he wouldn't touch her.

I kept watching them and it seemed like they were talking about something. I hoped he wasn't telling her sweet nonsense that'd fill her ears with lies.

He doesn't care about you Teresa. He's a vicious and murderous person. He's not made for love and wouldn't treat you right.

I wish she could hear me then, I saw her wrapping her arms around him and pulling him into her bossom.

What the hell?!

Why was she hugging him so passionately? My eyes followed his hands as they held her waist. At the spot, I got relieved because I realized that they hadn't made out at all. If they had, he would have put his hands on her ass and taken her to another room.

I was rejoicing within me but it all stopped when he bent his head to kiss her. No! I should stop them!

But,

I couldn't.

Cause her face brightened. I could see that she was very excited. It was like she wanted the kiss.

Stopping them would be the most stupid thing to do cause she was obviously happy. I looked at myself and wondered why I was acting this way. A whole doctor!

Love makes you do stupid things for real.

I was ashamed of myself so, I walked past them without saying a word or turning my head to them. I wasn't myself anymore because of that beautiful woman. She had charmed me with her beauty, kindness and stubbornness. All in one lol but I had to get myself together. I walked out of the mansion and told Baldwin to take me to the hotel immediately.

She's happy with him and it hurts. Knowing when to let the people you love the most go is the best way you can actually love them....

.....

The next day...

Teresa's POV

"Under Claire?!!!" Gen screamed.

Her uproar kind of annoyed me. "Of course. She said it clearly."

"That's laundry, Teresa!"

"Wait, what? Laundry!!!" I screamed too and she placed her hands over my mouth.

"Shh! We're shouting."

She removed her hands then, I began to wail. "Laundry is the most stressful out of all the departments."

"Exactly. She wants to frustrate you so you'd give up on working here by yourself."

I shook my head. "She's a witch."

"Of course she is! With Mr Edwin being such a good man she's still cheating on him with his best friend. That's cruel."

"Hey, Gen. I told you that that was a secret so don't say it anywhere at anytime. The walls have ears." I didn't know why I told Gen about what I saw in the elevator but, I couldn't stop myself from telling someone. It was too surprising for just me to know.

Lmao.

Gen whispered. "So, he was actually fingering her in his best friend's house and they weren't even scared that they would get caught."

I chuckled. "Stop gossiping, Gen."

"No, it ain't gossiping. I'm just letting out my surprise."

I laughed hard as we kept walking towards the laundry. I was meant to start work there today. "Oh please. The funniest part was that they didn't even know when the elevator had opened."

"Oh they were already in cloud 9." She said and we both busted into laughter as Claire stared at us sternly.

Gen whispered. "She's one of the unfriendly sisters. I think she's even the worst. Goodluck on your new station and bye." She left hurriedly and I approached Claire.

"Hey...."

"You must be Teresa Houston."

I scratched my neck. "Yeah I...."

"Mrs Edwin has given me special orders for you. You'll work only during the day time and you'll be the only one working. The other girls would work at night when there's no much work..."

"Hey..."

"Don't interrupt me! You'll dust all the washing machines, fold all the clothes, sweep the floors, keep record of each clothes washed and the amount of soap consumed. Just you! The ironing would've been done by you but that's being done by another sector. Are we clear?! This is the only time required for you to speak and you can only say yes or no."

What the fuck? This is like a military.

"So there's..."

"Shh."

I frowned. "..no freedom.."

"Shh."

"..of speech."

"Shut the hell up!"

How dare her?! I wanted to talk cause I had lost my patience but that would only make things worse.

"Teresa Houston! You must answer either yes or no...nothing else."

Already triggered, I said without regrets. "Go fuck yourself! I'm not deaf! I heard every single thing you said but this isn't some kind of military regime so I have freedom of speech."

Claire had curly blonde hair and she was quite tall. She had broad shoulders and masculine arms. Her face became instantly pale as she heard everything I said.

At that moment, I started regretting that I said all those things. Gosh! I just made everything worse.

"I'm sorry."

My eyes widened in shock as she apologized. What?

She continued talking. "Diane told me to be very strict on you that was why I acted that way."

Flabbergasted was an understatement for what I was feeling.

She kept on. "So go do your work. Sometimes, I'll assist you cause that work would be so much for you to handle. You don't deserve all of that."

I smiled warmly. "Thank you Claire."

"Oh well, go on with your work. I'll just show you some other things." She said calmly as she walked into the laundry room with me.

Please make that star below shimmer. Love ya!
