Stolen moments

Chapter 13(B)

She stood in confusion as the older woman stare at her in disdain, in anger and she could see the fear in her house but she doesn't know why. She held the packed lunch closer to her looking nervous due to the woman's uncanny stare.

  This is her first time in Anderson's Int. The place is more bigger than she thought. She was there because Alfred wants to see   her for something important. He sounded serious on the phone this morning.

She took permission from her boss before leaving the office since her workload was not that much.

She has been  talking to Mr Anderson for a while now ever since he came over to her apartment. She finds herself telling him things she knows and feels she could tell her father. And he has been a good listener.

The man is not as hard or scary as the way people portray him to be. Or maybe he has not shown her that side of him. Only time will tell.

Since, she was there to meet his son she thought it will be a nice thing to bring him food since he seems to love her food so much.

"Who are you?" The woman asked, her voice cold and strict. She looks beautiful yet intimidating, even her outfit is classy yet oppressive.

"Excuse me?" Leah said as she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. The woman rolled her eyes as if she was communicating to a dumb person.

"Let me break it down for you to understand. Who are you and what are you doing on this floor?" She asked again. "Because i know this floor is mainly for my husband and some of his workers, i don't think you work here"

Leah eyes widen in surprise, this must be Mr Anderson's wife considering her looks and age. She smiles at the woman who only raised an eyebrow.

"Hello, am Leah Martinez" she beamed at her but the woman only stared at her in annoyance, she seem less friendly, she thought.

Suddenly, the woman's eyes widen in horror as she gasped.

"Did you just say your name is Leah?" She asked. Leah nods enthusiastically.

A resounding slap echoed through the place as the employees gasped. Leah eyes widen in shock and in fear as she holds her throbbing cheek. Tears clouds her vision as the woman stared at her in anger and in disgust.

"First.. You had the guts to be playing around with my husband, now you have the effrontery to come to his office. Are you not ashamed of yourself?!" She screamed down at her.

Leah shakes her head in denial like a frightened chicken.

"No ma'am.. It's not what you think_"

"Shut up! You power hungry slut! What do you take me for? A fool?!"

Her screams distracted the meeting going on as the said man recognizes the voice of his angry wife. Alfredo groans in anger at his stepmother's angry voice. Mason who completes the trio's meeting shakes his head looking displeased.

"Father.. I think you should attend to your wife before she bites the employee's head off" Alfredo stated calmly.

Gabriel had the meeting adjourned as he stood up, getting ready to face the tornado outside. When will he ever have peace? He thought. The three men stood up as the came out of the office but they were shocked with what they saw.

A paper bag was lying on the ground with the contents spilled out. Leah was crying holding her cheeks as Giselle continued to rain down curses on her. Gabriel and Alfredo quickly walked up to them trying to stop the drama since Giselle was trying to grab Leah by the ponytail in which Gabriel stopped her by grabbing her by the wrists.
