《ORPHANAGE GIRL》Chapter 43
Advertisement
I woke up early in the morning, not feeling myself. I stare at the ceiling, sighing again and again. I could hear the sound of laughter and giggles around the room , memories of Charles and me wrapped around in sheets, the cake cutting. I remember he was so embarrassed.
Why life has to be so difficult?
No, no. Not going there.
To clear my mind I decided to go for run. I ran towards bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Changed in my tracksuit and shoes, I grabbed my earphones and walked out of the door. It's still slightly dark outside but nothing scary. Songs started to play as I begun to run. All the things from yesterday keep rushing back in my mind so I ran faster, fast enough to make it disappear, my legs started to burn after a while and my breath uneven but it was better to focus on this than the other pain.
I didn't realized that i have come far away from my apartment. I sat on the seat across the street, music blasting through my phone. I took them off as I heard the sound of birds, the sky changes as the sun started to come up.
I always dreamt of having someone with whom I can go and watch sunrise and sunset while holding their hands. And when Charles came into my life I thought I have got that special person but what I didn't know was I would lose him this soon.
"God, could you please stop crying?" I yelled at me as tear started flowing again.
I sat there for few more minutes. It was 8 when I decided to head back to the apartment.
"Where have you been? I was so worried" Freya looked at me with concern. I don't need that.
"Walk" I mumbled as I walk past her.

"Where are you going now?" She asked again
"Work"
"What happened yesterday at Charles's place?" She asked as I felt her near me
"Nothing that I didn't know of" with that I left for my room. I got into shower and relaxed my nerves. After I got ready, I grabbed my bag and some paperwork and left my room. I saw Freya inside the kitchen but I pretend I didn't see her. Before she could speak I sprinted out of the door.
As I reach my work place someone bumped into me making all the papers slip down from my hands.
"Watch your steps" I spat at the person as I bend down to pick them up
"Whoa! Someone is in a bad mood" Luke said as he kneel down to help me pick the papers up
When I didn't speak, he grab my hands and made me look into his eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"Mhmm" I nodded my head looking away from him
He didn't ask me anything further just handed me my file.
"If you-"
"I have to go I'm late" I left him there and went to my cabin
I was working on a manuscript when I noticed someone. Thinking it might be Luke again
"Luke I really-" I stopped in middle when I saw a girl of age 17-18
"Miss Evans"
"Yes" I put my pen down, looking at her.
"I'm Jane. Today is my first day of the internship and Mrs. Davis asked me to report to you" she said shyly
"Okay. Come in" I smiled at her as she sat in front of me.
"I want you to read this manuscript and see if it's correct. And if you see any error than underline them with a red pen" I explained her as I handed her a pen.
"Okay ma'am"
"Call me Olivia"

She smiled. My phone started to vibrates, Claudia was calling me again and again.
"I'm at work, Claudia" I said as soon I picked it up
"I know I wouldn't have called you if it wasn't important"
I crunched my eyes as I let her continue
"Remember the hot sexy guy in suit? The one who was so angry when I spilled the coffee on his table?"
Charles face flash in front of me
"Uh ye-yes. What about him?" I tried sounding normal,
"He came to the restaurant today and he beat the shit of Mr White" she squeal in happiness
"He did what?"
I'm so fucking stupid to believe that bitch. I totally fell for her act. I should have known that she was acting. Fuck!
"Sir? Sir?" Joey tried getting my attention from the other side of the line but my head is clouded with so many thoughts.
"Yes. What were you saying?" I remember the look at her face, broken. She really thinks I cheated on her. And the shirt made it look evident. She didn't even let me explain.
Mariah, that bitch. She ruined one thing, that one actual thing that made me happy. She took that away from me
"Ahhhhhh!!!!" I threw the phone on the wall with all force as it hit the water jar as I saw it shatter into pieces, water dripping down.
I stood there breathing heavily.
"Shit shit" I ran towards the broken pieces when I realized Olivia's number was saved in that. I removed the broken glass pieces.
"Fuck" my hand started to bleed, as it got cut from the pieces. I looked at the my phone with the other hand to see that it is ruined. I sat there, my head started to hurt. I looked at my hand, thinking it needed the bandage. I stood up walking towards the bathroom to grab the first aid box. The bandage was not there.
Can this day get any worse?
"Greta, GRETA!" I shouted as i ran downstairs with my bleeding hand
"Yes sir" my home maid comes rushing. Her face turn white in horror as she see my hand
"There's no bandage" i said closing my eyes in pain
"I will ask Ben_"
cutting her off, "No, I will fetch it. And you could leave early, there's no need for making dinner"
Sighing, I grabbed my car keys and the other phone which only had business contact and my mom's number. Getting inside the car I drove off towards the pharmacy store. I took everything I need and walked out of the store. I stopped in my way when I saw something.
The restaurant. The manager was standing there inside the café. I remember what he did to liv, but wasn't he in jail? Anger started building inside me as I marched towards the restaurants
My heart skipped a beat when I enter, all the memories of meeting Liv here started flashing back. But anger came back when I saw the manager
"Mr Maxwell, welcome welcome" he came near me giving me his stupid greedy smile.
Not thinking twice, I bump my fist on his face. I winch as blood oozes out if my wounded hand.
"What are-"
I didn't let him finish when I strike again.
"This is for what you did to Olivia. I would have ruin you if Olivia hadn't stop me. And why the fuck you are out of jail, huh?" I yelled at him as I grabbed his collar to steady him. Blood all over his face, broken a nose. Serves him right.
"You ain't getting out of this, I will make sure of that"
All the people in the restaurant was staring at us, wide eyes.
"Show is over" I glared at them and then walked out of the restaurant.
