Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“My life is simple.” Korina said as she got into the car, “I wake up and suffer.”

“You look terrible and you left some conditioner on your hair.” Daniella said moving her hand to touch the whitish cream on Korina’s hair.

“Don’t.” She said slapping her hand away, “Don’t touch it, it’s pigeon poop.”

“Oh, jeez.” Daniella laughed.

“What’s funny? Why are you laughing?”

“Nothing.” Daniella said shaking her head.

“Come on, tell me.” Korina faced her angrily, ” Am I cracking jokes now?”

“Nope.” Daniella said, “Today is not your day.”

“Tell me about it.” She replied with a sigh, She looked out the car window, “Oh look, just as you got here, the rain stopped, How wonderful!” She remarked, “The skies are all cleared up and the sun shining brightly.

” Maybe you are jinxed.” Daniella winked.

“Dan, I called you to come pick me up about 20 minutes ago, where were you?” Korina faced her, a nasty frown on her face.

“I was stuck in traffic.” Daniella replied, “you know rain, flood, Erosions.” She lied, she couldn’t let her cousin know that she slept off immediately they got off the phone.

I mean the weather was so cozy, She tried satisfying her guilt.

“Erosions and floods, really Daniella? really?” Korina asked her sacarsm made clear enough.

Daniella nodded.

“What about hurricanes?”

“Huh?”

“What about hurricanes?”

“Are you doing that on purpose or you have no idea?” Daniella asked not minding her question.

“Doing what?” Korina asked puzzled, “What are you talking about?”

“You know, all that?” Daniella pointed at Korina moving her finger in circles.

“Huh?”

“Apart from the fact that you look like a big mass of messes, Girl you do realise you are wearing your bra outside.”

“What are you saying?” Korina asked looking Dumbfounded.

“Is it a new fashion trend that I don’t know about?” Daniella asked.

“Get to the point before I smack you.”

“Girl, you are wearing your bra on your shirt, like your bra is on your shirt instead of inside on your boobs, it’s outside ”

Korina looked down and discovered that her bra was actually on her shirt, how did I manage to do that?

She had been wearing it like that all day, her cheeks heated up in embarrassments as soon as she realised.

“Kill me!” She groaned falling back on the seat “Just kill me.”

Daniella took a bend and Korina looked at her confused, “Hey, we are going to my work place remember.”

“Uhmm.”

“Why did you take a bend?”

“I have to go to my place to check something.”

“Why?” Korina questioned, “I need to get to work now and besides you never told me you were going to your house.”

“Well…”

“What do you want to do there?”

“I think I forgot to unplug my hair dryer and electric cooker, I do not want the house to get burnt down.”

“If I get sacked, you are getting me another job.”

“What the hell?” Daniella complained, ” I didn’t cause all these in the first place.”

“Well now, you are about to worsen it.”

“Korina.”

“Whatever Daniella.” Korina said, “Whatever.” She turned towards the windows, face plastered on the glass.

“I am done.” Daniella got into the car hurriedly.

“Well, were they on?”

“I discovered I didn’t even use them today.”

“Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you.” Korina said and aggressively reached out to Daniella trying to grab her neck.

“I am sorry.” Daniella screeched wrestling her way out of Korina’s hold.

“You better get me to work in the next two minutes or Aunty is gonna kiss your ass goodbye.”

They reached work after the next 30 minutes, it was 2 PM now.

The two girls stood in front of the boss’s desk, quivering waiting for her judgement for her silence was putting them out of ease.

“So, are you gonna say anything? Miss Korina’s boss.” Daniella asked.

“Shut up.” Korina wisphered hitting her.

“I warned you the last time, you seem to have this stupid habit of coming late to work Korina.” Ms. Susie said.

“I…”

“Shut up.” She said harshly silencing Korina.

“But… Ma’am it wasn’t my fault.”

“Are you saying it’s mine?”

“Nope.”

“That’s exactly what you are trying to say that it’s mine since it isn’t yours.”

“You are completely misunderstanding me ma’am.”

“Why did you come late to work?” The woman asked, “This isn’t even late, I don’t know what to call it, a new word has to be developed.”

Daniella rolled her eyes.

“You see…”

“Go on.”

“But I gave you an explanation earlier.”

“Are you questioning me?”

“No ma’am.”

“I am bored, I wasn’t paying attention I want to hear it again.”

“Okay…”

“From the very beginning.” She said, “Go on Korina.”

Daniella picked her nails, this lady really is grumpy.

“So.” Korina began, “I got dressed for work.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“I said from the very beginning.” The woman said hitting her hand on the table, “Didn’t you wake up before you got dressed?”

Oh dear, Daniella wanted to claw at her face, She’s so annoying.

Korina looked at her boss and resisted the urge to roll her eyes, seriously bitch, seriously.

“I woke up.” She began, “And I prayed and…”

“I do not pray.” Ms. Susie said cutting her short, “So you want to rub it in my face that you pray, you wanna prove you are a ‘goody too shoes’ now.”

“No, ma’am.” Korina said, “I am sorry, you said I should start from the beginning and it was one of the things I did…”

“I asked you to start from the beginning not brag about your spiritual life.”

Lady you got real serious issues, Korina sighed.

“Start again korina.”

“I woke up and brushed my teeth.”

“Not everyone has the time to brush.” The woman said.

“I actually…”

“Start again Korina and be humble.”

Daniella did the eyeroll for the umpteenth time.

“I woke up.” Korina began, “And…”

After frustrating minutes of trying to explain to her boss, the woman finally decided she had heard enough.

“You are fired.”

“WHAT THE FUCK?!” Daniella and Korina screeched.

“You heard me right.” The woman said adjusting her glasses, “Get out of my office.”

“Now look here woman.” Daniella said attempting to lunged at her, she was pulled back by Korina.

“Let’s just go.” Korina wisphered dragging Daniella with her.

“I told you my life was easy.” Korina said pulling the push door, “I wake up and suffer.”

“Korina.”

“What?”

“It’s boldly written there, it says ‘push’.”

“Oh, give me a break.”

Daniella pushed the door and they both got out.

“I got sacked.” Korina asked, “So now what?” She asked throwing her hands in frustration.

“Be careful there, you do not wanna hit this face.”

She looked at Daniella and scoffed.

“I need it in perfect shape to contest for miss world beauty queen.”

“Miss World stupid queen, you mean?”

“Shut up.”

“My life is a mess Dan.”

“Oh come on don’t say that.” Daniella put a comforting hand on her shoulder, “Think about the children in Syria and Palestine, they were born in a mess.”

“Oh right, I have thought about them, so now what?”

“Wanna hit the club tonight?” Daniella winked.

“Wanna receive a punch that’d send you to the hospital tonight?” Korina winked back.

Daniella frowned and was about to retaliate when she saw Korina’s boss walking briskly towards them.

“Hey korina look.” Korina looked and saw the woman, what does she want now? She groaned.

“Hey Korina.” The woman said teaching them, “Get back in there even tho you look like a mess, ughh!” She was irritated, “you are hired.”

“Why… I mean thank you ma’am.”

“Good, I expect you here tomorrow at 6 AM sharp.” The woman said before turning back and walking into the restaurant.

“Guess you got your job back girl.” Daniella said, “I still want to claw at her face tho.”

“Me too.” Korina said, 6AM tho, what the heck?
