74: Winnings and Pictures.

KIKI.

The next day, I was dressed and ready to hit the road. I quickly finished up on my breakfast and I had tidied everywhere, I knew I might pull a late night so I didn’t want to come back around 11 exhausted and I still have to clean up.

The sky looked bright as I got into a cab and told him where I was going to stop and I listened to music trying to keep myself calm. After the fiasco that happened yesterday in the office, with me having to give Judy my middle finger, I decided that today I was going to be on best behaviour and not anger anyone and just stay out of Gigi’s way.

No more impulsive kisses, or one more mistake, I was going to be a responsible lady and just be there to work, if not the secret was going to leak and not only will Judy see me as someone who used her body to climb up the ladder of success, the rest of the co workers are going to see me the exact way, and I am not quite sure, if I would be able to survive, isolated by everyone.

“We are at the company.” The man said as I jerked and removed my earphones from my ears. Gosh already. I sighed as I opened the car door and got out of the car, before proceeding to the driver’s side to pay him.

“How much?” I asked realizing that we hadn’t talked about price earlier.

“$5.” He said as I nodded my head and brought out his money and then handed it to him.

“Thanks. I hope you have a great day at work.” He said as he drove off.

“Yes me too.” I mumbled to myself as I took a huge breath. I looked up to the highest floor and saw that the light in Mr Gigi’s office was switched on, which meant he came to work earlier or he didn’t leave last night. I glanced at the watch. It was 7:05am so I wasn’t late. I walked in and greeted the receptionist downstairs, an elderly woman who smiled at me in return.

I went to the coffee area and saw that the place was free so I made two mugs of coffee, one for myself and one for Mr Gigi. After that, I headed upstairs and made my way to the elevator.

I got in with three of my co workers. They were all ladies, luckily Judy wasn’t among them. I greeted them but they all pretended that they didn’thear me. Shrugging it off, I took a sip out of my sweetened coffee and waiting for the bell to ding before the doors slid open and we walked inside. I saw someone from another department heading inside Mr Gigi’s office so I quickly hastened my steps and begged the man to ive the coffee to Mr Giovanni. Thankfully he was nicer so he took it and nodded his head.

I sat down by my chair sipping coffee as I looked at my list of things to do. I have to make sure that Mr Gigi meets with the clients all, and also write down the log book. This was going to take forever to handle. But I took a huge drink from my coffee. Just then Betty walked in and I smiled. She was staring at something in her phone so she hadn’t noticed me yet. I then decided to call her over.

“Betty, over here.” I said as she blinked at me and then walked over.

“How are you doing?” I asked as she managed to give me a forced smile and said,

“I am not doing too well. I will see you later.” With that she turned and went to her table and sat down. I could see Judy and almost half of the workers in here, watching and laughing at her and I was puzzled.

I didn’t understand what they were laughing about but it seemed like it was directed to me. I bit my lips and focused on my work in front of me. That was when Judy decided to walk up to me and said.

“Well, well, well. When I told you that this wasn’t over, you think I am joking now guess who is winning.” She said as I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“What are you talking about?” I asked shocked at her.

“Well look at this, now everyone knows you for the slut that you are and you can’t hide it any longer.” She said showing me her phone. It had a picture of me and Gigi in a sexual way.

“What? How did you get this?” I said dragging the phone from her as I looked in shock.

“Who cares, besides I saw it too. People did and they are all saying the same thing. I sent it to everyone on their chat app saw it” She said as she took her phone and walked away. The ladies were laughing and pointing at me, with disgust on their face. I glanced at Betty’s direction and instantly knew that she had seen the picture before, that was why she was uncomfortable talking to me. Grabbing my purse I dashed out of the office heading to the rest room so that I could cry in peace.

“Run away like the slut I always know you to be.” Judy’s spiteful voice followed me as I an. I ran down the hallways, tears almost blinding me but luckily I was able to get to the restroom. It was unlocked and I quickly entered and locked the door.

Then sliding to the floor, I allowed the tears to run freely as I cried. This picture wasn’t photo shopped because this was the exact cloth I wore yesterday. How could this have gotten out? What about the face of Mr Gigi? What have I done? I have just portrayed myself as someone who was given the position cos I had sex with my boss.” I said sobbing loudly as I didn’t let the tears stop flowing.
