77: Girlfriends and Unlucky days.

KIKI.

After Fifi left me and stormed her way inside his office. I decided that I wasn’t going to let what she said affect me and thus I decided to ignore her rude comments and get back to work.

I quickly sat down and arranged my table and got back to work. “Mr. Callisto’s office, how can I help?” I said sweetly as I picked up the telephone on the table that rung, halting my typing after I had brought out the calendar.

“Yeah, we have you on Thursday afternoon…. Okay, a rain check… hmmm, we have Friday morning, 10am is free. What’s your name… Mr Cruise… Under Stale… Noted.” I said as I scribbled down everything the man was saying so that I wouldn’t forget it in the future, especially when needed.

Soon, the telephone started to ring again started flashing, “Give me a moment, Mr. Cruise, I will get back to you, please hold the line.” I said as I pressed on number 2 and answered,

“Good morning, Mr Callisto’s office, how can I help?... Yes you are supposed to come in today. No, the deal has been sealed… a new meeting? Let me check.” I said as I grabbed the calender and flipped some pages as I was scrolling for something.

“I actually had you on the appointment on Thursday. Want to move it down? Oh today… this evening? I am not sure if he would be free…. Or tomorrow morning. Dinner outside? I will inform him. Thank you very much, Mr. Bruno.” I said as I ended the call and went back to the first caller.

“Sorry about that, please where were we?” I said as Mr. Cruise replied, “You were picking a time for the next meeting with Mr. Callisto.” He said as I nodded my head and replied, “Yes, Friday morning. Can we shift it to 8:30am?... Okay thank you. Have a nice day." I said as I ended the call. I placed the reciever back and sighed.

“I’m going to get nowhere today if I keep getting interrupted.” I murmured to myself as I went back to typing.

I wondered what was going on in Gigi’s office so I glanced but I didn’t even make out their posture. I could see the shadow of Fifi waving her hands in the air.

Was Gigi bored of her already?

Should I go in and check?

I decided to wait. It would be rude to go in.

“Hey you, can you take this down to the base floor, have Mr. Tom sign this before giving to Mr. Callisto for the final signature.” A worker said, throwing a blue file in front of me as I bit my lips.

It was sure that after all the drama that had recently happened, they were sure going to use this opportunity to treat me as dirt as much as they could and I can only react or retaliate in a little way. I couldn’t believe that someone took those pictures in the first place. I was wondering who could it be, that hated me so much that she or he had to do me so dirty that way but my mind was blank.

“Slut, can you stop biting your lips? You aren’t going to fuck him. Just get his fucking signature already. Ugh, why are you staying still like a statue?” The girl said causing the colleagues within our hearing to burst out laughing like she had just cracked a joke.

“I am going!” I snapped as I stood and took the file with me. The rest of the people there were still teasing and laughing about it, commending the girl. I shook my head and walked out heading straight to his office and to my luck, he was in.

“Good day, how may I help you?” he asked as I smiled and said, “Sir please could you sign this.” I asked as he took the file from me and read it.

“Oh yes, I was actually waiting for this so I could sign it. Here you go!.” He said as he handed it back to me and I thanked him.

“Thank you so much, sir. You are really kind and considerate. I thought you were going to eat my head off because I came late but you are quiet and calm.

“You do not need to bother about it. Let’s leave the relationship outside this. Just make sure the boss signs it. Is that all?” He asked as I nodded my head.

“Yes sir. Have a nice day.” I walked back to the office and saw that Fifi still haven’t left the office. I decided to walk in like that, after all this file was important that it got signed. I walked to the door and pushed it open as I entered.

And in that sudden moment, I felt that my heart shattering because right in front of me were Fiorella and Giovanni kissing each other. Gigi didn’t even attempt to push her away and he seemed to be enjoying the kiss. Fifi saw me and smirked as she deepened the kiss making my heart shatter the more.

I took a step back.

Gigi hadn’t noticed me yet because he had his back to me and was very focused on his girlfriend. I decided to just leave. I couldn’t just stay there any longer as I wasn’t sure if I had the strength to hide what I felt right now, go through it nonchalantly and just get the signature so I decided to leave and come back in a more convenient time.

I turned, taking one more look at them and walked out. They looked so good together if I would be truthful with myself. I closed the door behind me and took a deep breath. He didn’t even notice me.

Was this over? Were we done? Did we even have anything to begin with? Am I making a claim or a mine that was never mine? Was I the one making all the moves and feeling all these?

I quickly ran to the door as I heard footsteps approaching me and I didn’t want to meet anyone. So I headed straight for the elevator, hoping that I get off on a different floor.

This was obviously an unlucky day for me.
