81: Games and drugged AEs.

KIKI.

Taking a deep breath, I walked in with my head held high as the guards allowed me in into the big ball room. I could see the rest of my co workers all laughing and eating already. And I paused. They glanced at me and started pointing hands at me whispering to themselves so I snubbed them and walked over to the buffet table to pick a few things to eat.

I had barely gotten settled when I heard a voice at my back saying,”Well, well,well, look who we have here. The EA slut everyone.” She said in a loud voice. I knew that she was trying to humiliate me so I just rolled my eyes and kept quiet. Engaging her would mean rolling In the mud with a pig.

“You think you are so brave walking in here to enjoy the party when you know that you didn’t get here by merit. Don’t you know that you are not fit here. Please, leave before you make me sick.” She said as I turned to face her.

“Oh dear, you’re so jealous and envious that ots eating you up inside. And I honestly didn’t didn’t to engage you in your bitterness because when we argue with a mad women, people won’t know the difference but you honestly can’t just kept shut, can you?” I said, glaring right at her as she frowned and took a step back. There was no way that I was going to let her or anybody else step all over me when I know that I didn’t get here according to what they thought. I got it by merit and virtue of my personality and handwork so I deserved it as much as they did.

“Listen here, you little slut…” She said coming to me as some of the ladies in the office that I could recognize came closer but I stood my ground and interrupted, “Are you scared to take me one on one that you are bringing your minions to intimidate me. Bitch, I do not care who you are, I can take care of you and your little side kicks so I suggest you all walk away unless you already have an appointment to get a nose job because I will break all your noses.” I said clenching my fists.

They all looked at each other as one said, “she is not even worth our time. She knows she doesn’t belong here so she is already uncomfortable. Why don’t we mingle and talk trash about her to other people? Let’s see if she can withstand the truth.”

“Excuse me ladies, what’s is going on here?” A guy said walking towards us as the ladies with Judy all shook their heads and walked off.

“A knight to the rescue. How are you my beautiful damsel?” He said bowing to me as I rolled my eyes and told him,

“I never asked for a knight. I could deal with them quite alright. But thanks.” I said as I turned to leave as he held my hands.

“Wait, please. I know you don’t need my help but I didn’t even get your name. Hi, I am Luca Arts and may I have the opportunity of being your date tonight. If you have me by your side, those ladies wouldn’t dare come near you. Besides I need you to keep me company while I scout for good EA’s.” He said as I laughed and shook my head.

“You are quite funny, you know. But sure, I guess the only worse thing I could get by following you is having a boring talk. I am in.” I said as he held out his arm and I hooked my arms with his and we went to a place to sit down and talk.

We were having a nice conversation when someone came and tapped him on his shoulder interrupting what I was saying and whispered a few things in his ears. He nodded and turned to me but I smiled and replied, “Go settle it first. I will just wait for you here. I am not that bored anymore.” I said as he smiled and kissed my hands before he left with the other guy.

“For you miss.” A waiter came handing me a drink as I realized that the one I had was empty and I smiled and took it.

“Thanks. You are quite observant.” I commented as she just nodded her head stifly and walked away while I sipped down a little.

I was waiting for Luca as I downed down the entire glass and felt funny. It was as if I wanted to sleep and my legs were dragging me against my own will. I couldn't remember half of what was happening but I could hear the laughters and lights on my face as I stumbled and fell down.

I frowned. How dare Judy do such a thing to me? I knew this was automatically her handiwork, struggling, I stood up and tried to look for her when I stepped on something and almost fell before I was pulled into a hard wall. I was confused. This wall didn’t seem like a wall and why would there be a wall in the middle of the hall. It stopped me from falling, as I started feeling the wall up to check what or who it was but then I heard a familiar voice speak so authoritatively.

“How dare you people do such a disgusting thing to someone, anyone. Don’t you know that she is better than the lots of you?” I tried to force my eyes open.

This was Gigi, no doubt. What was he doing here? I struggled to break free but the more I struggled, the more I became limp.

“Where is Judy? Walk out here now before I find you myself. I know you are the head behind this silly act.” He said as I heard shuffles and soon I heard Judy replied,

“We were just having some fun. It wasn’t that serious, boss. It is just a game. Besides she is not even hurt.” She said trying to cover up for herself as usual.

“Not even that serious? A game. Well, two can play that game. Judy Dante, you are officially fired. Whenever you come to work, be there just to clear your things from there.” He announced as everyone gasped.

“What? You can’t be serious, Giovanni.” She said in disbelief as I felt his hands on my waist tighten. He was angry, I could feel it.

“Get out before I do something more drastic and make sure that you aren’t hired by anyone else in this city and the neighboring ones. And you will spend time in jail for this because this is a criminal offence.”
