82: Booing and Punches.

GIOVANNI.

Throughout the few days that Kiki had been ignoring my total existence, I finally got to hear about the bullying that she had been going through. How it didn’t really get to my hearing that it could be that worse was nothing short of a mystery to me.

Apparently, the picture that Fiorella showed me, it was more than one and had been circulated through the entire building. And since they couldn’t come to me for fear of losing their jobs, they decided to direct all their frustrations at Kiki instead.

I was so dumbfounded and angry at the same time as soon as I found out. I was heartbroken that I was just focused on Kiki snubbing me not knowing this she was literally going through corporate bullying under my own nose. The worst part was that I had even heard from Matteo that those girls had it in so much for her that he was a little bit scared for her even.

And for Matteo who doesn’t really like Kiki to say that, it was something.

When I decided to drop by her apartment to check up on her, I had met the familiar lady named Rose who had introduced herself to me as Kiki’s friend and had called me when she was in the police custody.

She told me that Kiki had gone for the popular New york’s party for executive assistants which was being held today..

Slapping my forehead, because I totally forgot about it, I thanked her and quickly drove to the place eager to see Kiki as our ignore games couldn’t continue anymore and just had to end today.

When I got there, I could hear laughters and booing and I knew immediately that something was wrong. Forcing myself through the crowd that seemed to be gathering over someone, I got to the center just in time to see Kiki struggling so hard to walk properly and I quickly lunged forward to grabbed her.

She looked and acted drunk, I looked around and saw that nobody was even thinking of helping her, they were all laughing and recording her instead and my blood boiled with so much rage. This was the height of it all, I have had enough from these people.qho think it is okay to bully people just because they don’t fit into their ideology of what a person in their class should be. I knew immediately I had to do something.

Holding Kiki tightly to avoid her slipping off my arms, I yelled out. “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 said angrily as some started dropping their phones and hiding their faces but I wasn't bothered about there. It was one person I had in mind that I had to deal with.

“Where is Judy? Walk out here now before I find you myself. I know you are the head behind this silly act.” I said as I heard shuffles and soon I heard Judy reply, “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 in such a nonchalantly way that just got on my nerves even more.

Some fun? Saying nasty things to a fellow colleague and woman, poking fun at her unnecessary and circulating videos about her is what she called fun? And if I were to be smart, she also had something to do with this wobbling Kiki in my hands. No amount of drunkenness could do this to her, she had to have been drugged just to get her humiliated.

“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.”

I said without even thinking about it as everyone gasped. I initially wanted to give her suspension but after hearing what she said, my blood boiled and I outrightly sacked her, she had done too much this time, it can’t be overlooked. I knew Matteo wouldn’t let this go easily but at the moment I couldn’t care less.

She has to go to hell!

“”What? You can’t be serious, Giovanni.” She said as I felt my hand gripping Kiki tight who kept mumbling incoherently about something. Taking a glance to see the state that they left her in and the little bruise on her knee which was probably due to her falling, I knew that this was the right decision to make.

“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.” I added as she looked at me and turned away. Just like that, the whole crowd began to disperse as I led Kiki out gently to my car and opened the door to carefully lay her in it.

I raised my head to find Luca coming towards me with great strides, “Hello, Giovanni.” He greeted with a tone that hinted that he was definitely up to no good and I was honestly not in the mood for his back and forth.

“What do you want now? You should read the room.amd notice that I’m honestly not in the mood for anything that has to do with you right now.” I said cauaung him to roll his eyes just before he spoke.

“I like Kiki. I’d honestly like to make her my girlfriend, but somehow, you always get in the way of that happening.” He let’s out, but I wasn’t surprised.

“I get in your way? Can you even name one reason why you want to make her your girlfriend?” I questioned with a chuckle.

He took a long look at her and licked his lips like the disgusting pervert that he was, “Well, for one, that ass, I want to fuck it so hard and feel all its graciousness and softness, It’s quite bouncy, you know and …. “ I caught him off with a punch as he staggered and I grabbed him by his collar.

“How dare you say something as disrespectful as that right before me? I know that you’re a dimwit, but do you not have any respect at all?” I asked as he managed to free himself from my grip and before I know it, we engaged in a fight.

His punches were weak and I was able to deflect almost all, he didn’t stand a chance against me. He was losing, he was beaten up pretty badly and wasn’t able to hold his own.

“You’re not worth breathing the same air that she does, you idiot! And you are the last person she will ever fall for.” I said as I attempted to punch him one last time when I heard someone call out.

“It’s enough, both of you.” The voice had said causing me to ppause and focus on the owner of the familiar voice and who I saw was nothing short of shocking.

It was my elder brother.
