Distressed and eager
Camille narrates.
After the awkward meeting with the supreme boss of thepany, I feel totally embarrassed. It was
my first social contact with someone from this ce, they were all really cretins, they judged me by
the way I dressed, but my work was impable, the only thing that interested me was that my
mother was well, even if I had toe wrapped in garbage bags to work.
Thest few days that I''ve been working overtime I''ve felt haunted, there''s something I feel that
surrounds me, but I can''t tell what it is-it must be tiredness, working too much is driving me crazy,
coming backte to my aunt''s house the desperate one has me in check, I need to solve my
situation soon.
I''m walking in the dark, the damn bus has left, and the train station is closed, it''s cold and I have no
money for a cab, what I was missing after the ridiculous thing I did before my little boss, I just
needed to lose the job I had worked so hard to get because of it.
My nerves are on edge, I hear the steps of someone following me, I tuck myself in even more and
put my bag forward, I feel a blow in my head... I only see lights... I think I''m losing consciousness.
“Camille, are you ok? Camille wakes up please," I feel how a soft hand gives soft blows on my
cheek, my eyes are hallucinating, it''s the handsome of my boss.
“What are you doing here Mr. Alf?” I tell him while I touch my head, I look at my hand and I have
blood on it.
“It was a coincidence, I was passing by my car, when a man hit you, I wanted to stop him, but I
thought it was more important to see your state of health” Andy’s face is a poem, he looked worried,
he shouldn''t have to, I''m just another simple and forgotten employee of hispany.
“Thanks a lot, sh**, they stole my bag, all my documents are there, the money for my mother''s
medicines, oh no my cell phone, now how will I talk to her, I curse to myself”.
“Don''t worry about that, we''ll figure it out, for now I''ll take you to a hospital," Andy says as he helps
me up.
“No, not to a hospital, tomorrow is my day off, I don''t want to spend it in a doctor''s office, besides I
must solve my papers before Monday, or how will I get into yourpany with all the crazy controls
you have Mr. Alf?” I look at him with sarcasm, he smiles immediately, he knew that his reality many
times was funny, but not funny.
“Well, I''ll take you home, for the entrance to thepany don''t worry, right now I leave the
notification of a special permission, for the money there''s no problem, I''ll make you a personal loan”
he takes out his checkbook and I see that he put a figure, that wasn''t even equal to my sry of two
months, I open my eyes like tes and I give it back to him immediately.
“No way, I shake my head in denial, wrap myself even more, and move a little away from him, you
are very kind Mr. Alf, but I won''t have anywhere to pay that loan, don''t worry I will wait for my
payday.”
“It is an order, if you do not ept it, I will cancel your contract immediately, besides I must tell you,
of course without disrespecting you, in your closet there are too many clothes missing, you need to
change your style,e on I will take you home”.
I get into him luxurious car, and I was impressed to see how many things adorned it, I felt so small
there assaulted, I just went looking out the window, I was giving instructions to the driver, but I died
of shame, I did not want my boss to see my humble abode, it was awful!
So, I tell the driver to stop a block before my house, I would keep walking, as it could happen, what
if my boss the mafioso steals my check?
“Miss Camille, you don''t live here, Ondo, please give her a ride," his "servant" orders him now.
I look at him terrified, did he know where he lived, did he do that with all the employees, ten
secondster we were in front of my house, I keep looking at him before getting off that car, Andy in
spite of being that controlling, pathetic and schismatic boss, he was terribly handsome, his clothes
smelled of majesty, not to mention his beard and his teeth, his dark eyes prated my gaze and
simply inside I was lost in them... who was the silicone blonde to be the possessor of this man.
“Well Miss Camille, we have arrived, ready at your destination, she gets out of the car, puts her
jacket on and holds out her hand to me…”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Alf for everything, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for what you
did for me today, as soon as I receive my sry, I will start paying you, as you understand not evenProperty ? of N?velDrama.Org.
a single sry is enough to cover such a figure”.
“Pay me when you can, well I must go, I must get up early, it''s the middle of the night, and I have a
strict control with my sleeping hours” excuse me, Good night Camille.
He waits for me to enter my house, from the living room I watch him get into his car, he''s a weird
guy, handsome, but weird, for a moment he made me dread.
I tiptoe out to my room, I didn''t want my crazy aunt to realize I wasing in, or else she would
come out to stalk me, she would search me and take my check, I would use that money to buy
clothes and get out of there that weekend, I needed my space and my peace.
The next day I am so happy, even though I lost my documents due to the robbery and I have a
terrible headache because of the blow, the only fact of leaving that burrow where I was living now
comforted me, it was not that it was an ugly ce physically, I just felt a bad energy that did not let
me arise, my aunt lived all the time fighting with her husband, she never cleaned, I did it once a
week and when I arrived again everything was out of ce, actually we lived like pigs, and that did
not make me feel proud.
I got dressed as I could, I didn''t even take the trouble to make a decent breakfast, I just had a toast,
the happiness of leaving that ce made my stomach feel full, I open the door and I could feel how
the fresh air invaded my nose, that weekend I would not see my mother and my little sister, but it
would give a turn to my life, I was looking forward to find a new ce to live.
“Where do you think you''re going girl? the floors are about to be cleaned; I''ll tell your mother how
useless you are!” My aunt''s hoarse voice chases me behind the door, as she came out I was
jumping up and down, I looked like a little girl, I was carrying my check in an old suitcase, my only
decent purse had been stolen, but I would take advantage of Andy''s kindness of the loan, I would
still have to pay it back, so why not enjoy the money?
I go to the bank to exchange the money, after a long line, I finally get to the teller, and like all
advisors, she is always in a bad mood.
She receives the check and my document, without saying a word to me she gets up from her chair
and asks someone else behind her who seems to be her supervisor, after a couple of grimaces she
comes back to me, hands me back the papers through the window and just snorts.
“Darling, you have all the funds, but no signature, tell Mr. Alf to sign for you and we''ll immediately
make the disbursement” NEXT!
Damn my luck, my boss was a real son of bi***, he had made fun of me and made me believe he
wanted to help me, early Monday morning I will throw the check in his blessed face.
That weekend was fatal, now I was worse than at the beginning, without a single penny thanks to
the robbery, eating the crumbs that my aunt threw me for charity, and sleeping on that cold and wet
sofa bed in the attic, I just wanted to go back to my humble home, to be hugging my little sister and
taking care of my mother, I missed them so much, my life was so miserable, if it wasn''t for my
mother''s illness, I would be by her side, no matter if she was still working in that dirty cafeteria, I feel
without constion, I do nothing but cry, on Sunday I don''t even take a shower, I just resign myself
with hunger and cold for the wonderful Monday to arrive again.
Meanwhile for Andy things continued in the same routine, this Sunday he had an important social
event, where he would officially present his engagement to Keyra Jones, when sealing their
rtionship they would know that all the benefits would be double, two families of high society
woulde together to create thergest export emporium in the country, the mutual convenience
only let see the false reality of people with money.
“Andy, but why are you wearing that funeral face today, dear, at least hide it?" Keyra whispers in the
ear of her fiancé, who makes bad gestures when he sees how all the paparazzi cameras are
chasing them.
“Was all this show necessary, couldn''t we just have a normal engagement, like everyone else, a
small party, few guests, a delicious family dinner, everything must be vapid and full of entricities”
Andy ims to his fiancée, he hates public functions, he likes to be more reserved.
“Of course, it''s necessary dear! How do you think we will advertise the merger of ourpanies?”
Keyra tells him while gritting her teeth.
“I supposed with a good business management my darling, not with a bunch of yellow slugs" He
smiles hypocritically in front of the camera that now captures them.
“Agh! How shitty you are dear, if it wasn''t because my father chose you as my husband, I would
never have noticed you.”
“I didn''t tell you to sign those documents, with which, full of greed, you secured a few million in the
bank” Andy keeps smiling hypocritically before the cameras, now he just wants to get out of that
event center, he must get to the routine with his dogs and it''s gettingte, it''s past five o''clock... the
time wasted there in that ostentatious room wasn''t worth it.
