CHAPTER 3
"Are you crazy? You cant just tell people to quit their job just because you want to" I said.
"When I'm your boss I can." he said, as if what he is saying was totally rational.
"Well boss, I came here for a part time job as a maid not a full time. I actually like working at the café. i cant say the same thing for this place."
"Well i tried to ask nicely. You either quit working at that café or i will get it shut down" he threatened.
"You cant do that!"
"I can. If don't quit i will sue the shop for what happened to me there yesterday. I was publicly assaulted by you and i got plenty of withnesses too"
"Publicly assaulted? Really? Unbelievable. If there isn't anything you need please excuse me, sir" I turned and walked out of his room and not before i heard him shout
"Don't say I didn't warn you, and get me some ice tea" he added. I just rolled my eyes and went to the kitchen to get him his ice tea. He wasn't so hard on me today.
"El! Liam broke all my pencils in school today" Lena said immediately I entered my flat. She was already dressed in her princess pajamas.
"I just wanted to see how the pencil sharpener worked." Liam defended. He pushed his glasses back and stared up at me.
"And you couldn't use your pencils?" Lena asked
"I did but they became so small i couldn't sharpen it anymore."
"Enough guys why are you guys still awake? Where's Ian?"
"Asleep in the living room. He put us to sleep but we woke up." Liam answered. I went to the living room with the twins and Ian was asleep on the couch. He must be really tired.
"Couldn't sleep?" i asked them.
"No Lena dared me to stay up and wait for you." Liam answered.
"You're back. Why are you two up?" I heard Ian ask.
"Yeah. Up to bed you two. Good night" i pecked their cheeks and they left.
"Been back for long?"
"Nah. Busy afternoon?"
"Yeah." He cracked his neck and fingers.
"Go get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow."
"O.k see you tomorrow." he ruffled my hair. I slapped his hands away. He just laughed and walked to his flat which was right across from mine.
I got to the pretty late because the kids wouldn't get out of theirs bed when their alarm sounded.
"Sorry I'm late." I said to Ian when i entered.
"Erm, El i got bad news." He said scratching his neck
"Why what's wrong? Is your grand ma ok?"
"Yeah she it."
"Then what?"
"We have to let you go." He informed.
"Why what did i do?"
"My grandma got a call from your new boss' lawyer. He said wants to sue the shop for assault and that he will only withdraw it if we fired you. You know how much this shop means to my grandma. I'm really sorry. I feel awful" he said with guilt written all over his face.
"Its fine. I'll figure something out." I said to reassure him because i was so not fine. I was feeling murderous and if it wasn't a crime i would be at the Belkin house with a loaded life to end the life of that jerk. I took a bus and went to the only job i still have.
"Elsa good you're here. Collins said you should bring his morning snack when you arrived." Julia said to me. Of course he would give this order since he got me fired.
"O.K. Where is it?"
"Maria prepares it every morning. You should probably get it from her." She said then walk away.
"Morning Maria" I said to her. She was decorating the cupcakes she probably just baked.
"Morning dear. I'm almost done with this. Get me a tray would you please."
I grabbed on of the tray and gave it to her. She picked one of the each of the cupcakes she baked.
"Why didn't you add one of that one" I pointed to the only cup cake she didn't put on the tray.
"I put cinnamon in it. The young sir is allergic to it. His face swells up when he eats anything with cinnamon " she explained. I suddenly got an idea. O.k. more of a revenge plan. I picked one immediately Maria turned and rushed out before she caught me. I balanced the tray on one of my arm and knocked. i entered to find him in bed as always.
"Is nice to see you this early in the morning. Isn't it such a great day." he smiled. I just ignored him and set the tray beside him.
"Come on Elsa I know you are itching to shout at me for getting you fired. You know you want." He was right i was itching to but i wont give him the satisfaction.
"You are no fun today." He said and picked up one of the cupcakes. The great thing is he picked the cinnamon flavored one first. I just smiled indoor as he took a big bite.
"It has a peculiar taste. What's in it?" he asked after swallowing.
"Flour, egg, sugar and other ingredient. Oh and cinnamon." I added with a smirk.
"What?" he rushed out of bed to his bathroom so fast. It was hilarious. Revenge is so sweet. I would know because i ate the remaining cinnamon cupcake. It was delicious. I left his room before he came out. I walked into the kitchen with a big smile on my face.
"Maria Mrs. Belkin is looking for you. She's in Collins room. I think something happened to him." Julia said as she rushed into the kitchen.
"Oh dear. I hope he's fine." They both rushed out of the kitchen and i followed. There was no way i was going to miss seeing him with swollen face. He look awful and red and almost pitiful. keyword almost.
"You did this" he accused immediately the other maids and his mother left his room.
"Of course not. Why would i do such an awful thing to you. Its not like you got me fired or anything but this would be monstrous" i feign innocence. " But this is such a picture worthy moment." i took my phone out and snapped a picture of him while laughing out loud. This feel great.
"I am going to get you Elsa." he threatened.
"Oh please. Be careful Belkin i might just sprinkle cinnamon and everything i give you to eat. Get well soon. oh wait, don't. i am enjoying this too much. toodles." I turned and walked out of his room. He looked so angry and I felt so happy.
