Chapter 12
Babe gulped in, trying hard not to stare at them as she made her way to the table. Florencia’s smirk increased.

“And look at who we have here, the beggar whore…hmm, didn’t know you have a job…just look at how ugly she is” She mocked, clamping her fingers together. Babe simply ignored her, Harry sighed looking intently at Babe who paid no attention to him.

She walked to the table, avoiding Florencia’s taunt and stares from other people in the room, bending to place the drinks on the table. But Florencia was fast enough to hit her leg beneath the table making part of the drink spill on her just when Babe dropped it. Babe gasp, seeing the mess she had made.

She quickly bent forward to pick up the broken glass which had fallen. Florencia’s scream was all she heard, piercing into her eardrum.

“What is this nonsense, you b!tch….oh goodness..my dress…my expensive dress” she exclaimed, getting on her feet

“Dear, you need to calm down” Harry tried saying but she shush him off

“I’m sorry….”

“Sorry my foot, you good for nothing b!tch” she slammed, sending a resounding slap to Babe’s face. It stings for a second as Babe retaliated, sending her two slaps. She shriek in pain. Harry stepped in to separate the fight.

“Babe what the hell” he yelled at her

“Tell this girlfriend of yours to stop slapping me at any opportunity, I’m not a whore like she is” Babe challenged, trying hard not to tear up. The scene had already drawn attention from people around, as they set up the phones to capture it

Ophelia rushed in, after a staff had told her of the happenings, she came to plead

“How dare you slap me…huhnn…you b!tch” Florencia gritted, trying to fight back, but was pulled by Harry. “What’s going on here, Babe… what” Ophelia asked.

“Ask this monster you took in as an employee, read my lips….it’s either she leaves this place or I shut down the restaurant for customer assault.” Florencia yelled as Ophelia tried pleading with her, but she paid no listening ear, easing the pain on her cheek, from the slaps she had received.

Babe gulped in as tears glittered in her eyes, she watched as Florencia yelled and rant, while Harry simply stood, doing nothing. Their eyes met, she saw a glint of sadness in it, or was she just imagining things?

Picking up her purse, Harry dragged Florencia out of the restaurant. He was very sure that the scene displayed here will be up online any moment from now, this is something he loves avoiding.
Babe’s POV
I watched as Harry pulled her out, sparing me no glance. My boss went after them perhaps trying to plead. “Hey…it’s ok” I heard Ashley’s voice from behind me, she placed her hand warmly on my shoulder.

I nod, walking away from the scene towards a the restroom. I really need to get off that b!tch slap on my face. Her fingerprints were clearly printed on my face, I hope mine get doubled on hers. Sprinkling the water on my face, I made to wash it off when a knock sounded on the door. Wiping off my face with a towel, I pulled the door open only to meet one of my co-workers.

“The manager is asking if you, she wants you to meet her in the office” she noted with a slight frown on her face.

“Ok” I simply muttered, shutting the door to her face. I let out a breath, relaxing my back on the door. I know she would scold me, but that will be better than a query. I know I shouldn’t have slapped her back, but she pushed me to. The fact that Harry stood there to watch all this is more than painful. Why is he being so cruel?” I thought, letting out the burden in my heart by shedding tears.

I made to leave after crying my eyes out. The manager could be seen pacing round her office.

“Manager?” I called out in a croaked voice. “Come in Babe” she noted firmly. I walked in, taking gentle strides toward her table.

“What was that for Babe, you slapped a customer, after ruining her dress with the drink, due to your clumsiness. Don’t you know the work rules, this is unlike you.” She snapped, anger clearly written on her face.

My face fell, I should have been careful, but I have this feeling that that b!tch hits my leg, this isn’t the first time I’m serving customers, I wouldn’t have trip on a normal day..

“I’m sorry about being clumsy, I wasn’t myself….but she slapped me first” I resorted

“That’s not an excuse…there are things you should have endured or overlook”

“I’m sorry Manager” I pleaded with a sorry face. She sighed, rubbing her temple

“Anyways, here….that’s your salary for this month and little tips added, you fired” she muttered. My eyes almost popped out of its socket, I stared at the money she dropped on the table returning my gaze back to her. What’s does she mean….fired?? No, no…i don’t mind receiving a query this time, getting fired is like sending me to hell. I hurriedly went down on my knees

“No, you can’t do this to me….please ma, I promise to follow the rules, don’t fire me” I pleaded in tears. She heaved a sigh, pulling me up.

“I’m sorry Babe, but there is nothing I can do….do you know who that lady is, she can rip off this restaurant in a jiffy, and I don’t wanna risk that. She asked for this and I must do it. You have to go” she noted her point, not going back on her words. I stood there dumbfolded. That b!tch didn’t just take my boyfriend from me, but also my job, and Harry caused this….he did. I sob, nodding my head.

“It’s ok, I will leave….thank you ma” I appreciated, picking up the envelope that contains my last salary.

I went back to the counter to hang my apron, Ashley walked up to me on seeing this.

“Babe, what’s wrong…are you leaving?” She asked. I nod, not saying a word. The pain in my heart is beyond words. Picking up my handbag and other necessary things, I made for the door but she blocked my way. I’m trying hard not to break down

“Talk to me Babe, what’s going on. I ain’t gonna let you leave” she snapped, almost breaking down. She might have gotten the clue of what had happened.

“Just let me go Ashley….I’m gonna let you know about it when you arrive home” I cooed
“But….”

“Ashley, I wonder why you are here when the food you left is almost burning up” Tiana muttered from behind as she gasp, walking away hurriedly. She paused to look at me, while Tiana simply rolled her eyes, hissing slightly

“You’re surely gonna tell me about what Manager said….bye” She rushed her words dashing out.

Walking out of the restaurant, I turned to look at it one last time, wondering if I will ever get a good paying job aside this. This job was my life, my only source of income…how will I cope now? I will be having a baby in nine months time, I don’t want it to meet me jobless. How I wish I never met that b!tch, she is the cause of my sorrow.

I was about hailing a taxi when a black car drove towards me, parking few meters away. The window was whined down revealing someone in hood and sunshades.

“Get in” he muttered; recognizing the voice, I hissed loudly making my way away from the car. Tears already clouded my eyes, I didn’t want him to see it. Without raising my head up, I walked away, hastening my steps

“Babe!! Babe!” He called, getting off the car as he ran after me

“Babe wait’ he persisted. I made a u-turn in haste not watching my direction, only to collide with an oncoming bike.

“No!!! Babe….look at me, damn it…” I heard Harry scream, my breath was leaving me as my eyes got blurred. All I could hear were screams of people around and that of Harry, before drifting into unconsciousness.
