193-Caught Them Having Morning..
"I can't believe we have come here to live with these psycho people," Mom was wandering around the room in worry from the last few minutes ever since I told her what I found in the fields today after hearing a girl call for help last night.
Pamela had only left a few hours ago, and she was back already. She knocked on the door and walked into the room after my mother let her in.
She was holding some sandwiches on a plate and had a smile so plastic on her lips that she couldn't fool US for a second.
"I have realized maybe it was a misconception." She had changed her entire demeanor with us after returning with the food plate.
"How did you go from accusing my daughter of seducing your son to saying it might be a misconception?" My mother folded her arms over her chest once she mustered some courage.
"I found out maybe I saw it wrong. When I came home, I was already a mess, so it just happened in a state of a haze. I would like to apologize to Beatrice for what happened upstairs. My son told me you guys were having fun, just like friends." She forced a smile onto her lips while setting the plate on the bed.
"Really?" My mom was skeptical, and so was I, but since we didn't have a choice, we gave her a smile. That didn't mean I wasn't on Markus' back. I was not going to rest until I exposed his truth and found out what was in those drawings.
"Please accept this," she pointed at the sandwiches and when tried walking away, she paused just so that she could approach me once again.
"I heard you found a dead body in the fields. Are they investigating it?" she asked nervously. Her pupils were dilating when wanting to know what was the status of the investigation.
"I don't know. All I heard was Akin calling the guards.' I said, telling her the truth.
"Oh! Well. I hope whoever did it gets caught. I don't want US to be afraid of the tall grass," she murmured while playing with her fingers anxiously.
"Oh! One more thing. What happened between you and Mr. Ubel?" She brought up his name, and I wrinkled my nose in disgust.
"He was found injured in his home, and he claimed he caught you stealing from him, and when he confronted you, you attacked him," she conveyed his side to me. I closed my eyes as I clenched my jaw. He had the audacity to think he could lie on my behalf.
"He didn't have anything to steal. He was being inappropriate with me, so I beat him up," I said without looking guilty.
"Oh!" Pamela seemed a bit off about my statement.
"Well, you will have to come to the café tomorrow to sign the papers that you are leaving the job," she informed me, turning around to leave when her proceeding steps slowed down at the sight of my mother.
"I am sorry but― ever since I have seen you. I keep wondering if I have seen you before," Pamela said to my mother, not playing any games. Her voice held suspicion, and the way my mother stretched her neck and fixed her posture made me feel like whatever she was going to say was a lie.
"No!" My mother shook her head.
"Oh! You look oddly familiar." Pamela stroked her chin before she shrugged and said, "Maybe my mind is looking for a friend in this world full of strangers."
After she left the room, my mom turned to me and didn't say anything for a few minutes.
"You met with Akin and didn't tell me about it?" Mom asked after she was done devouring a sandwich. I didn't eat it. Everything that was happening around me was taking a toll on not only my mental health but on my physical health as well.
"There was nothing to talk about. I will go to the café tomorrow and let them know I am not going back there again," I said as I got under the blanket and covered my head.
I knew my mom would be against the idea, but I didn't care. I would not go back to working forthat pervert. The morning routine didn't involve much. I would wake up, quickly take a shower, and leave for work. I did the same thing today, but only to properly resign.
However, walking through the field was a bit different today. I kept feeling as if somebody was following me. Maybe it was because of the trauma of finding a body not even a day ago? Whatever it was, it made me extremely uncomfortable.
Not wanting to take the backdoor anymore, I decided to barge into the café from the front door this time. There were not many people around at this time in the morning anyway.
Before I could get into the café and speak to the devil while he grunts and mentally abuses me, I recognized Maddox's car parked near the café. My heart skipped a beat because I never thought he would come by to check on me after he hadn't done it for a month now.
Gulping down the fear of getting him in trouble, I tried walking into the café, but then I couldn't proceed. The few hopes that had risen in my heart when watching his car drowned the instant I focused on what was going on inside the car.
Maddox had not come here for me. He was in the car with none other than Reign Winchester. She had her hair messy and her clothes off. Maddox was sitting too close to her, fixing his hair, and then grabbing a dress out of her hands to help her wear it.
At that moment, I just couldn't move a muscle. I never thought he would move on so quickly. Not even once did he check on me? The moment Reign wore her clothes, he filled her in his arms.
It seemed like they found no better place than this café to have morning sex.
