Chapter 117: Chapter 117
Momma! Please open up. Barbara could hear the little girl begging the woman at the other side, yet the woman keep laughing.
What do you want? Drugs, I could give you drugs, it will make you not be Afraid of them, you shouldn't be a coward like your worthless father, he can't even fight for what he wants.
I hate you momma.
I Know, you love your grandma and that is the reason you should remain in there, it's a good thing she is not coming back, she is dead already.
What is dead?
This idiot, fine, she is not dead, now enjoy your play, I go on now, see you later.
Momma!
The little girl called and screamed in anguish, Barbara could see herself as the little girl, she wanted to run away, escape from those cockroaches just as she too want to run away from the one moving on her skin now, she was terrified, scared to move, broken emotions, all those awful memories of that little girl's seems to be like she was the one experiencing it, she opened her eyes slightly then she could see Dante back on, he is too engrossed to noticed her, she could feel that, everyone is against her, all of them are backing her and laughing heartily.
Then she move her eyes to her legs, the cockroach is almost on her laps, she shakes her head.
Li Jun! She called faintly, causing Dante to turned, his eyes were pale seeing the pale face of Barbara, she had already fall from the chair, Dante jumped through the table, not minding if he will fall to hold her.
Don't touch me! She cry, hearing the constant tears of the little girl, Dante eyes widen seeing the cockroach on her lap, he shoo it away.
Babs! It's me, Li Jun. He embrace her. It's gone, just open your eyes, it's just me. Although fear had taken her sense of reasoning, she really wanted death just as that little girl in her dreams had wanted death, still she smell that familiar scent, it's Dante the man that keeps protecting her.
Are you sure? She asked almost breaking down.
Yes, open your eyes let's leave. She open her eyes slowly, then look at her laps, it's no longer there, the janitor had gotten rid of it, she move her gaze back to Dante.
What take you so long to look at me? They were much, so many, they were going to kill me. Everyone at the hall stared at her, it's just two while is she saying they were much, she move her gaze to Dante, whose face is filled with worried, she could see he cares about her.
Barbara, why are you saying they are much when it's just two? Are you...
Shut up Shirley. Dante yelled at Shirley. Come on! As soon as she pulled her up, she passed out on his hand. Shit! He cursed then grabbed her into his hand. Out of my way. He yelled as his staff who were blocking his way.
Dante, you should call the ambulance.
Get off my way, if you don't want me to knock you down. Shirley move outside, then grin at Mila, the hall is in roar.
That woman must be insane!!!
How could she say they are many, when it's just two?
Geez! I am sure she is not fit to be the COO
Of cause, she is shouting and hallucinating like some mad woman.
Stop it Shirley, big bro will not like the words you are using right now in front of his staff, he is going to get furious.
Why? Is the boss having an affair with her? Mila asked, Sally look at her.
Don't you all have a heart? She is in pain and all you could think is irrelevant things.
"Stop defending her, she has a disorder that doesn't befit the position of a COO talk more more of sir Dante status and personality, can't you see she has a disorder" Isla words were biased, you could see that she is interested in Dante, Mila look at Shirley who just pulled out, leaving Isla and Sally to Battle words.
Isla!
Stop calling her, it's obvious that woman had mental health issues, didn't you hear her words, they were like some one hallucinating and she keeps saying the cockroaches are many, probably some kind of psychological issues from her past or probably genetic.
Why do I feel you know something and your tongue is in a hurry to speak? Sally asked then dismissed the others leaving just the two of them.
As you said earlier, Dante is in a better position to answer that question of yours, he should tell his family that he is falling hopelessly in love with a woman that is adopted and a daughter of a murder, not really adopted, she is an illegitimate child from a woman that is a murderer, a drug addict, someone who kill her own mother because of Barbara and Barbara had drugs in her system right she was a baby, her mother had fed her with it for two years before sir Calvin retrieve his daughter and make people believe that she is adopted.
Come on girl, Barbara background is nothing to write home of, she had undergo so many psychological treatment to take away that awful memory but looking at her situation, she will never get better, she will remain that mad child and that daughter of a psychopath, that gene will always be in her, what if she go crazy completely? What if she hurt Dante when that...
Stop! Sally yelled at Shirley, her anger as reach his limit, she was boiling for the longest time, Shirley's words weren't funny and she doesn't like it one bit, how could she exaggerate everything that she thinks will happen to Barbara.
Why are you yelling at me? I only wanted to help, seeing that Dante is my best friend...
I am glad you used the word best friend and not your family, it's only right for our family to dig into someone background that we want to be admit into our family not someone else doing it for us. So we will appreciate it, if you refrain from whatever you doing, I am sure big bro will not like this, you saw that big bro will go mad if anyone try to hurt her and if you have plan of that, you should stop, she wasn't there when he fall in love with you and she wasn't also there when you break up with him, so stay away from her
Sally!
Stop I am not your fans, if you have love my brother that much, you wouldn't had leave, you would had stay with him, he is still that bossy type as you call him, nothing has changed about him, so instead of trying to get him back, you should respect his decision and leave if you can't respect his decision because you wouldn't like my reaction, if he get in another scandal.
Sally walked out on Shirley. The girl is really annoying, how could she be so nosy and get a background check on Barbara as soon she arrives? Sally was only thinking that, she got the information shortly as she arrives, she doesn't know that, she got it years back, as soon as she saw Dante on that video with Barbara, she is aware that the girl is trouble and she is keeping her man. So she had a background check on her.
That lunatic, who does she think she is? Acting like she own big bro, I will look for any means to kick her out, blaming the innocent girl for a crime, she didn't commit.
It's disrespectful to Sally, yet she had to hold her peace, she needs to see the condition of Barbara, that is the most important thing not that lunatics of Shirley. Whose main aim is to blackmail Barbara and kick out because of her family background.
