She interrupted me with another slap.
Harder than the first, I staggered back and my recoding gadget fell off
I quickly picked it up and realized that as it fell to the ground it automatically switched off.
She probably thought it was just my phone.
I was boiling with anger not only because of the second slap from her but more because all the whole slap was in vain.
It pained me to the bone marrow that my recording game is not going as planned.
And with that anger, I decided not to let her get away with the second slap.
I rose up with so much vexation and raised my hand to strike her right back but a voice behind me stopped me.
My hand hanged in the air for some seconds before I finally brought it down.
It was Mr Desmond, he was walking down and was just few feet away.
I didn’t even notice him at first until he spoke, stopping me midway.
Just when I was about to complete my actions.
Erin started her a
unnecessary drama
“Oh… oh my God. She wants to slap me. Can you imagine that the wretched girl I took as a friend and employed her to be taking care of my darling husband in my absence raise her filthy hand to hit me.. oh my gosh! I can’t believe this. Darling… did you see that? I told you that she was not exactly what she appears to be. I begged you to fire her but you bluntly refused. You told me that you don’t have any reason to do so because she is a “sweet” being. How sweet is she now because I have enough recording of her lies and accusations that will shock you. you really need to see the way Kay-se was accusing me of different things I have never thought of in my life. The recording I have of her will certainly shock you.
I was indeed dumb founded when she brought out her own recording gadget which was hidden inside of the clothes she was putting on.
I looked from Mr Desmond who was silently listening to his wife and looking so troubled back to Erin, she was busy running her mouth to make sure she spoil my name and turn Mr Desmond heart against me.
She quickly played the recoding, she didn’t start from the beginning.
“, This is exactly what I’m talking about darling. Did you hear all the accusations. Imagine the rudeness in her voice. I couldn’t take all of that anymore, I angrily slapped her and she almost slapped me back. You wanted prove before you fire her…. now you have it. With all of this, I don’t see her usefulness to us again. You have to fire her right away.
I tried to defend myself.
“I’m not lying. Everything I said is true. Your wife is not really who she claims she is sir. You have to believe me because you are between the blue sea and the devil. you are surrendered by danger. I’m only afraid for your life. Mrs Desmond is having affair with doctor Silas and she has been threatening me. I can’t prove it but is not an accusation. Is the gospel truth…
She suddenly started sobbing. She moved closer to her husband and went straight into his arms.
While Desmond was looking away, she looked straight at me and stick out her tongue.
As Mr Desmond was about looking she increased her pretentious cry.
“Darling… can you hear her? Did you hear how she accuses me right to your hearing. I have been your wife for years before she was employed. I was there all through the period you suffered on that wheelchair. I have always been there for you. My reasons for not changing Silas is simply because I thought he was the best. All i wanted was only the best for you darlin. I love you so very much… and can never look at another man twice. You are the best thing that have ever happened to me… This is why it hurts me deeply to hear all this lies and accusations.
She started sobbing even louder.
Mr Desmond began stroking her hair.
I tried saying something but I was surprisingly shun by Mr Desmond.
“Enough… that’s enough Kay. I won’t condole any form of disrespect directed or indirected to my wife. I trusted you Kay and do not expect all this altercation. If you respect me then you supposed to respect my wife no matter what. I’m quiet surprise to hear all this outburst of anger from you and you even raised a hand to strike her. I can’t believe you will do such… I have never seen you as a violent person until now. Even if my wife offends you is either you come to me and let me know or better still tell Erin to her face. I’m sure she will apologise… not all this things I hear and see. Kay… I must say you really disappoint me…
I watched Erin stick out her tongue again at me before rolling her eyes.
This woman has really outsmarted me.
How can I even defend myself in this present situation.
I have no evidence to back up my claims.
Mr Desmond obviously believed his wife over me and that makes him an easy prey to them.
“Return back to your quarters. I will think of what I really want to do with you later. You have really hurt my wife’s feeling and I do not find that funny.
I turned and started going back.
I can hear Erin saying.
“Thank you darling for believing me. I’m not only relieved I’m also glad that you are finally seeing things clearly now. Is high time to let her go.
I returned back to my quarters with anger and disappointment sucking through me.
If I have at least giving her little part of the slap I wouldn’t have been this angry but Erin did not have a taste of my hand.
The recording part was even more annoying.
Nothing went as planned.
I was also angry that Mr Desmond believe his wife over me and even wrapped his arms around her while stroking her hair gently.
Seeing such was very provocative.
If I knew what Erin was
Upto I could have played it all differently.
It did not occur to me that she was also looking for an evidence to send me packing from the house after her husband refused to fire me.
My fate lies between Mr Desmond granting his wife’s wishes or letting me stay.
we were gradually growing fun of each other, well… so i thought.
I thought it was so until he took side with his wife and scolded me for looking out for him.
Maybe is really time to start packing.
I can’t babysit him forever. Is high time for him to start letting go of the kind of love he has for his wife.
I’m angry at everything and everyone, including myself.
Erin outsmarted me and that’s not a good thing at all.
KATZY.
