Chapter 3 The slap

After watching Ava for a long time and seeing she won't be getting into trouble anytime soon, I decided to visit the restroom. I am already tired of sitting here and watching people without dignity mess up themselves.

As I was coming out of the restroom, I heard some commotion down the hall. It sounded like a female crying.

Just ignore it, Evelyn

But my self-pity got the better of me. I walk toward the noise, and I wish I didn't. Then I won't have seen this awful scene.

A beautiful lady is on her knees crying and begging an ignorant jerk who just stood there watching her begging.

What a jerk!

He is putting on what, I think, is a billion-dollar suit, with his hands covered in gloves. Seems like he has had enough of the girl pleading because the next thing he did was to kick the girl's hand off his trouser as he bent to her level.

"I hate the clingy type you know, you are a whore, and you should act like one. Understood?" he yelled right at her face as he stood up.

I should just leave them to their business, but my busy body won't let me. It is already too late to just walk away because he is staring right at me. His obsidian eyes were focused directly on me, and it feels like he is staring right into my soul.

His eyes were intimidating, but I didn't let them daunt me. I stared right back at him without breaking eye contact.

"Any problem?" He asked, walking steadily towards me.

Just say no Evelyn, just say no and walk away,

"Yes there is a problem"

shit! I and my big mouth. I hate complicated situations the most.

"Really? What could your problem be, then?"

"Don't you think you should apologize to her?"

Evelyn! What's wrong with you?

" Who? This whore? Haha, you shouldn't worry about her, she knows her place"

what a jerk. How could he say something like that? I just feel like whacking him right in the face.

"Don't you think you are being too harsh on the girl?" I asked, but the lunatic just laughed.

"You shouldn't worry about her, she will be fine. But what is a pretty girl like you doing here?" He asked as he attempted to caress my cheeks, but I was quick to move away from him.

"You know, I hate your type the most". I know that this man standing in front of me can sue me in court if he desires, but the chances of us ever meeting again is zero. So, I have nothing to lose.

"You are a psychopath that thinks he can get anything he wants with just a snap of his finger" with that being said, I turned to walk away, but a jerk will always be a jerk.

"Stop acting like Mary, it is ladies like you that are the worst. I called them sluts". Okay, now that just seals it all.

Before I can think of my actions and consequences, I was already walking back to him. And the smile that was on his face grew wider.

He may be thinking that I am giving in to him, but my action wiped away that smile from his pretentious face. Without thinking twice, I slapped him, and damn it feels good to have that smile off his face.

"Am more like the viper than Mary". I walked away with my shoulders held high.

I walk back into the hall to find out that Ava wasn't where I left her earlier. Where could she have gone to?

I left the hall and took the elevator to the entrance to find her looking all over the place for no one I know of.

"Who are you looking for?". She jumped out of fright, making me laugh. It's good to have a best friend who knows how to lighten the mood.

"You scared me. Where have you been?" she asked worried. I didn't mean to make her worry. I was planning to go and come back quickly unto I met that jerk. Only the thought of him get me fired up again.

Way to ruin my day, jerk.

Ava saw the change in my expression and grew worried again," What happened?" She asked.

"Nothing much. I just met an asshole today, that's all".

"Wow! He must have been a real asshole to have to get you cussing. Something that I haven't been able to do for years, I should thank this man" she teased but stopped when she saw the serious look on my face.

"Sorry. So, tell me what happened?"

"I will tell you later, for now, let's go home". I saw the hesitation on her face, she would rather not leave yet, but I would rather not stay there either.

"I will just wait for you in the car, enjoy yourself, and please don't enjoy too much, ok" I sighed as she hugged me and bounce childishly back to the elevator.

When we got home, it was already 2:30. After I came out of the bathroom, Ava and I share,I saw Ava arranging lots and countless pictures. She must have taken them when we were at the party. How can I forget her hobby so soon?

"How did you carry a camera in there without being noticed?" I asked, not at all surprised. She has always been a sneaky person since we were young.

"Are you seriously asking me that?" She asked with feigned surprise. I just shook my head and went to sit beside her as I went through the pictures.

The pictures were all nicely taken. I don't understand why she isn't studying photography, she would have made a good photographer.

" What do you use them for anyway? I know you are not a fangirl"

"I sell them to students in my department"

Those students don't know what to do with money then.

"These pictures are the pictures of the richest bachelors in the whole of New Jersey. Who won't want to have a picture of them" she asked dreamily. I wonder what was wrong with ladies nowadays.

"Especially Sebastian Carter, the owner of diamond pearl hotel. The most famous and most expensive 5-star hotel. To me, it is more like a house. There are suits, and there is even a beach in there, can you believe it?" Ava all but ranted. Something was wrong with my friend.
