Kyla Jackson

 

Kyla, please take the Telecom" Sandra, my colleague here at the restaurant said to me whilst she set another customer's order on the train. I nod my head before picking up the call. 

"Mr. James" I said. 

"Where is Sandra?" My boss shot me a question in a cold tone as soon as I answered the call. 

I chewed my lip nervously. 

"She's attending to other customers" I answered.

I became my boss's worst enemy as I keep turning down his advances towards me.  

It all happened the first day I came here to secure a job. All thanks to my wicked aunt who is a friend to my boss, I was able to get the job. She wanted me to work so I can contribute to the house expenses. 

I'm just 20 years old and I've been working my ass off for the past 5 years now. That was when my Dad died. I became a shadow of myself after his death. I was my father's daughter. His favorite as he loved and cared so much for me. I was treated like a princess but, on a faithful day, one terrible night, he got killed by some unknown men right in my presence.

I couldn't see their faces because they all had a mask on but, I can't forget the mark I saw on their body. It was a butterfly mark, tattooed at the back of their neck. They all had the same mark. I'm never going to forget such a horrible night. 

I moved in with my aunt here in New York for a better future but, I had no idea I would end up in hell. All I got from her and her adopted son was nothing but pain and maltreatment. They both treat me like trash. 

I feel like, she has a grudge against my father and I. 

"Get table 20 now and do not mess things up, Kyla. Important people are on that table, they can buy your entire generation. I do not want to lose important customers because of your irresponsibility" he warned and hang up the call before I could even say a word. 

A deep sigh left my lip before running to the said table but guess who I met there? It's the BILLIONAIRE BACHELORS; Raymond Locason, Daniel Christopher, Micheal Jonathan, Lucas Santiago, Leon Delson, Steve Reign, James Mysterio. 

That's the nickname people gave them. I really do not know how they come up with such a name but from what we heard, they all have been friends since childhood and they also went through a lot of hardship together before they make it this big. 

Everyone in this country and even across the country knows who they're. Rich and famous. They are the youngest bachelor in town. Every single lady in this country wants to end up with at least one of them but I don't think that's ever going to happen. Why?

Because they don't believe in love. All they ever do is toy with girls' hearts, sleep with them and treat them like pieces of garbage.

Before I could greet and ask them what they would like to order, I heard Raymond Locason cursing and threatening to make a girl's life miserable for accepting the marriage proposal his mom offered her. 

Marriage proposal? Is he getting married or what?

Poor girl!

If she ends up with him means, she will have to endure all his rude behavior. Watching her husband sleep around with different women and-

Okay, Kyla. Can you just shut up and concentrate?! It's none of your business! Stay out of people's business- I mentally scold myself.

I swallowed hard before opening my mouth to talk to them. I'm so nervous. They're the most successful businessmen, they are billionaires and it's hard for people like us to talk to them.

Nevertheless, I still summoned the courage to speak to them.  "Good morning, gentlemen. What would you like to order?" 

"Chicken fried steak for me" Daniel ordered. Surprisingly in a nice tone. 

I was thinking, he will be rude.

I hurriedly write down his order before facing Micheal. "What about you sir?"

"Mexican flat enchiladas. Is it available?" He asked. 

"Yes sir, it is." I answered as politely as I could. "Would you want a fried egg on top or not?" I added.

"Sounds great. Never tried it but would give it a try" I nod my head and write it down too. 

Before I could ask the third person, Raymond Locason suddenly slams his hand roughly on the table, making me jolt in fear. 

"Never will I fucking marry that bitch! I can't believe Mom is fucking doing this to me! She wants me to marry my enemy's daughter?!" He burst angrily.

"Calm down, Ray. We're outside and people are watching" Leon said.

"I don't fucking care! How does she expect me to live under the same roof with the same girl, her Dad killed mine?! Does that even make sense to you guys?"

"That's why Leon asked you to calm down. You have your way of dealing with this, remember? You already have a plan for her" Steve said, caressing his shoulder. 

This is deep than I thought.

I took their order and ran back to the counter to tell Sandra. She got their orders on the train and I pick them up carefully. I walk back to their table and gently placed everyone's order in front of them. 

I returned to the counter again, took their drink, and walk over to them. I placed each person's drink in front of them but when it got to Raymond, I have no idea how it all happened, I hit my leg on something and end up spilling the drink on him. 

Oh my goodness!

"Shit!" He growled and jumped up from his seat. 

"I'm... I'm sorry sir" I tried cleaning his expensive suit but he ends up pushing me roughly, making me hit my butt badly on the floor. 

Not bothering about the pain I'm feeling at the moment, I still managed to get up and tried cleaning his suit again and he allowed me this time around.

I was still trying my best to clean up the stain on his beautiful expensive suit when my boss showed up. Without asking a question, he saw the scene and glared hard at me. 

I stood there trembling in fear. If he ends up firing me because of this then, my Aunt will kill me. 

"I swear, I have no idea how it happened. It was a mistake" I begin to explain myself to my boss. 

"You know, what? I'm out of here" Raymond hissed, pushed me again, and walk away. 

My boss then turned to face his friends. "I deeply apologize on behalf of my incompetent employee. If you'll leave this to me, I will make sure she gets punished" he said. 

"It's fine. Just be careful next time" Lucas pat his shoulder but face me as he said that. "Come on, guys" he added and they all left. 

My gaze is fixed on their retreating back whilst I chew my lip nervously. My boss slowly turns to face me with a devilish look on his face. "Meet me in my office, now!" He ordered and left too. At the same time, my phone begins to ring. 

It's my Aunt.

"You have to come home now!" She ordered as soon as I answered her call. 

"B... But I... M.. my... My work... I just... I mean, I still have three more hours before my closing time and I-"

"I don't care, bitch! Just drop whatever you're doing and come back home. Now!" She said and hung up the call on me. 

I stood there contemplating what to do. If I leave now, I'm going to get fired. And, if I don't go to my aunt, she will make life a living hell for me! 

What do I do?- I thought chewing my lip again.

•

I walk into the living and saw my Aunt seated majestically with her leg crossed on each other. I end up leaving the restaurant without seeing my boss.

There's no doubt, I'm already fired. 

"Here she comes, witch!" She hissed before throwing a beautiful black dress at me. I hurriedly grab it before it could land on the floor.

She might find fault in that and end up starving me for making the dress fall on the floor. Not only for a day but might go on for weeks.

I was tempted to ask her what's the dress for but she beat me to it. "Go to your room now and change into this. Your husband-to-be and his mom will be visiting  soon" 

"W... What?!!!"
