Chapter 31: Done with excuses
As we were talking for some time, Marcus phone rang. When he looked at it, he grabbed it, and then he answered. When he has done this, he listened for some time, and then, he said, "OK."
When he hides it, once again in his pocket he looked at me, and then he said, "I have bad news."
"What had happened?" I asked while looking at him.
"Your flat has not paid rent for a long time," he said.
"Are you fucking kidding me, I paid for everything," I said, and when I walked to the shelves, I take all bills from the last two years. While having it with me, I walked to him, and when I show him, he said, "oh."
While hearing him, I said, "I have all proof, so I'm clean."
"Yes, so some mistakes in the system come," Kevin said while eating, and when he looked at us. When Kevin said nothing more, Marcus said, "so, I don't know what is happening."
"Me too, but from whom you have this information?" I asked.
"Alice, I told her your address to save in the system as she hasn't had it," he said.
"Oh, OK," I said, and when I walked back to leave all papers back in place. When I had done this, I come back to the table. While being there I drank a little beer but not so much as it hasn't tasted so good. When I had done this, I forced myself to eat once again, as Marcus was observing me and I don't want to be scolded, once again. When I was doing it, Kevin said, "so how was your night."
"Good, I slept well," I said.
"Oh," he said, and when he looked at Marcus, he continues, "you fall asleep in a club."
"Probably I overwork myself a lot, while I was in Paris," I said.
"So from there, you have those clothes," Marcus said while pointing at them as they were drying, and I forgot to check them.
"Yes, it was an emergency, and as the boss called me, I go there with nothing, so she bought them," I said while looking on the ground feeling ashamed a little of this as I thought about it now.
"Oh, don't worry, Megan from the outside, look like an ice queen, but from inside, she is a lovely and nice person who care of everyone," Kevin said, and then he continues. After drinking a little more beer, "I know her from middle school."
"Oh," I said, and when I did it, Marcus said, "and I know her from studies more exactly thanks to Alice."
"OK," I said while knowing a little more about them. When I looked at them, Kevin said, "oh, I forgot to tell you, I have my company, but I have no collaborations with CDN."
"OK," I said while looking at him, and when I was doing it, he added, "but soon I might have some, but not so soon."
"OK," I said as I don't know what he means. When Marcus looked at me, he said, "don't let him have the easy deal, he wants some profits too."
"I'm mare assistant, so I have no power," I said while looking at them. When they nodded while smiling, which I didn't understand, we eat in peace. As we were doing it, the time has passed, and when we goodbye while leaving with one-third of the pizza. I looked at it, and when I put it on the plate, and hide it, in the fridge. After this, I walked back to bed without using crutches as the alcohol hit me a little and the pain wasn't so big, and then I lay while continue reading and trying to not so much move my leg. When this was happening I know one thing, and it's that I need crutches with me to work.
A little earlier, in the charity event. (Megan POV)
When I have done the second hour of almost talking with everyone, I walked to the table for the first time to have a small break as heels started killing me. 'Why I took a new pair,' I said to myself, and as I drank a lot of juice, I looked at what is there to eat. After knowing all that is here, I started eating. When I was doing it, I could hear Angela voice, "so how are you."
"Hungry," I said to her, and when I come back to eating, she looked at me, and she said, "I don't like it."
"Oh, it's nothing, you will get used to them soon," I said as she was rarely coming to those events. When I looked at her, I added in mind, 'I hate them too now, as more and more people come, and wanted, to have collaborations. Soon, I will be done, with excuses.' When I have done this, I looked at dad, who comes to us, and then he said: "auction soon will start."
"OK," we said to him, and when I had done eating, I walked to use the bathroom. While being there, I could hear complaints about me, which now started becoming normal as everyone eyes were on me. As I had done all, I walked out without caring, who is there, and when girls who are younger than me become quiet, I washed my hands. When I had done this smirk show up on my face, and I walked out. While I started walking to a family, a quick look at the phone go. While seeing an unread message from Alice I read it, and then, I answered, 'deal with it.'
After a few seconds, she answered, 'it's all done now.' While seeing it, I stopped, and wrote 'so you know what has happened.'
'No, but probably system error,' she wrote, and when I send her thumbs up emoji, I walked to the hall. While being there, I went close to my parents and sis. While being there, the auction started.
When it was going slowly, I started becoming annoyed, as nothing new is there, until one thing come on. While I looked at the kit, of the football national team, I know, that dad will want to have it.
"Now number eighteen," the person in charge said, and when it comes, she moved the frame around, and while seeing number six and name there, Jonson. As I looked at it, the person in charge said, "the kit from our win against Argentina ten zero from u18."
While hearing it, I understand nothing, but I could see that dad is hyped, as he is a football fanatic, and then I said: "what is so special."
"Last official national game of genius, before the end of the carrier which nobody knows why he had done this. As it didn't go out, and we lost track of maestro," he said.
"OK," I said while moving my shoulders, and when dad started bidding, he won it for a hundred thousand. While seeing it I rolled my eyes, and when I had done this rest of the event come. As we didn't bid for rest, we go out, and as they drove me back home. When we come there, I come out, and then I went directly to the bedroom, to take out makeup and heels especially. After I had done this, I went to the bathroom and took a long bath. After it, I felt refreshed, I changed to pyjama. When I had done this only a small drink of water has left and sleep. Tomorrow I need to make money back which we lost today on dad's bid.
