I HAVE DRUNK STRANGE WATERS - Episode 7

EPISODE 7

I was determined to avoid Cynthia totally after that episode and it seems to be working. I was always busy in my office trying to arrange the company’s paperwork, I wanted to do my best and I gave it my all. To her credit, she didn’t approach me the first week.

However, I struggled not to notice how tight her uniform was and I also try not to whistle when I saw her shapely buttock. However, I couldn’t avoid her totally; the devil came knocking in my third week at work.

I was on the phone when Mr. Chris the supervisor entered my office looking furious, he looked as if he would explode any minute. I quickly rounded up the call I was on to attend to him.

“Yes Mr. Chris”

“Manager, I can’t take it anymore.  Cynthia has to go” he said furiously.

“Can you just calm down and tell me what happened?” I said calmly.

“She slapped one of our customers, last week it was one of her colleague she had banter with. That girl is too proud and sassy” he said when he managed to calm down.

“OK, next time, ensure you are on top of the situation before coming to me. The company made you a supervisor because of the faith we have in you. You should be able to handle the situation and mete out necessary disciplinary actions when necessary. Try to calm yourself down, ask Cynthia to see me on your way out”

I try to compose myself before she entered the office, she was looking gorgeous as usual and her sweet perfume assailed my innocent nostrils”                

“Miss Cynthia?” I said looking up, to my surprise I noticed she has been crying.

“I was told you summoned me, Sir,” she said calmly.

“What happened?”

“Sir, the customer was harassing me; I didn’t react until he touched my boobs. I am not working in a fucking bar for crying out loud. I am entitled to keep my dignity”

“Is there no way you could have handled the situation better without resorting to slapping him?”

“He deserved that slap, I would do it again if I had to,” she said with a determined look.

“I was told you also had banter with one of your colleagues few days after your resumption”

“Well, he was trying to make a pass at me, and I had to put him in his place. He is not my taste, and I made him know I wouldn’t be caught dead dating a cheap man like him”

“What’s your taste like?” I said without thinking and I regretted that statement immediately.

I saw the surprised look on her face, and then she smiled sheepishly.

“Someone that is responsible, smart and calm” and her eyes added “like you”

I smiled and pushed around the paper on my desk to look busy “Miss Cynthia you have been pardoned, but we will expect you to keep your temper in check in the future. This is a new filling station, we don’t want the news to fly that we don’t treat our customers well”

“Thank you, Sir”

“Apologize to your supervisor, you really got him worked up” I said with a smile and she rolled her eyes.

“Mr. Chris is always getting worked up over nothing” she said and laughed.

I was expecting her to leave but she was still there a few minutes later when I lifted up my head.

“Miss Cynthia you can take your leave”

“Why have you been avoiding me? What did I do?”
