Chapter 13 - 13. The Herbal Soup

Markus was eminating a very cold aura by now. Any employee that crossed path with him would feel a chill down his spine. The temperature was dropping so fast that Joel felt as if he had suddenly stepped in antartica.

He was praying for the ladyboss. Why does she have to anger him again. His boss already was very short tempered and now the lady boss always provoked him. Joel could see that the coming few days would be very hard for him.. He would always have to remain on his toes.

On the other hand, Kizy went back to her work and forgot about this entire fiasco. She was a complete workaholic. Thus even she didn't realize that she had been working continuously and it was time to leave now.

She went out with Claire and others and suddenly spotted the very familiar black car. She knew that Markus must be inside. Hence she excused herself and ran away, hiding from others. She discreetly went towards the car and opened the door.

But a very cold aura made her gulp the moment door was opened. That's when Kizy remembered that she had angered some certain devil. She immediately tried to shut the door and run away but someone was even faster this time.

"Won't you be getting in my dear Wife?" Markus asked. But that voice sent chills down her entire body.

Kizy knew she was doomed and silently entered the car. She was expecting some sort of rebutal from Markus, but nothing happened. Even after sitting beside Markus for fifteen minutes, the man didn't glanced even once at her. Kizy was visibly relieved and lowered her guards against him.

The car came to a halt and Kizy saw that they were outside the hospital. She immediately opened the door and went hopping enthusiastically towards the VIP ward. Markus followed behind her with an evil grin.

"Mom!! How do you feel now?" Kizy asked in a cheerful voice.

"I am feeling much better. How was your first day at work?" Kate asked.

"Mom it was good. You know i already made a friend called Claire. She is very bubbly and ta-" Markus interupted her mid sentence.

"Mom i want you to do justice for me" Suddenly he spoke up in a pitiful voice. Kizy was suddenly stunned at his tone.

"Why what happened Child?" Kate asked.

"Mom its just that her periods arrived. She said that she was in pain. I wanted her to drink the medicinal soup but she didn't like the taste. Ever since then she is angry with me for that awefully tasting soup and ignoring me. I kept insisting that it was for her own good but she won't listen. Is it wrong for me to care about her" he said with a sad expression as if he was a person who had been wronged for his entire life.

Kizy on the other side wanted to slap herself in the face. How could she forget that this devil always holds grudges. Be it small or big matters, he would always take revenge upon his enemy. And she happened to be one on the top of his enemy list.

"Mom its nothing like that. Why are you spouting such non sense" Kizy glared at him with a deathly stare as if warning him to stop. But...

"Mom see for yourself. I understand that she would have moodswings, that is why i have been patiently trying to talk her out. But everytime she just scolds me. She even scolded me in front of my employees. But even then i didn't mind it. What should i do?" Markus spoke again.

Kate knew that her daughter had horrible menstrual cramps. On top of that, she knew her temper very well. And why would Markus lie to her on a topic like periods.

"Kizy how can you do that? I know you have some temper but is it okay to scold and insult him in front of his employees? Apologize to him now" Kate ordered.

"But mom its not like what he said. He is lying. I didn't-" Kizy said but once again the devil interupted her.

"Mom even my secretary Joel was there. Tell us if she didn't insult me in front of all the employees?" Markus asked while turning towards Joel.

One had to take there hats off for Markus's shameless behaviour. How can one use there insult as there strategic point. Joel was secretly lighting a candle for his ladyboss before saying.

"What boss said is true. She even said that boss was mentally retarded and unstable in front of all employees" Joel said. Afterall he was Markus's man. On top of that, whatever he said was truth.

"You.. you .... how can you frame me like that?" Kizy asked furiously to Joel.

"Then are you telling that you never said anything like this Miss Kizy?" Joel asked.

"I said but that was-" and this time Kizy was interupted by her mom.

"Enough Kizy APOLOGIZE!!" Kate said. She was thoroughly disappointed with this daughter who she thought was very clever.

Kizy suppressed her urge to kill Markus on the spot. She took a deep breath before saying.

"Sorry"

"You don't have to apologize love. I just want you to finish those medicinal soups. I have been carrying them together with me all day so that you would drink it" Markus said pleadingly.

Kizy had already shooted Markus almost a thousand times in her mind by now. If he didn't wanted the apology, he should have stopped her mom before. Instead he waited till she had to forcefully apologize. And then started with his oscar winning acting of a filial husband who was so in love.

"Kizy do as he says" Kate ordered strictly.

"Ok i will drink" Kizy said. It wasn't a big deal anyway. She had already drank a bowl in the morning and the taste wasn't bad.

Markus immediately signalled Joel, who pulled out two containers that were completely packed. He removed the lid for one and passed it to Kizy. Even the herbal fragrance emitting from soup was good. Thus Kizy immediately took a spoonful of soup and the next moment she felt like vomiting her gut out.

This soup was the worst thing she had ever tasted in her life. Now she knew why that damn devil was persistent in making her drink this shitty soup. How was she supposed to finish this thing which was destroying her tastebuds completely!!
