Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 168

Chapter 168: 168- Nina/Geena

She sighed looking at the girl who needed a lot of training for standing beside Rafael. Nina opened her purse that was on the coffee table and took out some bills to pay the tip to the server.

“Thank you, ma’am,” he placed the tray on the coffee table and was about to leave when Nina called him.

“Excuse me!” The boy stopped and turned around.

“Yes, Ma’am?”

“Can you ask someone to place fresh toiletries in the bathroom?” she asked him while taking a puff of her cigarette.

“Ma’am. If you’ll dial one two one on the intercom it will connect you to the front desk…”

Nina didn’t let him complete, “Rubbish! What do you think? Am I asking you this without calling reception? Bring me the toiletries or return me the damn tip!”

Geena looked at her boss with her jaw dropped in surprise while the poor server was also not expecting this pettiness from the lady.

“S…sure, ma’am. I will bring you the stuff,” he bent his head and left the room. Geena felt sorry for him.

Shaking away the thoughts, she kept her focus on the tray placed on the table. Geena held the porcelain pot and poured steaming hot chocolate into the mugs.

“Here,” she placed Nina’s mug on the small table near her chair, “I’m sure you will feel better.”

Nina saw her settling back in the chair while holding her cup, “Why are you doing this, Geena?” Nina asked the girl this unexpected question.

“Sorry?” Geena looked at her innocently.

“Why are you doing this for me?” she gestured towards the mug, “All this time, the only thing I’ve been doing is insulting you, and yet…” she didn’t know what else to say, “Why are you doing this, Geena when all you need to do right now is to stay in the confines of your room and enjoy the alone time. Yet you are here and offering me this hot chocolate…”

Geena smiled sadly and started tracing her finger on the rim of her mug, “My orphanage… where I grew up… we had a very old but kind warden. She once told me that… women are supposed to stand together. Beside each other. Do you know what else she told me?” Geena eyed her with a serious face.

Nina who seemed to be in a trance, shook her head, “No. What else she told you?”

Geena pursed her lips and placed the mug on the coffee table, “She told me that men get away with everything too easily because,” Geena pointed towards her chest, “we women are ready to give them chances. But we never forgive our breed. As a woman, we don’t have each other’s back. Once we all women will be united, no man on this earth will dare to cheat or go against us.”

Nina didn’t know why Geena was telling her all this. There was no man involved in the fiasco she was facing in her life. She kept looking at her assistant’s face and then chuckled softly, “Your warden was right, Geena. We women indeed don’t help each other in climbing up. All we keep trying to do is to bring each other down.”

Nina was thinking about Marissa and Valerie while saying the words.

“You should drink it while it’s still warm!” Geena told her gently and picked up her own cup. She started sipping her hot chocolate and was very conscious of her boss’s eyes, scanning her face.

“Your warden…” Nine cleared her throat, “She… sounded like a sensible woman.”

“Oh, she was,” Geena smiled fondly at the memories, “I learned a lot from her. I was so attached to the place that I wanted to stay there after I turned eighteen. But alas! I wasn’t allowed to. They were quite strict about the rules. That’s the reason, I joined your company.”

Nina nodded taking a sip of her hot chocolate and regarded the mug, “Th… this is good. It tastes good. Thank you, Geena. I think I needed it.”

Geena gave a subtle nod to her head.

Nina finished her mug in a few more chugs and placed it on the coffee table.

“I think I should brush my teeth and go to bed. We have to start early tomorrow,” Nina said getting up from her chair.

“Yeah. Right!” Geena said sipping from her mug.

When Nina came out of the bathroom, Geena was taking the last sip of the chocolate brown liquid, “I think, I’ll take my leave.”

She stood up and stretched.

Nina went to the bed and Geena was quick to fix the pillows behind her head.

“Someday tell me all the things that warden told you, Geena,” Nina said while leaning her head on the pillow. Geena’s hands halted for a moment before she fixed the quilt near Nina’s shoulders.

“Did she always tell you such good things about life? Or it used to be like a class where she lectured you all?”

Nina raised her hips and then wiggled a little to adjust her position on the bed.

But then she went still when Geena laughed loudly. It was almost like a creepy laugh, “Oh. Not always, Geena. There was no concept of class when she taught me these things. She used to tell me such stuff when she used to lay beside me on my small bunk. When she used to ra*pe me.”

Nina felt someone had squeezed life out of her lungs.

“W…What? G…Geena!”

Geena cupped her cheek gently and kissed her forehead, “Don’t worry. I’m out of that phase now. I know you are sincere to me and only want the best for me. Rafael is a good man and I’m sure he’ll keep me happy. Just don’t stress yourself. Ok?

She switched off the lights and left the room while her casual words kept ringing in Nina’s head and kept stabbing her heart. Nina couldn’t help it and shuddered.

She used to tell me such stuff when she used to lay beside me on my small, bunk. When she used to ra*pe me.
