Chapter 10 (part 2)
Back in Chris's office, Chris sent a servant to call Mike so he will talk to him. There
was a knock at the door.
Chris:come in...what is the name of that man you punished?
Mike:Florindo Carelli
Chris:is he death?
Mike:no
Chris:what have he done?
Mike:he stole a bag full of flour
Chris:and why didn't you tell me?
Mike:I didn't thought it was necessary, I had orders to...
Chris:from who?..my mother?...my mother told you to tie that old man And kick him to death?
Mike:we always punish like that here and my work...
Chris:your work is to obey my orders...and I already ordered you to be less violent with the workers
Mike:but they are all rebels
Chris:the rebel is you that doesn't do what I say...I don't care how things used to be in the past around here but now I am the one in command and how it looks that you don't want to obey, from now on you are not the supervisor anymore...and you can think that you're lucky that I didn't throw you out from here...and now leave
Mike:I don't think you're fair to me, you are young and I after all these years...
Chris:get out now...and even if I'm young call me Mr
Mike:yes, Mr
In Anna's room, Anna was talking to her servant Luana.
Luana:she was mad at me when I told her that here I'm your personal servant... I ironed her dress as she asked but...I know that Miss Sadie is going to marry Mr Chris but I have to ask you a question... if I'm doing something and Miss Sadie calls me to do something for her, I have to leave everything I'm doing to go do what she says?
Anna:limit your respect and your servicing for now but I will talk to Miss Sadie about this
Luana:thank you very much Mrs
There was a knock at the door.
Anna:go see who it is
Luana went to the door and she opened there was Mike there.
Mike:Is Mrs Anna here?
Anna:what do you want Mike?
Mike:I need to talk to you Mrs
Anna:if it's a problem about the mansion you have to talk to my son about it
Mike:no, Mrs It's not about the mansion ...it's about me
Anna:now I don't have time we have guests that I have to be with...we talk later or this evening
In the kitchen Amelia and Carmen were talking.
Carmen:is it true?...with a knife?
Amelia:and she was going to stab Mike...I never thought that something like this could happen...it looked like she was possessed by the devil
Carmen:no, it can't be Miss Jude is dedicated to god
Amelia:maybe she is but that's what Manuel (servant) told me and he was there and saw everything
Carmen:and why Miss Jude got so mad?
Amelia:she saw the old man Florindo the one that Mike tied up and kicked and then she told everything to Mr Chris that came there to see what was going on
At the poor house of Florindo. Florindo was in bed and his sister was taking care
of him and his cuts.
Sister:Mike will not forgive you for this...I told you Florindo why did you treat him?...you thought that he would give you back your Maria?
Florindo:in a way or another that bastard has to pay
Siater:maybe where he took Maria, she's fine...maybe there she's eating three times a day
Florindo:maybe I can talk to Mr Chris; he doesn't seem a bad man
Sister:maybe but if he doesn't believe you no one of the other workers is going to be with you. Mike scared them and they are afraid to go against him
Florindo:the other one that took his daughter from him, they didn't really took it because they gave him money for her and he accepted but I...I didn't wanted so they took her from me
There was a knock at the door.
Sister:open Lorenza (Lorenza is the girl that went to Jude at the chapel)
She opened the door and Jude was at the door.
Jude:hello how is your grandfather?...(Jude turned to Florindo's sister) good afternoon
Sister:good afternoon Miss
Jude:can I come in?
Sister:yes, yes come in
Jude:(Jude went near Florindo) how are you feeling?
Florindo:I feel better Miss and thank you
Jude:I brought you this (and gave a basket full of food to his sister)
Sister:thanks Miss...god bless you
Jude:are you his relative?
Sister:yes, I'm his sister...the little girl is Lorenza and she's our nephew but she's very sick she can't speak
Jude:I'm sorry for what happened, I talked to Mr Chris and he promised me that thing like this so cruel will never happen again. I will be happy to help you if you want...do you need anything?
Sister:no...no, we are grateful for your offer but...
She was cut off by Mike that entered their home without even knocking.
Jude:if you need me call me...I'm a guest at the mansion
Sister:thank you very much Miss but we don't need anything
Jude:bye Lorenza...bye
Jude left and Mike was still there with them.
Mike:why did she come?
Sister:just to see Florindo
Mike:have you told her about Maria?
Sister:no, no
Mike:Miss Jude she's not going to stay here for long and if you really want to see your Maria again its better if you keep your mouth shut, do you understand?
Back at the mansion in Jude's and Sadie's room, Sadie was talking to Carmen.
Sadie:what...Jude did that?...is she crazy?
Carmen:I don't know the only thing I know is that she was going to stab Mike and then when Mr Chris went there she told him everything and to release the prisoner
Sadie:what?...and all of this to defend a thief what does she has in her head?
Back to Jude, she was getting inside the mansion when she saw Jamie and was
talking to him.
Jude:who told you that?
Jamie:Chris...he told me you looked like an angel ready to punish bad guys
Jude:the truth is that I took that knife only to help that old man
Jamie:the truth is that you have temper
Jude:I was mad and angry; it was not pleasant to see a sight of that violence
Jamie:you don't have to be so surprised of these things, around here it's how it is
Jude:yes, maybe but it was injustice
Jamie:there are many injustice things around the world for example for me it's injustice that a beautiful lady with all the quality wants to close herself in a convent
Jude:everyone makes his decision
Jamie:I'm sure but it's a waste...I want to tell you something Jude...we men we like to go to parties and have fun...we seduce all the women we like but when it's time to get married we decide carefully who our wife should be and between all the smiles, seduction and flirt it's not easy to find a wife...a wife so perfect like you
Jude:I'm just like the others with mistakes more than perfection
Jamie:I don't believe you...you can make happy even the most man unhappy on earth
Jude:please, just stop it and I already told you that I want to go back to the convent
Jamie:at this point I just can only pray god that he will change your mind
In the living room with Victoria, Anna and Sadie.
Sadie:she lost her mind mum...how could she treat the supervisor?
Victoria:I can't understand, how could have something like this happen?
Sadie:she defended a thief that Mike have punished
Anna:and Chris knows about this?
Sadie:of course, she even treats Chris with the knife...look at her here she comes
Jude came in with Jamie by her side.
Victoria:how could you Jude?
Jude:what mother?
Sadie:don't act so innocent...you're crazy and a bitch
Victoria:I feel so embarrassed and you have to say sorry to Chris and Anna
Anna:no, it doesn't matter
Jude:I saw a worker tied to a...
Anna:you don't have to go on the argument...I leave now
And with that Anna left to her room.
Sadie:why did you do it?
Jamie:please, Sadie nothing happened
Teasers:
Jude:oh, now I understand why you were so mad
Jude:I acted like that only because I wanted to help
Jude: I don't want to argue for things without sense...I see you later
Jamie:oh, are you still going on with what happened?
Chris:no, Jude it wasn't and I understand why you did it
Jamie:yes, but your manners of gentleness was directed to the hearth
Chris:you're more beautiful today
Chris:no, what are you saying?...you can't see how much I care about you...you are my life and nothing is going to get in between us right?
