Annoying Neighbors

Lily watched the luxurious black car that took her husband away. Do not know where. Lily felt her heart tighten because of what her husband did. Her face was down. There is deep regret now. David had never acted like this before. Lily clenched her fists. Of course, this is all her fault. And now she really regretted it.

“Lily.” Jack came from behind, embracing her hips. Unlike before, this time, Lily completely dodged. It made Jack seem surprised to see Lily’s change. Lily had been really friendly to him before. Did not refuse his seduction at all. But after what happened earlier, Lily’s attitude changed 180 degrees to him. Jack clenched his fists. In just a matter of minutes, things have changed so much. His brows knit together, his angry look clearly visible. But Jack tried to hide it from Lily. No! He hasn’t lost at all. After all, not necessarily the poor David is a boss, especially a billionaire. If indeed he is a billionaire, then maybe for the past five years he has been comfortable getting insulted by many people, including himself.

‘I’ll prove it was all a mistake. Well, I’m sure there’s something wrong here! I have to be able to get Lily back! That loser David can’t have Lily’s heart!’ Jack swore in his heart.

“Come on, let’s eat inside. You must be hungry, right?” asked Jack, still in his soft voice. But Lily’s response made her blood boil.

“Not. I’m not hungry anymore. I’m tired. I’d better go home,” Lily said in a disinterested tone.

“But-“

“Just do it yourself, Jack. I changed my mind. Please enjoy your evening,” answered Lily hastily. She was about to leave, but Jack grabbed her arm.

“You really don’t want to? I’ve already booked a seat for the two of us. And it was not cheap. You know, this is a five-star restaurant.” Lily looked into Jack’s eyes. Of course, there was a look of displeasure there, and Lily realized it. But she really felt guilty for her husband. Oh, Lord. What’s with her? She’s been having an affair.

“Not. I’m really not interested.”

“Wait!” Jack’s breath caught. It’s a shame to receive that rejection.

“You must have changed, like when you heard that your pig husband is a boss, right? A fucking billionaire?! Oh, come on! Do you just believe it? Wouldn’t it be stupid to just believe it? I thought you weren’t that stupid! And, ha! You really are a gold digger fucking woman!” Because of his anger, Jack really couldn’t keep his mouth from saying harshly to Lily. Hurts the woman’s heart. Lily immediately slapped Jack’s arm around his wrist.

“Stop trying to meet me!” said Lily firmly.

She left, but again Jack held him back. “Wait. Sorry. I didn’t mean to tell you that. Really. Come home with me. You came with me,” said Jack, realizing what he said earlier. But Lily was also already burning with anger.

“No need! I can go home by carriage!” Then Lily really left. No longer paying attention to Jack’s repeated calls to her. While on the train, Lily was very restless. Is it too late to apologize to David? Does David still have the generosity to forgive her infidelity?

Lily covered her face with her hands. She cries. “David, honey, I’m sorry. Please, I made a mistake. Where are you now?” Lily could only hope that she could meet her husband at home.

***

David, Bruno, and the others had arrived in front of his mother-in-law’s house. “We can go to a five-star hotel to stay in before we return, boss. Isn’t your in-law always mean to you? She will surely annoy you a lot. We want to provide comfort for you, boss.”

David looked at the building in front of him, then turned to Bruno. “Come on.” But did not answer Bruno’s words earlier. He got out of the car. Bruno could only sigh. Actually, after five years of his boss’s absence, Bruno could see positive changes in his boss as well. His boss became more patient. Not arrogant like he used to be. Now, his boss can face the problem with humility. Bruno got out of the car, following his boss. Others followed him.

But they stopped their steps when suddenly there was a hint of ridicule that fell on David.

“Hey! Unemployment pig!” the old woman sneered in a really unpleasant tone. There was a middle-aged husband and wife looking at David with raised eyebrows and arrogant faces. Bruno watched them. Wondering what’s going to happen now.

David sighed. Something like this is a routine occurrence that he must accept when he meets a husband and wife who have a spicy mouth.

“I’m not in the mood to argue with Mrs. and Mr. Ainsley. I’d better go in now,” replied David, trying to be patient and polite. He wanted to continue walking, but the words with a scornful tone resonated in his ears.

“Look at that lazy fat man. Already unemployed, likes to make trouble. What the hell is that? Until the police came to his mother-in-law’s house. Are your mother-in-law and her daughter not ashamed to have a son-in-law and husband like him, dear? What a shame. If I had this useless son-in-law like him, I would definitely kick him out straight away. He doesn’t deserve a place to live. This fat guy was even more troublesome than the cats and dogs on the street. Huh! Disgusting! What problem is he making now? Mr. Cop, did he just steal? Ah, I thought so. He really is a jerk. Do not be forgiven him,” said the Madame Ainsley with that haughty face. David, who was used to such insults, was still patient. There was absolutely no anger in him.

Unlike Bruno and his subordinates. They all clenched their fists at the baseless ridicule..

‘What the hell is this old lady? They both already smell like graveyard wet. They should serve a lot in church, instead of insulting other people like that. Absolutely not exemplary! How strong my boss is to live amid these uneducated people!’

“I told you I wasn’t in the mood for arguing, madam Ainsley. So, I let the madam to use her imaginative brain to think about the insulting words. I don’t care,” replied David, not forgetting that he even bowed his body as a sign of respect to those who were older than him, even though he had received such insults. Ah, how humble David is now. He forgave them without feeling the slightest grudge. But unlike David, his Bruno will not stand still after these married couples have insulted his boss.

“HUH! How arrogant of you, you fat pig! What goods you thieved, huh? Show me! Is it some money, right?! Can’t support your own family, so you thieved! How much money did you steal?! Enough to eat today?! Otherwise, here! Take the leftovers from my sink! Hahaha!” The woman laughed with great satisfaction. Like a bad, ugly witch. This time, David was quite emotional. Was he really that dirty in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Ainsley? To the extent that he is considered a thief? And what was that? Picking up leftovers in the sink? How low is he?

‘Relax, David. You can’t get angry. That’s what they want. You got angry so they have another sneer at you. Let’s ignore it and go inside.’

“That’s up to you, sir, madam. I don’t want to respond to that.” This time David did not want his steps to be delayed again because of the ridicule. Unfortunately, this time it was Bruno’s words that stopped him.

“Ladies and gentlemen, can you repeat what you said earlier?” said Bruno. David turned his face to look at Bruno, then raised an eyebrow. Bruno smiled as he looked at them.

‘What’s he going to do?’ asked David in wonder. He was worried that Bruno would lose control and do something bad for the married couple. David couldn’t bear it, even though they were mean to him.

“Ah, good-looking Mr. police officer,” said the madam in a coquettish manner. Bruno actually felt disgusted, but he still smiled. Bruno stepped into the courtyard of the husband and wife and approached them.

“Bruno!” called David and then gave his subordinate a warning look. But Bruno tried to calm his boss down by giving a small nod so the boss wouldn’t have to worry.

“Police officer handsome, sir. You must be very upset with that unemployed fat pig, right? It’s not your fault that you caught him. He’s really a criminal,” she said without hesitation and without the slightest sense of guilt while glancing at David with a sinister look. David didn’t know what made this couple hate him so much.

Bruno nodded his head. What the woman in front of her didn’t know was that Bruno had been pressing the recording console on his cell phone. He again provoked this husband and wife to say unfounded accusations against his boss. Then gave a satisfied smile when he got what he wanted.

“Thank you, sir and madam. I’ve got what I wanted. Now, are you guys going to apologize to my boss? A man you just slandered? I’ve recorded all the baseless accusations you made to my boss,” Bruno said while showing the recording he had deliberately made. Bruno raised his eyebrows. Then his gaze changed.

“And let me introduce myself. I am, and all those men aren’t police officers. We are the subordinates of our great Sir that you called an unemployed fat pig.”

“NOW. Hurry and apologize to my boss. Or I will report you to the police for those baseless accusations. You don’t know what we can do to protect the honor of our boss,” he said threateningly.

The married couple’s face suddenly turned pale. What is this? What has happened?

“W-what do you mean?” she asked, still not understanding. Bruno smirked. It’s not his fault. Whoever makes his boss hurt will get what they deserve. If they humiliated his boss, then Bruno could humiliate them back. Anything he would do to make his boss’s pride not look that low in the eyes of these bad people.
