Chapter 27 Blacklisted.
“Ha,” Jena, one of Angelina’s many minions in the past, barked a hard laugh, arm lapping her side. It was almost as if seeing Leonica in a kindergarten after five years was some sort of funny sitcom.
After recovering from her one sided and very much unnecessary laugh, she pointed her hand at the white-ette, voice pitch high as she spoke. “Wow, it really it you, Leonica.”
The said female winced at the sound of how horrible her name sounded coming off from a high pitched voice such as Jena’s and even though she had been addressed, she kept her facial expression icy and didn’t speak.
With her silence dragging on, Jena dared to speak more.
“Really, I can’t believe I’d be meeting like this. You know, after all these years, I never thought you’d have the audacity to show your face,” There was a pause as her eyes gravitated towards the small figure beside her and she snorted. “Is that thing, your son?”
Leonica remained silent, but the principal, as old as he is, could feel the threatening aura radiating off her. Quickly, he stepped forward to try and defuse the situation.
“Mrs. Benson, please calm down. Why don’t we all seat down and talk about this like... responsible adult? I’m sure we can reason something through that is fair for both parties.” He suggested.
Immediately those words left his mouth, Jena shot him a glare, clearly objecting to his suggestion. “You want me and my son, to seat down and talk with this...thing?” She eyed Leonica and her son degradingly. “Never! This bastard attacked my son and he must be punished. If not him, then his mother. But I will never allow injustice like this be done to my son by a fatherless tw-“
Before her mouths could completely utter those words, she was silenced as the harsh sound of a slap echoes in the office and her cheek stung painfully.
Eyes wide, her hand went up to her reddened cheek, as she slowly turned to face Leonica, who was calmly glancing at her hand.
“You bitch,” She breathed out. “A nobody like you dare lay her hand on me!”
