I’ll Feed You From My Mouth
Brigitta resumed work at Wesson’s corporation the following day. She was working as a translator, her job was to translate works of the company to Arabic and Chinese as Wesson’s Cooperation had many asian and Arabic countries as partners.
She had received a message earlier to bring her first translated work to the assistant manager of her department, Mr. Eugeny. So as soon as she was done, she stood and began to walk away from her office. She had not been to Mr. Eugeny’s office before but the description of the route to the office was well described to her. She soon got before an office and knocked, “come in quickly, what’s the update?”
Update? Brigitta twisted the knob of the door nonetheless and on entering, the translated documents in her hand fell and fear gripped her heart. The man seated at the big chair looked exactly like her vegetative husband at home. The resemblance was so close that it made her scared. It was as if she was seeing a twin version of her new husband.
Is this the assistant manager? Brigitta thought and before she could say a word, the door opened and another man walked in. This man was Ottar.
He looked at Brigitta strangely and said, “miss. What are you doing here?”
“I’m a new staff here and I was asked to submit my translated documents to the assistant Manager’s office.” She said and quickly bent to pick the documents that fell off her hand.
“You are mistaken. You entered the wrong office. The assistant Manager’s office is two rooms away from here,” Ottar said.
“Oh my days! I’m so sorry,” she apologized with a bow and quickly sped out.
The man seated on the chair had been expecting Ottar but to his dissapointment, a clumsy woman walked in.
“Fire her!” He declared.
“Got it, boss.” Ottar said and went to sit before him, “Mr. Ubba, we have intensified our investigation but we have still not been able to find out that woman from that night. She probably isn’t in the city anymore.”
“I took advantage of her, I must find her and make up for my sins,” Ubba said.
“We’ll keep working on it.” Ottar added, “And sir, how about your new wife? Has she ran away like other women yet?” Ottar was Ubba’s office assistant. Ubba was only a stage name he used to mystify and keep himself a secret particularly from his evil family.
While his family believed he’s a useless and vegetative man that was paralyzed to the bed, they had no idea he was the most powerful and the wealthiest man in the continent. His actual name was Ragnar Marshall. It was supposed to be Ragnar Wigglesworth but he took that surname away from his name a long time ago and replaced his surname with his mother’s father name.
How can he use the surname of the family that destroyed him and everything he loves?
“Not yet. You may leave.” Ubba said. Ottar stood at once and walked away.
Brigitta was now before the office of the assistant manager. She felt ashamed of herself. Why in the world would she make such mistake? Now that she read the description of the office sent to her, she realized that she had truly made a mistake. But even more, she was troubled that at how close in resemblance that man in that office is to her husband at home.
She submitted the file in the assistant Manager’s office and returned to her desk. She then asked one of her colleagues about the office she entered.
“What! No common staff had ever entered that office, that’s the CEO’s office.”
CEO’s office? Brigitta was shocked to the gut. So that man seated the office she mistakenly entered was the CEO? All of a sudden, the assistant director, Mr. Eugeny walked up to her table and said, “miss. Brigitta, have this.”
Brigitta collected the letter and was shocked to see the content of the letter. She had been fired! Just like that? Was she cursed? Why was she getting fired everywhere?
“Actually, you are to leave the building immediately!” Mr. Eugeny said.
Brigitta felt embarrassed, she carried her luggage and walked out with a heart full of agony. She soon took a cab back to Ragnar’s house where she cried the entire day. Getting a job in a company like Wesson’s Cooperation is many people’s dream but she fucked it up on her first day at work.
Her phone then rang and seeing that it was Mr. Ivan, the butler, she answered it at once, “the time to feed Mr. Ragnar is almost passed. Please don’t let me remind you next time.”
“I’m so sorry… Will get to it now,” Brigitta stood at once with tears streaming down her face. Having checked the type of food he was to take this night, she quickly ran to the kitchen, prepared it and took it to his room.
When she saw his face, she felt goosebumps around her body. Isn’t this the same man she stumbled across at the office she mistakenly entered in Wesson’s Cooperation today?. Why do they look so much alike? It was probably just a wierd resemblance. She decided to ask the butler if Mr. Ragnar was a twin. She then walked to his side and placed the tray on the small table beside the bed gently.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
She had prepared dumplings for him, she then got a spoonful and tried to feed him but he wouldn’t even open his mouth talkless of eating it. She tried again and again but his teeth remained clenched together. It was his attempt to frustrate her.
“I was already unfortunate today at work, don’t make this harder for me!” She said as she dropped the spoon back to the tray frustratingly. She looked at his cute face and said, “Mr. Ragnar, why don’t you want to eat? If you don’t eat, you will die. Did you want to die?”
She knew he can not talk but she hoped he would be able to hear her. The butler had warned her not to ever touch him again so trying to force his mouth open isn’t an option.
She picked up her phone and browsed about how to feed a man with a conversion disorder. There was only one method she had not tried out amidst all the options listed and that was mouth to mouth feeding method.
“Mr. Ragnar, forgive me but I’ll have to feed you from my mouth,” she said and took a spoonful to her mouth then began to move her mouth closer to his. All of a sudden…
