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.

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
