Gisella's POV

I sat down on my chair as I glance through the note that was on my desk. "Why is she doing this? What have I done to her? " I look at Leonora who was in a rage at what was written on the note.

She groans at me. "Gisella, Why do I think that she is provoking you? "

To ease the tension in our presence, I fake a smile at her. "Nora, you think too much. It's just a letter," I smile reluctantly. "I need to go to the washroom,"

She sighs with a breath of relief. "Okay, but just to let you know that you look pale and a bit fat lately,"

These words got me in shock as I look at her. My pregnancy plump is not that visible yet because of the kind of dress I put on, my pregnancy is just twenty-one weeks old which is six months in particular and I am already looking pale?. What to do now? 

I gave her an assured smile. "I'm okay, I'll be out in a minute," I walk into the washroom leaving her muted.

With a slight splash, the tap was running and I started washing my hand. I felt a slight footstep behind me, with this I turned around meeting eye to eye with Signora Conte, Adelesia and Chiara who were smirking at me.

"Don't you feel like falling in an abyss after reading that note? "

I frown. "I don't understand what you're talking about, "

Bianca rolls her eyes in annoyance as she signals Adelesia to lock the entrance door which she did and they both stand behind me and Bianca stands at my front.

I felt a little fright race through my pulse. "What... What do you guys want to do? " I stammered.

Bianca giggles. "What can I do? I am just following orders. Grab her, " she commands. Chiara and Adelesia grab me by each arm and I struggled to free myself from their tight grip. "I just need to do what Mrs. Santoro Asked me to do in the right way,"

Viola Moretti? It has been here all along? The interview switch was her idea and she is using Bianca as her tool in destroying me? When would she ever stop? When...

I grimace. "Ain't you guys afraid that Chief publisher Russo Durante will find out? "

"Oh,  I am so scared," she spat dramatically and they all laugh. "Chief publisher is out on a call stroll," she endures me. "Just to inform you, The soundproofing of this washroom is really good, which means no one will hear you," she said with all glory in her tone.

Good heavens, that is so true. what am I going to do now? I  Sniffs. "Leonora knows that I am in here. If I don't go out, she will come to look for me."

Immediately, a tight frown erupts on Bianca's face, without a warning she grabs my hair and slams my head to the tile wall. I groan in pain as my head started bleeding. she roars in rage. "I am sick and tired of hearing your name everywhere. Gisella this, Gisella that. Since you joined this company you have been a pain in my neck and don't worry, Leonora is an idiotic adult because she can't come in even if she wants to," she laughs. "Look at your soft beautiful face like the one of a vixen," she touches my face.

My two-arm was pinned to the cold wall by Adelesia and Chiara. "What do you want from me?" I try to free myself but it's up to no good.

She smiles the kind that reaches here ear. "Ain't you so pretty and naive!" she brought out her mobile phone and the next thing I know, she snaps me with the flash shows. "No wonder Mr. Santoro and Mr. Caruso are over you," she hisses as I look deep at her. "Good for nothing, how dare you stare at me like that," she slaps me immediately.

I flinched. The look on Chiara's face was a plain sigh of pity as she murmurs. "Team leader, how about we let it go? if  anything happens to her then we'll be in big trouble."

She groans with a muster face. "What are you scared of? she is nobody, I will specifically hit her in places no one would see. She won't dare to tell anyone that I beat her a little," She smiles and tugs my hair from the side. "I will teach you a very good lesson that you will never forget. A mistress is just like a rag the wealthy steps on and everybody is wanting their feet to look neat before passing on,"

I felt faint. "I am not anyone's mistress, Viola is lying to you," I whimpered.

she groans and punches me on my stomach hard and I gasp in pain. She pushes me inside the female toilet with the force she used, I landed on the floor with great force.

"Team leader, what are you doing? you are going too far. What are you going to do?" Chiara voices out with fear plastered on her face.

"You'll understand later. Just watch the show and chill," she says and bangs the door locking it from the outside.

I stand up and started pulling on the knot but it was locked from the outside. I bang on the door and yelled for help, but suddenly, they throw water from the other female toilet that was closer to the one I was locked in the water spilled on me. "Just stay there till you realize how to hide in public," Bianca spats with mockery in her voice. "I'll let you out when you have finish realizing, but only if I remember," She added as the footsteps in the washroom went faint.

Gisella went out without taking her phone or bag with her? where has she gone to? When did she leave the washroom that I didn't see her? it's almost closing hour. Leonora says in between thoughts waiting for Gisella in the office. "I'll wait for her."

A few hours later

Chiara walks up to Bianca Conte who was busy arranging her stuff to leave the office. "Team leader, you really want to leave Gisella alone in the toilet?"

Bianca frowns. "Why? I've been congratulated by Mrs. Santoro for this, I even sent her the picture I snapped and she will be sending us some cash tomorrow. So, don't bother to care about her. After a while, the cleaner will see her in there and free her," she smirks and carried her bag and walks away, Chiara follows her.
