Chapter 10 - Sadist
"Come in." A girl walked into the room with a sweet smile.
"Hello miss Leena, I am Lisa Norton". The girl shyly added. "I am a big fan of you."
"Hello, Lisa. Pleased to meet you." Leena smiled and greeted her. After a brief conversation, she guided the girl to an adjacent room for the screening. Leena always makes her clients comfortable before proceeding with their training which has helped client\'s open to their issues.
"Before I advance with your training, I need to assess your body physically and mentally" Leena voiced out. " Please don\'t get embarrassed if I am asking a personal question, it is for your own care and safety. Your information will be strictly confidential." Leena professed in a calm voice, the girl smiled and nodded in appreciation.
"Let\'s start then." Leena grasped a notepad to jot down the points.
"Are you under any medications or have you undergone any heart disease, high blood pressure? I need to know even any of your family members have suffered."Leena was looking intently into her eyes to scrutinize if the little girl is comfortable over her questions.
"I was under medications for PCOS and now my periods are regular. I have stooped taking the pills and no, my family doesn\'t have any heart risk" Lisa answered.
"What is the diet you follow every day and the reason you want to get trained?" Leena was jotting down her issues while still examining her.
"I_I_"
"Consider I am your sister little girl." Leena grasped her hand and assured. "I would never judge a person based on their preferences."
"I was being bullied for overweight at my university and I want to reduce my weight," Lisa whispered in a hushed tone gazing at the floor.
"Lisa, people who attack your self-esteem, they are aware of your potential and see you as a threat. Reducing weight alone will not stop them from bullying. Your confidence is your strength and you should fight back with the same intensity they bully you. Do you understand?"
Lisa meekly nodded.
"As per your diet, I can see you eat a lot of junk and you will be strictly monitored here. Now we will go with your physical screening. Can you slowly walk into the corner and come back here." Lisa walked into the corner and reappeared while Leena observed her every step keenly.
"You put more pressure on your left leg while walking and you have a tight hamstring over your right leg. Have you had any accident before?" Lisa\'s eyes widened in shock.
"I had an accident when I was small." Indeed she feels her right side of her body is tighter compared to the left when she does any physical activity. But how can Leena examine that in just a glance? No wonder Leena Hayes is named as fitness queen by the world. There will be no Leena Hayes for the next generations to come.
"I can sense that and I am done with your screening. We can start your training tomorrow." After discussing the terms and clause, they marched out of the room.
" Leena sister." Lisa hesitated." Can I have a selfie with you?"
"Sure."After her selfie session, Lisa walked out watching her photos with Leena and thinking of a way to design her wall.
"Do you have 5 minutes of your precious time?" Reese pressed. " Megan\'s marriage is in 2 weeks and you haven\'t approved her leave"
"Wedding! Send her in." A wicked smile plastered on Leena\'s face. I still have time for the next session. Let\'s enjoy the show.
"Don\'t you dare your little pranks and scare that poor soul Leena." Reese was getting scared of that sinister smile.
"It\'s not like I will eat her. Now shoo." Reese went out with a grumpy face cursing her.
.....
"Hello, Miss Leena" Megan greeted her sweetly.
"Oh please, Megan. Am I that scary? And I am not a professor! Call me Leena." Of course, you are a scary witch. Megan internally cursed her.
"This is my marriage invitation and my leave has been put on hold. Can you__"
"Why Marriage?" Leena asked.
"Huh?"
"Reason for your marriage?" Leena pressed.
"My parents have arranged it," Megan answered with a sweet smile.
"I can understand your situation and every parent worry over their children. But I can convince your parents and delay. What do you say?" Even though Leena was putting a stoic front she was internally laughing like a crazy idiot. I love teasing my employees. Megan knew this situation would come and her team has already prepared her. She is not going to back off from her fight
"Ummm. It\'s getting hard from my mom to do house chores. So she needs a son in law." Megan was internally cursing herself for coming up with such a thought even though they are well off.
"Make sure you dump all the utensils to your fiance and don\'t let him get utensils cleaning machine." Leena said in a deadpanned voice.
Megan was happy that she has finally accomplished her task. When she looked up, she met Leena\'s eyes in anticipation. Still, I have to give an explanation?
"My hand hurts with all the bags I have to carry when I go shopping." Megan was literally crying for her poor boyfriend. She has never made him hold a food packet at least.
"Good job. You should be the one to wear pants in your house. Next?" Leena looked into her eyes eagerly.
"My dad\'s income is not enough to appoint a servant. So he is planning to get a son in law."
"Perfect. Now you are eligible for marriage. Your leave is granted. Go for your honeymoon. Let him enjoy before the calamity strikes." Leena clapped with excitement.
Megan awkwardly smiled and dashed out of the room after her job is done while Reese was pacing in the corridor biting her nails. Megan explained the entire conversation happened over the room and Reese shocked with the events. Where does this idiot come up with all those ideas?
"Reese, I have a request," Megan whispered. Her energy is fully drained out after talking to Leena.
"What is it," Reese awkwardly asked.
"Can you not bring her to my wedding?" Megan pleaded.
"I will try my best. Now go and have some coffee. Trust me You need it after talking to her." Both nodded in understanding and parted their ways.
Reese dashed into Leena\'s office without even knocking and threw the file she was holding on the table while Leena jumped with the sudden intrusion.
"Easy Reese darling. Your frowning lines are clearly visible on your forehead and that is the reason I asked you to start facial exercises at an early age!" Leena neared to her squeezing her creased forehead.
"Sadistic woman. You clearly knew Megan is in love with his fiancé." Reese angrily swatted Leena\'s hand from her forehead.
"You know the satisfaction when she is berating her fiancé. It was a melody to my ears." Leena closed her eyes and smiled in satisfaction.
"You are not going to her marriage, Leena. Over my dead body!" Reese was having a migraine with Leena\'s sinister actions. She knew the things she would blurt out if she makes out to the marriage. Last time when Renya has come back to the office after wedding, Leena has asked to contact her if she ever fights with her husband in the future and she will take care of her in the future. The poor woman was shocked to the core and now Megan. She will not let history repeat.
"Well, I have to make sure my employee is safe." Which dress should I wear to the party? backless or ball gown?
"Why do I feel so refreshed now." Leena lazily stretched her body like a lazy cat and walked out.
" "
"Dear God! I know you are omnipresent! Please bring an equally sadistic man to tame this sadist woman on priority" Reese pleaded.
