"Call your boss", he said and it didn't only feel like an insult but it was.
She wasn't the farmer's wife but the farmer. She had built her business alone and was nobody's wife or employer. The guy in black suit at her front door clearly lived in an age where women were seen as stupid property not able to think.
"What do you want?" she asked. Her voice sounded harsh and it felt as if her eyes were like lasers piercing right through him.
Instinctively he grabbed his head with both hands and dropped the suitcase on his feet. This wasn't how he had planned it. A woman with self-esteem not following his orders was new to him. Women shouldn't act and comment but be passive and obey that was how they did it at home. The home he had left to earn high amounts of money, the money the tourists all seem to have. Amounts as high as his rent those people easily paid for a meal and some drinks.
"I don't like people who waste my time", she said as he didn't answer, "I am busy so leave before I send the dogs after you. This is private property. Rude people and intruders are not welcome".
"I asked you to call your boss", he said.
"And I told you to leave as fast as you can", she replied and whistled. "If you are too stupid to recognize who is in charge here it's wise to leave and go back to where you belong before it's too late".
"Woman", he shouted, "I told you to..." The rest of his words were lost as he ran for his life as the dogs were chasing him.
"At least he knows who is the boss now", she said while closing the door, "unless the dogs catch him before his brain can process that fact."
