The cheek of those girls became red dye to the slap.
The anger of the manager didn’t seem to decrease.
“Get out. ” He yelled hysterically.
The girls gulped in fear. They didn’t utter a sound anymore. They begin to move out of the scene.
“Wait” Mr Gold spoke.
The girls death froze on their way.
“Did you forget something… Manager? ” Mr Gold walked towards the manager with an cold aura.
“What? ” he tried to neglect Mr golds words “Since they had got their punishment, let it go now. ”
“Let go? I think we made a deal before we watch the footage. Did you forget? ” Mr gold moved closer to him.
“Let it go since they got punished…. ”
“A slap isn’t a punishment. You gave me your words to fire them and let them say sorry to her, if they were guilty. ” Mr Gold moved around the manager in circle.
“Can’t you… ”
“No. ” Mr Gold cut him off in the middle of his talk.
The manager looked at the girls. I don’t why he wasn’t doing as he said. But he hesitated to fire them.
“What if I don’t…. “the manager said pressing his lips tightly.
“You know what can happen.. ” Mr gold smiled.
The manager closed his eyes before he shouted “Go on your knee and say sorry to him. ”
The girls looked at each other but no-one came forward to say sorry .
“Don’t you hear, what I said? ” The manager shouted again.
The girls shook on fear before they came to their knees .
“No… Not to me. To her ” Mr Gold pointed to me.
I felt so awkward when the girls come to their knee in front of me. They all said sorry at once before their manager fired them.
Mr gold paid all the money for the items we bought. I didn’t deny either.
When we were done keeping those things on car, I felt tired. We just bought a lot of things.
“Isn’t there any good restaurant nearby? ” Mr Gold asked.
“Why? ”
“It’s already late to go and cook. We better eat out today. ” he said as he scanned the surrounding.
“There is a good one. ” I thought of my place at the next corner where I and Camila used to go in our school days.
“Lets go. ” he hopped inside the car.
I got inside as well and take him to the small restaurant.
I thought he’d say something bad about the place but thankfully he didn’t.
We got inside the table and the grandma come to take our orders .
“What is there for breakfast grandma? ” I asked excitedly.
“Will scrambled egg and frencin toast do? ” she asked.
I nodded “I’ll do for me. ” I looked at Mr gold.
“Me too get some juice too. ” he said.
Granny smiled and went to her kitchen.
“It feels like… ”
“We’re home. ” I completed his sentence. It really felt like home to me rather than a restaurant.
He smiled at me and said nothing more.
We finished our breakfast soon and get back to our apartment.
Willis’s pov
She is carrying a few bags while most of them is carried by me. We just had our breakfast somewhere in a small restaurant. She seemed to be regular customer there.
The granny there was super friendly.
We’re at the door of her apartment.
I pressed the door bell and waited there. The stuffs we bought today were just so much.
As the door opened I felt disgust inside me. There was non other than Jason there.
His smile also vanished from his face as he saw me there at the doorway.
But he moved his face towards Riley and said “Why didn’t you take any of us with you? ” he seemed concerned and a bit angered at my mate.
I felt anger being surged up as he talk to her that way. I, her mate was just here and he was showing his love in front of me.
I gave the whole things in my hand to him. As pulled the things from Riley before I went inside.
I put those things at the fridge one by one.
Camila and Ethan was in the kitchen making themselves breakfast.
Ethan chuckled as he saw me putting the foods in the kitchen. I glared at him and he stopped.
After a while my mate came to kitchen with the rest stuffs and put them to the fridge.
“I’m leaving. ” I don’t know why but I said to Riley before I came out of kitchen.
Jason was still at the door as if he was waiting for me to come.
“You aren’t her boss anymore. Don’t treat her as if your maid. ” he said as I past through him.
“She owes me and she’s cooking for me to pay it off. ”
“But she can’t even if she do this lifetime. ” he said furiously. I can feel his anger in his words.
I didn’t answer him instead smiled at him.
He look more annoyed and to be honest I enjoyed that.
“I’ll pay whatever she owes you. Just leave her alone. ” he said.
I looked at him and saw his determination in his eyes. He looked serious at his words.
“You think I care for that money? ” I smirked at him as I leave the apartment.
I went in my room and sat in the sofa. He seemed so determined about the words he said. If he was to pay the money, I won’t have my mate around.
I felt anger building inside me.
In the afternoon, Liam told me I had a meeting with Mrs Wilson at the afternoon. She had just returned from her family vacation.
I asked liam to book the star for the appointment.
At the afternoon as we went to the star, Mrs Wilson, her lawyer and another girl was already waiting for us in the private room.
“Hello Mr gold, hello secretary Liam. ” they got up of their seats as we walked in.
I didn’t pay any attention to them. If possible I would have her pay for the horrible things she’d done to my mate.
“I can’t believe my luck, I’m seeing you in real. I never thought I could see you in my life let alone being offered for a huge project like that. ” she said tears twelling in her eyes.
“I’m giving you the project because I believe in your company. ”
I said looking at her happy face. I feel pity that she was falling in our trap directly.
“Ohh sure, we will do our best provide you as much as we could. ” she said.
I nodded at her statement.
“By the way Mr Gold this is my daughter Sarah Wilson ” she introduced me to the girl next to her. She was thin and tall with long hair. Her face was pretty but she had something missing there to be called beautiful.
Sarah? So she was the girl who made my mates life hell till now. Her so called sister.
There was a knock at the door as the waiter and the manager come in with some snacks and drinks with them. They served us like the last time and left the place.
It was pretty normal but Mrs Wilson and Sarah was looking at these items in bewilderment. They seemed to fascinated by the service here.
“Have something. “I asked them .
They become even happier and smiled cheekily at me.
I looked at Liam and he poured each of us some wine.
“Thank you secretary Liam. ” Sarah smiled at him.
I didn’t took the wine. They are not in place to drink or eat with me.
“Why aren’t you taking? Please take some… ” Mrs Wilson said to me.
“No I’m not I’m mood. ” I denied her offer.
“Liam. ” I looked at him.
He nodded at me and took out the papers in the table.
“Have You guys already read those samples I sent you? ” Liam asked.
They nodded with a smile.
“I have already explained the terms and conditions to you on phone. Still check the files once to see if everything is OK? ” he pushed the files towards them.
Sarah took the documents and started to read. But Mrs Wilson quickly snatches them from her . She smiled sheepishly at me.
It was as if she was saying sorry for the mistake.
People will of course believe our words. They didn’t dare to read the paper as it was if disrespectful to Golden Company.
“Our lawyer had already read the sample and explained everything to is so there is no need to read it again. ” she said with a smile.
“I’ll go ahead and sign it. ”
She take the pen from the table and signed her names at the left corner of the paper.
