I also signed at the right corner of the same paper afterwards.
“we will call it a day. ” Liam said to them as he got up from his seat.
“OK sure. ” Mrs Wilson said excitedly.
“See you soon. ”
Liam and I got out of the room and entered the elevator.
“Can I ask something? ” Liam asked as the door get closed.
“You just did. ”
“I mean, can I ask two? ”
“You did ask two. ”
He look at me in annoyance. “Can I ask four then? ”
“You did”
“When? ”
“Now”
He looked at me and shook his head…
“Riley loves her dad. Are we going to mix get up in the mess too? ” he asked.
“Why didn’t she take her husband with her here ?”
“She said, she wanted to give this contract to her husband as anniversary gift. ”
“Well.. Let her then. ”
When I got out of the elevator, there was a chaos in the first floor.
A rich looking girl was shouting at a maid. I tried to walk past when I realised it was my mate who was getting scolded.
I went to them and tried to understand the whole situation.
She had mistakenly spilled some water on one of the rich brat and she was scolding at her.
My mate was constantly saying sorry to her but she won’t listen to her. I felt anger inside me. I felt Ray after so many days. He was so angry at this time.
I went to them, hold her hand and pulled her out of the restaurant.
“What are you doing? ” she keep asking.
“Leave me. ”
“everyone is staring at us please leave me.”
“I said leave me. ”
I didn’t leave her until I reach out of the star. I dragged her out to the place where there was no one around.
“What do you think you are doing? “she glared at me furiously.
“You’re not working here anymore. ” I answered her.
She looked at me with amazed expression.
“And why? ”
“They can’t behave with you that way ” I said.
“That’s OK. I need this job. I can tolerate this ” she said looking down.
“But I can’t ” I blurted out.
“Why? Why does it matter to you? I’m not your employee anymore. ” she said looking into my eye.
“Am I not your mate too? ” I said in my head.
“You aren’t working here. ”
“Then where should I work then ? ” she asked “Do you want me to go this and that companies and apply for the work? ” she asked coldly.
“I own many companies. ”
“Ohh please. I’ve worked there. I don’t get any respect there. Here I’m also counted. “she said ” Remember? You were the one to make me fired. ”
I looked at her and I can feel her pain.
” You’ll work for me not here or anywhere. ” I repeated myself once more.
“Never….. ” she shouted as she strode inside the restaurant.
Liam was looking at me for before . He slowly come to me without making sounds.
“What now? ” he asked.
“She will work for me.”
I went up to my Mercedes without thinking much. Liam was enough to handle this kind of work.
Riley’s pov
He came inside and directly went to the kitchen . I drank a glass of water. How could he drag me out like that?
What does he think of me? I’m not a doll? What if he’s rich?
I felt anger… A lot of anger inside me. How could he do this to me. How embarrassing was it to come here just now?
And why did he want me to work with him again? Didn’t I work there before ? Wasn’t he the one who asked me to such a difficult task so that I can leave his company.
What happened now?
I was thinking about Mr Gold when. The manager barged in to the kitchen.
“Riley? ” he looked at me.
“Come to my office. ”
I nodded him and followed him behind to his office.
He asked me to sat down there.
He then said the star restaurant, they had done some recheck at the restaurant’s account and it was going down instead if up.
And so they decided to lessen the unnecessary things and staffs too.
As he said staffs I had already guessed what he was trying to say. I feel my feet going cold…
“So we’ve decided to fire you. ” he said with a apologetic look on his face.
I smiled at him and said nothing. I couldn’t do anything here even if I want.
I was fired. I got out of the office and went to the kitchen to collect my rest of the things.
When I was done I went up to the counter.
The manager was also there. He was smiling at me but I know deep inside he was sad.
He asked the counter girl to clear my financial account.
So did she. Then she gave me a check . I took it and came out of the star. I looked at this once last time.
When I came out, I saw the white Mercedes still parking out there. I know my expell has something to do with him. He was the one behind all these. But I don’t know why he was he suddenly asking me to work with him.
I walk past the Mercedes as if I hadn’t seen it.
He came behind me but I kinda ignored him.
I went to the main road and sat inside a cab to avoid him and came back to my apartment…
When I arrived the apartment, I lied down the bed and think about what to do next. I was living in my best friends apartment. Even though I used to pay some of the bills nowadays still the apartment was his.
And now I lost my well paying job. I scratched my head.
I don’t know what to do now. I hadn’t much saving to pay Me Gold. I don’t want to give in to him and work under him again.
The next few days, I tried to avoid everyone. I used to get up early and make breakfast for everyone and went back to bed. O won’t be around on the table most of the time.
Camila and the others know about everything. So they didn’t asked me to wake up either.
I would shut them up when they tried to cheer me up.
As for Mr Gold I didn’t talk to him either. I used to make food as I said and then leave the kitchen. He came in first day and maybe felt awkward to eat with others so he went out without eating .
After that day I used to pack his food in a box and leave it before his room each day.
I will put the food there and ring the bell. At the morning and also at night.
I was still mad at him. So I don’t wanna go in front of him.
Camila, Jason and Ethan thought I was so depressed and tried to cheer me up so many times. They would come to my bed and talk to me about this and that but I would never respond to them. Eventually they let me be. They thought maybe giving me some space was best for now.
But I wasn’t depressed at all. It was just that I don’t want to give in to Mr Gold. I know he was rich. Working with him can help me a lot financially .
But something inside me don’t want to work under him. I don’t want to give in to him. I never felt the need to fulfill my stupid desire before.
I starter to look jobs online. I searched here and there to find job. Cleaner, kitchen helper, receptionist, shop assistant, anything. I was ready to anything but not with Mr Gold.
I even get out of house after a few days and moved one shop to another in search of job……
I asked each and every tiny shops but I wasn’t getting my hand in any job. It seemed like someone had done some sort of black magic.
I looked for all sort of jobs almost a week. O was getting tired of these no. I was tired of all the excuses they made..
I really felt furious but I couldn’t do anything to anyone. It was all because of that Mr Gold. I don’t know why rich people treat is as toy. Whatever you want, you want it here and when you are full of it then throw it away.
He was really trying to do the same thing with me. If he wanted me to work there he could’ve let me work while I was there. Why was all this fuss about.
