“You are fired”Liam declares between his teeth, emphasising a little on the fire.
Amelia was shut for words as her brain couldn’t comprehend what was going on. Did she just get fired by her boss who is also her boyfriend?
“Did you just fire me?”She was forced out, coming back to reality.
“Yes I did”He simply states making her scoff.
“I don’t understand why I’m getting fired”Amelia frowns.
“You broke my rule, so you have to face the consequences of your actions,”He explains.
“My actions!”Amelia yelled looking at him with disbelief as he sat on his chair totally unbothered by her tone.
“That bitch in there hit me first!”She curses at Claudia.
“Language!” Liam frowns.
“Oh I see , I’m not allowed to curse at her”She slapped her forehead mentally scolding herself.
“Look teddy is not like I want to do this, but I made the rule of firing anyone that fights in the office”Liam explains.
“I don’t care okay, I didn’t start the fight so why I’m I the one getting punished”Amelia utters.
“Well you are the one I saw”He chuckles slightly as she stares at him in disbelief.
“Really getting fired by my own boyfriend”She scoffs still trying to process the thought.
A smirk creep onto Liam’s lips on hearing her say the word Boyfriend.
“You will be fine”He assures her trying to look serious and not burst into laughter.
“Alright I will leave, and check up on your new girlfriend’s plastic nose when you have the time, bye!”She blurted out before leaving his office angrily leaving Liam speechless as he didn’t think she would take him seriously.

Everyone was waiting for Amelia to come out of the boss office including Claudia who was eager to hear she was fired.
“She is out,”Nina announced while pointing in Amelia’s direction.
Laila immediately rushed to meet Amelia with Mike, Nina and Miss Cynthia following her from behind.
“What happened there?”Laila questions her, a bit worried.
Amelia ignores her and bends her head down in disappointment, Laila pulls her into a hug when she notices her state.
“I guess she was fired. I’m so happy, aww she looks so pathetic”Claudia mocks Amelia from behind.
“Just shut your mouth up Claudia!”Laila snaps at her.
“It’s fine, there is no use fighting with her,”Amelia utters.
“I can’t believe the boss fired you”Miss Cynthia blurted out with a sad expression on her face.
“What’s there not to believe, she isn’t even qualified to work here let alone be his secretary”Claudia rudely remarks earning a glare from Laila.
“I will miss you Amelia, make sure you call me everyday okay”Mike tells her.
“I can’t believe you are leaving us, and I just started loving coming to work all because of you”Xavier confessed with a little groan.
Amelia giggles a little at his confession before walking towards her desk to pack her stuffs. Everyone stares at her silently as she gathers her stuff.
“Goodbye everyone I will miss you all, well mostly everyone”She waves at them glaring at Claudia a little who just rolled her eyes at her.
“Goodbye dear, even though you didn’t stay up to a month here we will forever remember you”Miss Cynthia said.
“I will always remember you guys too”She gave them a warm smile.
“Don’t leave us”Mike yells as he bursts out in tears while holding onto Laila, she consoles him by patting his back a bit as Claudia glares at them.
“I don’t understand what all this drama is for”She frowns at them.
“By the way shouldn’t you be on your way out?”She added, referring to Amelia who was still standing at her spot.
Amelia breathed out before walking up to Claudia. Everyone stared at them curious to know what was going to happen. Amelia stopped in front of Claudia face.
“Yes, can I help you?”Claudia smirks.
“I just wanna say this before I go”Amelia started, Claudia rudely interfered before she could continue.
“Go on, I don’t have all the time to waste, okay, I’m sure the boss might need something. Since he doesn’t have a secretary again I need to help him out”Claudia explains as the sinister smirk never left her lips.
“Get this straight into your thick skull the boss will never be yours, hope your tiny brain will be able to process this cause the boss will never be yours okay”Amelia firmly stated repeating the last part simultaneously making Claudia to frown.
“How dare you!”She raised her hand to slap Amelia but her hand was held by Amelia.
“Let go of my hand you bitch!”Claudia snaps at her demanding she let go of her.
“Sure”She throws her hand away.
Claudia was about to talk when Amelia landed her a tight slap on her cheek making Everyone gasp except Laila who smiles in satisfaction at Amelia ‘s action towards Claudia.
“That’s for getting me fired,”Amelia said in between her teeth before leaving Claudia speechless.
“You will pay for this Amelia!”Claudia yells while holding her cheek but Amelia is already gone.
Laila folded her arms and walked towards Claudia.
“Aww did that hurt?”She mocks Claudia.
“I don’t have your time bitch!”Claudia remarks before walking away in anger.
***
Amelia arrives at Liam’s place, She throws her bag across the room before bursting into tears.
“I can’t believe he just fired or because of that bitch”She utters as the sound of her cries fills the room.
“Why will be fired by his girlfriend all because of nobody, or she is more than a co-worker to him?”She questions as frivolous thoughts start flooding her mind.
“They are all the same, I won’t be shocked if he was cheating on me with her”She frowns at her own words and the thought of it actually being true.
“I have to leave this place”She declares as she stood up heading to her room to go pack her things.
A thought popped up in Amelia’s head making her halt at her tracks.
“But if I leave here now, where will I go too?”She mutters, coming back to reality.
She remembers how she left Andrew’s house that night and thought about ending her life which she regrets now.
The thought of her wanting to end her life for someone like Andrew haunts her in her sleep. She hopes the situation that occurred with her and Andrew won’t repeat itself as he was a thing of the past to her now, a horrible past.
“I have to make a decision on what to do”She declares to herself.
“I know what to do,”She blurted out while heading to her room.
***
Liam was on his way home when the thought of Amelia declaring Claudia as his new girlfriend replayed in his mind, making him cringe a little as he shook it off.
Liam POV
I hope my teddy didn’t take me too seriously, I could never actually fire her. I know I told her she has to face the consequence for breaking the rules but who cares I’m the one that made the rules and can eliminate it for her.
But she looks really mad when leaving, gosh I hope she doesn’t leave the house. I don’t think I will be able to survive without her.
“Gosh I need to get home quick”Liam mutters as he increases his speed rushing home.
***
“I need you to teach this girl a lesson”A woman’s voice said to some groups of men that looked like goons.
They were all smoking and had alcohol bottles littered everywhere around them. The woman’s nostrils flared at the unpleasant smell of alcohol, cigarette bunt and body sweats that settled around them.
“Can I see a picture of the girl?”A man who appears to be the leader demands.
He had a cigarette in between his lips, as he carried the picture the woman placed on the table.
“What a pretty girl”He compliments the picture of a lady who appears to be Amelia.
“I need you to teach her a lesson, scar her for life”The woman orders.
“Do you want to die?”He questions puffing smoke out.
“Don’t just teach her a lesson”She stated.
“Okay but you know it will cost you”He tells her.
“Yes I know you greedy freak, here”She tosses a bundle of notes to him.
He stares at the money with satisfaction in his eyes before looking at the woman.
“Consider your job done Miss Claudia”He smirks as Claudia walks into the light with a sinister look on her face.
“You will regret the day you ever laid your filthy hands on me Amelia”She threatens with a smirk on her face.
***
Liam arrived home, he immediately went into the house in search of Amelia.
“Amelia!”He called out but got no response from anyone which made him a bit scared.
“Amelia!”He called out again but got no response.
“Teddy, where are you!”He yells while searching the whole house for her.
“Where could she be?” Liam frowns before turning to see her in the kitchen.
“Hey”She greets not paying any glance towards him.
She turns towards his direction to see him staring at her like he had just seen a ghost.
“What?”She questions his weird stares.
“I thought you left”He finally found his voice.
“Well I wanted to, but had no other place to go”She tells him.
He frowns at her first statement but sighs in relief that she is still here.
“Why did you want to leave me?”He asked.
“Well I don’t think I have the right to stay here, so I will move out soon with the money I earned before I was fired”She manages to muster all the sarcasm in the word fired.
“Oh C’mon you can’t just leave me”He whines earning a from her.
“What reasons do I have to stay here?”She frowns, a little irritated at the fact of him acting like what transpired between them at the office never happened.
“Are you mad at me because I said you were fired?”He questions teasing her a bit but she didn’t find it funny.
“Why will I be mad at you? I mean you are the boss you can do whatever you like “She states trying not to vent her anger out on him.
“Well you are right”He smirks.
“Yeah”She firmly utters before going to serve dinner.
Liam blocked her path with his hand stretched preventing her from leaving. She squatted a little and passed under him making his eyes widen in shock.
“Teddy”He whines following her from behind.
Amelia ignores all Liam’s whines and calls out for her as she serves their dinner on the table.
“Let’s eat”She sat down and ushered him to sit, he obeys her quietly.
Few minutes later, Liam stares at Amelia scrolling through her phone ignoring his present.
Liam POV
She is really mad at me. She won’t even look at me, let alone talk to me. I mean come on I’m her boyfriend I need her attention.
Who is she even chatting with that is making her giggle this much. I tried to stretch my neck to peek at her phone a little but she yanked her phone to the other side, preventing me from looking through her phone.
Gosh I feel so jealous seeing her chat with someone else while ignoring me.
“Who are you chatting with?”Liam finally forced out.
“Xavier”She firmly stated.
Liam felt like his heart was being shattered to a tiny piece as her words echoed through his head.
Liam POV
Who the fuck is Xavier? Wait Xavier I think he might be one of my co worker. He is the one that was being all flirting and ask Amelia if she had a boyfriend at Ching’s place. Why the hell will she be talking to him!.
“Who is Xavier?”He questions just to be sure it was the right person.
“One of my former co-workers,”She utters, frowning.
“Why are you talking to him?”He frowns.
Amelia looks up to see Liam burning gaze at her.
“Why can’t I talk to him?”She ignores his question.
“Oh really, I have been here since you haven’t even looked at me let alone talked to me but you are there chatting with Dave”He complains.
“It’s Xavier”She corrects him, making him frown.
“I don’t give a damn about his name!”He snaps.
“Okay”She mutters before going back to her phone, Liam frowns at the fact she didn’t care about his outburst.
“Oh fuck this!”He curses before leaving the table.
Amelia POV
Is he mad now? I know I have been giving him the silent treatment but that is what he deserves. After firing me for something that wasn’t my fault he comes back acting like it is not a big deal. I don’t know why he even has a problem with me chatting with Xavier.
Xavier is a cool and funny guy, but that doesn’t mean I have any feelings for him or something. He is just a friend, I can never love anyone like the way I love Liam just hope he knows that.
***
Amelia and Liam have been ignoring each other for the past one hour now and it was killing Liam slowly, As he keeps using the opportunity to look at her.
Amelia POV
Hmm why isn’t he trying to get my attention? Can’t he see I’m still mad at me , gosh I don’t wanna keep ignoring him please talk to me Liam.
Liam POV
Gosh she looks so cute in that night wear, I just wanna take it off her. Gosh I’m thinking of her naked when she is still mad at me. I don’t know if I should try talking to her.
They both sat on the couch ignoring each other’s present. Amelia caught Liam staring at her but he immediately looked away making her roll her eyes.
“Should we watch a movie?”Liam finally spoke, breaking the silence that was settled around them.
“Sure,”She mutters.
Liam turns on the movie and stands as he heads towards the kitchen to get some snacks and drinks. Amelia sits silently watching the movie as Liam drops the snacks on the table beside them before sitting down a little close to her.
The movie was playing while Liam’s eyes were on Amelia as his eyes trailed down to her exposed thighs, He gulps grabbing a handful of popcorn before shoving it into his mouth.
A kissing scene came up in the movie as the tension around them was becoming worse.
Liam and Amelia’s hands reached into the bowl of chips as their hands meet. They both turned their gaze to one another and saw they were holding onto each other’s hands.
“Hmm”She mutters, not breaking the little staring contest they were having.
“Yes”Liam breathed out.
“Let go of my hand!”She yells before yanking her hand from his making some chips fly to the ground.
Liam was stunned by what just happened as he was speechless; he didn’t expect her to do that.
“I’m sorry okay teddy, please don’t be mad at me”He pleads with her.
“I’m not mad at you”She sighs.
“Oh fuck this, you are okay”He frowns.
“Come on vent your anger on me, but don’t get me the silent treatment cause it’s killing me”He confessed.
“I said I’m not mad at you”Amelia states in between her teeth.
“Come on vent your anger at me”Liam kept on pestering her as he knew she was at the verge of flaring up.
“Enough okay!”Amelia yells, making Liam smirk.
“Do you think it is funny huh?”She scoffs before standing up.
“I got fired from work by my own fucking boyfriend, for something that wasn’t even my fault”She started while pacing around the room.
“I mean do you know how much it hurts? She slapped me first but when I hit her back my own boyfriend came in and supported her actions by firing me!”Amelia barks.
“She slapped you?”Liam frowns as his eyes darken a little.
“Why do you care huh?, isn’t she your new girlfriend?”Amelia declares, making Liam frown.
“She is not my girlfriend okay!”Liam was at the verge of losing it at the thought of Claudia slapping Amelia.
“Yeah right”Amelia scoffs.
“What do you mean by that?” Liam frowns.
“I know what was happening in that company, she used to be your secretary before right so what changed?”Amelia suddenly questions him.
“Nothing okay”Liam states a bit annoyed.
“You tell me why she isn’t your secretary again, or I leave this house now!”Amelia threatens with her voice laced with seriousness.
“Fine okay”Liam sighs, giving up, Amelia nods for him to go on.
Flashback
Liam was going through some files when Claudia barged in with a scandalous outfit with a smirk on her face. Liam stared at her a bit confused on why she was staring at him while biting her lips.
“Yes can I help you?”Liam frowns.
“Oh Liam you don’t need to be cold towards me, you know you want me”She utters with a seductive tone.
“Get out now!” Liam yells at her.
“But Liam…”She started but was cut off by Liam.
“Enough I don’t wanna hear, you are fired!”He declares as his eyes darken with anger.
“I’m so sorry please don’t fire me, I’m the one my poor father has. If I lose this job I don’t think he will be able to survive”She pleads with him.
She finds mercy in the eyes of Liam due to the fact that her father reminds him of his own father’s suffering.
“Fine but you will no longer be my secretary,”He announced.
“Thanks for showing me mercy”She thanked him.
“Now leave!” Liam yells ushering her out of his office.
End of flashback.
Liam turns to see Amelia face red as she was boiling at the thought of Liam trying to seduce Liam.
“I can’t believe that bitch tried to seduce my man”She blurted out, making him laugh.
“You look so cute when angry,”He declares.
“Oh and make sure you come to work tomorrow okay”He added.
“Wait, that means I’m not fired”She doubtfully asked, receiving a nod from him in response.
“Yay”Amelia squeaks while jumping up a little.
“So do you forgive me now?”Liam smirks.
“Yes I do,”She states.
“Good”He pulls her towards him with a swift motion.
“Do you have any idea if you have been dying to take off that dress you are wearing?”He whispers in her ear, making her gulp.
“It’s gonna be a long night teddy”He stares at her with lustful eyes.
She gulps knowing what was gonna happen next as he leans down to connect their lips.
Amelia POV
I can’t wait to see that bitch face tomorrow when she sees me.
