Chapter 10
Amy wanted to scream but the hand covered her mouth in a quick pace, she calmed and tried to look at the person’s face, seeing that this person was callan, she pushed him away angrily, “why did you drawl me here?” She walked out of the dark space and shot him a disgusting look. “Don‘t pretend like you don‘t miss me,” Callan smirked. “Disgusting. After six years, did you still think I‘ll not have get over what happened?” She asked. “It‘s not my fault that you are barren,” Carren scoffed,” and… your pretense about Broderick being your hubby is just a joke, you think I don‘t know? Broderick and I are childhood friends and we use to be best of friends but over the years, we have grown apart and are not in good terms anymore. Nevertheless, I still know many things about him. You of all people can never be Broderick‘s taste,” Callan said. “Either I’m his tast e or not, can I know why you are concerned? You are with your secretary already and I hope you have m arried her and she has given birth to countless children for you, you disgusting peice of shit…” Amy said, feeling like slapping him. He was her ex loving husband who betrayed her heartlessly yet he still has the face to be appearing before her. “As long as you are in NorthHill, do you think you will be able to avoid me? I‘m that powerful,” Callan bragged. “What‘s your purposeise exactly? Why are you here? Cause it semed to me like you are the on finding it hard to move on,” Amy said. “We use to work together in my company, there is still a chance cause sooner or later, Bro deric will fire you. He fires people carelessly and you won‘t be an exemption, so take on the offer now and come to work for me,” Callan said. Amy looked at him from head to toe disgustingly and cursed,” to hell with you and your damned company.” She turned but Callan stretch his hand to grab her, she was quick to yank her hand to escape his grip as his t ouch disgust her so much. However, another hand held her second hand. She turned and saw Broderick holding her hand but not in a rough way, it‘s gentle and she felt his warmness. She didn‘t understand why he held her but she began to walk away with him
without saying any word. Amy was happy that this happened at the right time, Callan who beleived that she would never be his taste Broderick‘s will now see for himself. Once they both appeared at his office, his g rip tightened on her small hand that she felt like her bone was going to break, she winced in pain wondering why he suddenly gripped his hand so tight whereas he has been gentle all along. He left her hand and she let out a heavy sigh of relie f but the part of her hand that he held tight had changed color as a result of how he tightened his grip around it. Nevertheless , she was relieved that he let go of her arms, NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Patience, woman!” He said, standing still before her. “Bonnie informed me that you might spend hours at the conference room, this was why I decided to show up there,” Amy said.
Broderick turned from her and went to sit, what he said next almost made her fall to the ground, “you are fired,”
What did she do wrong? Her heart sunk into a pit of sadness and she didn‘t know whether to plead or even if t he pleading will work. “Please, I don‘t want to loose this job. I shouldn‘t have showed up there, I really ne ed this job, I‘m so sorry. I‘ll be patient next time.” “Didn‘t you want to resign from your work prior? Now I‘ m giving you the chance to leave. Why are you begging?” He asked, his aura filled with peril making the time inside the room stand still.
Amy‘s mouth shook and she quickly walked towards the table and said,” please, sir. I really need the mo ney.” “So you will do anything to get the money?” He asked, Amy understood the sarcasm in his words a nd quickly objected, “not anything but I will work harder and try not to offend you anymore.” Why was this woman pretending? She was so desperate to get closer to him, desperate for money and she was here
pretending like she wouldn‘t do anything for money. She must be really smart. “Get out of my office and n ever return,” he declared and placed a call across, “Get someone in my office out now.” Amy knew that h e had called the securities to take her out, if they meet her here, they would be so rough with her and sh e doesn‘t want that. She walked out quickly and soon arrived outside of the building. Tears find it‘s way down her cheeks, why was she gettin g unfortunate again and again. She should have just waited for hours inside the office rather than loose t his high paying job. She felt very devastated. But it was impossible for her to understand Broderick, first he wouldn‘t let her resign, then he promoted her as though she was finding favour with him then all of a sudden, fire her again. He was indeed a psycho and a very mean an d heartless one. She turned back to the very big and magnificent building and cried as the thought of the fact that she may not be able to enter this place again filled her heart. Won‘t her children be dissapointed if they couldn‘t commence school eventually by the end of the month? Callan‘s prediction was right, he had said that Broderick would fire her and he did just that, there was no point staying aroun d the company, she needs to go home now and think of what next to do with her life. She walked towards where she could get a cab and before she could enter, one of her colleague at work ran towards her, “Amy!” Amy turned and when t he lady finally got before her, she asked,” you look sad, have you been fired?” Although she and the lady standing before were were colleagues, they have never spoken before. Why does she suddenly act conc erned. Did she want to mock her? Well, even if she does, it will only be for today,
The lady‘s face droppes into that of sadness and she said,” I‘m so sorry….so sorry! I really hope you get a better job.”
Chapter iu You Arelied “Thank you,” Amy said. “Can I have your number, I‘ll also let you know of I get any job oppo Amy gave her the mobile number she was using. “Thank you,” the lady said and walked away. Amy sighe unknown number and she thought that it was probably the lady who was calling her. But when she answered the call, she heard a male voice on the other
end,” Amy, how are you?” Amy knew the voice was familiar but couldn‘t recognize it,” who am I speaking w not gone home, yet he had the gut to tell her to come home. How did she even get her contact? She was and walked inside. She sat on the couch in the living room and in no time, her father was seated on the co kind gestures. Sitting on the couch inside this house was as though she was sitting on thorns. The memories of the past stungs
her like a wicked bee would do to it‘s angry prey.
