Chapter 1 RELIEF

Maya had just woken up,the thoughts of resigning from her workplace didn't even let her sleep till her usual time.

She was trapped between feeling anxious about what her final day at SLAYTHEORY was going to be ,what her life was about to become and excitement that she was finally going to be free from hell.

Hell?? Yess

Her workplace was hell!!😭

Well,it was all going to be over today and nothing on God's earth was going to change Maya's mind.

For a split second,she realized she might have changed her mind if there was somebody to share what was going on in that hell of an office with .

Her mind jilted to Collete but No

She knew how bad of a confidant Collette could be,she wouldn't want to be on the news few minutes after telling her what was bothering her.

Even a parrot will judge Collete for her wide and loud mouth.

Maya quickly headed to the shower,she didn't want to arrive late to work on her" big day".

She didn't think resignation should be her reason for reporting late today.

She already prepared her clothes the previous night, let's just hope her indecisive self doesn't make her change her mind now.

She took a final glance at all she had laid out on the bed,from her skincare products to the deodorants and perfumes ,her cosmetics and finally,her dress and new pair of heels .

Perfect!! She exclaimed and headed into the bathroom .

*************

Facing the mirror with her about to be glammed up face,she was trying so hard to picture what the facial expression of her supervisor will be when she broke the news of her resignation to her.

Mrs.Cassie was such a nice woman, Maya just happened to meet her in the wrong place and she was certainly going to miss her smiley face and her little tip offs when Maya did a great Job.

She often brought food for Maya on days she had spare time to cook before coming to the office.

She was more like the mother she didn't have.

A thousand memories suddenly flooded her head in a split second.

Tears were already rolling down her eyes before she caught herself midway.

"This is not the time for this" Maya screamed to the person in the mirror.

She took her wipes, cleaned her face and started her makeup.

She wanted something alluring,yet simple.

She was going to do away with her signature look for today

**************************

Good Morning Miss Maya,Good Morning Miss Maya

Good Morning Natalie, replied Maya absenctmindedly

She really forgot that she was the one Natalie was greeting when she did.

When she got to the door of her office,she took a really deep breathe before she walked in

My bad,I think my precautionary measures came too early,Mrs. Cassie hasn't even reported for work yet .

She took few of her stuffs from the cabinet and stuffed them without any arrangement into her bag

She left the office with the intention of dropping a message for Mrs. Cassie with Natalie at the receptionist hall before proceeding for her business of the day but immediately got carried away by the noise in front of her office and she walked towards there to know what was going on.

She was still a staff by right till her resignation letter was attended to.

She then discovered that one of the customers was bickering with the cleaner for accidentally spilling water on her new pair of sneakers.

She immediately tried to calm the woman's nerves and apologize for the misunderstanding.

The woman then complimented her dress and they laughed casually about it.

Maya said in her mind (some of you just want to make a mountain out of a moll hill all the time).

*************************************************

" Come in" Mr.Damian responded to the knock on his door.

Maya quickly breathed in and out,put on a very stern face and entered the office.

He looked up to see who it was and he smiled, What brings my dear Maya to my office this morning?

Is there a problem?

I heard you went to resolve an issue at the Sneaker store earlier

Good Morning Sir, there was a little conflict between a customer and the cleaner but it was quickly resolved.

Alright, that's good to know.

Sir,I am here to submit my resignation letter.

Mr. Damian raised his head up ,stared at Maya for a while and continued with what he was doing
