Chapter 4 Pride and prejudice

What! Are you threatening me? I'm going to call the police right away, 'she rattled off, picks her phone, and was about to press whatever was on it when the telephone rings. She picks it up immediately, 'sir! Alright sir, 'she drops the call and looks at us but her look lingers more on me, 'You can go in," she whispers and her gaze falls.

I pull out my tongue at her before following Nancy through the door to Margay's office. I've never been here and I know nothing about where his office is and the goddamn secretary wouldn't even divulge such a little information. I feel like hitting her face.

Nancy knocks softly and waits. I wonder how she could be so calm when I'm eventually about to lose it

'Yes, come in, 'that voice brings back the previous incident. I got an instant desire to recoil away and accept my fate about not getting a job in the office.

We enter the spacious office, with excellent decorations. Everywhere smells of money and I must admit that for once, I feel so intimate

'Oh, you are back! 'his arrogant voice jolts me out of my silly thought and I look up at the idiot.

``We've come to apologize and ask for your forgiveness in any way we've offended you," Nancy intercedes while I just stare.

He stares at Nancy for what seems like a minute or two before looking at me, a sardonic twist to his lips, 'Doesn t she have the mouth to speak? Why are you talking for her? '.

So arrogant!

'You know it was all your fault but anyways, I'm sorry, 'I say and look away quickly

A cologne made me look forward again and I realize suddenly that Margay is before me, so close, with three inches tall. His height is intimidating and I mean it

'If you want me to forgive you, you are going to go on your kneel and kiss my shoe, 'he says casually as if he was talking about the weather

Is this guy insane?

Nancy looks at me and eyed me.

What the fuck is this! Why would I kneel before this idiot?

Well, you need to think fast. What should I do? Kneel and get a job, reject and get ruined forever.

I look up at the silly feature before me. His gorgeous eyes, his cute face, his handsome but sturdy structure. Geez, I bet he has abs.

Come on Emma, are u insane??

"What! You are afraid of being watched?" he sniffed calmly in an insulting manner, 'I never thought poor girls have pride. They always go with the flow and drool over the rich guys. I bet most of you do all you do to get our attention. Since you can never be something except with us," he says.

That's it! I've had enough of this for today.

I slap him. I decided against punching because he might not even survive it this time. I feel so angry right now.

'Emma! Nancy exclaims softly behind me but I ignore her.

"What! Poor girls don't have pride?"I feel as though I'm cooking, 'Do you think we poor girls go doing what you do? Even though you are rich, are you telling me you have pride? If you do, you wouldn't go ahead messing around and doing everything without thinking. Why are you so dumb as you look? And we don't care who you are!"I scream at him," We don't go around making ourselves known because of you. We are satisfied with our condition. I guess that will always be the difference between us, 'I hiss and turn to walk away but stop and remember the part he said, girls. Imagine people thinking am underage. Hell no! I'm twenty-five. I whirl to look at him again, 'And for your information, I'm not a girl. I'm not underage, I'm an adult! 'I say the last part so much louder than my voice could carry before marching out of his stupid nonsense office. I want him to remember that part so he will stop calling me a girl. When I walk to the secretary, I stop to look at her, 'If I ever see you on the street, I will beat you to a pulp, I promise', I say angrily

'What! 'she snorts angrily, 'Are you threatening me right now? '

I hiss, ignore her statement and walk out of the company.

I don't care. I will rather go work as the cleaner somewhere than allow that stupid man to embarrass me again.

Robert

I watch the second lady walk out of my office after apologizing for the other girl's attitude. Seriously, I'm still finding it hard to comprehend what had just happened. This lady has the gut to hit me again.

'Boss, 'Peter walks in and watches me for a while, 'Are you alright? '

I walk to my table and take a mirror, with it I look at my side cheek. Damn, it's as red as burning charcoal.

'You should teach her some lessons boss. She can't just be hitting you as she like', Peter says with huge concern

I just stare.

There's something about that girl that's making me stop what I think I should do to her. But right now, I am going to do all I can to make sure she gets it back for hitting me. Mehn, nobody lay his or her hand on me. How can that filthy girl punch me, then slap me! What effrontery does she have?

I look at Peter, 'I want you to get everything you can about her for me, 'I say and squeeze my head angrily.

'Yes sir, 'Peter murmurs before walking out.
