The doorbell rang so loud disturbing Luca's peaceful sleep, he reluctantly stood up from the bed;
" Oh God! Who is that ringing that doorbell? I'm not expecting anyone, even if I am expecting someone, not this early. Wait, the only person who comes to my house this early is that cleaner, but she knows the code to the door. God! Heaven will make a loss today if I find out she's the one ringing that bell; she will tell me if she has amnesia and has suddenly forgotten the code." He said angrily, and stormed out of the room thinking it was Catherine at the door.
He walked hurriedly through the stairs, and went straight to the door;
" Good morning sir." The young lady at the door greeted them immediately after he opened the door.
" Who are you, and what are you doing in my house? Who let you in the first place?" Luca asked, looking around.
" One of your guards did, my mom called him before I got here." The lady explained.
" I don't get it, young lady, what are you doing in my house? I don't welcome beggars in here, so I don't know who your mother is or how she got my guard's contact; that guy should just consider himself jobless already because I don't know why he would allow a poverty-stricken bitch like you in here. I ask for the last time before I call the cops on you, who are you?" Luca asked angrily.
" Well, my name is Pearl, I'm... ... ... ... ... ... ..."
" I didn't ask for your name because there's nothing I want to do with that piece of information. Just go straight to the point and tell me who you are because I'm losing it already, and trust me, you wouldn't want me to unleash my anger on you. First, you disrupted my sleep, and now you're acting all dumb just to answer a simple question?" Luca said furiously, interrupting Pearl.
" Well, I was about to tell you who I am before you interrupted me rudely," Pearl said firmly, sounding angry.
" Wait a minute, did you just call me rude? You walked into my house, and the next word that comes out of that poverty-stricken mouth of yours is 'rude'. Are you mentally deranged?" Luca said furiously.
" I told my mum that it was a bad idea coming here in the first place, I told her that there was no way I could tolerate the rubbish she tolerates from you. I've heard a lot about you Mr. Rich, Arrogant, Mean, and Condescending Boss. My mum was right anyway, can you imagine? Already trying to boss me around even when I haven't started working with him. Just you so know, my mum is Catherine, I'm sure that name doesn't ring a bell, I even doubt if you know the name of your workers because I learnt that you don't address your workers by their names, you address them by what they do for you, for example, you always call my mum 'cleaner'. Anyways, she had a minor accident yesterday, on her way back from work, here obviously. She has been trying to reach out to you, but you've been ignoring her calls; she sent me here to come stand in for her till she gets better or, let's say, back on her feet." Pearl said firmly, looking at Luca with contempt.
" Wow! It's your audacity for me, you know? You walked into my house to insult me telling me how you've heard so much about me from that gossip you call a mother. So she asked to come stand in for her without informing me first?." Luca said, looking so angry.
" I'm sure you're not deaf; you can hear clearly because the last time I checked, my mum never included that in your personality traits to me. Why did you omit the part where I said she has been calling you, but you've been ignoring her calls," Pearl said rudely.
" Oh my God! This girl is mentally deranged, you're sick in the brain. Do you know who I am? Nobody talks when I'm talking, and nobody dares talk back at me; even your good-for-nothing mother wouldn't even dare me. But here you are, on my doorstep after disrupting my peaceful sleep, still spewing nonsense out of your mouth. Do you dare challenge me? I'm sure you have an idea of what I'm capable of, obviously, you don't because if you do, you wouldn't mess with me, even your mother who sent you here knows how terrible of a person that I am, and I'm sure that she must have warned you, but you wanna show that you are a heroine, right? Well done, mummy's warrior. But you know what, I won't do anything nasty to you because I woke up from the better side of the bed even though your poverty-stricken self disrupted my sleep; in other words, I'll let this slide. So leave my house, go and tell your mother that she's fired, her services are no longer needed. So, get out of my house!" Luca yelled.
" Finally, my mum will have peace of mind, and nobody will say condescending words to her anymore. I've always told her to quit this job anyway, but she kept saying she could never find a job that would pay her so well like this. She even complimented the job, saying that the pay is more than the job. Forgetting that, she's been paid so well because she works so hard and also receives insults at the end; I see that excess pay as compensation for the insults she receives alongside the job. Mr. Luca, it was nice meeting you, and finally giving you my piece of mind. Excuse me." Pearl said, turning to take her leave.
" Well, your disrespect just cost your wretched mother her well-paying job, as you called it," Luca said after her.
Soon, a car drove into the compound, flashing its lights on Pearl like a sign telling someone to wait.
" Who's this person?" Pearl thought to herself, looking confused.
" Oh God! Not again!" Luca yelled, smacking his head.
