y said as I chuckled. "You always tell me that almost everyday Mary, and you know I'm really beginning to disbelieve you" I giggled "Well that's the truth" Mary said Just then,,,,

earable so I spoke up. "What happened Miss O?" I broke the silence She breathed heavily and deeply before shaking her head. "You know you're my best dancer here in the bar right?" She asked as I nodded my head in agreement. Still lost in thought........ "Whatever happens Meria... I want you to know that I will never want to hurt you" She said as she forced a smile. My anxiety grew the more as she spoke. "Miss O you're scaring me! What's happening???" I asked anxiously My palms was already sweaty. "Here...." She handed two envelopes to me.

Anger burnt through me as I stormed out of the office not even minding the fact that Miss O was calling me. Why can't that guy let me be? I was on my way out when I met Nadia laughing at me in mockery. I bowed my head in shame. "I overheard it all.... You're fired!" She mocked "Move aside Nadia" I said trying to control myself. She clapped her hands in a gossip manner as she walked around me laughing. "That's what you get for crossing my path..... So finally you're gone" She rejoiced "Don't be too sure Nadia....
