Chapter 2 Why is that so?

Chapter two

She's nice too and I don't joke with her, 'Alright, I will tell you, 'I sit and narrate everything to her. When I was done, her mouth drops open in shock.

'Baby girl, you shouldn't have done that. This is Margay we are talking about. The huge Margray, the Almighty Margray. What gut_," she starts but I cut her off immediately.

'I ve had enough of this, 'I interrupt sharply, taking the TV remote, and power on the TV.

'Three hours ago was when it happened. According to an eyewitness, the underage attacked the driver of Dave's Margay before Dave got down from the car, 'the presenter from the TV says and stops briefly to look down at the newspaper. I use the opportunity to switch it off

'Why the hell is everyone talking about it! 'I scream again. What is wrong with people

'Baby girl, you are now popular, 'she smiles, 'Underage slash the heir to Tianshi company, 'she says and smiles dreamily.

I sigh again, 'But am not underage for crying out loud. I'm twenty-five'

'Why are you short then'

'I m short but I have an ass! I have an ass! '

'But you don't have boobs! '

Jeez! I don't believe we are having this type of conversation right now. It's getting me more upset. I sigh and walk inside my room again. I quickly close the door so Nancy wouldn't enter. I need solace.

I walk to my bed and look at the newspaper, at the picture of me standing before the strikingly rich and tall man. So, he's Dave Margay. He's so proud and arrogant. How I wish I had punched him twice.

I look at the headline again," Underage slashed at the heir of Tianshi company"

Why do these people always take everything for a joke? I can handle myself. I don't need them advertising me and making me look like a fool.

"And seriously, that lady must pay! I'm going to make sure she pays for it, 'Hey! Make sure you get everything on that lady for me tomorrow, I will make sure I deal with her."

My eyes snap open and I sigh with frustration. Why am I dreaming about this guy?

Yes, I agreed he's rich and influential but_. Well, more reason I think he would want revenge.

But gosh, he was at fault. Well, he doesn't seem to acknowledge that.

God, what am I going to do?

I don't want to go to jail, I'm still young. I have to get a job, get married, and have babies.

What should I do? I need to get Nancy. I turn to look at Nancy sleeping beside me on the bed, 'Nancy, wake up, 'I say and hit her slightly

'What! 'She yawns and tries to sleep again but I hit her buttocks and she jerks up, 'what the heck is wrong with your hand? '

'I need your help. What do you think I should do so Mr. pompous wouldn't spoil my life'

She studies me for a while and pitifully shakes her head, 'This was what I was trying to tell you earlier but you wouldn't listen. So now you want to hear? '

I nod slowly, ashamed of myself. 'I wonder what the world is turning to. How can an innocent person apologize'

'You aren't entirely innocent, you punched him you know, 'Nancy corrects annoyingly.

'Well, he shouldn't have splashed on me! 'I scream, irritated.

'Do we want to start over again? Then let me sleep, 'she said and made to lay back on the bed.

'Please am begging'.

'Good. See, there's only one solution and that's to apologize to him. I know the direction of his company. We will go there and apologize, 'Nancy says while I stare, lost in my thoughts.

This is so fucking hard.

I got up so early the second day to resume my duty of looking for a job opportunity. I wouldn't even mind being anything, I just want to get a job

When I saw the signboard requesting for a post of office. I walked inside only to be rejected.

After three rejections, I went home dejected.

It was after six when Nancy got home. When I told her about my earlier encounter, she pressured me harder to go and apologize to the arrogant son of the bitch.

So, here we are in Tianshi company to apologize for something I didn't even do wrong. I'm just not in the mood for all this.

'I m Nancy and this is Jones, 'Nancy introduces us to the secretary while I watch. I wouldn't have followed her anyways if my work isn't at stake. Seriously, I'm feeling a huge wave of anger. I wish I could hit something, smash something. Everything is so upsetting around here

The woman gives me a long stare before looking over at Nancy again, 'Do you have an appointment with him? '

'No, but he would let us in if you let him know who we are

The woman's dark lips form an irritating line, 'You mean you can just rubbish the company rules because who the heck are you? '

Nancy sighs and looks away, already frustrated, I guess

I'm more frustrated anyways and it's her fault for convincing me. I sigh noisily, 'most people need to be taught a lesson, I say a bit louder so the woman would hear.

The woman looked over at me immediately, 'Oh just like how you taught Mr. Margay a lesson? You, this bush girl!'

Seriously, I don't know what she's stressing herself for. If I punch her once, I'm sure she wouldn't want to mess with me again. I laugh at the thought and look up at her angry face.

'Did you just laugh at me! 'her furious voice has attracted our attention. I know she did it on purpose. Soon, people were already taking our pictures.

'Just because you work in a nice company doesn't make u think nice, 'I say as calm as ever, 'Imagine the secretary to a whole popular company screaming. I wonder who the bush girl is! 'I snapped at once and burst out laughing again. Nancy tug at my clothes, tiredly

I'm more than tired!

'See! 'I say defiantly, screaming the part and scaring the gossipers away for a while, 'I don't fucking care about who you are and I don't ever want to be. I'm here for something very important. I want to get that done with and I will, with or without your help! '

'Jones, come on, let go, 'Nancy whispers into my ears but I feel more determined.

'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 Jones, 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.

'Jones! 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.

Dave

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
