I want you to fire her
“What are you saying Liya? You know that none of that happened.” Jude said to Liya and stood up.
“I am just saying it as it is. After all, I met you both in this room. Isn't that right or am I lying now?” Liya asked them.
“You must be angry that I didn't believe you. Is that why you are trying to put it on Maya?” Jude said angrily for the first time.
“Yes, that’s why. I am angry! I am very angry that you don't even believe your wife. Don't I have the right to be angry now?” she shouted and Jude's eyes widened. Liya hadn't spoken to him in that manner before so he was so shocked.
“Why are you shouting? Do you want me to call the staff to send you away from here?” Maya said and Jude held up his hand to shut her up.
“That's okay now Maya. You can leave and check on your injuries from earlier in a clinic okay?” he dismissed her and she clenched her fists in anger.
“But Jude…” she tried to talk and he looked at her which made her keep quiet.
Liya looked at what was going on and then nodded her head. It took just a threat to make Jude turn away from Maya. She must be so upset about it.
Maya picked up her things and walked out of the room after slamming the door loudly.
“This is a hotel door. You wouldn't want to break it:” Liya shouted which surprised even her. She was more of a person who listened more than talk.
“I never knew that you couldn't talk so much,” Jude said when Maya was out of sight.
“I am merely saying the facts. Did I talk too much and piss you off? If I did then I apologize.” Liya said to him and he suddenly held her hand tightly and shook them.
“That's how you are right? Why are you pretending to be naive and nice? Who do you think you are fooling with all that? You are the one who did it right? It was you. I knew it! Why did I even think that it was Maya for a second?!” Jude asked her and tightened his hold on her wrist.
“Leave my wrist alone. It hurts! It hurts!” she shouted in pain and he left it as if it was lava. She looked at her wrist which had a bruise on it already.
“I am sorry. I didn't mean to hold it so tightly. You just won't tell the truth if I don't do that. I don't know what you will get from lying like this.” Jude still blamed her and she closed her eyes so she couldn't calm down.
“Firstly, you are not sorry. Don't ever think of doing what you just did to me again. I have been quiet doesn't mean that I don't know what's going on. If you don't want to believe me then fine but don't accuse me.” Liya said bitterly to him.
“Don’t even try to make yourself look pitiful. You accused Maya and now it's wrong for me to do the same thing to you?”
“She accused me of doing that to her first and I only defended myself because you believed her right away. You didn't even want to know if I did it or not,” she said to him.
“Why are you here? Do you want us to keep talking back and forth?”
“As j said earlier, I am here to fetch you. Let's go back home or do you want to spend the night here?”I asked him and he clenched his fists.
She wanted to make him feel the way she felt when he talked so rudely to her and it looked like it was working.
“You just pretend to be nice in from of my mother right? Look at the way you are talking to your husband.” he sneered at her and took a threatening step towards her. She moved back repulsively.
“Pretend? I don't do that. I am merely talking to you the same way you talk to me. How does it feel?” she asked him as she held her chin.
“You don't have the right to talk to me in that manner,” he said while holding her chin tightly.
“Are you going to hit me then or if as your wife I don't have the right then is it Maya that does?” she asked him boldly and he left her chin shakily.
“What are you saying? Are you trying to imply something?” He asked and she smiled forcefully.
“You just held me as if you wanted to hit me so I just said that.”
“I am not going to hit you! Why do you keep thinking about the negative things first?” He snapped at her and she jumped.
“Then don’t make it seem like you would. What were you and Maya discussing about?” She asked him to see if he was going to come clean.
“She was just defending herself and telling me that she never harmed herself. That’s all.”
“And what did you reply to her with? Do you also believe what she said?”
“I can’t just believe what you said because there is no proof so yes I believe her.” He replied honestly to her and she nodded.
“Then if I prove that she was the one that did it will you fire her?” Liya asked him and his eyes widened.
“What is this woman talking about now?” He thought while looking at Liya.
“What did you just say? You know that she is also a big part of the company. I can’t just fire her like that.” He gave an excuse and Liya was already expecting something like that.
“If I prove that she is the one that harmed herself then you will have to fire her. You can always change your secretary. That’s not a big deal.” Liya said to him.
