☆ Maya and the revengeful Bee ☆
The numerous alarms hidden at every corner of her room rang out as usual sending her back to life from her temporary death.
“Arggh. Why is the night so short!” She groaned sitting up the bed grudgingly holding her banging head at two same time. beholding one of the most hideous sight ever. Her mascara washed down gave her the perfect panda look. Drool on both sides of her lips, her tousled hair sticks out giving her the complete lunatic look also. She yawns loudly but that was impeded when the memories of the other night replayed in her mind. A silly smile crept to her lips and within seconds it turns to a guffaw. She guffawed for some moments but then stop.
“Let’s just die” She fell back to the bed covering herself whole with the duvet. The alarms continues ringing furiously adding to her problems.
“JUST SHUT UP MOTHERF**KER!!!” She lashed out angrily.
RORY’S WEARS.
“Amaya…oh my God! You’re finally here!” Ophelia exclaimed immediately Maya arrived at the office.
“Ophie…Hi. The boss?”
“He’s in. He apparently came earlier than expected” Ophelia replied.
“Oh dear. What do we do with you? He’s not gonna sack you is he?” Rana asked joining them.
“What’s his mood?” Maya asked instead.
“Can’t say for sure. It’s hard to know what he’s thinking” Ophie shook her head. Maya sighs out.
“You’ll be fine dear. Good luck” Rana pats her.
“I’ll brew his coffee first. Whatever fate awaits me in there I’m ready to embrace it” She said to them before leaving to the pantry.
“What to do…I feel bad for her” Rana pouted.
“But never knew Maya held so much hatred for boss. I mean we all hate him that’s obvious but I don’t think it’s to the point of wishing him dead” Ophie said.
“You’re right. Has she been enduring it all along? I wonder what her outcome is gonna be.”
“We’ll know soon enough”
***
Maya exhales deeply before knocking on the door.
“Come in” she could hear his voice from within.
“Don’t fret Maya. The worst he could do is yell at you and fire you. What’s done is done. No needs for regrets…you can always find a better job yeah.” She assured herself before opening the door. Slowly, she went in.
“Good morning Mr Jacques” She greeted dropping the mug of hot coffee on his desk. Jacques didn’t look up from his system. His fingers continue tapping on the keypad furiously and his eyes stuck on it.
“Here is your coffee Sir” She said politely getting his attention. Jacques sighs and stopped working on the system then he took the mug on coffee bringing the tip to his lips. But then instead of having a sip, he smirks and withdraw the mug from his mouth.
“What assurance do I have that this is safe to drink?” He creased a brow.
“I wouldn’t possibly poison you openly like this?” She retorts but regretted doing that immediately. Now isn’t the time to be talking back at him.
“I…I mean_”
“You wouldn’t poisoned…but you could do many other foul things. Like spitting or spiking it. After all I’m a jerky d!ck someone wished to just disappear” He jeered. Maya suck in her lower lip.
“Mr Jacques_”
“Maya…how long have you been working with me?” He asked curtly.
Maya let out an unnoticed frustrated sigh. She had expected this and she’s possible it ain’t surely not gonna end well. She can see where it’s going already.
“Five…five years Sir” She replied with her head down.
“Five years?” He trailed.
“That’s not a short period of time. You’re probably the longest worker I’ve had so far, aren’t you?”
“Apparently so sir”
“Hmm…so my most trusted employee actually held this long lasting hatred for me and I never knew. I was quite baffled last night.” He paused. She sighs.
“Slander, Assault, Harassment, Image damaging, Emotional damage, Physical and mental damage, Calumny…attempted murder wow…this is not a joke. You’re one unbelievable criminal Miss Amaya White” He stated pointing at her. Maya’s mouth went hanging for some moments.
“You are saying I committed all those crimes you listed out?” She raised a brow.
“Three sole witnesses and a video tape as a back up. You think I made it all up?” He asked arrogantly, She scoffs. Is this a joke or what? Her boss must be completely deranged…she thought.
“Inner peace. Inner peace…” She muttered inwardly.
“So I thought hard and long about it last night…why does it have to be so? I don’t think I’ve ever done wrong to deserve such ill feelings. I’ve always been pratical and logical. I treat all my employee fairly and never cheated them. So why…would you in God’s name harbor such malicious thoughts over me? I just can’t understand it”
“Mr Jacques i_”
“I don’t need your explanations. None of your excuses right now can justify your actions last night” He interrupted her. Maya just couldn’t stop sighing.
“Are you going to fire me?” She slowly asked.
“Firing you is a waste and a loss on my side” He replied rather simply.
“Then…you’re gonna sue me?” She asked nervously.
“Do I have any reason not to press charges against you Miss Amaya White?” He quizzed but she could only bit her lower lip.
“Must you…really do that?” She forced herself to ask.
“I never said I’m going to” He replied sending relief down her nerves. She breathes in and rubs her sweaty palms together.
“What are you planning to do then?”
“That…should be known by me alone. You kept hating me a secret for five years so why should I tell you about my plans?”
“But Sir_”
He threw an envelope at her which she caught.
“Work on that ASAP. I want it released before noon” He ordered.
“What’s_”
“Leave. I’ll call you when I need you” He dismissed her facing the system back.
“But what about_” She sighs, bowed and left the office.
“How was it?”
“Did he yell at you? Did he flipped the papers at you?? Did he hit you? Or HE FIRED YOU!!!” Rana bombard her with questions as soon as she got out out his office.
“Why aren’t you talking? Did he really fire you?” Ophie quizzed also.
“I rather he did at least that” Maya muttered dryly.
“What do you mean?”
“Whatever he’s planning…one thing is for sure. Guys I’m done for”
“Uh?”
“Continue with work ” She pats Rana’s shoulder then walk away from them to her seat.
“I don’t think he fired her” Rana said.
“Why didn’t he? That’s quite strange” ophie thought out loud.

“Yeah I saw it just now. Of course…thanks a lot Amma. You’re a life saver love you best muah!” Donna said over the phone then end the call.
Instead of staying at home grieving, she had decided to just come back to work. Of course that doesn’t mean she’s just gonna forget what happened to her, but now she have to get back on her feet so as to know what next step to take. As expected, she got yelled at by her boss and was even threatened to be sacked but luckily for her, Amaya just sent her some exclusives which could save her from losing her job.
“Okay…should we get to work” She smiles straightening her knuckles.
DORA’S MANSION.
“Where’s she?” Donna asked one of the maids as she made her way inside the house.
“Miss, Madame isn’t receiving any visitors at the moment. How about coming back later?” The maid replied with trembled voice.
“And since when did I became a visitor in my father’s house? Where is she? Where is Dora?”
“Madame isn’t feeling too well right now. How about I inform her first then you can_”
“Move!” Halsey shoved the maid aside and march over Dora’s room.
“Miss! Miss!! Ugh!” The maid groaned exasperatedly dabbing her face.
Halsey approach Dora’s room with hesitant strides. She knocked on the door twice and Dora’s voice boomed out.
“GET LOST I DON’T WANNA SEE ANYBODY!!” she yelled from within. Halsey exhales and put her palm on the door knob. She twisted it and pushed it open.
“I SAID I DON’T WAN_UGHH!!” Dora’s gasped loudly on seeing her.
“Darling? Oh my God!” She quickly covers herself up with the quilt and arrange her hair.
Halsey looks at the shocked Dora then over to the sweaty guy beside her on the bed. As expected it was really what she predicted.
“How much younger is he this time? How many rounds was he able to give you? How was it? Was he able to quench that massive sexual thirst of yours?” Halsey asked with a blank face.
“Umm dear…you should have called if you are coming. You just can’t show up suddenly and cause a ruckus like this” Dora said.
“Who is she doll?” The guy beside her on the bed asked.
“My daughter. She just came back from the state. She’s seven years younger than you” Dora whispers to the guy.
“Ahh…really? Nice to meet you beauty. I’m Lucas…Lucas Montego” He smiles at her.
“This…is my father’s house and that’s…is your matrimony bed Dora. How could you sleep with some rascal on it? Have you no shame?”
“First, it’s my husband house, second, it was our matrimony bed but he’s long gone now so all that are useless. And last, I’m your mother learn how to regard me. Have you no respect?” Dora retorts which got Halsey shaking her head in disappointment.
“What did I expect from a mother like you. Absolutely nothing. You’re a disgrace to womanhood and motherhood!”
“You don’t talk to your mother like that”
“I’m gonna tell Jacques about this!”
“Don’t you dare!” Dora warned back with glowering eyes.
“Seeing how your expression is, you must be afraid of him after all. Imagine what he’d do, once he found out his most hated stepmother is bringing in different dogs to warm her bed?”
“Halsey!”
“Continue your fun..I shall take my leave now” Before Dora could turned say anything, she turned her back and walked out of there.
RORY’S WEARS COMPANY.
Halsey walked over to the elevator and pressed on the open button. After waiting for some moments, it opens and she walked in pressing the floor number she’s going. The elevator began closing but before it could close completely a hand slid in stopping it.
“Gary?” Halsey exclaimed on seeing him.
“Oh! Halsey?” He called in surprise also.
“Here to see big bro?” She asked.
“Yeah. You too?” He asked also.
“Apparently” She smiles.
HOURS LATER.
~SHARE HOLDER BOARD MEETING ROOM~
Jacques walked into the room and all murmuring died down.
Every where became like a graveyard swallowing every noise. Jacques had a menacing look on. The fact that they called for a sudden board meeting surely means they’re here to discuss something that is absolutely illogical.
“What’s the matter this time? The company is doing well and the new designs are getting out of stock almost every hours Million of proposals are coming in for new project also. So why exactly do you have to hold this meeting suddenly?” He quizzed sternly.
“We are all aware the company is trying to stay well. But come to think of it , because of the incident last time things are not as good as it supposed to” Mr Coles, one of the major shareholder said.
“But we managed to scale it through. Why bring it up now?”
“GLAMOROUS WEARS the one responsible for plagiarizing the design and releasing before us has just been arrested for keeping the comopany slush fund. A size and seizure was operated on the company and right now as we speak I can tell you the company is on the verge of bankruptcy”
“So? Do I have to be informed of this?”
“You know this is not about you alone. You made a great mistake once_”
“Which I amended”
“You only looked for an alternative”
“Just why on earth are we having this meeting?”
“To relieve you from your position”
“What?” He asked shocked but that turn to a laugh.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Mr Jacques. We deliberated about this already you’re still have so many things to learn about this company. And we personally think you don’t fit right in that position you are in right now. Why don’t you step down for now and let the person more capable to take over.”
“Are you being serious right now? Who brought this idea? I SAID WHO!!”
“I did” A feminine voice replied from the door and all eyes turned at her.
“I brought the idea. And we talked about this well before organizing this meeting. I’m more suitable to be inthat seat so son, I think it’s best you rest for now” Dora said coming in fully.
“You? Hey what the hell do you think you’re doing?”
“If you can’t agree we can take a vote. I think that would be better.”
“Why do I have to do that? Why exactly are you even here! What right do you have to do that?”
“She owns 50% of the company’ shares. She has every right to the position” Mr Dave, another shareholder replied.
“How…how is that possible?”
“So how about we take the votes now. We should settle this fast.”
“Alright. I’ve heard but before you take the votes I’ll like to say something” he paused.
“Listen. I’ve been managing this company ever since I was twenty one. It took me good eight years to bring it to where it is today. It’s normal to have setbacks. It happens every time. the main thing is knowing how to stand on your feet even after what happening. Though the project I’ve been working on for months was taken away I was able to birthed out another within few days. Isn’t that enough prove to show how competent I am. But instead you wanna relive me and put her? Her?? She can’t even manage herself, how do you want someone like her to manage a whole company?”
“I get it that you’re sad and angry but I won’t tolerate you speaking such malicious words to me. I care for this company in as much as you do. Even more than yseu could ever do?” Dora retorts.
“Sure. But listen. I won’t ever give up the CEO position to any leech who’s just gonna ruin it more”
“What are you insinuating Mr Jacques?”
“Why don’t you bring out your phone and look at the headlines” he rolled his eyes while all brought out their Phones.
“GLAMOROUS WEARS CEO SAMUEL PHILIP’S SLUSH FUNDS FOUND OUT”
“DD’S DARK PAST REVEALED. DD REPORTED TO HAVE TERMINATED SEVEN ABORTIONS IN TWO YEARS”
“DD HAD A LAPAROSCOPE SURGERY FIVE YEARS AGO”
“MODEL DD BECAME BARREN AT THE AGE OF THIRTY NINE”
Gasps erupts from the men in the house as they all sees this. Her jaw dropped at the moment also.
“What do you think? Should we continue with the voting?” Jacques asked. Dora scroll her phone checking the mean comments she’s getting already not minding the meeting anymore.
“She had seven abortions in less than two years!”
“Wombless model”
“She dates younger man.”
“I can’t believe her seriously!!”
“She removed her womb?? Shocking!!”
“Is she crazy!!”
“I don’t think we have more to discuss about this so I’ll see you again”Mr Cole stood up walking out but Dora rushed to him.
“No…you can’t do this? We still haven’t voted!!”
“I’m sorry Mrs Dickens but I don’t think I can help you this time” Mr Cole said leaving the room.
“Mr Cole! mr COLE!!!” Dora shouted like a lunatic and one by one the other shareholders started leaving one after the other.
“No…no you can’t do this!! You can’t!!!”
“Oh dear, what a twist. Be careful on your way out, you wouldn’t want the reporters tearing out your instetine as well” He smugly said and walk out of the room in smiles.
Jacques walked into his office majestically smiling to himself probably contented with what he just did. Maya only followed behind silently like an obedient ram.
“I feel good” He chuckled to himself while Maya just watch him. He must really feel so good after the stunt he pulled out there. Sometimes, her boss could be really heartless and revengeful which explains why she loathes him.
“Trying to take over what’s mine uh? Let’s see you try” He smirked and brought his hands to his neck to loosen his tie but then changed his mind when his eyes caught Maya which stood saying nothing.
“You do it” He said to her and Maya looks at him as if he just grew two heads.
“Excuse_”
“I said do it. As my PA isn’t this part of your job? Or must I tell you before you know what to do?” He chided.
“What’s with him suddenly…he never ask me to do this before” Maya thought within.
“I…I’ll just do it you don’t need to grumble over a li_”” She stopped when he glared at her.
“I’ll do it” She clears her throat, steps forward and brought her hands forward to his tie. He was taller so she had to stretched her hands at full length. Jacques saw this and decided to taunt her. He raised his chest higher earning a glare from her.
“Can you…stand right please?” She requested slowly.
“How? Like this?” He stood on his toes making him more tall. This made the tie slip from her hands.
“Mr Jacques” She called
“What? Go on…are you gonna use the whole day unknoting a tie?”
“Well I can’t if you keep standing on your toes” She said back.
“I feel comfortable standing like this. Go on I don’t have all day” He retorts and she sighs out. She also stood on her toes taking the tie. She began unknotting but Jacques wasn’t done with her. He intentionally steps back and this action made her lose her balance.
“Ah!” She gasped falling but directly into his arms, her head landed on his broad chest with her palms whilst his arms also wrapped around her waist impulsively.
“Thumb…thumb” She listened to his beating heart and smile unknowingly. They remained like that with either of them making no attempts to pull away.
“I think I’ve figured out what to do with you” He mumbled after some moments and this got her raise up her head to him.
Jacques gave her a coy smile whilst she gave him the confused look. But before she could knew what was happening, he brought his face closer leaving little space between them.
Their breathes fan and she could swear she shivers into his touch. Now it was the thumb sound of her heart she was hearing. She couldn’t even move an inch neither blink her eyes. Her gaze remained glued to him and his irresistible features which was so close to her awakening the crazy hormones of hers.
“Pleasure me” He whispers getting her off guard and at the same time, his hands travelled down from her waist to her butt getting her eyes widened.
“And I’ll forget everything”
