Chapter 8-Argument

There arrived at Mortem and he still held her hand nd pulled her all the way to his office. "You think you can escape me just like that?" he said with a smirk. "I didn't know plus I'm sorry." she said while trying to hide her anger. "Sorry does nothing." he snapped back. "I've been trying to do my best and work but you've been shouting at me, just making me feel like I don't belong here.So why wouldn't I get another job?" she released her anger. "Oh really.. you just worked for one f****** day." he shouted at her. "Well I'm tired okay! I'm tired of this s***,you're just treating me like crap." she replied giving him the same energy, "Mariyah you seem to have grown some balls." he chuckled, an evil one. "I actually don't need to work here so you know what I resign, thank you so much but I'll be going to my real workplace now." she said and with that she left without looking back .

(Devonte's POV)

Resign? Did she really just resign , all the anger left his heart, and then he realised how hard he had been on her, he suddenly felt a weird feeling, he couldn't express it , all he knew was that that girl must be his PA. "Davis" he said and at once a man appeared out of nowhere, "What should I do now?" he asked him. "Well...just talk to her sir." the formally dressed man replied. "I can't talk to her anymore, not after what I've done.", he said clearly in deep thought. "Then give her a gift.", "A gift I see.."

(Mariyah's POV)

She had already gone back to work and apologized for suddenly disappearing, the day went well and she got 40 dollars that day! She was beaming with a smile as she made her way to her small apartment.

Upon arrival, something felt off , she felt like someone was following her but she ignored that feeling since it was quite obvious that nobody was doing that . She entered her house , had her bath and got into her PJ's when she heard a knock, she opened it and found a man holding a box. "A gift from Mr.Devonte." he said. Devonte? Why was he giving her a gift. She looked at the red box and took it from his hand. "He'll pick you up at 8pm tomorrow for the ball." Ball? She was going to a ball?

As soon as the man left the house she started at the box wondering what was going to be in it, her curiosity got the best of her and she opened the box just to find a purple dress, it was made from Lusta , the most expensive fashion brand, the dress was designed with different sequins and Mariyah couldn't help but open her mouth, she was shocked at this beauty in front of her no words could come out of her mouth , she couldn't help but to think why he would give her this after she resigned.
