21- Old Job

Mariyah made her way down the streets, she wanted to cry but she couldn't, once she got home she told Yuri every since thing that happened and Yuri told her it was a good choice, then her mind went to Max, he seemed like a good guy. She sat in her room just staring out the windows, she didn't know breaking up would have this effect on her. Then someone knocked on her door.

She opened and saw Devin, "What now?" she asked him, she wasn't in the mood for any nonsense. "I want to talk to you." he said as she smiled. Mariyah just pointed to the couch, telling him he could come in. Devin walked in happily, he sat down in the couch and started talking immediately."Devonte's just likes to act out of impulse, I tried to tell him not to do anything that would ruin your relationship but he said he hadn't been touched in a while so you know that was the result." , "I'm not in the mood to know any freakin thing about him okay, he's just my boss nothing more." she said, her voice just normal almost like she felt nothing. "He's still your boss?" Devin asked quite shocked. "Actually.... he isn't I'll go back to working at the restaurant. He should get another PA." she said and picked up a book. "I understand Mariyah but-" , "No buts, I've made my decision, it affects me not you." she said. Devin was shocked, this girl who normally didn't react to stuff had been acting like a maniac ever since what she saw. "What about that dude Max?" he queried , he needed to know if she had lost feeling for Devonte. "He's just a good friend." she said and smiled. NO! She smiled at the mention of his name , this wasn't good. "Okay then Mariyah, I'll tell him you resigned." Devin said and left her apartment.

The next day was a dreadful one, Mariyah went back to her old job at the restaurant, Max was there when she walked in, he noticed how sad she was and he knew it was because of that dude. "Sorry about what happened." he said and made his way towards her. "You warned me Max, I should've listened I was just so stubborn for no reason." she said and Max hugged her. "Well.. you're here now." he said with a big smile on his face, he was extremely happy that she was back.

Meanwhile at Devonte's mansion.... "You're a really really bad person, she's hurt and all you're doing is making out with other women." Devin screamed, irritated. "She broke up with me, not me breaking up with her, it was her choice. " he said like he didn't care. "Well thank you for giving me a chance, I'm going to make my move." , Devonte nearly choked on the wine he was drinking , he looked at Devin, his eyes were fierce, if looks could kill , Devin would be dead by now. "She's still mine bro, she'll come back to me sooner or later." he said as he glared at his brother. "You think to highly of yourself. Anyways, she told me that I should tell you she's resigning so.. yep she has gone back to work at the restaurant with Max." Devin blurted out with a smirk before he left the room.
