Chapter 72

Meanwhile at the office:

Max arrived his office still angry.More images of his mother were flashing across his mind.

He became more angry by each passing moment.When he got to the office, his staff were standing by the door to welcome him.That was a custom but that day, it was different.

"Can you all get to work this minute!!....am not paying you to stand around,"he thundered at them even before any could greet him.They all ran to their duty post without a word.

Max strode to his elevator and got inside.He was beginning to have a headache and he was even getting more and more irritated.Even by the headache he was having!

"Welcome sir,"Monica welcomed him when he was at the last floor, where his office was located.He walked past her without responding to her.

"Sir seems to be in a bad mood,"the CEO'S secretary spoke her mind though in a low voice not to be heard by him but unfortunately....

Max heard him and turned.

"Who said that?"he barked at his personal staff members and they all fell silent.

He moved closer to them and asked again.

"I asked who said that?"he roared angrily and the young lady raised her shaky hand.

"I- it's me sir,"she responded her voice very shaky.

Who wouldn't be afraid of him at this point, his anger controlling him.

Max moved closer to her, very close that she could fell his breath on her face.

"So you heard me asking and couldn't answer until I repeated myself?"he asked her, looking even more fierce.

"A- a - am sorry sir,"she stammered her apology looking at him apologetically.

"You still are talking?..."he thundered again and the secretary fell silent.

"Monica, write her dismissal letter...you are fired!!!" he thundered and the rest gasped silently.

"And get yourself a good cologne. You stink!!"he spoke eyeing her as if she was a rag or rotten eggs or something..

He got to his office and settled on his chair behind the desk.His hand involuntarily pinched the bridge of his nose hard.

He was now beginning to feel anxious and nervous at the same time.

"I must be sick,"he spoke to himself while combing his hair backwards frustratedly with his fingers.

He remained so for very long.

Monica wrote the letter and handed it to the girl.She was crying while packing her stuff from her table.He had not only fired him but also embarrassed her before her fellow staff members.

None of the other staffs tried to help her or talk.They just looked at her sympathically but their mouths were shut.The walls were transparent and they feared that their boss will see them and fire them too.

The girl packed her stuffs and walked out of the office sobbing silently and wiping her tears with a serviette with in her hand.

**********

Three cars, drove off the parking lot at the Storms Mansion, Milady's leading out.The chief guard didn't order for the opening of the gate as they approached.And the face recognition only worked when getting inside the mansion.He wanted to see if they were being accompanied by any guards.

"What's wrong with you?"Milady asked looking at him when she lowered the dual side mirror.

When he saw that there was no guard, he remembered that the last time they sneaked away,they faced Max's wrath and he didn't want a repetition of the same.

"Am sorry mum but I can't let you go out alone.Sir Maxwell won't like it,"he spoke.

"Did I ask you whether he will like it or not?.....open the gate,"she ordered and the man couldn't defy her orders.He signalized to the other guards and the huge metallic gates slowly opened.

The drive was fun.They sped and competed on the roads driving as though they didn't know of any of the traffic rules.The cars overtook other cars on the road recklessly.

Andy kept on shouting as her sister drove so madly too, to win against the two other girls.

"OMG!!...Ammy...OMG!!!"she shouted as the drive got even worse.

"You are mad Ammy!!!...stop it!!!"she shouted even more as she swayed side to side, as the car moved.

Ammy laughed happily and shouted in joy as she was now ahead of the others.

The cars finally drove at De Beauty and Fashion Mall.It was the number one, leading mall in Gel and only the 'rich' shopped there.

The car tyres screeched loudly against the ground as they drove into the parking lot.

"Oh Lord!....OMG!!"Andy exclaimed silently breathing heavily.The sweat drops on her forehead could tell that she was really shaken by that drive. She was staring right at her sister's face, her own written shock all over.Ammy looked at her sister's side and chuckled.

"No no no...you shouldn't chuckle because that wasn't fun.It was crazy,"Andy spoke as she was catching her normal breath.

"People don't chuckle at funny stuffs baby and that wasn't crazy,"she responded.

"It was Ammy....and you might end up in jail for this,"Andy reminded her.They unfastened their seat belts and got off the car.

"Oh come on Andy....there are no sherifs nor traffic officers at this time and stop talking like some old fashioned grannies,"she responded as they walked towards the other Andy's mouth widened with surprise at her sister's words and a frown could tell her displeasure with her sister's response.She was just trying to be a good sister!!

"I won... yeeiiiy!"Ammy shouted happily when she got to where Maya and Milady were standing.

"It was your day, huh!"Maya asked raising a brow at her smiling warmly.

"When did you even learn to drive that madly?"Andy curiously asked again after a while of silence.

"Hey pretty, let's get going and stop the interrogation already,"Milady responded to Andy as she pulled her to herself and they walked towards the mall.Andy looked at the girl tugging on her arm and sighed silently not able to tell her to let go.

They were walking while chatting happily, not concentrating on their way when Ammy bumped into someone at the door.

The girl's purse fell to the floor and her things scattered.Without even looking at the girl, Ammy bent to the floor and picked her things up and packed them back to the purse.

"I am very sorry miss, I wasn't checking my way and am very sorry for that,"she apologized handing her the purse but the lady didn't pick it.

She stood staring at Ammy, her hands folded against her chest.Ammy noted her gaze, it was so sharp and despiteful.Ammy's gaze shifted from the strange girl to the ladies beside her.

Maya and Milady were looking at the girl in the same way she was looking at her and she didn't understand why.

"Hey, I said am sorry. I didn't see you coming,"Ammy decided to assume them and apologize again.

"Ofcourse you didn't see me. How can a blind lowlife brat like you see anyone?"the lady spatted.

Many of the people present were already gathered watching the scene and tension between the ladies.

"Excuse me?"Ammy responded looking at her, confused.

"You are excused miss. Next time you walk around, just watch your way and get off your pathetic hands from my expensive purse,"the lady responded and Ammy dropped the purse back on the floor and raised her hands to show that she just did.

"It seems you will never change you senseless little pathetic salamander,"Milady spoke.

"Okay..."Andy murmured looking away from the ladies, after Milady's response.Seemed the storm would be harsh!

Ammy looked at her, confusion written all over their faces.

What on earth was going on!?

The lady turned her gaze to Milady and her eyes widened with shock and some surprise.

"Ooh!...Milady, nice to meet you again.You have really grown.You are no longer the famished and wretched looking girl,"she responded smiling sarcastically and Milady returned the same smile.

"And I see that you are still as ugly looking as ever,"Milady responded still smiling at her.

The lady's smile vanished and she looked around, definitely embarrassed.

"Hey, babes it's fine. Let's get going,"Ammy spoke while leading her away.They had attracted everybody's attention at the mall and it wouldn't be good if the drama continued.

They walked away and started their shopping, their moods already altered.

"Who was that?"Andy asked when they were all shopping silently.

"The biggest blond fool you can ever come across,"Maya responded and the two sisters,Ammy and Andy exchanged glances.Such a description!

"Why was she so rude?"she again asked and Milady responded to her.

"Because she is just so senseless and insensitive. Always wanting to look out to be the best."

"You must then know her so well,"Ammy responded, checking out the shoe she was holding.

"Yeah, because she is Rayan's sister,"she responded and Ammy turned to look to her.

"Then you shouldn't have spoken to her in that manner,"she responded.

"Why not?... and there is more to it than being Rayan's sister,"Milady answered and Ammy just shrugged her shoulders.

She didn't know what that meant and she wasn't even interested either.
