CHAPTER 17: I'M PERFECTLY FINE!

IN THE LADIES' ROOM.

Maya tried to leave the restroom, to get away from Flora when Flora removed her shoes and threw them at Maya. Maya dodged them but she wasn't aiming at Maya. She was aiming at the quality doors. The doors were locked from the inside and since that was Maya's first time at the club Denaire, she had no idea how to open the doors.

Flora was coming towards her and she yelled,

"You bitch!!"

"How are you here?" Maya said, surprised.

"Are you two fucking?!" With rage in her face, Flora demanded.

Maya was terrified, but she maintained countenance.

"Answer me!!" Flora screamed as her eyes widened.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Maya said calmly.

"You're a liar and a bitch, a hypocrite and a whore!" Flora ranted.

"Flora what is happening to you?" Maya asked. She was more worried for Flora than confused.

"I'm perfectly fine," Flora yelled out of anger. This time, she was even more closer to Maya. She grabbed Maya by the neck and asked her again,

"Are you two fucking?"

"Flora let go of me," Maya said with the little breath she had in her.

"Talk you bitch! Does he know? Does he know that you come from Pine Hills?" Flora said paranoid.

Maya couldn't talk anymore, Flora's grip was so tight. She was struggling for breath before Flora let her go.

She gasped for air when Flora let her go. Then she yelled,

"You psychopathic maniac. What is wrong with you?!"

"I don't know how you did it. But in this city, there's only room for one village girl. And that's me!" Flora said defiantly.

"I'm just here for a very important reason. After that, I'll leave." Maya assured Flora.

"And that important reason includes getting the billionaire, Mr Weeks to fall in love with you?" Flora retorted.

"I did not ask him to do any of these for me. He did it on his own." Maya tried to convince Flora.

"You liar! Mr Weeks is as wretched as all the other billionaires in that room. So you can't tell me he got you all these without fucking you!"

"I swear Flora, he hasn't. Now please can we get back to the event?"

"Stop lying! Stop lying! Stop lying!!!!" Flora yelled as she grabbed Maya again this time she misses and she fell to the floor and threw up again. She was so miserable that Maya could tell that something was wrong with her,

"You're pregnant aren't you?" Maya asked curiously.

"Shut up," Flora said with the little strength she had as she panted.

"You're pregnant," Maya insisted.

Flora was angered by Maya so she stood up, went to the faucet and cleaned herself up. When she was done, she adjusted her hair, and she dressed herself up. She opened the restroom door and walked graciously back to the event to meet her husband and Mr Weeks,

"What took you so long? Are you okay?" Mr Weeks asked with concern.

Flora rolled her eyes and she answered,

"I'm alright. But let's talk about you. Are you okay?" Flora asked sarcastically.

Shortly, Maya came in trying to act like she had not encountered Flora, her former high school classmate.

"Maya, what took you so long? What happened back there." Mr Weeks asked. He was suspicious.

"I had so much to drink," Maya lied.

"Now or at the office?" Mr Weeks asked, because he knew she hasn't had any to drink yet.

"At the office," Maya lied wearing a fake smile.

"And they say men pee the longest." Mr Lin said while he and Mr Weeks burst out laughing.

"So, Mr Weeks! Who is she to you? She's so young and vibrant isn't she?" Flora dubiously asked.

"Miss Flora, can we talk?" Mr Weeks said as he looked at Mr Lin for confirmation.

"Sure Mr Wayne, it's business as usual." He said while he laughed.

Mr Lin and Maya were left on the table. It was an awkward moment of silence.

"So what's your name again?" Mr Lin asked.

"Maya, Maya hunts." She replied.

Mr Weeks took Flora forcefully by the arms, outside of the building, to the gardens,

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" He spoke to her in a gruff manner.

Flora was hurt by the way he dragged her,

"Ouch, Mr Weeks!" She groaned.

"Don't ouch me! Don't fucking do that shit right now. What the fuck were you trying to pull back there?" Mr Weeks was pissed. He argued with her in a lowered tone to avoid dragging attention towards them.

"You've added another bitch to your collection of bitches." Flora gagged. She was jealous of Maya.

"What the fuck do you want from me! A fucking explanation!? Do you want me to fucking explain why Maya is with me?"

"Stop yelling at me!"

"Then stop pissing me off!"

"You fucked her right? Every night, when you go to bed, every morning when you wake up?"

"Flora stop this! Stop this shit okay! It's just pathetic from you."

"Who am I to you, Mr Weeks. Tell me. Dit-a moi, who am I?" Flora begged Mr Weeks. She was desperate for him. She dragged his tuxedo and leaned in for a kiss,

"Flora stop this, people might see us!" Mr Weeks cried out as Flora continued kissing him.

Flora did not listen, she was intoxicated by Mr Weeks,

"Who am I? Tell me, Mr Wayne." She said as she continued kissing him on his face, and everywhere.

Mr Wayne got irritated, so he pushed her away to the floor. Flora couldn't believe that she was pushed by Mr Weeks, whom she thought was her lover.

"You pushed me?" She said while she was on the floor,

"You wanna know who, rather what you are to me? You're a fucking slut, a prostitute, a whore and my fucking booty call. Anyone that stays with you just wants to fuck you for your assets, nothing else! So stop thinking that I love you, I love your body not you!" Mr Weeks said. He regretted what he said but to him, it needed to be done.

Flora remained on the floor crying, she felt useless as before,

"Why is this happening to me?" She sobbed.

The program started and the president of the billionaires club went to the podium with his wife to address his fellow billionaires,

"Good evening everyone, how are we doing!" Mr Rogers said.

Everyone cheered as they all stroke their glass cup with their spoons gently repeatedly.

"Welcome to the billionaires club, club Denaire! As we all know my wonderful wife Tamara,"

"Good evening everyone!" Tamara said with a smile.

Everyone gave her a round of applause as she went back to her seat.

"This evening, before we start the fundraising, I would like to give a few awards to some prestigious billionaires we have amongst us."

Maya and Mr Lin were looking out for Mr Weeks and Flora,

"The first award is called, Health and Nutrition. And as we all know it will be going to Mr Wayne Weeks!"

Everyone cheered, while Maya stretched her neck to see if she could see Mr Weeks in the crowd.

"Mr Weeks? Is he here? I swear I just saw him." The president said.

Shortly, he came in rushing to have his seat,

"Oh, there he is, Mr Weeks!" The president said.

Mr Weeks was shocked as to why everyone was cheering for him. The president called him to the podium to receive his award. Maya knew something strange happened outside, but she wasn't sure.

"My goodness, Health and Nutrition! Thank you so much to these great members of this club. As my father always said, Health is Wealth. Thank you so much again." He said as he left the podium. Everyone began applauding him as he went back to his seat.

"Congratulations, Mr Wayne," Maya said as she gave him suspicious looks but decided to top it off with a smile.

"Thank you," He said as he held her hands.

Mr Lin came back to ask Mr Wayne where his wife was,

"I told her to show a little respect towards you and Maya. Then I left, I don't have any idea of her whereabouts." Mr Weeks said.

"Thank you, sir, and congratulations. I respect you so much." Mr Lin said as she left to find his wife.

"That's Flora's husband?" Maya asked surprisingly.

"What do you mean? You know her. Flora?" Mr Weeks asked confusedly.

Maya did not want to tell Mr Weeks that they were once classmates, it could jeopardize gee whole mission,

"I met her at the toilet?" She said as she took a huge gulp of her cocktail on the table,

"Is that why you took so long? Because of her." Mr Weeks asked.

"Partly, you know as a woman who's just experiencing pregnancy symptoms-" Maya was cut short by Mr Weeks.

"Pregnancy? Did you say pregnancy? Is Flora pregnant?" Mr Weeks asked in total shock.

"Yes, any problem?" Maya asked oblivious to the situation ship between Mr Weeks and Flora.

Mr Weeks' heart was racing, he started remembering what he did to Flora outside, in the gardens. He had pushed her to the floor, he feared that she could have a miscarriage. His heart started racing, he started breathing heavily, as Maya watched him. She couldn't understand why he felt that way, at the same time she did not want to ask because she feared what she might hear.
