I want you all to myself

I don't care if they sack me or not after all my salary came a week of my resumption. One by one I looked at each and every one wondering why they are giving murderous look. Some sneered spatting on themselves not me and some wondered why I'm challenging him.

"Miss Scarlett I know you're scared of errors, don't worry you're good at it, Miss Cleopatra specifically wants you to be her designer" he said without minding my response.

"Mr Brownstone, with due respect sir, I still stand by my word, I'm not sure I will. If you keep on insisting I be the one to make her dress I will rather submit my resignation letter." I said neither happy nor angry. I heard a lot of whispering from everyone and I'm sure they're cursing me for challenging him and standing up for myself. I heard no one had ever questioned his authority so who am I to summon up such courage? I looked at him and he was looking at me as well frowning. He snapped his fingers ordering them to stop muttering before responding me.

"This meeting is over, Scarlett to my office now" he said and left to his office angrily banging hard the hall door.

"Scarlett do you have an idea what you've done? What is wrong with you? Are you sick? Do you have any problem with Mr Brownstone?" Miss Donna inquired.

"Go and meet him and apologize for speaking out of thorns, tell him you didn't mean it, Miss Donna added patting my back.

"You're so dead Scarlett,who do you think you're?"

"Who gave you the rights to challenge Mr Browns?"

"What's the color of your problem? you should have accepted and ask us to help you"

"Village people are real, chai!!! All I can see is sack! sack!! sack!!!"

"Babe you've got guts,tell me who's your god? I really need to see your mentor because babe you are so good at standing your ground."

"You're a demon in disguise, you want our bonuses this month to be deducted right? I'm sure you knew about this. No wonder you applied red lipstick to cause us problems."

"I detest you seriously devil incarnate "

"I didn't like you right from the beginning since you joined the firm, I don't know why you got direct employment anyways."

"Who knows if she has a bigger shot backing her up"

"Who knows who she has been getting down with."

I slammed the table so they could stop already. I packed my books leaving the meeting room to his office. I opened and entered watching him stared at the outstretch of the city from his window. I stood there without saying anything but rather got myself busy with my cell phone. I let him took his time carefully.

"Scarlett!!!"

I heard him called but he didn't turn around. His voice sounded gloomy. He sighed and sat on the chair.

"Scarlett!! He called and this time a bit gentler.

"Tell me you didn't mean what you said Scarl, tell me the drama out there was only for fun, tell me you don't want to resign"

"You should have that in mind sir,I mean every bit of what I said, Miss Cleopatra should understand or better still some one else should be her designer"

"but why? Why are you doing this?"

"you're my boss and your duty is to sack and ushered notice of services not needed anymore to anybody so I urged you sir to just bear with me today. I'm going to submit my resignation letter before the close of work, here isn't comfortable for me anymore"

" why are you doing this to me Scarlett" he said half crying and my heart skipped and hurting but then I can't just let him toiled continually with me"

"I'm sorry Scarlett if it's because of the lady earlier, she's my ex and I ... "

" why are you telling me sir? you are only been nice to me without saying anything, do you know how hard .... it's of no use telling you after all there's a reunion between you too."

"Mr Brown I appreciate your kindness towards me, I appreciate you giving me this job and even the apartment but I can't continue working here since I will be seeing more of you, I want peace of mind, I want drama free life. I'm young enough for this sir."

I looked at him seeing how changed his mood was, he focused his attention on me before asking me to do as I wish. I said okay and was about exiting his office when I heard him say....

"I love you long enough for you to see,just know if you submit the resignation letter I'm not going to approve it until you pay for all the resources and time consuming with securing you a spot.

I really love you and it's just the truth. If there's a place left in your heart to forgive then forgive me, I know I haven't ask you officially but I have that in mind and I've been waiting patiently to know if you like me before striking my move, I want you all to myself I've got and desired only you."
