Chapter 6. {Humiliated}

"They're phenomenal...I would love to take a look at your designs I think I'm tripping for it already" Mr Graham, a multimillionaire who manages a five star hotel said to Jacques.

"Sure sir. I assure you wouldn't just trip but fall. I'm confident to tell you that Rory is one of the best you could get" Jacques assured with smiles. Mr Graham nodded.

"Your date seem pretty quiet. You've been doing all the talking since. I'd like to hear the angelic voice behind that face" Mr Graham said loftly while Jacques stifled a fake laugh. 

"She's my PA actually. Maya..." Jacques gave her a look. Maya smiles nervously.

"Hello Mr Graham...I'm Amaya White" She stretches her palm out for a handshake forcing a smile.

"Franklin Graham. Nice to meet you beauty" They shook hands and Mr Graham surprised her by kissing the back of her palm. She actually felt disgusted by that and that triggered the tickling sensation she has been feeling in her throat. Mr Graham smiled at her showing his fake gold teeth and Maya tried as hard as she could to compose herself from throwing up on his ugly face.

He let go of her hand finally and she place it on her chest trying to calm herself down.

"How about lunch tomorrow at my hotel...so we could discuss more about this wonderful design I'm seeing" He gestured to Maya's dress throwing nasty flirty faces at her. Maya couldn't help but feel more nauseated the more he does that.

"That would be great Mr Graham. Thanks for the kind offer, sir" Jacques replied.

 "Umm...I'm just gonna excuse myself real quick" Maya said. She could already feel it coming out and it wouldn't be good if she let it out right there.

"What do you mean? you can't go" Jacques whispered to her.

"I just need a little moment. I promise to come back sir. I'll be back!" She turned to rush out of there but a hand pulled her back by the waist. Her eyes widened and a gasp escaped from her mouth. But it seems that was such a stupid mistake because immediately she let out the gasp, a really loud blech followed out directly at his face. 

She belched so loud that people standing a few metres away from them could hear. Every attention drift to her and she could see their mockery faces laughing at her. But as if that wasn't enough, the smell that came out of her mouth accompanying the belching was worse than that of a rotten egg. 

Mr Graham's hand left her waist with his face all scrunched up. She just bleched directly on his face.

 Everyone scruched their face including Jacques. He couldn't help but cover his nose at the malodor.

Now, embarrassment was an understatement for what she felt at that particular time. She looked left and right only to see all attention on her.

Not knowing what else to do in that situation, she resorted to the first thing that comes to mind.

She closed her eyes and within a twinkle of an eye, Maya fell to the floor passing out.

Gasps erupted and Jacques facepalmed.

"Maya!" He gritted.

Jacques stopped his car in front of Maya's apartment, not bothering to turn the engine off. Tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, he waited for almost a minute expecting her to open the door and get out but there was no movements from her. He was forced to look over to her and was surprised to find her eyes still closed. 

"Why don't you stop already? I think you've done enough" He said quite pissed off. Earlier when she had pretended to faint just to avoid embarrassment, Jacques actually had to carry her in his arms out of the exhibition. He dropped her in the car and she kept her eyes tightly shut throughout. The drive home was awfully quiet also cause neither of them said a word and Maya didn't open her eyes also.

"Hey! Until when are you gonna pull that stunt of yours? Get off right now!" He nudges her but what he got as response was nothing but shock. Maya started snoring.

He creased his brow.

"Aren't you taking this too far?" He asked but only got a snore as response.

"If you don't stop this now then I'm taking 30 percent out of your salary" He warned but still the same. 

"Hey!!!" He yelled but that made her only adjust herself well on her seat. She seems to have dozed off while pretending to have fainted.

Jacques scoffed unbelievably.

"This woman gotta be kidding me!" He gritted. He pressed on the car horn, hardly making a resonating blare emerge. Maya jerked from her seat that instant. Her eyes roamed every corner of the environment she's in and it finally landed on her fuming boss.

"Mr...Mr Jacques.." She blinked repeatedly.

"Did you had a sound sleep Miss White?" He said sarcastically.

"Ohh..I..." She looked away cleaning her drool.

"Get off"

"Sir?"

"We'll talk about what you did and what right punishment you deserve tomorrow" He said plainly.

"Yes Sir" she took in her lower lip and opened the door.

"Disgrace of a woman" He muttered as she went out but Maya heard. Those words sting her like needle but she decided to let it go. It's not her first time hearing such hurtful remarks from her boss.

"Good night Mr Jacques" She bid him making a bow but he ignored her and drove off instead.

"Hope you have the opposite" She muttered hatefully glaring at his retreating car.

Amaya sauntered into her house, on turning on the light she gasped at the sight she met. Her apartment was tidied up and was sparkling clean. She walked over to the kitchen, no unwashed plates and even on opening the fridge it was full of different delicious side dishes and healthy drinks, even Beers.

Her mother must have dropped by. She isn't surprised, Her single mother has always shown up unannounced at least twice a month to do this for her. She's blessed to have a mother who cares. 

Amaya took out two cans of beer and dish out some meat before settling in the living room. She sighs as she chew on the meat which soothes her mouth.

"As expected...Mom is the best" She moans.

Taking her bag, she brought out her phone and made a call. The person picked at the third ring.

"What demon possessed you this time, you laid flat in front of all?" A voice came at the other end immediately the call was picked. Seems its already on the news. She sighs.

"Demortification" Maya replied taking another meat into her mouth with the toothpick.

"Is that even a word?" Donna asked at the other end.

"It could become one"

"So much for someone who graduated from one of the best college. I'm ashamed of you in place of your momma"

"Where are you? It's noisy" Maya asked.

"Club" The voice replied simply.

"You must be out of your mind"

"My boss chased me out. Two days ago"

"You got fired!!!"
