“Good for you, if you don’t mind, I bet to take my leave”. she turns to leave, she stops as she caught sight of the manager walking in her direction. ” Oh no, I can’t let her see me and this guy together”. she said to herself and then turn to Jayden, he was caught off guard as Maya grab his hand quickly and drag to a hidden place where no one can see him.
“What are you doing?”. he asked.
“Shh, I don’t want to be seen with you, my manager is coming this way, just hide here and don’t come out”. She said quietly and walk away before Jayden could say a word.” Are you looking for someone, Ms. Queen?”. she asked.
“Oh, you are here? Um, yes, I was looking for the boss”. she said.
” The boss?”.she asked confusedly.
“Yes, the owner of this place, he came here a while ago, did you see him around here?”.
” Um, I–“she got interrupted.
“I am right here”. Jayden said as he came out of his hiding place, they turn in his direction and Maya was surprised.
” Oh, sir, what were you doing there?”.Ms. Queen asked.

” How could you do that Maya, don’t know he is the boss?”.she quarrels.
“A-am sorry ma, I didn’t know he is the boss”. she sputtered confusedly and Jayden smirked at her.
” Am so sorry sir, she is new here “. She apologizes.
” Is ok, maybe your new employee needs to get some training on how to treat people with respect”. he said.
“I will do that, please this way sir,” she said and Jayden follow her behind and he wink at her.
“Why is it that anywhere I work, he is always the boss?”. She grunts angrily.
Later in the day, Jayden came to the dining room, his meal was set on the table with maids surrounding it, he sat down and notice he was the only one eating.
” Where is Maya? Why is she not on the dining?”He asked coldly and the head maid spoke
“I called her, but she said she rather eat in her room, I have already served her meal to her”. she said and Jayden clenched his fist in anger.
” Get her here at once and don’t ever make the mistake of serving her meal in her room without my consent, understand?”.He yelled.
“Yes sir!”. They said and Andrea rushed to call Maya from her room.
Maya was in her room eating when she heard a knock on her door.
” Who is it?” she asked and Andrea’s voice came through.
“is me, Ms. Maya, the boss requests your presence at the dining”. she said.
” Why? What does he want?”.
“He wants you at the dining, please come”.
” go tell him I am not coming”.Maya said.
“Please Ms.Maya, you have to come with me, otherwise we will be in deep trouble “. she said tensely and Maya was confused.” please”.
“Ok, fine! I will be there shortly”. she replied.
” Thank you Ms.Maya”. she said as she left, Maya could sense the excitement in her voice. She stood up and left to the dining room to see Jayden’s cold look.

” Sit”. he command and Maya sat down after hesitating for a while, then he raise his hard look at her.” now listen to me, let today be the last time you will disobey my orders, if I come over to the dinner table and I didn’t see you here, you will be sorry”. he said and Maya scoff.
“Excuse you! What right do you have over me?”. she said rudely and the maids were surprised with the way she was talking back to him.” Now, you listen, you are not the boss of me and you can’t tell how I want to live here because it’s your house, you can only be my boss at work, not here”. she added and Jayden clenched his fist.
“How dare you talk back at me? do you –” he stood up angrily and Maya interrupted him rudely by standing on her feet.
“Or what, Mr. Williams? You think I am afraid of you? Never, I don’t care if you kill me or not, but me being in here with you is already torture for me “. she said angrily and turn to walk, she stop and whine as a sharp pain shot through her tummy, Jayden rushed to her quickly.
” Maya”. he called softly and held her hand.” are you okay?”.he asked and Maya continue to groan in pain, the maids were in panic. Jayden try to help her sit on the chair, but she fell on his body consciously, everyone went surprised.”Maya!
