The next morning, Maya woke up and notice she slept alone on the bed, she wondered where Jayden could be since he didn’t come back home last night, and she wonder why she is so worried about his whereabouts.

“Why do you care, Maya? Don’t worry about him, he is old enough to take care of himself”. she said as stood up to the bathroom to freshen up.

Some hours later, the manager was attending to some influential people in the VIP lobby, she asked Maya to get them some drinks, which she obey and left to get the drinks, Angela and Becky were beside the customers attending to their needs.

” Mom, that dress looks pretty”. A young elegant lady said she was seated next to her mother and also her other sisters on the left-hand side.

” Ok, I will have it”. she said and the manager ask Angela to help her with the dress. Maya was coming with a tray of drinks, Becky saw that she was getting closer, so she stretch out her leg, Maya tiptoed and fell on the ground as the whole drink spilled on them, and they grunt surprisedly.

“Oh my gosh!” the mother yelled and the manager started apologizing to them including Maya, Angela, and Becky She Stood on one side laughing secretly.

“How dare you! Are you blind?” 1st girl yelled angrily at Maya and landed a hot slap across her face and everyone gasped and it caught some people’s attention.

“Am so sorry, it was an accident”. Maya sputtered feeling her cheek.

” You are sorry? Look at what you did to our dresses”. 2nd girl yelled at her.

“Do you know how much this dress is worth? Even if you sell all your entire property, it won’t be enough to afford the dress”. 1st girl said rudely.

” We are so sorry, it wasn’t intentional”. Ms.Queen said trying to defend Maya.

“Are you taking her side? She just embarrasses us”. The mother said.

” I know that’s why we apologize, I promise to fix it”. she said and they scoff.

“fix it? The only way we can accept your apologizes, is if you get her fired immediately”. The 2nd sister said Maya and Ms.Queen went surprised while Angela and Becky were feeling happy to hear it.

” Please I am sorry, I didn’t mean to”.Maya said sincerely as she fell on her knees begging them.

“Get her fired or we will leave and never set our feet here again”. The mother said.

” But, Mom, she already apologizes, mistakes do happen, it wasn’t intentional that she had to spill the drinks on us”.3rd sister finally spoke out politely and they stare hard at her for her to keep shut.

“Get her fired now!”. 1st girl yelled and people started to assemble around them murmuring at the sight of their stained clothes, Maya was begging and sobbing on her knees, and just then someone interrupted them from behind.

” On whose order that you have the nerve to ask my employees to be fired?”Jayden’s voice came like thunder and they grip in fear as he walk into their midst, he saw Maya on the floor with her head bowed to the ground, and he clenched his fist in anger and then help her up, he saw the tears crawling down from her eyes and the mark of five fingers across her cheek.

He turns angrily to the people bullying her and they lower their faces looking frightened. “How dare you raise your filthy hands on her? what gave you the right?!” he yelled angrily and everyone trembles in fear. including Angela and Becky who were looking surprisedly

“We are sorry Mr. Williams, she embarrasses us by spilling drinks on us”. The mother sputtered in fear.

” Is that what gave you the right to bully her? You have no right whatsoever to raise your hands on her?” he said angrily. “You know what, I am going to make all of you pay for this”. he said and they fell on their knees begging seriously.” I will make sure no one ever welcomes you to their shops or any shopping malls, you will ever think of, I am going to make your life miserable”. he threatened
