BLAZING EMOTIONS : CHAPTERS 31 – 40

CHAPTER 34

UTOPIA ELEMENTARY~ 4:10PM

Francesca stood beside her car with her driver, waiting for Maxwell to suddenly show up, but he wouldn’t.

She dialled his line for the third time, but it’s still the same, he’s not picking.

“Francesca, we need to leave now, who’re you waiting for?” The driver asked.

“You won’t understand” she replied sadly and dialled Maxwell’s line again, biting her lip repeatedly, but he’s still not picking.

“But he promised me” she mumbled, and tears slipped out of her eyes.

SKYLINE CORPORATIONS

Only the sound of Maxwell’s clicking buttons could be heard as he worked on the last file with red eyes.

He’s the only one left in the office, and he hasn’t checked his phone since he started. He silenced it totally.

He yawned tiredly and checked the time. It’s past 10pm, and he hasn’t even had breakfast nor lunch or dinner.

He quickly finished up by pressing few more buttons, and he shut down the laptop.

He stood but fell back on the chair weakly, then his stomach made weird hunger noises as he stood again.

“Fk” he muttered, getting his suit from where he hung it.

The night air is chilly, seems it’s gonna rain.

He was holding his stomach with an hand as he walked out of the company, and he got a mail on his phone immediately. It’s from Jemima.

GET ME A CHOCOLATE CAKE, BRING IT TO ME BEFORE LEAVING

He sighed after reading it, then he stopped a taxi which took him to the nearest cake shop.

It was already raining before he got there, but nevertheless, he entered the rain and rushed into the shop.

He got the chocolate cake and came out into the rain again.

He was about to cross the road to the other side when a car drove roughly into the road, startling him.

His eyes were wide as he tried to avoid it, but he could only do little. He got h?t, and he fell in the middle of the road, landing in the rainwater.

“Arggh!!” A loud groan left him as his skin peeled.

The cake fell from him, but thanks to the tight packaging, it remained good.

He hurt his forehead slightly, and the bI.ood began dripping down his white shirt.

His elbows and knees got hurt too, and his right arm.

Within a minute, passerbys surrounded him.

?? Are you ok?

?? Let’s get you to the hospital

TWENTY MINUTES LATER~ JEMIMA’S MANSION

A taxi stopped in front of the house, and Maxwell came out, still stained with his own bI.ood, and his wounds are still fresh.

The rain was still pouring as he limped to the door with the cake.

He rang the doorbell, and it was Dolores who opened the door.

“Oh my gawd!!!” She screamed frightfully.

“What’s up?” Jemima asked as she descended the stairs.

Dolores stepped aside, and she came to the door.

Her eyes widened immediately she saw him, wet as fk from the rain, bI.ood still dripping out of his wounds into his white shirt, especially the one on his forehead.

“Maxwell! What the h’ll ha…

He interrupted by dropping the cake on the ground, and he faced her with a painful smile.

“I quit” he muttered and started leaving, stepping back into the rain.

“Maxwell!” Jemima rushed after him, stepping into the rain too to block him.

“Maxwell…

“I said I quit! Didn’t you hear me? I’m not worthy to be the secretary of the great Jemima Andrade-Kings.

I forged my CV? I didn’t go to college? Gawd… Did you have fun toying with me? You had fun messing with me obviously, I’ve always done my best for you throughout the three days I’ve spent as your secretary, and I was willing to do more just to make sure you don’t find fault, but what? I’m nothing?

You made me work last night and I even slept in the office only for you to call it trash, and then today I stayed till 10pm working my @ss off only for you to demand for cake when I finished working, are you even human?

I was thinking you’d consider me worthy if I continued doing all what you wanted, but now it’s clear that you’re the one who’s not worth me, you’re the absolute worse, Jemima” he said, pouring out all his emotions as the rain continued pouring.

Jemima was looking so guilty when he finally said it all, and he swiftly turned to leave, but she grabbed his arm again.

“Maxwell I…

He shook her off, and she fell on the ground heavily…

“Don’t touch me, don’t try it…” He muttered hatefully.
