Chapter 5

• Meria's Pov:
• The makeup artist applied makeups on my face as I sat in front of the dressing mirror.
• "You look so amazing and adorable today Meria" The makeup artist Mary said as I chuckled.
• "You always tell me that almost everyday Mary, and you know I'm really beginning to disbelieve you" I giggled
• "Well that's the truth" Mary said
• Just then,,,,,,,,,, Nadia walked into the dressing room with her own makeup artist.
• She shot me a deadly glare and sighed.
• She have always hated me for being the best among all the entertainers.
• Though she's beautiful in the face,,,,,,, yet she's never recommended for special dance.
• I guess I am not the only one that knows.... she's only beautiful in the face and not in the heart.
• I only smiled within me.
• "Can't you just stop admiring my amazing beauty already Meria" She said as she eyed me angrily.
• I smiled at her but she snorted.
• "Oh I just can't dear Nadia..... Though am not supposed to be the one admiring your beauty...... It should be the customers" I teased her as she gulped.
• She looked around feeling so embarrassed.
• "You animal" She muttered on seeing her crush coming closer.
• Actually there is this guy,,,,,,,, she actually likes him a lot.
• She smiled warmly at him as he approached us.
• "Oh hi Sam" She said waving at him.
• "Hi Nadia..." Sam said coldly as she started showing off so that he could notice her.
• But I guess it was all a waste.
• "You look very beautiful Meria!" Sam said as he touched my jaw.
• I smiled heartily at him secretly making faces at Nadia.
• Who was dying in anger.
• How could her crush say am beautiful instead of her?
• "Thank you so much Sam" I said as he pecked me before walking away.
• The two makeup artist laughed within themselves.
• "He just confirmed how beautiful you are" I teased her as she eyes me, clicking her tongue loudly.
• "Oh dear! Is your pride hurt?" I mocked her as she groaned angrily.
• "You are soon gonna be kicked out" She said as I rolled my eyes.
• "Let's see" I laughed
• Just then,,,,, one of the workers came in.
• "Meria....!! Miss O sent for you" She said as I nodded.
• I stood up to leave.
• "I just hope you get fired from there" Nadia said as I smiled.
• "You too" I replied as I walked away.
• *********************************
• I walked into Miss I'd office already dressed in my dancing attire.
• I was told she wanted to see me.
• I walked in and saw her with a gloomy look.
• "What could be wrong?? I hope there is no problem" I thought within myself.
• She was absent minded and lost in thought.
• "Miss O? You sent for me??" I said as she quickly sprang up.
• She sighed loudly.
• "What's wrong? Are you OK?" I asked still very much worried.
• My heart skipped a beat as I bit my lower lip in anxiety.
• What could possibly be eating Miss O up like this????
• She has been so gloomy and dull since I got here.....
• Did I do something wrong???
• Is the bar having some issues?
• Thoughts kept running through my mind as she kept mute too.
• Like she was reading my mind.
• I gulped nervously as sweats rushed down my face.
• The anxiety was becoming unbearable so I spoke up.
• "What happened Miss O?" I broke the silence
• She breathed heavily and deeply before shaking her head.
• "You know you're my best dancer here in the bar right?" She asked as I nodded my head in agreement.
• Still lost in thought........
• "Whatever happens Meria... I want you to know that I will never want to hurt you" She said as she forced a smile.
• My anxiety grew the more as she spoke.
• "Miss O you're scaring me! What's happening???" I asked anxiously
• My palms was already sweaty.
• "Here...." She handed two envelopes to me.
• One of them was heavy while the other light.
• "What's this ma'am?" I asked rather too anxious.
• "Open it Meria" She said as I nodded.
• I quickly opened the heavy one......
• It was filled with a lot of money.
• I gasped in shock.
• As I quickly directed my gaze to Miss O.
• "It's not yet end of the month ma'am" I said as she only breathed heavily.
• "Open the other package " She said as I nodded and opened the other envelope.
• I mean the light envelope.
• It was a note.
• I unwrapped it and read it out loudly.
• Miss O bowed her head and I could see tears welled down her cheeks.
• "Fired? I'm fired??" I asked as hot tears pricked my eyes.
• I tried to say a word but hot tears rolled down my cheeks.
• "I Am so sorry Meria" She said as she mopped her face with her white napkin.
• I burst into tears as I fell on my knees.
• "What did I ever do wrong Miss O? Why should I be fired?" I asked in the midst of tears.
• "You've done absolutely nothing wrong my dear Meria....." She said in a calm but teary voice.
• "Why then are you firing me Miss O?" I cried on top of my voice.
• "This is actually because of the guy you turned his proposal down" She said as my eyes widened in shock.
• "You mean Damon?" I asked anxiously as I sniffed.
• I quickly wiped my tears off immediately. "Yes Meria... He said if I didn't fire you,,,, he will make sure my bar is closed down in less than two hours" Miss O said.
• I gulped hard.
• That son of a bas+ard......
• Anger burnt through me as I stormed out of the office not even minding the fact that Miss O was calling me.
• Why can't that guy let me be?
• I was on my way out when I met Nadia laughing at me in mockery.
• I bowed my head in shame.
• "I overheard it all.... You're fired!" She mocked
• "Move aside Nadia" I said trying to control myself.
• She clapped her hands in a gossip manner as she walked around me laughing.
• "That's what you get for crossing my path..... So finally you're gone" She rejoiced
• "Don't be too sure Nadia.... I might be back more earlier than you think" I said as I glared at her.
• "Oh no way my dear..... Not after what I heard,,,,, why will Miss O risk her bar for your sake" Nadia said as I smirked.
• "We will see to that" I said not knowing exactly what else to say.
• She rolled her eyes and walked away still laughing aloud.
• I bit my fingers as I rushed off.
• I quickly flagged down a cab and hopped in.
• Are you surprised?
• Well I am going to meet that fool..........
• ****************************
• He's so popular that everyone knows him.
• I walked into the office premises still fuming with anger.
• I got to the receptionist table.
• "I want to see Damon" I said sharply.
• She shot me a stare and snorted.
• "You must be insane to talk about the boss like that" She said as I landed a dirty slap on her face.
• She gasped in shock with her hand still on her face.
• "I said where the fvck is your God damn boss???" I screamed crazily causing a scene already.
• "Do you have any appointments with him?" She asked me as I grinned wickedly at her.
• "Does it matter? Take me to that demon that calls himself Damon like right now" I yelled banging my hand on the table.
• My hair was already messed up and I looked really insane.
• That's not one of my problems for the meantime,,,,, I fvcking need to get back my job.
• How would I cope without it????
• What will be my fate and how will I be able to get drugs for my sick Mia?
• She's always on medications and am the one paying for the medications.
• With the help of Suzy too.....
• I Am scared that we will starve to death cos with Suzy there,,,,,,,, she could pay our bills and feeding too.
• But how about Mia??
• Why can't this God forsaken womanizer take his stupid eyes off me.
• "It matters Miss.... You must have an appointment with him before meeting him" She said trying to be calm.
• "Oh please... Spare me those garbage you're talking right now!! Didn't he think about appointment before making me loose my job" I screamed.
• The security tried stopping me but I was ready for anything.
• "Tell your flirtatious boss to appear here" I screamed crazily.
• "Ma'am please this is a business arena besides its already late.... It's almost 6pm" The security guard said trying to get a hold of me.
• I screamed into his face..... "Arrrggghhhh....... Can't you get it? I want to see your boss??" I yelledangrily
• Suddenly,,, the inner door opens and the God forsaken idiot he stepped out.
• I snatched my hand from the security guard,,,, running straight to him, I landed a dirty slap on his cheek In public.....
• TBC......
