Purple Romance
Chapter 48: She will be my errand girl 2
Maria hung up and frowned furiously. Kobby walked out of his room and noticed that the temperature of the room had risen up and asked 'why do I feel that you are about to murder someone?'
'That's because I really want to murder someone right now'. Maria screamed and turned leaning on the couch.
'Why? What happened? Who did you receive a call from?' Kobby asked.
'Can you believe the kind of call I received just now?'
'Tell me about it?'
'That company with that narcissistic boss and that weird looking man who calls himself a secretary are going to be the death of me. Can you believe the nonsense he spouted on the phone just now? He just told me that his boss said I am too old to be a marketing clerk and my certificate is already old enough to be thrown away but since his boss is a generous man, he asked that I be his errand girl but with the same payment. Take it or leave it. I am already being generous enough with that offer'. Maria quoted every single word Paul said to her on the phone in one breath.
'What?'. Kobby chuckled.
'Is that man on crack or what? Or did he take the wrong medicine? Why is he acting that way towards me? Does he have a grudge with me or what? Wow. I feel like strangling him to death right now'.
'Maria, calm down. Tiana is still sleeping'.
'Right, Tiana'.
'So, what will you do now? Are you taking it or leaving it? You don't have to do it if is about the money'
'No. Kobby, this is a challenge. That man is challenging me. He gave me that job not because he is being generous. He wants me to give up on my own and that is not happening. This has to do with my pride'. Maria said and shook her hand.
'What?' Kobby chuckled. 'I don't understand your logic, Portia'.
'Listen, people like that man who are born in old money looks down on people. They pretend to be nice while trampling people under them and that is what he wants to do to me. An errand girl with the pay of $1000 dollars a month? Is he kidding me? He just insulted me, Kobby with his money and I am going to make him regret it'.
'How?' Kobby folded his arms and looked at Maria interestingly. It had been a while since she reacted this way to someone and he was amused by her.
'That man, that masochist is indirectly telling me that I am too old to work for his marketing department and he feels obligated to still employ me because he feels pity for me. He is telling me that if I have no shame, I should come to work and be his errand girl and do nothing at all and wait; when the month ends, I should take my salary shamelessly and go home. That is what he is telling me. but, he is wrong about something'.
'What could that be?'
'I Maria Portia Lee isn't someone who freeloads on people…well you are an exception'. Kobby chuckled and gestured for her to continue and she did.
'I am not so shameless to do no work and still expect to be paid. He must be thinking that I will not accept that job and he must be rejoicing that he had gotten rid of me but he is so wrong'.
'So, what exactly are you going to do? You've said a lot but I still can't figure out your exact plan?' Kobby said and Maria glared at him.
'Can't a girl even express herself anymore? Well, forget of that. My plan is simple. I am going to take that job. What is wrong with being an errand girl? I still get paid at the end of the month, right? but, I am going to be the best errand girl there is to ever exist. That man has yet to see my tenacity. I will conquer him and make him eat his words. He is going to regret making me his errand girl' Maria said proudly.
'Okay, then, I guess I have to start bringing home a lot of beer'. Kobby said and nodded his head.
'Beer? For what?' Maria asked.
'For when you want to badmouth your boss. I have enough experience with Lexis to know you will soon curse and stab a doll just to vent out'
'How could you say that to my face? Are you even my friend or not?' Maria asked and frowned unhappily.
'Is because I am your best friend that is why I need to prepare for the future. When do you start work?' Kobby asked as he walked to the kitchen to open the fridge.
'Monday, two days away since today is Friday'. Maria said.
'Go and rest a little more. I will prepare what we need so that we can leave for the picnic early'. Kobby said and brought out some meat from the fridge.
'Aww, why are you so sweet? Can I really go and get some more sleep?' Maria asked and leaned on the kitchen table and pouted like a kid.
'Yes, you can. Go already before I change my mind'. Kobby said and Maria ran into her room and he laughed.
Today was children's day and Kobby and Maria promised to take Tiana out for a picnic. They would go to the theatre and watch a movie together afterwards. Their schedule today was packed with lots of fun things to do.
Kobby brought out the ingredients he needed and washed his hands to start cooking. He intended to cook a variety of dished that the girls loved. He smiled and shook his head.
....
'What did she say?' Ad-Din asked Paul on the phone as he went to sit on the couch across Calia. Calia was busy looking at some of her latest crafts.
'You seem to be in a good mood. Care to share with me, what's happening in your life?'. Calia asked after noticing he had finished making the call.
'Nothing for now but something is about to happen'. Ad-Din said and Calia looked at him.
'Tell me'.
'There is something I didn't tell you. About the day I had the relapse?' Ad-Din said.
'Really? Did something happen that day?' Calia asked and placed her tablet down.
'I met her. Maria Portia Lee'. Ad-Din said.
'Holy cow. Are you saying you really really met Miss Lee? Where?'
'At the airport. But I also found out something else? She is married and has a kid who is about 8 years old already'.
'What? Are you being serious?' Calia asked and Ad-Din nodded his head and told her everything that happened.
