Chapter 4. Fired Again?

Kate's POV

"Hey, hey, I'm here. I guess everything is alright?" Headmaid asked.

I banged into her room and searched for my bag.

"My bag, I have her d***s in it. I need to return them to the hospital as soon as possible. The doctors want to see them," I explained as much as I could.

"Here!" She stretched her hand and handed it to me, "Take this, my dear, you might need some money as well."

'Wow, I didn't expect that.' I thought.

"Just keep it, you can pay it back when you receive your salary. I have enough on me now," she opened my palm and tabbed the money in it. "Now, run, don't forget to use the exit I showed you."

"Where's master? Has he looked for me?" I curiously asked to secure my job.

"No! Nope! Not at all. He has gone out with his visitor, you know what, just go. I got you covered." She pushed me out.

I wished I met the same good samaritan who had dropped me off earlier. I just can't run; I wish I could. I tried my best to jog but to no avail. My heart beat harder and faster. I could hear the beat it created within the ribs. Luckily, a bus stopped by my side. I think the driver felt my pain, to be frank, couldn't have gone any longer if he had not intervened.

"Hey, look at how you are tired. You should have been a good runner with this weight. Ha…ha…" a guy I never knew laughed at me. Maybe, I saw myself dragging myself alongside the road.

I kept mute and didn't even look back to see him. He pulled my hair and everyone laughed. I wish I could kick his ass but I had better plans ahead.

"Don't touch her again," the man who had dropped me in front of the house where I worked was also on the bus. "Try that again and I promise to let you spend the rest of your life with a broken arm!" He concluded.

I didn't have time to ask him why he was on the bus, getting off, he just waved at me.

When I reached the hospital, I rushed to the counter and dropped the d***s.

"Here, these are what you requested," The nurses looked confused and double-minded as they looked into each other's faces.

"Hey, this way. Aren't you Catherine's daughter?" The doctor I had met earlier called.

"Sorry, I think I'm lost. He's the one I'm looking for," I begged and started packing the d***sback into my bag.

"Due to time, you can pick one of each d***. It'll help the rest." One of them offered kindly.

"Today has been a day of kindness and surprises," I told myself as I rushed to the doctor's office.

"Calm down, dear. Calm down." He advised, but I still sat there panting like a pregnant fish." Breathe in…out…breath in…1 2 3…let it out." He continued with the exercise until I calmed down. We sat there looking into our faces. His blue eyeballs moved and stuck on his file, then his hand and pen followed.

"Your mother is doing fine, but I'll need you to answer some questions before we go to see her." the doctor requested and I nodded.

He only asked me four questions, all about the d***s and how I managed to purchase them.

"These are not the types she should be taking, it's very detrimental to her situation. It's a miracle she still survives on these antibiotics." He complained and taught me about it. "Now, let's go see your mother," he added.

She was laying there reading her book; her hobby.

"Come give me a kiss, girl," she dropped the book and opened her arms widely to receive me.

I could wait to embrace the love; I ran to fall in between her two open arms. I listened to her heart beat and it played a nice melodious beat.

"First, how's work? You told me you'll be meeting the man today,?" she inquired. Her face changed at once when her bloated cheeks sunk in. Her wrinkles dropped back and streamed on her face. "Is he good?"

"Yeah, Sir…no…Matt…yes…Sir…Sir…he's a nice person," I rested in the chair beside her and I answered.

"Tell me more, I know you're smart to find enough," I knew this woman would ask. She didn't want me to work under pressure.

"He's very handsome and charming, tall and slim. He has bright eyes. Mom, you can't watch his gray eyeballs, at a moment it tends to be green and then back to gray and his lips are so cute…" before I realized a book had landed on face. She didn't hit me that hard but I was alarmed. "Awch, why did you do that, Mom?" I touched the spot she had hit me.

"That's not what I asked for, are you high?" she sarcastically asked, "You are telling a different thing. I never asked for his physical appearance or physique. I mean, was he rude or what?"

"And height is just very moderate," I continued with what I had started earlier.

"Oh my good gentleperson, hold me within. You are amazing…don't tell me you are in love with him already, please." she teased and sat down to face me.

"Love!? Mother!? I'm not in love with him, he is so rude. You won't believe he turned a beautiful rich lady down. He just told her he does not like her. I can't deal with such an arrogant person. No! Mom! No!" I highlighted it in a few seconds.

"That's what billionaires do. They are arrogant and rude, but this time, I need you to cope with it. Just don't forget what I taught you. Controlling your emotions. They said I can go home today, it's already late, I want you to and end your work for the day. I'll be waiting for you in the house." She requested.

As if she knew I had hoped to set my eyes on him for the last time before the day ends. I didn't tell her about the deal, "yeah, a deal is a secret."

"Here take this money," I offered gently. Her lips widened and her wrinkles stretched on her forehead. I didn't know if she was happy or sad as she held my hand and the money at a go. "I need to get going, it's getting late," I cried into her ears, left the money, and walked out. That face meant so much to me. I didn't want to see it sad. All I wanted for her is happiness, yeah, happiness and nothing much or less. On my way, I started to think about how my first experience had been and considered quitting but I needed money desperately from that silly contract I agreed to.

All the way, I couldn't think of anything else aside from Matt and Angela.

"How could Angela want such a handsome rich guy all for herself? It doesn't happen. Such guys belong to billions of women, even me but I frantically know I don't deserve him…"

"Hey, stand there, Lady!!" A loud indistinct voice rocked at me in the tunnel where I needed to pass by all means, but I didn't even turn back to glance at the person. I just increased my speed! The person followed me at the same speed, it was getting darker and darker. We were the only people using that tunnel and no one else but I made sure to control my heart. Suddenly, a touch of light spectrums dispersed in the dim tunnel and I braked.

"What are these tag boys going to do to me?" I wrestled with my conscience. Surprisingly, the unknown individual was busily running back when I turned around.

"Hello, it's the police, don't be afraid!" The man holding the touch motivated me. He was my surveillance for the night. In a few minutes, we reached the unusual gigantic beautiful house.

"This is my…" I tried to let him know that we'd reached the house where I worked but he took matters into his own hands.

"Home? Wow! You're so lucky to be with the billionaire. I guess you're his wife. I'm Officer Pole, and I'm glad to render you my service." He burst into laughter and headed back.

When I entered the house, I used the secret entrance Headmaid had shown me earlier, and to my surprise, Matt and his Headmaid stood right behind the door.

"I'm sorry, he found out." The Headmaid broke her speechlessness.

"You know what? You're fired!" Matt roared at me. My spirit left my body at that moment as I was shocked. I couldn't believe that was happening to me.
