SABRINA'S POV
"What the hell is the meaning of this?" I shouted at the so-called people in the car.
Even though I know they were rich just by looking at the expensive Lamborghini, I do not give a damn about that.
Then someone came out of the car. I thought he was the owner, but I heard someone else speaking in an authoritative voice.
"Why is she shouting?" The guy who stepped down from the car replied to him saying;
"I don't know Sir, let me find out." He responded to the man whom I assume is his boss.
I was just looking at him furiously as he got close to where I was standing.
"Hello Miss, what's the problem? Why are you shouting?" He asked.
" I don't understand what you are saying. Can't you see, you splashed water all over me?"
" Do you expect me to act nice?" I shouted at him.
"Can you keep your voice down? "
"You are attracting onlookers, and you are making it seem like it's something serious "
"I thought we hit you, I never knew it was just water." He said to me arrogantly.
" What!! " I exclaimed.
Why are people so wicked? Even though it was just water he couldn't apologize and the stupid boss wasn't saying anything.
"You must be mad for saying that, so you have to hit me with your car before you can apologize, can you hear yourself? " I shouted at him.
I don't know how I became this fearless, I was very quiet before I left New York.
Maybe my enemies did this to me. I muttered to myself.
Then Emma finally stepped in between us.
She had been shouting my name but I was not yet done talking to these people.
'They think just because they are rich, they could get away with this. Even though they do, I will make sure I shout to my heart's content.' I said to myself.
"Amelia, it's okay," Emma said to me.
"Sir she's very sorry, don't mind her, she's just stressed. That's why she's acting this way." Emma said to the guy.
I looked at her, surprised at what she was saying, and she gave me that
'Will you keep quiet' look.
The guy was just staring at us.
" That's a lie, Emma, there's nothing
like, 'She is just stressed' I mimicked what she said.
We were still arguing when the guy I assume is the boss rolled down the car window and gave me a cold stare, then he turned to the other guy.
"What is the meaning of this Steve, can't you see I'm late for work?" He said coldly.
" So… . sorry Sir, I am trying to sort out the issue with this Miss." He responded to his boss, stammering.
" Get in the car let's go," His boss said and didn't even look at me to apologize.
I was still lost in thought when he finally glanced my way, and our eyes met and I felt a chill running down my spine. He felt the same also because we stayed in that gaze, looking at each other before Emma gently poked me to draw my attention back.
I couldn't say anything again he just closed my mouth with his cold demeanor.
Then he said to the other guy called Steve.
"I said get in the car, let go." He said almost shouting.
Steve left where he was standing and got in the car immediately, then he fixed his eyes on me, threw money at my feet, and said.
"Clean yourself up." And he drove away.
I couldn't believe my eyes when he did that.
"Emma, did he just throw this money at me?" I asked her and she laughed.
"You caused it, sweetheart."
"I told you to leave these people, but you didn't listen, so deal with it." She said in a mocking voice.
"You don't expect me to just let them go after splashing water all over me."
" The least you could do is to support me, but what did you do?"
" You made a mockery of me in front of them like I was at fault," I said to her in a hurt voice.
"Amy, don't take it that way. You should know that looking at that man, he's a wealthy person, that's why I couldn't say anything."
"Just look at his car, do you know how much it cost?" She asked while staring at me with a mischievous smirk.
"So he's more important than me, is that what you are saying?" I uttered, and she looked away.
" I Can't believe you have not changed one bit."
You are still the same baby I knew before you disappeared."
" Always looking for attention like a sulking child," Emma said to me, smiling.
"Of course, I'm still a child so you have to give me your full attention," I responded.
"Ok, Amy." She said unconcernedly.
"Amelia, I was trying to place where I have seen those faces because they are kind of familiar."
"That's the reason I just stood at the back watching you guys but I couldn't remember them so I decided to step in." She muttered
I was wondering why she stood at the back unmoved.
" How did you know such a wealthy person Emma "
" Ohhh!! now I get it, you had a one-night stand with him right." I told her, feigning surprise.
"Be serious Amelia."
"Am not joking, but I will just act like I didn't see these people because I can't even remember anything." She stated.
" Anyway, it's time to go home, Amy."
I will see you tomorrow, No, You know you are going for the interview tomorrow right."
" Yes I know, I will go home now so I can apply for the job "
"OK see you when I come to your house, we will set a date for that "
"Yeah," I replied
Then she stopped a cab and entered.
"Bye Amy." She said to me,
'I waved at her and also got into a cab and left so I could go home and apply for the Job. That is very important.' I said to myself.
Getting home I paid the cab driver and got inside my condo.
It was already past three in the afternoon.
I ordered food for myself and ate, then I went into my room and logged into the company's official website.
I filled out the application form, uploaded my resume, and submitted the required documents.
Am now waiting for the company to get back to me regarding the interview.
I just hope I am called for the interview because I know I did not graduate from a good college, the old couple couldn't afford it but I am grateful to them. I said to myself.
Then I decided to wait for them to call me. I didn't know when I slept off, but a continuous ringing on my phone woke me up. I picked up the phone from the bedside table to answer it, but I saw
an unknown number.
Patrol Paul warned me not to take unknown calls, so I was kind of wondering who would be calling me with an unknown number.
"Who could this be?"
