Chapter 5
*Mr & Mrs. Williams Mazza's Home*
Barry drove into his parent's compound, he knew his father was not home as usual and he was surprised his mother was home asking him to come to see her.
The compound has a lot of space and beautiful flowers were in the surroundings with some workers trimming them. The house itself it's gigantic and is painted white with a mixture of blue. The sound of dogs barking could be heard in the dog cage coming from the back.
The maids rushed to welcome him, “Welcome Sir Barry, your mother is waiting for you at the poolside.”
The maids were around the age of twenty to twenty-four years, they wore a blue and white uniform with their hair packed up not touching their bodies.
Mrs. Williams, Barry's mother is seen drinking a glass cup of juice close to the pool and some cookies on her table. She wore a simple and free gown.
One of the maids rushed to her saying, “Ma'am, Sir Barry just arrived and he is heading towards here.” She had a beautiful smile on her face.
“Good, get more juice and more cookies for my son.” She ordered and the maid rushed to carry out the order.
Barry got to where his mother was and went straight to the point, “Mother, what is so urgent that you requested I come to see you at once?”
“Have you lost your training son? You can't greet your mother, hug me as usual and give me a peek on my cheek?” She scolded him without much anger.
“I am sorry mom, greetings to my beautiful mother.” He kissed her cheek and she smiled at him.
“Have your seat son, the maid will be here with your cup of juice and cookies.” She assured him.
“Thanks, mom but I don't feel like taking anything, I just wish to know the reason you asked me to come to see you at once.”
“You are just like your father, always impatient, well you have to calm down and enjoy with me, I will tell you why I sent for you.”
“Fine mother, you won.” He gave in to his mother's words and she smiled again.
He thought about what possibly his mother was planning to do. The maid returned with a cold glass of juice and cookies placing them before him.
He drank a little from it and ate the cookies.
“Son, there is something you must know.”
“I am all ears, mother.” He replied, still eating the cookies.
“I know you don't have a girlfriend and you are not bothered about it.”
“Enough mother, not the marriage conversation again, I already told you I am not ready to get married when I am I will let you know.”
“Son, look at me, am I getting younger? I need grandchildren, well if you can't get a wife then consider your betrothed, create a chance so we can visit her, and I know you will like her.”
He stopped drinking from the juice and kept the glass cup and looked at his mother carefully trying to recall what she just said.
“Mother, what do you mean when you use the word betrothed? I guess I didn't hear you very well.”
“We already proposed marriage to the girl in question, she is so beautiful and when you finally meet her, you will have no choice but to love her.”
“Can you hear yourself, mother? You went behind my back to get me a lady and you proposed marriage without my knowledge?”
“Not just me but your father so you are safe and you two can run the business together.”
“You know what mother, father can take in a second wife by getting married to her, I am out of here, I can't believe I drove all the way here to hear this nonsense.” He got up angrily and his mother stood up as well.
“Barry, I am still your mother and I will not let you talk to me in that manner.”
“I don't think you know your place mother, no mother will do this to their sons, tell me, is that what dad's family did to get married to you? If yes, that's so cheap.” He said out of anger and his mother slapped him hard on his face.
“How dare you speak ill of me in an ill mannered manner?” He held the spot and didn't say any more words to his mother as he walked out angrily. His mother suddenly developed a heart attack and the maids rushed in to get her medicine along with water to drink.
Barry drove at full speed and said to himself, “I hate everyone and I want to take out my anger on that annoying lady I met at the bar.”
He made a U-Turn with speed and drove directly to the bar, everyone was scared seeing the way he came in and they whispered among themselves.
“Did someone offend the Mazza family?”
“I really can't tell but see the way he came in, I have a feeling someone must have done something to piss him off.”
“I wonder who the person is and what the person has done.”
“Let's find out, I just hope it's not what transpired earlier today.”
Barry marched into the management office and the manager was trembling and went on his knees immediately, begging him not to include his name in his blacklist.
“You should have thought of that before hiring irresponsible people to work here.”
“I am sorry sir, just tell me what to do to get your forgiveness.”
“Get him here.” He referred to Ryan and in minutes he joined them at the office. He was scared at his sight and wondered why he came back, he told him earlier he would let him be, what must have changed?
"Forgive me sir for wronging you earlier.”
“I changed my mind, I will not let it go.” They all fell to beg him and he felt big.
“What's that your name again?”
“Ryan, sir.”
“Ryan, if you wish to keep working here, tell that b***h to come to my company to see me, I better punish her, if she fails to come, you are fired for life.”
