1336 Words
I sat in the conference room waiting for Ole , i bit my lips , I was so scared of what could happen next but I was feeling brave the whole time . If Ole wanted to do something to me , he would have done it last night , rich people do not mind about our lives at all , but wait , he couldn’t do it , that was just a dream . I had footsteps of people approaching and I moved closer to hear them . “How are you planning to punish her ?” A voice asked . “No need to punish her !” Ole’s voice replied . “But she did something that might cost us billions and tarnish our name .” The voice replied . Ole fell silent . “Where is she , I will deal with her myself , the only way I know .” The voice continued. “We cannot deal with her just yet .” Ole replied . “Big brother Ole , the ruthless heir , when did you start showing mercy to peasants .” “Because she is willing to work with us , she called me yesterday night and told me she would like to clear our name to the public .” Ole said . “We need that brother , the company needs that .” Ole added . I was fuming at that point , I couldn’t believe such a man from a reputable family could twist scenarios like this , I decided to shoot out behind the door I was eavesdropping from and confront him . “I do not want to work with you .” I said coming out of the door . “And I did not call you at all , you did , that is why I am here .” I continued . Ole smiled and pulled me closer to himself by my shoulders, and he let out a small laugh . “Maya , this is my brother Ono , he can know the secret .” He said as he caressed my shoulders . Ono was his young brother, he was the second line to succeed thr company , people speculated that him and Ono could end up having to fight each other for the company . “I don’t know what you talking about!” I blurted out . Ono looked confused . “This one can keep a secret , that is what our company is looking for in a partner .” Ole said pinching my hand . “Dont you have a meeting in a few minutes ,Ono ?” He said turning to Ono . “Right I will head to it , but keep an eye on that one , okay .” Ono said as he turned his back and walked away . Ole pulled me back into the room and pinned me onto the wall . “Are you not here to sign a contract with us .” He asked . “No , I would never do such a thing !” I confidently replied . “Do you prefer your head attached or detached from your body ?” He quietly whispered. “Attached !” I shivered . “Then quit being stubborn .” He yelled He slowly let go of me , and he sat in a chair and faced me . I was in a dilemma , things looked serious , but I was not about to betray the common people that I worked to serve . “Think about all the advantages of being a partner with the Nyembas.” He said . I remained quietly , if I continued that would be a selfish move , I didn’t want to become the devil I preached against , I knew the Nyemba’s were oppressive to the common people , i didnt want to join them . Soon Ole’s phone rang , he reached into his pockets and picked it up . “Hello dad .” He said in a calm tone . “No , no she has signed the contract , she agreed to work with us .” He said. “We definitely need her .” He continued. “Yes we are very known , but to the older generation, Maya will give us publicity to the teenagers , her audience, and we definitely need that .” He added . “Yes we will leave her head attached .” He said and locked his eyes with mine . “For now .” He added as he hang up . I was shivering , I felt dizzy I pulled a chair and sat down , these people were about to use me as a puppet and then kill me ,they absolutely didn’t need me , they had made their name for decades , everyone knew them , all ages , they didn’t need more publicity. Why were they acting like they did ? He pulled out papers and threw them on the table . “I will need your signature .” He said . “You are free to read through first !” He added . “I am not going to sign these documents, thank you !” I replied . “Do you need an attorney ?” He asked . “No I don’t need no one , I will just not put my signature on these stupid papers .” I stood my ground . “That is okay , I can get your signature without you giving it to me .” He said with a smirk . “I will sue then !” I said standing up . “I love going to court rooms .” He said . I squeezed my eyes and bit my lips , I wondered the animosity of the rich people. “Dont you want to know why ?” He asked with a smile . I turned my back towards him and started to move to the door , he pulled my hand with so much force , he pulled me to his chest and with a grin on his face he said . “I asked you a question!” “Let me go .” I yelled . “The more cases i win , the more my worth in this company increases .” He said pushing me away from himself . “I knew it , you want to use me as a puppet , for your selfish desires.” “If you insist .” He coldly said . “I will not be used .” I said . “And why is that ?” “I know my rights as a human , and if you try to take them away from me , I will take legal action.” I said then took a deep breath and sat down again . He laughed at looked at me closely . “Do I need to remind you why I love getting sued ?” He asked . “You cannot be sure that you will win any case !” I said . “Actually I can .” “I disagree because no one is above the law.” I said. He smacked his lips and looked me in the eyes and smiled , he leaned towards me and in a whisper he said. “Except that I am .” He extended away from me and said . “You probably need to go take a shower .” “I showered before I came here !” “Well , interacting with such a hot guy must have made you sweat .” He laughed at his supposedly good joke , I was not impressed.
