100 Days With Mr Romero

“You…Sam! You are the boss? ” Emma stammered with shock spread across her face. She had never thought that Sam was the owner of the club she had been working at all this while. He never told her and now she’s stunned. No wonder he barely talks about his business. She thought. “Listen Emma. Listen to me. ” Sam said trying to calm her down demonstrating with his hands while she ran outside leaving Larry and Mc. Bryan in the VIP lounge. “Wait Emma. ” Sam called out while hurrying after her. She stood outside the bar rubbing her body. It was a cold evening. “You never told me. Why? ” she screamed at him. “There was no need to. ” he said. “No need to? ” she queried. “So if you didn’t attack Larry you wouldn’t have revealed to me who the boss was? ” she screamed. “Ok. ” she continued. “I don’t know why or what your reason was and I don’t want to know why you hid your professional identity from me. Right now, you need to apologize to Larry. ” she said. “You are not serious. ” Sam told her chucking loudly. “Why will I apologize to that clown? ” he protested. “He is a new guy Sam. He messed up. It wasn’t his fault that the rattling sound from one of the guys scared him. ” Emma tried to explain. “He almost ruined my business. ” Sam argued. “Do you know what would have happened if I wasn’t there to intervene? ” he said pointing to the VIP lounge.

“I am sorry one of your top customers got his clothes ruined with vodka but Sam let’s be rational here. ” Emma insisted. “If you don’t want to apologize to him then fine don’t do it but note that I will quit from this day. ” revealed Emma. “What? ” Sam said in a surprised tone. “You’ll resign because some random guy poured Vodka on my top customer and I wouldn’t apologize? Come on Emma you must be joking. ” said Sam. “Sam. I am not joking. Apologize to Larry or I quit. ” she maintained. “What is wrong with you? ” asked Sam. “I can’t work for a man who has no sympathy or good human relations. ” Emma declared. “Listen Sam. Apologize or I quit. ” she added. “I know why you want to quit. ” Sam said. “You are quitting not because of Larry but because I kissed you right? ” added Sam looking into her eyes. “You must be crazy man. ” she said. “Who do you think you are? ” she thundered. “That kiss meant nothing after all you were the one that kissed me. I will never wish for such to happen. ” She barked at Sam.

“Listen Sam. ” Emma said in a lower tone trying to maintain her cool. “You can manage your business whichever way you want it. I don’t bloody care. I am leaving this job and there’s nothing you can do about it. ” she said and turned to leave while Sam stood in her way. “You can’t leave. ” he said in an authoritative tone. “You won’t. ” he added. She giggled and said “Who the hell do you think you are? My husband? ” “You are not even my boyfriend. ” she added and pushed him away. She went inside the club, grabbed her bag and hurried outside after giving some directives to Larry. Sam stood by the corner without uttering a word. Suddenly a cab pulled over, she hopped in and left.

When Emma got home, she placed her bag on her bed, took off her clothes and hurried to shower. She believes showering makes her feel light. After that, she made some noodles and went to bed. She wasn’t expecting Sam to call her. She knew he wouldn’t especially after their little drama. She tried to sleep but she couldn’t. She pulled out the book she was reading earlier but she found it difficult to make sense of the pages. She fiddled the pages aimlessly then placed the book on her table. She wondered why Sam never told her he was her boss. No wonder he knew her shifts so he popped out at the right time. He must have known her name by checking the staff list because the bar attendants in his club had no name tags. She recalled Sam saying it was the kiss that made her quit but she was certain it wasn’t. She couldn’t stand the sight of inhumanity. If only Sam knew. Meanwhile, Sam was in his bathtub at home drinking liquor. He didn’t know whether he was mad at Larry or Emma. Such an issue is not enough reason for her to quit. He thought. Was he right to have brought up the kiss issue after they thrashed it? He wondered burying his head in the warm water.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The next day, Ellie had come to Emma’s place because the news of her resignation had spread around like wildfire. Ellie and Emma were seating in a restaurant few steps away from Emma’s home. They were having coffee. “They said you quarrel with the boss. ” Ellie told her. “And then you quit. ” she added. Emma nodded in affirmation. “They also said the boss didn’t ask you to leave but you got angry and left. ” Ellie said. “And didn’t they tell you the boss was cruel to someone? ” Emma retorted. “Emma when Elephants fight:the grasses suffer. ” Ellie said. “That wasn’t your issue to deal with. ” Ellie told her. “I did what I had to do. All he had to do was tender an apology to Larry. ” Emma said. “You’ve got some nerve girl. You want the boss to apologize to some dumb bar attendant who should be working in library. ” Stated Ellie. “Whatever you guys think. Sam was wrong and I needed to let him know. ” insisted Emma. “You sure got some nerves girl. You addressed the boss? ” Ellie said in a surprised manner. “They say that man is brutal. ” she added. “Did I tell you the boss is Mr. Arrogant? ” Emma said. “Oh my God. ” marveled Ellie with her hands covering her lips.
