"Are you going somewhere" Edward James asked Maria when it was just the two left on the dinner table.
"Yes, am actually going to the company" she said
"Why's that?" He asked further
"The designs are ready, so I need to meet up with the production team after the CEO has approved it" Maria Moore said like she wasn't seated with the CEO, this brought smile on Edward James face but wasn't noticed.
"Alright then" Edward James said as he picked up his work bag and suit jacket but paused before asking, " do you want to join me_ I think you should else you won't be allowed into my office" Edward James told her
"Why won't I be allowed?"
"Do you want to try to know why?" He asked her instead.
"Yes I want too" she told him full of confidence.
"Good luck then" with that he left.
Arriving at the company he instructed the receptionist about Maria Moore.
After waiting three hours without the sight of Maria he called her chauffeur to know the reason she's not yet at the company.
Main while Maria Moore who was on her way to the company saw came across a small crowd, she asked the chauffeur to go check it out but, when he returned he told her Ms Bold was lying unconscious on the ground.
"Excuse me please, excuse me please" Maria Moore said to the crowd as she walks closer to the unconscious Ms Bold.
Just then the ambulance arrived and the rescue team took her in it.
Instead of heading to the company she decided to go to the hospital.
"To the hospital please" she told the chauffeur
"Yes ma'am" with that they drove off in the direction of the ambulance.
It was then Edward James call came through, and was told they're at the hospital.
Thinking Maria Moore was in the hospital he stood up, grabbing his car keys and swiftly ran into his private elevator; at that moment he felt the elevator was too slow. It wasn't until he got into his car and asked Maria Moore's chauffeur of the hospital address that he knew who's in the hospital. " What's the address?" Edward asked
" The city hospital Sir" replied the chauffeur
" I'll be there in five minutes before then, prepare the her to be transferred to the James hospital" Edward instructed and hung up.
The chauffeur was taken aback as to why his boss will be coming to the hospital. 'does he think ma'am is in the hospital for treatment' the chauffeur thought but called back his boss who is now driving towards the hospital.
"What's it?" Edward asked irritated
"Boss ma'am isn't the one sick but her friend I_" he was saying when he heard screeching sound of a car
"What did you say?" Edward James thundered after he suddenly stepped on the break pedal, he was lucky the road isn't busy at this hour of the day.
"Am sorry boss but madam is doing just fine, you hung up before I could_" he was saying but didn't expect what he heard next.
"You are fired" Edward James said and hung up the call. He gently drove off the road to the side and packed, he closed his eyes while resting his head on his seat taking in deep breath to calm his tensed up body.
' What an idiot' he muttered. Taking out his phone he called the chauffeur who was looking anxiously at Maria Moore to save his job.
" Ma'am please I don't want to lose my job, young master is mad at me help me out please" said the chauffeur.
"You won't lose your job and why is he mad?" She asked him
"I didn't_" he was saying but stopped when his phone rang looking at the caller id he wasn't sure if he should pick up.
"Give me that" Maria Moore told him seeing how he stared at his phone she knew it's Edward James.
"Hello Mr Edward" Maria answered and the chauffeur was surprised at her tune.
' sure enough she's the boss's woman' he thought.
Edward James hearing Maria Moore's voice was more releaved.
"How are you doing" he asked her.
"Why did you have to terminate my chauffeur?" She asked him instead of replying to his to which Edward James found amusing.
" You can't blame me for his misinformation" Edward James replied
"What misinformation are you talking about" she asked not really sure what the chauffeur did wrong.
"Come back to the company" Edward James said not ready to answer her then hung up before making a U turn back to the office.
