Amanda was angry .
She walked out of Luvuyo’s office in a rapid pace . Luvuyo had really be rude to her it was as if she did something to him . His facial expression when she put her hands under the table to satisfy him , made it clear to her that she was disturbing him and that she was not welcome to be his company .
She doesn’t understand why he was being like that to her . She expected him to jump up with happiness when he sees her just 2days ago when she went to see him . He was happy and excited .
Trying to sedate herself Amanda opened the water bottle and let it gulp down her throat .
” Mr Vumani said I should tell you that he is waiting on the drawings ” said Noqolo entering Amanda’s office.
Noqolo entered the office with her pretty face full of happiness . Noqolo is a young clerk who gives the appearance of being delicate , kind with strong opinions and good values. Her personality gave off a character that should be working in a higher job then just bring a clerk .
” Tell him to wait “shouted Amanda
Noqolo pushed back her glasses and her mind went blank , unable to digest what she heard .
” Go ! ” Shouted Amanda with anger .
And Noqolo immediately ran out of her office .
Standing infront of the door , she gnashed as the door went close . Noqolo doesn’t like Amanda infact nobody likes her . Amanda thinks that she owns the workplace , yes she is one of the best Interior designers in the company but she over does it with her attitude. Always bossing people around and treat people like her tools . And it all went worse when she starting seeing the boss . She sees herself as his wife and thinks she also owns the company . She talks how she wants with whoever she wants . Her manners is the worst. People only respect her for her beautiful work but otherwise it’s otherwise .
Shaking her head Noqolo walked on back to her reception .
” Our boss deserves better Shem ” she muttered under her breath

Amanda barged into the office and walked to Luvuyo’s desk. She threw the file onto his table and crossed her arms together.
” There is what you asked for ”
Luvuyo looked up at her with a glare and said nothing . Amanda rolled her eyes when he looked at.
Luvuyo took the file and opened it .
” But it’s not done ”
” But you asked for it ” she said raising her shoulders .
” Amanda please I really don’t have time for this oky ”
” Do I look like I have time for it ”
” Amanda I am not your friend do you understand , I am your boss ”
” Wow ”
” Yes so respect me . I want those drawings done by tomorrow or consider a written warning ”
Amanda was frozen in place , shocked by his words . Did he just threaten to give her a written warning ?
” Just because I didn’t finish the drawings ”
” Those drawings are your job , so if you do not do your job correctly I will have you fired … Oh and don’t think you are unplacable because I can get another you in a split second ”
Amanda made no response as her ears burnt while listening to Luvuyo . Her feelings ware hurt but she made no exception to show it. She grabbed the file and drawings out of his hand and grimed at him as she walked out of his office .
Luvuyo shook his head and gnashed his teeth .

Manyika sat in the car not wanting to come out of it . He laid his head against the seater and fixed his eyes on his house. The house he made when he married his beautiful Wife . He now thought of the idea of marrying another wife just to get her pregnant then divorce her but now that was not the issue . The issue was what if he ends up falling for her .what will happen , surely he will disappoint his wife and that’s the last thing he would want to do . His wife is his best friend and their friendship could never end just because of some outsider . He just hopes that the woman he will marry will not outstand his wife .
Sighing Manyika realised how hard it was for him when it was supposed to be easy .

” Girl you let him take to you like that haii uyacotha and futi uweak Shem huh ” said Nobule taking a sip of her wine and crossing her legs .
” Seriously Bule how will that help me , the guy litteraly chased me out of his office today and talked to me like I was some type of … I don’t know what to call it ”
” Like shit , that’s the word ”
” I am so shocked and heartbroken at the same time , what has gotten into him ”
” Look maybe he is under some type of stress of something ”
” Stress , Bule , stress . What man who loves his woman takes his stress out on her. I am not a therapist . If he has stress he should go and see one ”
” Girl you see your problem is that you slow ”
” I am not slow , he is the one that is slow . Do you really think that I would just give him a child before him marrying me ”
” Not that Amanda. Why don’t you just forget about Luvuyo . I mean you have got your own money . You thee best in interior designs high classes of people recommend you like you can do best without him ”
” I can do best but can I build myself a company like that ”
” You can , ”
” If you want to do it go ahead , but I will not . Imagine wasting 5 years or even 10 building your own company to make stable …. No no no I would never ”
” Then stay stuck with your luvuyo and stop complaining. Xhanti is even better then him and he has money ”
” Money because he is a lawyer , do you think my kids will eat that . I need a man who has a backbone a plan for his kids a… ” She searched for a world to describe it. ” A brain ” she finally said.
Bule took another sip of her wine and shook her head as she listened to Amanda be pathetic .
” You know you don’t love him , you only want his moola ”
” I do love him and I do want his moola ”
” And you also love Xhanti ”
” No I don’t ” she lied .
” You can deny it all you want but I know you do … Anyways how about we go out for some drinks to sedate you “
Amanda has always found it difficult to express her love for Xhanti . She did love him and very much too but she also loves Luvuyo . She doesn’t know who she wants. She feels like she wants them both at the same time . Xhanti is soft , understanding , calm , funny and always there for her and always got time for her .one would think that he doesn’t have a job . Meanwhile Luvuyo extremely more then that , but it seems like he is beginning to change .
Or maybe Bule was right , maybe he is going through some things right now . But what ever it is his going through, she feel his still needs to learn to love her the way he used to love her .
” That’s a good idea , Maka! ” she called out
” What’s her name ” whispered Bule .
” Maka ”
” Ohh ”
” Yes my queen ” answered Maka .
” Kneel down when you address me ” commanded Amanda .
And Maka did as she was told .
” My friend here and I will be going to the club . So I will come home late . I expect you to be awake the time I return because you need to open the door for me .and if you dare oversleep or anything I will . … Bule tell her what I will do . She doesn’t seem to know what I am capable of ”
” Girl if I ware you , I would do everything and anything she says because tjho , yohh if you disappoint . Your body will be found on that Field opposite Shoprite ” she said standing up .
Maka nodded .
” You say yes Mam or what do you want to be called Bule ”
” Highness B”
” There you have it , you will address her everytime any time you see her as Highness B do you understand ”
” Yes queen ”
” You know maybe I should give you a lesson to show you that I am not joking , what do you think Bule ”
” Wait so you haven’t gave her a lesson to learn so she can be scared of you yet ? ”
” Not really ”
” Haii you are the goat Shem ”
Amanda walked to her room and returned holding her gun .
” Woah easy with that ,where did you get that ”
Maka’s eyes widened with fear .
” No no no , Amanda you drunk please put that gun down ”
Amanda paid no attention to Bule and raised her gun to point Amanda . Maka had fear running all over her body . Her feet was stiff to the point where she couldn’t move.
Bule could see the seriousness in Amanda’s eyes and face . She was furious and drunk at the same time . She had drank to many glasses of Marriott wine. Bule couldn’t shake the fear off her instead she instantly dropped her glass to the ground when she heard the gunshot go off and closed her eyes .
