SWNOVELS Chapter 7
“Please! I wasn‘t appearing before you on purpose and I apologize sincerely for that night, please forgive me,” she pleaded.
There was a long moment of silence, anyone close to Amy at this time would literally hear her heartbeat.
It was thumping so heavily that it felt like her heart was ripping apart. She didn‘t want this fierce looking man to pounce on her. If
he pounced in her, what could she do? She started it six years ago by pouncing on him, she hoped earnestly that he would
change his mind. She just wanted to leave this office and run as fast as her leg could take her from this company.
He walked towards her then suddenly turned to his seat and sat, “leave.”
Leave? Amy thought that she probably didn‘t hear the right word. Did he say ‘leave?‘ He was telling her to leave?
She began to walk out slowly hoping that she was acting out on the right word, she twisted the knob and the door gave way.
Oh her gosh! Once she appeared outside of the office, she heaved a heavy sigh of relief. That was a narrow escape. What made
him change his mind? She needs to leave this company as soon as she could.
He already recognize her and he‘s sure nurturing grudges against her, if she can avoid this company and where crowds gather, ,
then she can avoid him, right?
She walked over to her desk and began to arrange her stuff inside her small handbag, she sat and quickly wrote a resignation
letter and went immediately to Abe‘s office to submit it.
“I won‘t be able to work here anymore, sorry,” she said after Abe had received the resignation letter from her. Abe read the letter
and saw that it was indeed a resignation letter, he smirked and said,” did I not tell you that if you don‘t give in to me, I will
frustrate you?” Who said she was resigning because of Abe? Such an idiot.
“Just yield to me and your future is secure here. If you leave, you won‘t find an high paying job as this anymore,” Abe said. Of
course, which company will pay as high as Alessandro‘s corporation?
“Excuse me!” Amy beleived that he was just being stupid and then walked out, but as soon as she walked out, she saw a familiar
face, he had seen him with Broderick yesterday...oh! . He was the one Broderick collected the hundred dollar he wanted to give
her from.
“Hi,” she greeted and wanted to leave but Brett, Broderick‘s personal assistant spoke up.
“If you leave and tried applying for a job, there is no company in the entire North Hill that will employ you, none! Not even one,”
Brett said, his words giving her goosebumps all over.
Amy looked at him in fear and asked,” why? What have I done?”
“Mr. Broderick!” Brett only mentioned his CEO‘s name.
“I apologized to him before leaving his office, is he the reason why I would not be getting a job anywhere here?” He asked.
“Yes, he would fire you at the right time but until then, you have to keep working here. But then, you can choose to disobey his
order and leave,” Brett said and walked away.
Amy became confused. Thought he didn‘t want to see her again? Why did he want her here then? Perhaps to be able to watch
her and punish her.
Who was she to refute the most powerful man in NorthHill, she returned back to Abe‘s office and said, “I changed my mind, I‘m
not resigning again. Please ignore the letter.”
Abe smirked,” I know you will come back, don‘t think I will even ignore the letter.”
“Your choice,” Amy said and walked out of his office. Abe was angry, how could she talk to him that way? Who did she think she
was? She better walk out of this building cause she must be joking if she thinks he will let her keep working here.
Abe walked out of his office and and went to Amy‘s desk, “you dared to sit here after tendering your resignation letter.” His voice
was loud and it called the attention of Amy‘s colleagues.
In less than a second, all eyes were on Abe and Amy.
“I told you to ignore the resignation letter, it‘s not valid anymore, why are you making it a big deal?” Amy asked, she disliked Abe
so much.
“Oh! I don‘t know what‘s giving you the gut to speak back to me but you seem not to know what I can do. Now get out of here,
your resignation is valid and you are fired.” Abe declared. Amy didn‘t know if he has so much power to but then again, the CEO
told her to keep working here so who was Abe to fire her? If she tells Abe that the CEO told her to keep working here, the
gossipers would start forming all sort of false news, she had so much trouble on her neck already and didn‘t want more.
While she was thinking of what to do, Amy noticed that everyone immediately concentrated on what they were doing as though
they were not the one watching Abe and her seconds ago. Amy randomly looked around and saw Brett standing behind Abe.
Abe had no idea that someone was standing behind him but he noticed a change in the atmosphere.
“Are you deaf, get out,” Abe screamed at the top of his voice on Amy.
“Since when did you have the power to fire a worker here?” Brett asked and Abe turned back in shock.
Seeing Brett, he almost ripped himself apart. Since when has Brett being behind him?
He coughed and said, “I‘m sorry... but she tendered her resignation letter just now and then said she changed her mind. Who
was she to think that she could tender a resignation letter now and change her mind later. She even had the gut to speak back to
me. Mr. Brett, such worked shouldn‘t be here.”
“Causing nuisance at work is also an offence,” Brett said, clearly not in support of Abe,” the CEO said you should now work in
Amy‘s position henceforth, meaning you have been demoted from the head of this department into an ordinary worker like
others. Your seat will now be Amy‘s seat. As for Amy, she has been promoted to the head of this department,” Brett said and
handed over a letter to Abe to confirm it
“What!” Abe couldn‘t beleive his ears,
Amy wasn‘t expecting either but she loved the twist, she smiled and said, “Abe, I have an ongoing task, make sure you finish the
second level before going home otherwise, you won‘t like the outcome. Also, report to my office tomorrow morning by 8AM, I
want you to orientate me on your previous works and how I could take it from there. If you come a minute before 8AM, you will
be fined.” Amy declared and carried her stuff. She walked elegantly to the office of the head of department.
Amy suddenly became a subject of gossip by everyone, everyone were rumouring and assuming different things.
“Abe has worked with the CEO as his secretary at NN Firms and there were rumours that they were so close, why would the
CEO suddenly demote him?”
“Abe was indeed causing a nuisance but everyone knows that he has worked with the CEO before maybe that was why he was
bold enough to talk as he wish but unless Amy is more important than Abe, it‘s impossible for a change in position to happen.”
“Amy is beautiful, maybe she has seduced the CEC, but the CEO isn‘t that cheap, none of us can even look at his face not to
talk of seduce him?”
“Whichever lady that tries to seduce the CEO is just digging his own grave, he‘s too powerful to behold, maybe he was just trying
to punish Abe and what happened has nothing to do with Amy,”
The gossips amidst workers of Alessandro‘s corporation went on and on. When Amy was done at work, she took a cab home but
while in the cab, the thought of what happened today filled her heart. She just couldn‘t think it through.
Once she arrived home, she had an happy expression on her face unlike yesterday, but her three boys looked sad. She walked
quickly to them and asked,” what happened?”
“Welcome mum, our neighbor that allows us to play his ball together suddenly seized his ball, he won’t let us play,” Moses said.
“Oh! That..I‘ll get you a ball tomorrow, now cheer up, mum is back,” Amy said, the children cheered up at once and soon, the
girls appeared and swarmed around their mum.
Queen and Angel began to gist their mum about so many things that happened when their mum was not around, Amy listened,
laughed until she got tired. The girls loves to talk and gist a lot except Debby but as for the boys, they love to ask all sort of
questions, childish questions, yeah and Amy does her best to answer all their questions no matter how dumb it was.
They are always curious about everything they see and ask questions about it and she does well to answer it. She loved her
children so much and being with them makes her happy always.
When she was about telling them that she wants to go and prepare dinner for them, a knock could be heard on the door.
