My mother once said. Some humans wear masks to hide what they are thinking or achieve their desired goals. Although not all humans are like that, it's just that it's hard to judge if you don't know each other for a long time.
"Good afternoon Mr. Mike!" the man smiled to greet Mike.
"What's going on here?" Mike looked at me; he didn't seem to expect me to be in his office like this.
"I just scolded this woman! Look at her working badly; she makes things even dirtier around here, so I reprimanded her!" said the man; he was so looking at stringing words to lie.
I kept quiet; I wasn't interested in saying anything for some reason. It's like, I'm just going to waste my energy and make the situation worse for me. I'm used to receiving this kind of treatment from my pack.
"That is not true! Mr. Mike, let me speak! My friend just made a little mistake! It was her first day on the job, and she accidentally pushed the mop too far forward. She didn't see this man coming! We already apologized, but this guy insists on demeaning my friend," Terry explained everything.
As she spoke, Terry stood before me bravely; she cared so much for me she defended me confidently.
Mike glanced at me, then turned to glance back at the man.
"Did you douse his face with coffee?" Mike asked
"Oh, I had to do that, because she wouldn't listen to what I had to say. She should be taught a lesson about respecting those who are higher than her!" said the man
Mike smiled faintly; it seemed to me like a terrifying smile. He took a deep breath, then pulled out the employee ID that the man was wearing.
"I would be happy to have you off work for the rest of your life!" Say Mike firmly
"Excuse me? That's my ID!"
"Yeah, you got fired! Thank you for your hard work while working in my office. Please return to your mother's arms, and I will not give you any salary! That's how I dishonorably fired my employees!"
"Sorry Mr. Mike, I just…" the man stuttered to speak.
Mike didn't listen to the man's complaints; he pulled my arm, following his steps to get away from the place. Mike led me into the elevator and led me to his room.
"Why are you just keeping quiet? Can't you put up a fight? What's with this uniform you're wearing, anyway?"
I took a deep breath; tears wouldn't be enough to describe the feelings I was feeling. At least I maintained my pride, which was enough for me.
"Anna asked me to work as a cleaning service here! It's strange when you don't know about what your wife is doing," I quipped
My position is like a concubine who is the first wife mistreated. Only, I had no choice. That's because Anna has more everything than me. Anna has money; she is beautiful; she is classy and power that makes anyone bow down.
Mike approached me; he wiped my face with his handkerchief. "I'm sorry! Starting tomorrow, don't come back to work!"
"Oh, did I get fired on the first day?"
"What?"
"I don't want to stop working, if Anna can get to work, why can't I?"
****
Mike and I argued about work. I just wanted to keep working instead of being confined to that luxurious house. I just realized if I stay in the room, that means I have an affair with Mike.
Mike ordered his assistant to drive me home; he asked me to rest today and return to work tomorrow. I enjoyed the time before night fell, not calm down because Anna came into my room.
"What's wrong with you? On your first day on the job, you made a fuss! You even got one of the employees dishonorably fired! You also came home earlier than your friends! Can't you respect the company?"
Anna scolded me; she blamed me for everything that had happened. I'm not interested in explaining anything to her because I was already wrong in her eyes.
"Forgive me!"
"I have zero tolerance for any mistakes! You think you can live well in this house? just sleep in your luxurious room, eat every day huh? Work if you realize you are very poor, than you will become a parasite in my house!"
Anna's words hurt. She not only insulted me, but also insulted my life. Am I that low in her eyes?
"Enough, Anna! Watch your talk to my mate!" Mike always comes at a later time. Anna's words had already offended my heart.
"And I'm your wife, in case you forgot that!"
"I didn't ask you to make Ava work for my company!"
"Oh, you're just going to spoil this woman? When I'm working hard, and she's just sitting at home? This is not the situation I want to be, try to respect me as your wife!"
After saying that, Anna walked away. I feel guilty about the husband and wife quarrel that happened to me. Who wants to be impressed as a destroyer in someone's household? I don't want to do something like this.
"Mike? Can't I just get out of here? "I ask
"No, you're my mate!"
His tone was so firm that he repeatedly emphasized that I was his mate. I don't understand this situation. However, I could tell that he was my mate from the marks on my body.
Could there be anything else Mike is hiding from me? I wonder how his marriage to Anna came to be?
If I'm the mate, I should have more rights over Mike; it's just that I don't have complete control over Anna.
"I have no rights over you! Even though you're my mate! I was so hurt!"
Mike shook his head; he immediately hugged me and made me sink into his broad chest. Why did he try to hold me so long beside him?
"Can't you sign the contract? I can't hold this heat any longer! I wanted to mark you as soon as possible," Mike asked in a frustrated tone of voice.
"What will happen after I sign the contract?" I said, asking
