Amelia became very enraged and started scattering the whole place, she started breaking and pushing down things, she wanted to turn the whole place upside down as she shattered things, she looked like a mentally deranged person.
Liam and Eve tried to stop her, but she held a broken glass from the flower vase she broke and threatened to harm them if they didn't leave the apartment, but she stopped when she heard her phone ring, she turned around looking for her phone, it was on the floor and it looked broken.
Amelia rushed to it and picked up the phone from the ground, the caller ID showed that it was her boss calling, she immediately cleaned her tears, and cleared her throat, pulling herself together, she answered the call.
"Hello, Ma'am".
Amelia said calmly.
"Ms. Amelia, you are needed in the restaurant, now". Her boss said in an urgent tone.
"But ma'am, this is my day off, I…".
"I know, and I apologize for that but, there's a time-critical matter at hand, and you need to be here, we are short-staffed".
Amelia heaved a deep sigh.
"Alright, ma'am, I will be there soon".
Amelia hangs up and closes her eyes, trying to control her emotions.
"You can do this, Amelia".
She muttered to herself.
Amelia left the new apartment as they had already called security on her, claiming that she was trying to harm them, she left the place dejected but decided to go back home to change her clothes, half an hour later, she arrived at the restaurant she was working at.
She wasn't supposed to go to work today as it was her birthday and her day off, she was supposed to spend it with Liam.
Amelia wondered what was so time-sensitive that her boss wanted her to come to work even on her day off, it better be something that can cheer her up. She thought.
As a waitress, her salary wasn't much, but it was still manageable, even though it couldn't cover all her expenses. She still survives with it, eating sandwiches and paying the mortgage for Liam.
Thinking about it made her blood boil, she couldn't believe that she could ever be this stupid, but well, it was not her fault, right? It's love. The love and care Liam showed her when they were in college made her feel like she was special even though she was just an ordinary orphaned girl, while Liam was the son of a businessman, although not a very successful one, he was better off.
The question that was on Amelia's mind as she entered into her workplace was no apart from, 'why Liam scammed her of her money? At least he would have left the money if he didn't love her, it wasn't like she had enough for him to steal, he collected her money and still cheated on her with her friend, or was it Eve's idea? Seeing the way she wanted to prove that the apartment belonged to Liam makes her wonder. Anyway she has been called upon, and she has no reason to refuse, she has to do something to distract herself before doing something she would regret either to herself or to Liam.
Changing her dull facial expression and tidying herself up one more time, she opened the door to her boss's office.
Amelia was surprised to see two of her colleagues there too, 'what's happening?', she asks herself internally.
Her colleagues being present in the boss's office meant one of the two things, they either did something wrong or there was an emergency.
"Good day, Madam, you called for me". Amelia said as she entered the office.
"Yes I did, good day to you too, how's your day off going?". Madam asked
"It was going well". Amelia replied.
"Haha, until I called you?". Madam asked as she chuckled. Amelia didn't respond but turned her lips to the side.
"Well, I apologize about that, the VIP waitresses, Sharon and Hannah, have been fired from their jobs and as a result of that we are short-staffed, and I called the both of you to fill-in for them just for today as we have important guests coming in, Jane, here will brief you on some things you need to know about serving our VIP customers so that you won't slip-up and don't worry there will be an extra bonus for your overtime". Madam spoke.
"Are you all okay with that?". She asked as she scanned their faces with her eyes.
"Yes, ma'am". They all replied.
"Alright, let's get to work".
Amelia walked out of her boss's office, she wondered who were the influential customers today and why they fired Hannah and Sharon, they probably displeased a VIP.
Her phone rang again as she was walking down the stairs. She looked at the caller ID, and it wrote 'my love', staring at the screen Amelia couldn't explain how she felt or what she was feeling right now that he called.
The phone stopped ringing and Amelia came back to herself, she was turning crazy, she couldn't even understand what was going on. She was just standing on the stairs and looking at her phone, wanting Liam to call again.
Yes, she shouldn't be thinking that, but she loved him, and she still does, even though he is the reason she is this way today.
The phone started ringing again, Liam called once more, this time Amelia picked up but didn't say a word.
"Hey, Amelia, Can we meet? Look, I can explain…,".
Did this man ever love her, or was he just toying with her feelings? Because she couldn't believe that someone would treat someone they loved or had loved this way.
Explain what?
Amelia closed her eyes, trying to calm herself.
"Look, Amelia, I really love you, I will marry you, I promise, but that's if you don't tell anyone about what happened, I know you love me, Eve doesn't mean anything to me, it's you I love…".
This man never loved her! And although he was her first love, she doubts she was his, she begins to doubt everything he has ever said to her, Liam is a jerk!
She never meant anything to him. Probably he was just bored with school work and wanted some fun thing to do in school, and he decided to toy with her feelings, but is that the case? Because one of the things that drew her to him and love him more was that he believed in no sex before marriage, he appeared to her like a responsible and faithful man, just that he was good at hiding his true colors.
"Liam, don't ever contact me again".
Amelia said after coming back to her senses, she hung up on him immediately, taking a deep breath and patting her face. She pulled herself together and decided to get ready for work.
She entered the changing room and Jane passed her the uniform that she was going to wear to serve.
The VIP waitress was different from the other normal waitresses. They had a different uniform, and they were specially trained to serve, they also had to be able to speak different languages, one more thing, they needed to be beautiful as well, but that was a requirement Amelia hated, she was beautiful, but they were using the beauty of young hard-working girls to attract pervert customers.
She wanted to ask Jane why the other two VIP waitresses were fired but as she saw her facial expression and decided to keep the question to herself.
Amelia started undressing when her phone rang again. She looked at her phone and there was no caller ID. Amelia thought that Liam was the one calling with a different number, so she picked up in a rush and shouted.
"You jerk, leave me alone, I said don't contact me again!".
Jane and the other waitress turned to her with a questioning stare as she startled them with her shout, Amelia smiled sheepishly at them as she waved her hands to apologize.
"Hello, this is Kali Miller, from the reception desk, I am calling from the Whitlock's Hospital, the hospital director has asked to see you". A woman said.
"Oh my, I apologize for that outburst, is anything the matter? Is my grandmother not ok?". Amelia asked in a low tone.
"Well, I'm not very knowledgeable about those details, I wasn't given any particulars on anything, but you will get the answers to those questions when you see the hospital director, he will answer your questions, I advise you to see him today, or you can schedule an appointment for tomorrow if you are too busy today". The woman replied.
"No, I will be there in an hour, thank you". Amelia replied.
"Alright, have a good day". The woman said and hung up.
Amelia began to wear her clothes back in a haste.
"What's going on?". Jane asked with pure irritation on her face.
"I am sorry but I won't be able to work, I need to see my grandmother, she has been unconscious for days now in the hospital and the hospital just called for me, I need to be there in an hour, it's urgent". Amelia replied as she walked out of the changing room and back to her Madam's office.
Ten minutes later, Amelia came out of the office, she boarded a cab immediately she left the restaurant and headed to the hospital.
