Chapter 7 - NEED SOME HELP?

Mr Callan was calling her. Had he heard about the news already? Maybe he was calling to tell her she was fired. She wouldn't be surprised. The man has a very harsh temper.

Pushing all the negative thoughts aside, she answered the call ;

' Hello?'

' Aaliyah, come over to my office tomorrow at 7:00am sharp. I have something to discuss with you'

' Sir?'

Aaliyah was confused. Wasn't he going to fire her?

' Are you deaf? Or are you just dumb?'

Aaliyah blinked two times before she processed what he had said.

' Y- Yes sir'

Mr Callan ended the call as he sat behind his luxurious brown desk. He sighed as he loosened his tie. Then, a knock came on the door.

' Come in'

Linda, his secretary, pushed open the door and walked in. Standing a few feet away from him, she said, ' Sir, we just got a call from the Onyx Empire. It was Sir Raymund Edric'

Mr Callan cocked his head to the side as he raised a brow.

' Does he want to withdraw Audrey?' Mr Callan asked Linda who bit her lower lip.

Linda shook her head and said, ' No sir. He is actually requesting a meeting with Miss....'

Linda seemed hesitant to say the rest but lucky for her, Andrew completed her sentence before she could,

' Aaliyah '

Linda nodded and Mr Callan sighed. ' He must want to change Aaliyah from being Audrey's manager'.

' But Sir, if that's the case, he wouldn't want to talk to her in person but will talk to you.' Linda explained

Linda was right. If he wanted to change Aaliyah, he could've just talked to him instead of talking to her personally.

' Also, Sir, he wants to speak with you' Linda added and Mr Callan furriwed his eyebrows.

....

Meanwhile, Aaliyah had drank three glasses of cocktail and two glasses of alcohol. So, you could say she was slightly tipsy.

' Ali, that's your third shot now. I am not gonna carry you home tonight '

But Aaliyah didn't listen. She just downed the glass and slammed it on the table. Jordan sighed in regret. She shouldn't have agreed to Aaliyah's demands.

Earlier, she asked Aaliyah what Mr Callan said to her but Aaliyah instead told her she wiuld know when she takes her to a bar and buys her a cocktail.

Jordan suspected Aaliyah wanted to drown her sadness in alcohol but not too much which was why she ordered a cocktail.

But she was so wrong because here she is watching Aaliyah down her third shot of alcohol.

' Best, I know you're in no state to answer questions but I'm gonna ask anyways, what did Mr Callan say to you?'

' Who's Callan?' Aaliyah asked in a tipsy voice.

' Ugh. You're hopeless. Come on, let's go home'

Jordan tried pulling Aaliyah but Aaliyah pulled back saying ' No!! I want another drink!! Waiter!!!' Aaliyah shouted at the top of her voice for the waiter and he came.

But Jordan shooed him away. ' No, go away!! Aaliyah, come on, let's go! You're drunk!!'

' No!! Let me go!! I'm staying!!' But then, Aaliyah rested her head on the table and kept murmuring something no one could hear or understand.

Jordan tried pulling her again but she didn't bulge. She had fallen asleep. ' Unbelievable ' Jordan thought.

Just then, a voice sounded behind Jordan saying, ' Need some help?'. Jordan froze. It couldn't be.
