CHAPTER 12: A BAD DAY.
"What the hell happened?" Ava asked Kane, wondering.
"I- I missed his address, then I got rubbed ma'am," Kane responded, looking all tensed up. He sure expected the worst from his boss. So he was emotionally ready, but he knew it was going to be a moment of hell.
"Get me John immediately," Ava ordered her driver, as he was still in her office after bringing Kane from where he was rubbed. She had sent her driver to go pick Kane, after receiving the call from Kane.
"Yes boss. Oh, Yes ma'am," he responded, trying to compute himself, knowing that the moment she was wasn't a good one. He turned and looked Kane hatefully, knowing that what he did was out of place.
He exited himself, heading to called Mr John.
Kane stood there, wondering what Ava was about doing. He expected her to scord him mercilessly. But seeing her silence, got him really scary.
"Am- am truly sorry ma'am. I will work harder in other to pay back the money ma'am, I promise."
"Please don't fire me ma'am. If it wasn't your driver that saved me, I wouldn't have been here ma'am," Kane on his knees begging, as tears ran down his both cheeks.
"I was so foolish and careless ma'am -"
"Yes! So foolish. How did I get you working for me? By the time am done with you, you'll regret ever working for me. Gosh," Ava interrupted him. She wanted handling the matter silently. But Kane's words get her more upset.
Kane was pained, at the same time, he blamed himself for being that careless. At this point, he has lost faith. He knew nothing was going to make her change her mind.
But a question popped in his heart. 'How do I pay up the money if am fired?'
"Please ma'am, I am sorry, such a thing will never happen again," he continued begging, as he never wanted to be fired. He thought begging might soften the strong heart of Ava moure.
But Ava's heart was already made up. She does not take carelessness for weakness.
Shortly, Ava's driver walked in with Mr John.
"Good day ma'am," Mr John greeted, as he bowed slightly.
"I want this fool gone and never to return," Ava angrily ordered him. She adjusted her royal blue designer suit jacket, and continues what she was doing.
She never wanted to stress herself on saying anything further than that. That was the height of foolishness on Kane's part. So she wasn't ready for any other play out.
"Please Mr John, don't let her fire me."
"What exactly happened -"
"You two should get out of my office," Ava interrupted Mr John.
Suddenly, Ava's phone rang. She ignored the call, as she wasn't in a good mood to speaking with anyone.
But then, she never plays with her work, so she picked the phone to know who was calling. Holding her phone, she hatefully looked at Mr John and Kane, wondering what those two were still doing in her office.
"Come with me," Mr John instructed Kane, after receiving such hateful look from the boss, and quickly walked out of the office.
"What have I done to myself?" Kane asked, hanging both his hands on his head as he followed Mr John.
"Yes," Ava responded to the call.
"I needed to teach him how to be smart," the man said over the phone.
"What do you mean?" Ava asked, as she was already getting confused.
"Your assistant lost his way, after sending him the address. And I was a bit disappointed with him. How can the personal assistant to the president of Sky gate hotel lost his way to my establishment? So I decided to teach him a lesson," the man proudly responded.
"You asked your men to take the money from him?" Ava asked.
"Yes. Please do not be hard on him. Is actually his first time, and such things happens. I just needed him to learn the hard way, because I knew you weren't going to take it easy with him," he said.
"Oh, I see. Alright then," Ava said, as the man's action pleases her.
"I will have the money sent back to you before the end of the day."
"You should hold onto it, I will have him come over tomorrow," she said, and quickly ended the call so she could reached out to Mr John before sending Kane away.

"What have you done this time?" Mr John asked, wondering why the boss was that upset.
"I was sent to a man with some cash, then I lost my way and lost the money as well," Kane reported disappointedly.
"What! It seems you don't know who you're working for huh? You need to be smart enough around her," Mr John said, wondering what to do.
"I think you should held home for today. I will find time and speak with her, then get back to you," Mr John said, feeling disappointed. After all he did to secure the job for Kane.
"Thank you sir. Such thing will never repeat itself," Kane said disappointedly, hoping that everything will be alright soon.
"How do I tell my mom about this? After spending her savings on me. How will she feel?" Kane said frustratedly.
Suddenly, Mr John's phone vibrated, he reached into his suit pocket and brought out the phone. He looked and saw it was the boss.
"She's calling me?" he asked himself, wondering what would have made her called him on phone. She hardly calls him on phone, rather she prefers sending someone to get him.
"Yes ma'am," he quickly responded to her call.
"Have Kane in my office," she ordered.
"Ok- okay ma'am," Mr John responded, wondering.
"She requested to see you back in her office," Mr John reported to Kane.
Kane nodded his head, wondering why she has requested to see him.
Shortly after, they both got into her office. Kane went on his knees immediately. Mr John stood, waiting to hear what she wanted to say.
"I never asked you to come with him," she disrespectful said to Mr John.
"Pardon me ma'am," Mr John said, bowing slightly and shamefully exited the office.
"Listen very good. I won't have you behave carelessly around me. You should have known me a bit by now."
"Yes ma'am," Kane responded , and nodded his head.
"Now you get back to work!" she instructed.
"Ma'am?"
"I hate repeating myself."
"Thank you ma'am. I promise never to be careless again," Kane excitedly said, but he was worried at the same time, wondering why the sudden change of mind, and what she might be planning to do next.
'Should I asked her why she changed her mind?' Kane thought.
"What! No. Capital No," he responded to himself. He took a deep breath, calming himself so he could concentrate on his duties.

"What the hell is wrong with this lady? Why can't she control how she talks to people? No single regard for fellow humans," Mr John mumbled for the first time. He was really peaced at how she spoke to him, and that wasn't the first time.
"If not for the money, how will I be working for such a rude and bossy lady."
"Is that so?" Lina asked, as she pumped into Mr John while heading to Ava's office.
