"MAVIS! WHAT DID YOU DO? I knew you would cause trouble someday. But can you not mess up my life? The company is dropping us. WHO DID YOU OFFEND?"
You could tell that Sammy was angry when asking these questions. She didn't even care about the full story about why the company was kicking Mavis out . All she was doing was point fingers at Mavis. Believing, whatever happened, it was obviously Mavis's fault . Sammy never respected Mavis to begin with. Her mood was like the weather. When she's happy, she would treat Mavis a little better. But when she was not in a good mood, She would look down on Mavis. Judging her left and right. Now that the company has dropped Mavis and her. Not wanting them in the company anymore made Sammy even more uncontrollable.
Sammy continued with her furious words, "Whatever you did , go and apologize . Get on your knee if you hav..."
"Apologize my foot. How dare you talk to someone who fills up your pockets like that. Can't you show a little respect? Tsk, I don't know why she still kept you by her side all this time. You really a not good for her well being. I have never liked you one bit, Everything about you smells fishy. I should have not given up on making her fire you." ...Dorothy was really annoyed when saying that to Sammy. Thinking her friend was being looked down so much by someone like Sammy really angered her more.
Dorothy then thought, ("Mavis, you should really stop being a pushover.")
Sammy was surprised. The voice coming from the other side of the phone did not belong to Mavis. Sammy asked, " Who are you? Your voice sounds familiar...."
She paused and thought for a moment.
When Sammy was still thinking when Dorothy asked her, "Now talk, What do you mean by Mavis got dropped out?"
After hearing Dorothy's voice again, Sammy remembered why the voice sounded familiar. And she was not impressed at all.
"Oh, it's you. Mavis's tail and bodyguard. Oh well, I guess I can tell you."
Sammy was scared of Dorothy for some reason. Anyone could tell Dorothy that was not one to be messed with. She was best at standing up for herself.
Sammy started to explain, "Okay, it's like this. When I got to the company this morning. I started working on some things waiting for that useless... ehem, I mean... your friend Mavis...cough cough cought....Everything was cool but Mavis was getting late again. When I was about to call her, the Director called for me and suddenly said that me and Mavis don't have to come to the company anymore. When I asked why, guess what that bald bastard said?...."
Dorothy was listening Sammy talking , when she heard Sammy about to call Mavis useless , she wanted to give her a peace of her mind. But when she heard Sammy telling her to guess, Dorothy rudely said, "You want me to guess? Are you so useless that you want me to guess what happened infront of your eyes even when you witnessed everything first hand ? How stupid are you?"
"Why are you being so rude? I just wanted you to guess. That's all." Sammy said that while feeling wronged.
Dorothy said to her, "You and me are not friends . Don't expect anything from me, just do your job and continue explaining."
Sammy got annoyed, "You know what , we are not friends and I never dreamed of being your friend. And I don't have to explain anything to you since I'm not working for you . So, I'm hanging up."
Dorothy threatened Sammy, "If you dare hang up without finishing what you were saying. I'll make you regret being born. And I will make you pay for all the disrespect you've given to Mavis all this time. Don't make me remind you what you did last time. I still got evidence. I'm very curious how life in prison is like. Do you think you will be able to tell me when you come out? Well, I mean if you come back in one piece. "
You see, Dorothy happened to see Sammy doing something illegal. She took a video of it and told Sammy about it. Dorothy said she deleted the video because Sammy was Mavis's manager. That is a story for another time.
Sammy panicked and said , " But you said you deleted it! And i saw it, it was not there on your phone. Do you think I'm stupid? That's an empty threat."
Dorothy scoffed and said , " Yes , you are stupid. Do you think I will get rid of something that good so easily? I kept the back up for just in case you did something to hurt Mavis. I don't think backwards like someone. I always think of every possibility. Do you want me to send it to you?"
Sammy was restless when she heard that and she said, " Damn you! Okay okay, I'll continue explaining. Don't send me that video."
She then continued explaining, "The director said that Mavis got involved with people she should not have. And now she offended someone very powerful . He said they called him not long before he summoned me in. And when he was busy explaining to me , calls came in one after another. Mavis's contracts were cancelled or transfered to other artists one after another. They didn't even mind paying the penalty for bridge of contract. It started to become clearer to me that your friend messed up. Mavis is blacklisted. I'm going to go my own way right now. I was thinking she should apologize but explaining it to you right now, got me thinking there is no hope. I'm hanging up right up now. I have places to be. "
When Sammy was about to hang up she remembered, "oh, about the video....."
Dorothy hang up after saying she will think about it.
Sammy was furious after hearing Dorothy hang up, she shouted, "DAMN THAT B*CTH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WILL THINK ABOUT IT!!!"
Back at Dorothy's house.
Dorothy sighed and when she turned around she saw Mavis standing at the guestroom's door looking at her. Her heart skipped after seeing the look on Mavis face. She was blank.
Dorothy walked towards Mavis and asked, "Oh no Mavis. Since when were you standing there? Did you hear everything?"
Mavis asked, " He.... he blacklisted me?
Dorothy held Mavis's hand and pulled her in the bedroom, she could see that Mavis's hopes were completely shattered. She was lifeless.
Dorothy said to Mavis, "You should rest. We will talk about this when you wake up. "
When Mavis fell asleep,
Dorothy said to herself , (" Why go this far? Should you not be giving her money , a big house and a car when you're tired of her? It's not like she will accept them anyway. But is that not what rich people normally do? Is Daniel just twisted to the point of destroying what he doesn't need anymore? Wait, what if he send assassins after her to erase her existence completely. It would be like this...")
Dorothy's mind went wild with her wild imagination. She fell asleep next to Mavis and dreamed about being a super hero saving Mavis and stuff.
Later that day when they were sleeping. Dorothy heard Mavis's mumbling voice, she was in pain....and her breathing was uneven.
"...It... it hurts.... it's hot...."
That woke Dorothy up. She saw how Mavis was sweating and checked her temperature. She was having a bad fever. Dorothy panicked about how Mavis was burning up. She got off the bed, and started looking for medicine to reduce the fever. She couldn't find the medicine and decided to take Mavis to the nearest hospital.
At the hospital. Around dinner time.
Mavis opend her eyes and asked, " My head and belly hurts, where am I? Do....Dorothy?"
She turned her head and saw Dorothy's relieved yet conflicted face.
Dorothy said, "Mavis, we are at the hospital right now. How are you feeling ? You had a high fever and I was panicking, so i decided to bring you here..."
Mavis smiled gently and and sad, "I think I'll be fine. But why does my belly hurt so much if I just had a fever?"
Dorothy did not know how to start explaining, "Um ... so....well... it's like this"
"Mavis, You almost got a miscarriage."
Mavis was confused, "miscarriage? "
Dorothy sighed and continued talking, "I was surprised at first too when i heard it from the doctor. He said you seem to be stressing too much . And it was a good thing I decided to bring you to the hospital. If i was a second late, you would have miscarried. Mavis, you're 7 weeks pregnant. And you almost lost them."
Mavis couldn't believe her ears, "What?! I'm pregnant? "
She paused for a while and said, " I can't be pregnant. Not with his children. Not now.... Dorothy, what should I do? I don't want to get involved with him again. Maybe I should.... go for abortion.... I ..."
Dorothy looked at Mavis and understood why she was acting like that. She thought for a moment and said to Mavis, "Mavis, don't make that decision so fast. You should think about it. And make the decision when you're calm. You might regret it later."
" And how about you look at this from a different light. Maybe this might bring back light in your life. I heard kids can change someone's life for the better. If you're worried about him you can just make it so that he never finds out about the kids. Your life here might be ruined but not everywhere around the world. You can go abroad start over. You're smart and you still have your savings."
Mavis kept quiet listening to Dorothy, but she was not convinced.
Dorothy continued, " I don't want you to regret this decision later. I even had abortion can be bad for your body. Look, just imagine coming home from work you find no one at home but a empty house. Wouldn't that be lonely? And imagine this, coming home and being greeted by two adorable faces, they'd be your babies, not his."
Mavis asked, "Then what if they asked about their father?"
