AT MEGA HIT ENTERTAINMENT NEWS,
LUXEMBOURG CITY.
Marigold sat on her desk as she was getting ready, she had made sure that her work station was dust free and the books that was placed on the desk was organized.
She was still getting herself settled when she heard some murmurings among her co-workers, she raised her head as she frown on seeing Melanie, one of her co-workers who can't help but to ensure that her stay here wont be a peaceful one.
"What's it Melanie"
She asked
"Marigold or whatever you call yourself, I ain't here to exchange words with you, I only came to inform you that Mr Vincent want you in his office right now"
Melanie responded and walked away from her desk.
Marigold let the breath that she held escaped, truth to be told she hates having an heated argument with Melanie.
Why!! because the lady Melanie is a rude brat and someone who is in a much higher position than she could ever be.
Sighing once more, she got up and made way towards Mr Vincent office and on getting there she realized that Mr Vincent isn't the only one in there.
"Great"
She muttered
Knocking on the door, the noises in which she had heard died down
"Sir, Melanie informed me that you asked for me"
"Come in"
Came the voice of Mr Vincent and she organized herself regaining her confidence before she made way into the office.
She was indeed right, Mr Vincent wasn't the only one in there, about four people (males) excluding him was at the office.
Three among the people who was on their feet and was dressed in a black suit along with a shade turned their heads to her direction when she had come in, while the other who was seated had his back at her as he stared at his phone.
She silently cleared her throat and made it to where they were all conversing.
Mr Vincent looked at Marigold before he stood up
"It looks like you have a visitor, I'll leave you two"
Marigold began to wonder who the man who had backed her was that made Mr Vincent fidget.
Yes he had did so although he had tried to hide the fact that he was afraid, she had noticed the way the beads of sweat formed around his forehead, the way his hands shook along with the fact that he was careful with his words.
And then it dawned on her
The Mr Vincent she knew isn't afraid of anyone except the one who had the ability of ensuring that he will be stripped from his position and won't be able to do anything about it.
And the person in particular would have to be a Don'diego as it is only their family that wield so much power.
Along with that, the person seated on the seat couldn't be Mr Leonardo Don'diego as he had a young and athletic structure and his hair wasn't the usual gray but black.
That means the person is no other than Alexandrine Don'diego.
Immediately that thought came running through her head, Alexandrine who had his back turned against her swiveled the chair towards her direction.
Right now they were staring at each other, hers was that of nervousness while his was cold, dark and no atom of void could be seen in it.
She gulped down her saliva as she realize that she was alone in a room with the young man.
"Good day sir''
She greeted but he didn't responded as his gaze was on her, after what seem like eternity to Marigold.
He spoke
"Why did you do it"
She was confuse on what he was asking
"Do what Sir"
He scoffed at her question or rather at her response which got Marigold gulped down nothing but her saliva
"Are you gonna stand there and pretend that you don't know what I'm talking about young lady"
His voice was stern and loud which got Marigold startled as she realized that she was in trouble although she didn't know what exactly she had done
'Now I understand the reason why Mr Vincent was in that state when she had arrive'
The thought came to her
"I do not understand what you are asking, the last time I checked, I haven't done anything worth your anger so can you state…..''
"Why the fuck did you have to confirm the rumour"
He stated and Marigold bit her lips preventing the 'ohh that' that wanted to escape.
"It was your dad that gave me the go ahead to do so, in fact I never went to meet him to request for an interview, he was the one that had reached out to me through my boss"
Alexandrine chuckled lightly as he found what she had said amusing which got Marigold wondering if what she had said was funny to the ears.
"I know why you did it, you want to take your revenge on me, don't you miss Marigold Hosseini"
He said
Marigold sighed as she secretly rolled her eyes
"What would I gain sir if i had done this"
"You do know that I should be the one asking you this question, what do you gain in ensuring that you ruin my life by making me get married to that god forsaken lady"
Marigold was taken aback by what he had referred Sabrina as,
'does he really detest this lady'
That was her thought
"I'm sorry sir had never intended for it to happen, your grand dad gave me the affirmation, I didn't know you didn't consent to it"
"How would you know when you are just a lady who came from a very uncivilized and poor background and have to leave her life as a slut before she can finally raise enough money to bring her to the city"
He shouted at her
Marigold who had never expected it stared at him shocked and dumbfounded.
What he had said wasn't a lie neither was it a truth.
"You're shocked aren't you, so I was when I had my private investigator run a background check on you, I had thought that you were quite different from the ladies I had come in contact with but I was wrong, you are worse than them, can't believe I had shared a kiss with a thing that have been tagged as a community slut"
Marigold who had tried to hold back the tears that had threatened to drop couldn't any longer.
She let it strolled her cheeks as she stared at him.
"I won't stand here and watch you insult me, you have no right to do so, what if what you had said was true, I never ask you to share a kiss with me, did I…..I never ask you to have a great expectation of me, did I…So what if I was a slut that was my past and you have no right to use that against me"
He scoffed as he glared at her.
"You are in no condition to raise your voice at me young lady, you should know what I can do if you dare to disrespect me"
She gave a slight chuckle as she wiped her tears and forced a smile on her lips
"Sir if you are done with what you had said, I would like to leave"
"I'm not done with what I have to say miss Marigold, you'll have to solve the problem that you created"
He said
"Well with all due respect I can't do such, I'll like to take my leave and thanks for what you had just said"
Marigold responded and turned to leave.
"You won't dare walk away from me, I'm sure you still care about the job and won't like to return to the hell of a previous life you had"
She halt on her tracks.
"I thought as mu..."
He hasn't completed her words when she walked out of the office leaving him speechless
"Did she just walk away from me….she just walk away from me"
He scoffed as his eyes was on the door that she had just walked out from.
His phone rang, he stared at the ID to see that it was his girlfriend, Priscilla.
Answering the phone call, he leaned towards the office table on hearing her sobs.
"Alexandrine, what is it that I'm hearing about you and a so called Sabrina, tell me that it isn't true, tell me you ain't leaving me for her"
He sighed
"Priscilla, I can't give you a reply to your question but be rest assured that I will sort this out okay"
"How can you sort it out Alexandrine, your grandpa confirmed it and you should know that whatever your grandpa make up his mind to do, he will surely do it, wasn't he the reason why you had to travel to Africa against your wish"
Priscilla asked
"I'll find a way Priscilla okay"
He responded
"Okay then I believe you, remember Alexandrine I can't loose you, I swear I'm gonna loose my mind if I do"
Priscilla said
"You aren't gonna loose me neither are you going to loose your mind okay"
He responded and this got Priscilla to heave a sigh of relief.
"Okay then, I was getting ready for my shoot, I'll leave you to your business cos I know you are very busy at the moment"
And with that, she ended the call.
The door came open revealing Mr Vincent who had gulped down his saliva.
"I thought you weren't in the office since miss Marigold had left"
Alexandrine only sighed and made his way out of his office to receive the stares of the workers.
'I wonder what had trnspired between Mr Alexandrine and miss Marigold'
'What ever it was, it didn't end well for Marigold, the lady was literally in tears'
'I feel so sorry for her, I think it might have cost her the job'
The mutterings among the co-worker resounded in his ears but he didn't give a shit about it as he made his way towards the elevator.
Among the co-workers, Melanie stood with her hands folded as a sly and dangerous smile curled her lips.
"After this incident Marigold, I'll ensure that you never step your feet into this organization any longer"
She swore to herself.
