Quit Your Job

Ezra entered the hotel staff dressing room, to change into his uniform. One of his colleagues entered the dressing room. "Ezra, you are never this late, why are you late?" he asked him. Ezra was buttoning up "Something came up, it was an emergency," he said.

"Do quick man" the colleague said and left. Ezra tied his bow, he checked himself out before heading out.

Lalisa was walking around the hotel, making sure everything is in order, no doubt she is truly a businesswoman, she was wearing a plain white suit with black heels, her dress matching her fringe short hair.

Ezra came out of the dressing room corner, he bumped into Lalisa. He immediately bows to express he was sorry for his action "I am sorry Madam".

Lalisa looked at him with disgust, she checked his tag "Ezra", and she reads out the name on the tag. Ezra bowed "Yes ma".

Lalisa placed her hand on her forehead trying to recollect something, after some moment of silence, she snapped her fingers " A VIP customer requested for you, to go out with him right?" she asked trying to confirm. "Yes Madam Lalisa," he said in approval.

"Follow me," she said coldly.

Ezra had no idea what the issue was, he followed her blindly. They both arrive at the entrance of her office. "Did you expect me to open the door for myself? you lowlife" she scolds him.

Ezra bowed "I am sorry ma" he opened the office for her, and she entered the office, and he followed.

Lalisa sat down majestically, while Ezra was standing. She picked up her cigar and lit it up, she inhaled the smoke before puffing it out, and the smoke choked him, Ezra coughed out. He quickly uses his hand to cover his mouth "I am sorry Madam" he apologizes.

"Loser" she scoffed. "Where did go yesterday with Mr. Terry?" she asked acting like Terry isn't her younger brother.

Ezra becomes nervous, he had no idea why she was interested in where they went, moreover what happened between him and Terry can't be said out because he was too ashamed, he lost his innocence to a guy like him.

Lalisa wasn't the patient type "Are you deaf and dumb? speak" she snapped out.

Ezra was intimidated "He....invited me to his house," he said in fear. Lalisa finally confirmed that he was the one with her brother yesterday and he was the main reason why Terry disobeyed Miranda.

She stands up in anger, a hot slap landed on Ezra's cheek. "How dare you," she said in anger.

Terry witnessed the slap because he entered the office at that moment, and his mouth was open wide in disbelief, he felt like he was the one that got hit "Lalisa! what the fuck did you just do?" he exclaimed in anger.

Ezra was the most confused soul in the office, he had no idea what was happening or why he was slapped.

Terry walked toward them in anger, his good mood was completely ruined. "Lisa, why would you hit him?" he questioned in anger.

Lalisa rolled her eyeball "That's none of your business, he is my worker, I pay his salary, I can do whatever I like with him, I can even dismiss him if I want" she said in confidence with no hint of guilty.

The word dismiss scared Ezra "I am sorry ma, please don't dismiss me, if I offended you punish me more, don't dismiss me" Ezra pleads. It was hard for him to get the job, he can't afford to lose it, especially when. he is trying to accumulate money to get an apartment for himself and Heemani. Lalisa smirked as she sees him plead.

Terry looked at Ezra in disbelief "You don't even know your right as a worker" he held Ezra's wrist and drag him outside of the office. Lalisa had a look of satisfaction "I know what to do" she said.

Ezra didn't say a word, he followed him. Terry swapped the hotel room card, entered his suite with Ezra, and lock the door behind him. He let go of Ezra's wrist "Can't you speak for yourself, look at your cheeks it's all red" he voiced out of concern.

Ezra was more than frustrated, he broke down into tears "I can't speak for myself because I need money, I need to provide shelter for my sister, it shameful to stay in my sister's friend's house with my sister, I am ashamed of myself, I am a loser, I am ready to be spit on to provide a good home for my sister, she is also trying, at the point of hustling, she got involved in an accident" he cried out. "Am all she has, she is all I got" he cried heavily, he sat on the bed helplessly.

Terry was shut of words, he can't judge him "I never knew you were going through a lot" he said softly.

"You are born with a silver spoon, how can you understand my pain," Ezra said in the middle of tears.

"You are right, I can't understand what you are going through right now but I will ease your pain" Terry assured him.

Ezra looked at him "What did you mean by that?" he asked.

"Before I can say anything, let's get out of here first," he said and sat beside him.

"What did you mean?" Ezra asked innocently. Terry cleaned Ezra's tears with his hand "Quit your job, I have a better offer" Terry said. Ezra was confused "What offer?" he asked.

"Let's go to my mansion, we will talk better, this hotel isn't safe for you anymore, I can't afford to see you die," Terry said in a worried tone.

"Die! who will kill me?" Ezra asked innocently.

"Let's get out of here first, I know we met not quite long but I believed we have shared some moments, so you have to trust me," Terry said. He was right they have shared some intimate moments, Ezra nodded in approval.

"Now let's get the fuck out of here," he said.
