chapter 7_ Attitude 2

Racheal stood up and met the old man's gaze, she could tell that he was a powerful man with the aura he was emitting.

She noticed he was staring at her pendant, she also made note of the fact that his car was escorted by guards.

Racheal lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.

Old Wilson felt touched seeing her crying, but what surprised him more was what she was wearing and also that familiar face, he was sure he has seen her somewhere before now.

Racheal wiped her tears sniffing." Uncle are you looking for something I can help you out if you want" Racheal managed to smile at him.

Old Wilson shook his head in response to her question."dear that locket you are putting on can I know how you got it?" Old Wilson asked.

Racheal touched her locket, she never takes it off because she feels her parents presence whenever she wears it.

"Oh this? my parents gifted me this when I was five" she smiled but wondered why the old man was suddenly interested in her pendant.

Old Wilson took one last glance at her."can I have a look" he demanded, Racheal felt skeptical about it, 'he looks wealthy so there's no way he will try to steal it' she assured herself.

She took it off and placed it on his palm, old Wilson opened the pendant and was shocked by what he discovered, he returned his gaze back to her.

"Are they really your parents?" Old Wilson asked just to be sure. "Yes they are but they are no more they died years ago due to an accident" Racheal's eyes teared once more remembering that terrible accident that claimed her parents life.

She remembered how helpless she was the that day, none of her family relative came to claim her that's the reason she spent her childhood at the orphanage.

'wow what a small world' old Wilson thought silently.

Lyra saw the look her coworkers gave her, she was sure that they must have heard what transpired between she and their boss Cole.

Minutes later Cole entered the building, all his employees stood up including lyra to greet him.

Cole stopped in his tracks when he saw lyra, he thought that after what happened last night she would never show herself in his company.

Cole walked towards her, "miss lyra can I know what you are doing here?" Cole demanded with a glare, lyra glared back at him.

"I work here" lyra said calmly which only infuriated Cole the more.

He was angry that she didn't look hurt after their break up last night instead she was looking more refreshed than ever.

He wanted to see her cry and beg for his forgiveness."you are fired, submit your resignation letter on my desk in the next thirty minute" Cole added with smirk.

Lyra opened her bag and brought out an envelope "why later? When I can do it now" lyra commented before throwing it at his face.

"That's my resignation letter" with that she left the building.

Cole was furious and embarrassed because his employees saw that now he can hear them murmuring among themselves in his presence, he could only imagine what they would say and do in his absence.

"Shut up and go back to work" he barked angrily. "yes sir" his employees said in unison.

Lyra walked dejectedly on the road, she was hoping a while ago Cole wouldn't behave so immature by sacking her.

She just brought the letter with her just in case he tried to pull this stunt which he did, so she resigned herself just to save her face from embarrassment.

She was lost in thought on how she could cope financially, she knew how hard it was before she got this job she just lost.

Luckily for her along the line her boss Cole showed interest in her which made her earn a lot.

But now everything is over, she will have to start from scratch again.

Lyra walked into a five star restaurant in a disheveled state, she gained attention as she roughly pulled the chair to sit.

A waiter walked to her "ma'am please this isn't a charity eatery where you'd be given free meals I hope you understand" the waiter impatiently.

Lyra slapt him in anger "how dare you speak to me in that tone, I'm not blind I knew where I walked into" lyra screamed furiously at him.

People casted her glances, she could tell they were all irritated by her present state.

She faced them "well you all think that I'm crazy, yes I'm crazy because one of your so called elite class did this to me, wasn't it enough that he cheated on me now he fired me from his company, I hate you all rich people you never consider the middle class you all are jerks and hypocrites" lyra screamed and talked as if she was intoxicated.

security officials were alerted immediately as they strode in grabbing lyra by her arm.

She gave in a fit as she struggled with them.

"Let go of me you asshole" she yelled at them.

Lyra screamed and scratched anyone holding her. she freed herself and attempted to run but she collided into someone who wrapped an arm around her.

"If you dare lay a finger on her, then you will be sorry" a hint of anger was mixed with the voice....

Lyra looked up to see who just saved her.....
