CHAPTER TWO

*Maria's Pov*

I was definitely amazed, when Raymond said I shouldn't fire Elvis my cabby.

"Baby why did you say I shouldn't fire Elvis?", I inquired.

"Come on , this guy has been working for you all this while. He is submissive, obedient and trustworthy. I don't see any thing he has done wrong", Raymond stated.

I wasn't in a good condition to analyse my decision about Elvis. All I wanna do now, was to get back to work.

The suspension aura kept on bothering me. I was bemused of what next to do to get back to my job.

I know what it takes me to be an employee in Corydon Development Enterprise, and I wouldn't stand a chance of loosing my job just within a twinkle of an eye.

After Raymond had went home, I was feeling so depressed, and was about to go and have my siesta when the door bell buzzed, and I moved to see who the person was.

"Hello ma'am , how are you doing?", Elvis saluted.

"I'm not good Elvis. You made me losed my job", I yelled.

"Oh my gosh! Please ma'am am sorry it wasn't my fault that the cab broke down", Elvis interceded.

"Don't fucken talk to me Elvis. This is all your fault", I yelled.

He kept on pleading and I couldn't resist him any longer. He sat on the couch as I went inside to get him a bottled water.

"So Elvis what the hell are you doing here?", I inquired.

"Ma'am I will urge you not to let this whole thing bother you a lot than your welfare", Elvis said.

"Elvis can't you comprehend the fact that you put me through this mess?", I screamed.

"No one is above mistakes ma'am, perhaps the cab wasn't running at fault yesterday. It was all a surprise to me that the cab broke down this morning. Man proposes, God
disposes", Elvis preached.

"Hey dude, just pray I don't loose my job. Else, I will make life so miserable for you", I said.

"I'm sorry ma'am, just make sure you abscond from severe thinking. If only you don't wanna concoct high blood pressure. You health matters to me a lot", Elvis responded biding me goodbye.

*Elvis' pov*

The life we live is so precarious and dreaded, the philosopher says. "Sometimes you don't need to show up your real personality in new environment just to ensure you know people who definitely loves you."

Am Elvis by nomenclature, a first class graduate in marketing. I came back from London to USA to manage my father's legacy. I didn't know any of his staff by their value respectively.

I planned on what to do in order to achieve this goal of mine. I decided to be a driver to one of the staffs, which definitely is Maria.

She's a good, beauty and elegant lady. I can't deny the fact that I'm in love with her. Despite her arrogance and annoying lifestyle.

Her suspension is also what I planned with my father's managing director.

The cab didn't broke down at all. It's all a stepping stone to achieve my goals.

Long ago, I had a fiancee, I loved her with all my heart and I always tryna
know If she loves me too.

I came up with a pretext of telling her that my father wants to see me before he travels out of the state for a business trip.

Definitely she agreed and I had already made surveillance of her movement by my friends. It was that very night that my friend sent me a sex tape of my fiancee and the rep faculty in our department.

It was such an incidence which made me vow never to fall for any lady in my life. When I came back, I wanna break up with her, but my friend persuaded me to give her a second chance without grieving her indulgence about the sex tape.

Yes I did, but I was such a bloody hell. When I saw Alexia kissing my coursemate on his birthday. I was boiled up with anger and I broke up with her instantly.

I vowed never to ask a woman out. Up till date, I have been developing this phobia and hatred for the female folks. But am bewildered of what makes me having this feelings for Maria.

There was also another epitome of distraction here. Maria has a boyfriend and I don't think she might accept my proposal. Perhaps, she might not accept me because of my pretence of being a cabby.

"Well true love doesn't capitalised on wealth, status or identity", I said solemnly.

I decided to go and see my friend. Since a problem shared is a problem half solved.

"Hi Elvis. What are you doing in my house today, because it has been a while over now?", Rex yelled from the foyer.

"Hey man, never mind that okay?", I said.

"No probs, so how are you doing?", Rex asked.

"I'm cool", I replied.

Rex went in and brought two glasses of red grape wine as we both took a sip by saying "cheers".

"Yes man, less I forget, you haven't given account of your visitation in my abode", Rex said.

"Come on dude, won't you allow me
enjoy myself first?", I asked.

"Oh no, you will", Rex enthused.

"See I have a problem right now. And I don't know if you can be of help to me", I said.

"Gosh! What's the nature of the help? Is it financially or the other way round?", Rex inquired.

"Is not financially, I only need some advice and guidelines on what I need to do now", I elucidated.

I told her everything about Maria as the woman I want in my life and how much I cherish and loved her.

Not also, with how to proceed to let her know what I feel for her deeply.
