Sam pov:

I groaned as the already hassle in me vied into an electric shock plumbing right through my system. 
I began shaking my leg in gesture of frustration,
I grined while shaking my head along with it..
He looks skyward and lower his gaze to me once more it held a benign indulgence,
"God Sam, I really love u,  believe me and I wou......"
I closed the contract proposal he brought and slammed it on my desk enough to make a sound"
"how rude" i reiterated.

"Respect yourself and get your little butt off my chair, and outta this company along with your faulty proposal,,"

I saw him lean on the chair to steer at my already standing form ....his gaze narrow at me not believing what he just heard .
"pardon"
His face confused as it contrasted the roughness of his cheek with the smoothness of bones at its crown.
The furrows of his brow revealed a newly Obama hair cut showing an half parting line.

He puzzled and shot me a heavy lidded glance once more trying to attune his vision.

"Mr mattew get the hell out" I snapped
He gave a grandiose nod, his voice calming feeling the roguish air into feeble indignation
"am sorry Sam you don't need to make a fuss about th......."

Security " I roared  through the phone and slamming it right back in its place

I closed my eyes with the anger icing down my chest. I hesitated trying not to punch him right in the eyes while clenching my fist.,
I could swear the look on his face felt grounded with embarrassment.,.
He stands feeling all low inspite of his tall frame...
He had no idea he just played with fire

.
His colleague at the other end of the office looked bewildered in dismay trying to catch on what just happened.

Of course he had excuse us both only for this heck of a man to seat his butt on my property and rant.                                            

"Miss Lewis am so sorry I had no idea u werent in a good mood" I heard him say through stammering tone while fumbling to adjust his suit.
"We'll leave like gentle men" my face pick up more frown at the thought on what on earth was taking the security man so long.
 
My face emotionless while pointing my finger to the door ignoring their disappointed expression
"both of you out of my office" I drawled with more stilted anger.
Two security men came in, immediately taking them off guard and pushing them forward.
"Easy man, don't be aggressive we'll walk out gently"
I sighed bouncing back on my chair only to feel the ultrasensitive steer of mattew creating a faint vibration inside of me..
Who cares what he thinks about me .....

Both were wearing  blue suit....sharp-looking, and well-fitted. Exactly the sort of thing a woman would pick out for her man to wear to a formal event.
Of course...

I mean are they seriously telling me they came all the way here looking this handsome all to waste my precious time.....         Matthew., The tall one with dimples and well shaped obama hair style was the fool ..... The brave one,  coming in pursuit of a business contract only to ask me out.. Right here, in my company
What brevity,
"what insolent " I grounded ......
It took me a whole five minutes to catch my breath  propping my elbows comfortably on the arms of my stubby wooden seat and linking my fingers together in a show of nonchalance that belied the disquiet on my gaze.
Of course it was Maggie who looks into their proposal before I fiss an appointment date with them.
I picked up the phone and immediately ringed her.... 

"Maggie come right now to my office"
I heard a knock on my door seconds later and saw her enter... Her gaze darted momentarily down to her hand and up at me... 

She blinked against her catty eye contacts with a dark expression I don't really seems to understand while she scratched the nape of her neck.
Without awaiting for me to speak, She cleared her barely dried throat and speaks,
"yes mam"
I gaze at her blinking against the flicker of anger in my eyes as she tries to avoid the discrepancy in its height. 

"Tell me Maggie, you knew those men weren't here for any business still you gave them a freewill to my office, acting.... Of course you had acted along with them thinking I wouldnt fish out this filthy proposal on my desk right now are fake"

I saw her begin to shake and realise I just had all my answers, "Oh so it's true", I started clapping my hands on the realisation on how easily she had fall for my trick.

"It's true Maggie,  so you sold me out with how much, how much I shouted as the shimmers of anger ran through my entire body droving all thoughts from my mind
"you are venerable and cheap Maggie" I said squeezing an irritating eye
"what if they had come in here and kill me"

I saw tears in her eyes as she realise she had said the word before it could died down her throat...

"I thought they might be good friends and....... "

"I don't believe you could be this impossible Maggie I murmured in disbelief.  "
I threw my hands in the air and let it fall with a slap on the hard wood of my table
"You are fired"
                                                               
"Oh no please mam," I heard her quiet pleads quivers  at the hallow texture of her throat, "

I left her standing while I stomed out of my office feeling all loathed, the need to breath in some fresh air,  and not the airs coming out of that damn AC and the schene with maggie..

They had all spoilt my day.. I raged out of the company with inflagging stamina ignoring the steers of my other staff at the knowing that I just fired Maggie... 

I barely resisted
the urge to pump my fist in the air,, trying not to recall the insolent and disrespect both Maggie and the men had created on my part ,
only to get outside to another immense setting, filling me with a freshly loads of unbelievable anger, 
Haaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuhhh....i shouted with frustration..
