Get Down On Your Knees And Apologize

What have I done? My heart kept racing frantically as I walked hastily to the locker room.

 I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have hit him. Liam! The Liam Henderson! The billionaire!!! I feel like crying. My life is finished! I am so screwed!!

I have always known my temper would be the end of me one day and that day has finally come but it's not entirely my fault though. Why will he touch me like that? And what's that hard, long thing in his pants pressing on my ass hole like some iron rode? Is that his genitals?!

Disgusting!

He didn't even know who I was yet he held me in such an intimate manner. What was he expecting?  Even though the slap was more like a reflex action he truly deserved to be hit but if that I knew it was him I wouldn't have hit him not because I am one of those his foolish fans that are crushing on him but because I know the consequences and implications of messing with the high and powerful of society and he and his family are sitting at the very top.

I am sure I would lose my job as I didn't only hit him but his girlfriend also. There is no possible way he would let that slide without seeking revenge.

“God! Amelia you so stupid. So, so, so stupid" I covered my face, cursing myself frustratedly as I sat down on the bench.

I should go back to his room and apologize to both of them... No, that will be pointless. It will only make him see me as weak and I might even face far worse punishment from him. I should just wait and watch what he will do. Though it would hurt but I can always get another job but what if he decides to sue me like his girlfriend had suggested? How can I possibly win the case? I would be locked up forever then...

I sat down there on the bench feeling restless and thinking of how I could have done things differently when my co-worker Vivian  came to meet me.

”What's wrong?" She asked, always the observant one as she brought me out of my troubled thoughts.

“I am dead," I responded and honestly I do feel dead inside.

“How can you be dead and yet be talking to me, huh? Or are you a ghost??" She asked, then made a silly attempt to touch my arm.

“See, my fingers didn't pass through your flesh. You ain't a ghost that also means you ain't dead," she concluded.

“I will soon be," I said and I myself could hear the fear in my own voice.

Vivian 's expression became serious as she sat down next to me. “What exactly is the problem? Is your step mom or siblings troubling you again?" She asked, her tone showing her sincere concern.

“I wish they were. That would have been better. This is far worse," I stated and my mind went back to the scene when I slapped both Liam and his girlfriend.

Gosh! Reliving it was just making it even worse.

“Tell me what happened. You are making me really worried," Vivian  said curiously and even though I haven't yet told her anything her expression was already showing signs of fear and panic.

“I slapped Liam," I said softly, almost too scared to say his name out.

Vivian 's expression first went blank as she reached for her pocket and bought out her phone.

”What are you doing?" I asked with a confused expression but she didn't pay me any attention as she placed all of her focus on her phone as if she was searching for something very important.

She finally took her face from her phone after some seconds as she raised the phone to my face. On the screen there was a picture of a man, not just any man but Liam.

“Is this the Liam you slapped?" She asked and I nodded.

“Yes," I said softly but my heart almost gave up as Vivian  spontaneously and unexpectedly screamed out like she had just seen a ghost.

“You did what?!" Her eyes showed great shock.

“Tell me this is a joke. Tell me this is some kind of prank. That's it, you must be pranking me. Really funny," she said laughing.

I guess what I did was so unthinkable her brain is just refusing to process it as reality and this was kinda making me really scared for myself.

“You see why I said I am dead," I said, with my worries and sincerity clearly seen in my face.

“Truly you are dead," Vivian  agreed with me as she realized this was no joke or prank.

She went on and asked me how it happened and I narrated everything to her...

“You really are crazy. You didn't only slap him but the lady with him as well?!" Vivian  said in a tone mixed with amusement, admiration as well as dread.

”Yeah,” I chuckled slightly, remembering their funny expressions when I slapped them.

“But the girlfriend was the one that hit me first though plus she was just coming up with false stories saying I was the one that was being inappropriate with Liam and that's just not true," I said with a slight frown as I was getting upset just thinking about her false accusations.

“First of all that lady is not Liam's girlfriend," Vivian  said with much confidence.

“How are you so sure?" I asked.

“It's common knowledge. Liam doesn't have a girlfriend he doesn't even date," she said and my brows raised up in shock.

“Who then is she?" I asked, fueled by curiosity.

“I don't know. She might be someone else's girlfriend or wife but definitely not his. Almost every lady in South Korea wants to get laid by him. So she can be anybody really," she said and my face squeezed up in disgust.

“Gross! I don't even know what they see in him, even my step sister, Sang hee has her room covered with his pictures and posters. Just so annoying!" 

“Well he is handsome, rich and famous. I guess these are the things people see," Vivian  said and I rolled my eyes.

“He is not that handsome," I said and Vivian 's eyes dilated.

“I am not so sure about that. He might be an asshole but the man is one very fine specimen," Vivian  said and she is always one to tell the truth.

“Whatever." 

Though I hate to admit it. The bastard is actually very good looking but his character is equally as ugly.

We both went quiet for a while and the whole situation was weighing heavily on my chest.

“So what will happen now?" Her soft tone was laced with concern and apprehension and I let out a weak sigh.

“Most likely I will get fired. Worse case scenario I will end up being put behind bars as well," I said with a smile, in a feign attempt to hide my fear and worries but I was sure Vivian  could see through all that as she suddenly embraced me.

“Let's pray none of that happens. I don't want to lose you," she said, still in each other's embrace and a tear almost escaped my eyes but I found her welcoming scent and warmth comforting and soothing.

Just then a short, slender lady with a mean look walked into the locker room and called my name to get my attention. I instantly recognized her as my boss's secretary, Lisa.

”The boss wants you in his office now!" She went ahead to pass her message rather forcefully but didn't leave as she stood there at the doorpost as if she had been ordered to escort me.

Discontinuing from the hug I bidded Vivian  what is looking like my final goodbye in this company and my heart broke when I saw little teardrops form in her eyes.

”Take care of yourself, will you?" I told her but she looked too emotional to respond.

Standing up I left with Lisa to my boss's office.

“Are you sure she is coming?" I said impatiently to the hotel manager.who sat in the visitor seat while I sat on his official office chair with my legs closed on his table to show my complete dominance and Hela stood proudly beside me, her hands resting on my shoulders.

“I have already sent my secretary to fetch her. She should be here any minute from now," the super tensed hotel manager replied.

I mean the whole place is fully air-conditioned but he was sweating furiously like someone who had just finished running a marathon race to the point his whole suit was soaked and he had to remove it. 

I wonder what is causing his tension? We are just having a cordial conversation.

“If she is not here in the next one minute I will make sure to close this hotel and the various other branches," I threatened with a menacing voice and I couldn't help but smile inwardly as I saw the horror in his eyes and the sweet from his forehead pulled down more rapidly.

“P..Please don't do that Master Liam. I have a family to feed. She will be here soon I promise," he said in a scared, stuttering tone and then he picked up his phone and started barking orders to my effect.

“You are truly amazing brother Liam," Hela whispered praises in my ear and a sly, proud smile formed on my cheek.

Of course I don't really plan on closing down the hotels, not that I can't. I most definitely can but that's not necessary. I just need to put that fear in his heart so he will do what I need him to do.

Shortly after that cleaning lady, Amelia, who dared to slap me, walked into the office and as soon as the hotel manager saw her he rose from his chair and began shouting and raining curses on her.

“You little brat. Am I paying you to be beating up my highly reputable clients? Do you want to ruin my life?! Do you know who this is?!..." 

Very good. I was loving the way he was shouting at her and the helpless, humbling expression on her face. It was priceless!

“I am sorry Mr. Fred but it's not my fault. He was behaving inappropriately with me.." she was saying when he abruptly cut her off.

“I don't want to hear it! You are in big trouble young lady. First thing first. You will have to apologize to Mr. Liam and this beautiful lady you slapped!" Mr. Fred ordered and I could see the struggles in Amelia to obey. It was almost as if it was a torture to her.

She must have a lot of pride, this one but I am going to make sure I break her spirit so she realizes where she truly belongs- the gutters!

“I am so_" she was about to force herself to apologize before I interjected.

“Wait. I won't take just any kind of apology. For what she did she has to go down on her knees to apologize before I will accept," I said slyly, wanting to humiliate her just like she did me when she slapped me.

“Yes. The silly girl must knee down," Hela echoed along.

”You heard them. What are you waiting for? Go down on your knees and apologize to them!" The hotel manager urged her on.

Honestly the hopeless look on her face was very satisfying and I was eagerly waiting for that moment she would swallow her pride and go down on her knees to apologize. The foolish girl looked like she was about to cry.

Oh yes. I think I have just broken her spirit.
