Chapter 57

• "You…Sam! You are the boss? " Emma stammered with shock spread across her face. She had never thought that Sam was the owner of the club she had been working at all this while. He never told her and now she's stunned. No wonder he barely talks about his business. She thought. "Listen Emma. Listen to me. " Sam said trying to calm her down demonstrating with his hands while she ran outside leaving Larry and Mc. Bryan in the VIP lounge. "Wait Emma. " Sam called out while hurrying after her. She stood outside the bar rubbing her body. It was a cold evening. "You never told me. Why? " she screamed at him. "There was no need to. " he said. "No need to? " she queried. "So if you didn't attack Larry you wouldn't have revealed to me who the boss was? " she screamed. "Ok. " she continued. "I don't know why or what your reason was and I don't want to know why you hid your professional identity from me. Right now, you need to apologize to Larry. " she said. "You are not serious. " Sam told her chucking loudly. "Why will I apologize to that clown? " he protested. "He is a new guy Sam. He messed up. It wasn't his fault that the rattling sound from one of the guys scared him. " Emma tried to explain. "He almost ruined my business. " Sam argued. "Do you know what would have happened if I wasn't there to intervene? " he said pointing to the VIP lounge.
• "I am sorry one of your top customers got his clothes ruined with vodka but Sam let's be rational here. " Emma insisted. "If you don't want to apologize to him then fine don't do it but note that I will quit from this day. " revealed Emma. "What? " Sam said in a surprised tone. "You'll resign because some random guy poured Vodka on my top customer and I wouldn't apologize? Come on Emma you must be joking. " said Sam. "Sam. I am not joking. Apologize to Larry or I quit. " she maintained. "What is wrong with you? " asked Sam. "I can't work for a man who has no sympathy or good human relations. " Emma declared. "Listen Sam. Apologize or I quit. " she added. "I know why you want to quit. " Sam said. "You are quitting not because of Larry but because I kissed you right? " added Sam looking into her eyes. "You must be crazy man. " she said. "Who do you think you are? " she thundered. "That kiss meant nothing after all you were the one that kissed me. I will never wish for such to happen. " She barked at Sam.
• "Listen Sam. " Emma said in a lower tone trying to maintain her cool. "You can manage your business whichever way you want it. I don't bloody care. I am leaving this job and there's nothing you can do about it. " she said and turned to leave while Sam stood in her way. "You can't leave. " he said in an authoritative tone. "You won't. " he added. She giggled and said "Who the hell do you think you are? My husband? " "You are not even my boyfriend. " she added and pushed him away. She went inside the club, grabbed her bag and hurried outside after giving some directives to Larry. Sam stood by the corner without uttering a word. Suddenly a cab pulled over, she hopped in and left.
