In Piece And Pieces (Completed)

Chapter 8

Daniel lifted his gaze from the unpleasant sight before him,his eyes collided with wide,terrified ones.
The waitress who had taken his order few moments ago stood before him,her face pale,her lips and hands trembling and her eyes wide like saucers. She seemed to be having a hard time,convincing her trembling self to make a move to correct the severe damage she had caused.
'I'm sorry' she stated simply, unable to keep her eyes on his for too long.
'You are sorry?' He returned flatly,anger building up from within him.
How dare she stand there and give him the pathetic word 'Sorry'.
She might have ruined a big deal for him. Hell! She might have ruined his whole life as well. And to think she just stood there,like a dumb kitten and stared down at him,with her head bowed, as if he was a statue and she an ardent worshipper.
Do people this dumb still exist?
'I...I...didn't mean for that to happen'.
She tried again.
'Come up with something more convincing'. Daniel spat.
'Well...I'd like to see your manager,Supervisor, Employer, anybody that is not a stuttering tiny woman who only knows how to say sorry'.
Daniel has gone beyond angry,he was furious.
What in God's name was he going to do with this obviously foolish woman. How could she be so careless, and so lousy.
How on earth does she want him to explain to his manager and Mr. Lawson that a nonchalant waitress had emptied a glass of 'cheap' wine on  his part of the deal?
How does that qualify someone for a role?
He pushed back his chair and stood up. A million thoughts racing through his mind.
The stupid woman stood there,unmoving. Her legs seemed to be glued to the ground.
He ran his eyes across the table and beheld the ruins she'd been the architect of. The papers had become glued to each other and the colour have turned to something resembling dark blue. Reaching out,he picked up the glass and set it straight.
'I demanded to see your supervisor'. He roared and she shrank back with horror.
Daniel stopped in his track. What happened to his resolve not to shout at women?.
'Do you know what you have done?. Do you know what this is going to cost me?. Do you think you can pay for the damages you have done?. Daniel felt his frustration heighten.
Still,she stood there,saying nothing else. She didn't make any move to go call her supposed supervisor. No other waitress came over to know what happened and it seemed that everyone in this stupid place liked minding their businesses and he had chosen a spot at the very end of the whole building.
Her continued silence was becoming infuriating.
Tiredly, he sank back into the lounge.
'I'm gonna have to arrest you'. He murmured, not sure she heard him but from the visible paling of her face,he knew she'd heard him.

'I'm gonna have to arrest you'.

Macy felt her heartbeat slowdown. He was going to arrest her.
She had imagined getting every other punishment, but arrest?. Hell no.
She didn't need it. She couldn't afford it. She didn't need anything that will bring her close to going back home. An arrest would warrant questions about her family and relatives. She hadn't run off and so far away just to be found few weeks later. Her intention had been to stay as far away as possible. She couldn't face her family,not yet. She had come here to get her life together,to heal.
She opened her mouth to speak,but no words came out.
She needed to say something, anything. Cry,howl,beg,anything. Anything that will stop this man from putting her behind bars. Even if it'll mean crawling and rolling herself on the ground.
But still she couldn't say anything,she couldn't even cry.
Then it hit her again. That sudden feeling of tiredness. That sudden need to sit down somewhere, anywhere.
The whole place began to swirl before her. Her vision became blurry and the  room began to fade.
Macy knew she needed to keep her eyes open. She wasn't going to embarrass herself all the more in the presence of this strange man. She needed to fix this thing but her strength was already draining out and her legs have become wobbly and threatening to give way beneath her.
Her eyes caught her employer walking up to them,worry written all over her face. She was saying something she was too far away to understand.
Another man seemed to have miraculously appeared before them.
She closed her eyes then, unable to keep them open any longer and her knees gave way beneath her.

Oops....
Didn't know how to bring these two together and that was extremely haarrrrd 😅
