Chapter 36: Chapter 36

"What the hell is going on here?" Mrs Emily yelled as she rushed to separate them.

It wasn't easy getting the two of them to let go, but she managed to pull them apart.

Erica tried to attack Valeria even after they were separated, but Mrs Emily quickly held her back.

"What are you doing, Erica? Get hold of yourself, for crying out loud." She said, her hands tightly wrapped around Erica's waist.

"No, let me go, I'll kill this bitch, how dare she?" Erica screamed.

"Have you gone crazy or what? Valeria is only a child, you shouldn't be doing this, Erica, have you no shame?" Mrs Emily said, and she let go of Erica, but she hurriedly went to stand in front of Valeria, using herself as a shield.

She was extremely angry at Erica's shameless behavior.

"This isn't about shame, Mrs Emily. Do you even know what this snake did? You aren't right, so you shouldn't be defending her. You should let me teach her a lesson. She claims to be so innocent, but she's nowhere close to being innocent, not even in the slightest bit." Erica said breathlessly.

"Watch your words, Erica, no matter what Valeria has done to you, you shouldn't have let the case go too far like this. You're older than her, and I expected you to show some maturity, no matter the situation, your actions today prove to me that you're foolish." Mrs Emily said, and Erica's jaw dropped.

"Mrs Emily." She called in surprise.

"Don't call me Erica, it's true, the fact that you reacted like this shows your foolishness and immaturity. I didn't expect this from you, and I can vividly remember that you loved Valeria so much when she had just arrived here, so what went wrong, huh? Tell me." Mrs Emily said, quite angry.

Erica glared at Valeria with so much hatred in her eyes, and Valeria equally met her gaze, glaring at her too.

"Happy now?" Erica said, and Valeria frowned in confusion.

"I asked you a question. Are you happy now?" She yelled.

"What are you talking about, Erica? I don't understand a single word you're saying," Valeria uttered.

"This is all your fault you little she devil, this is all your fault, you seem to have bewitched everyone with your fake character, but I know who you truly are, you're nothing but a green snake in green grass, a wolf in sheep's clothing, that's what you are." Erica yelled.

"Stop it Erica." Mrs Emily yelled.

"No Mrs Emily, you have no idea who this girl truly is, you're supporting her blindly because you don't know her, all she knows how to do is lie and sleep around with different men."

"Erica." Valeria screamed in shock.

Mrs Emily couldn't believe her ears.

Erica gave a satisfied smirk when she saw the look on Valeria's face.

Mrs Emily walked up to Erica, and she gave her three responding slaps in a row.

"You disgust me, you don't deserve a place in this mansion, and I'll see to it that you're fired, mark my words." Mrs Emily said.

She went back to Valeria, she used her palm to wipe off her tears, she took her hand and pulled her out of there, leaving Erica all alone in Valeria's room.

"N n no, this can't happen." Erica said in tears.

"I can't lose my job, I can't be sent away from Ergon."

"No, never."

"Mrs Emily." She called as she dashed out of the room with speed, going after them.

****

Ergon sat on the floor in his room, wallowing in sadness, he just couldn't stop feeling bad after what he did with Sheila.

He switched off the lights in his room, he even closed the windows and pulled down the curtains, his room was pitch black.

He could hear the commotion that had gone on outside, with Valeria, Noah and Erica. He had wanted to go out there and defend her, to fight for her, but he just couldn't find the energy to do so. He couldn't muster the courage to go out there and face Valeria.

What he did to her was wrong. He doesn't even know how he'd be able to face her now. Will he ever be able to face her?

"I'm so sorry Valeria, I'm so sorry." He cried bitterly.

"Please forgive me," he begged.

His phone, which was beside him, began ringing. He ignored it, the phone stopped ringing, but the person called again. He had wanted to ignore it, but he still picked it up to see who it was.

He frowned, seeing it was an unknown number, and the curiosity to know who it was made him answer the call.

"Hello."

The person didn't say anything at first.

"Hello, who's this?" He asked.

"Hi Ergon." The person said, the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't really tell who it was, his head was so full right now, and he didn't have the strength to start thinking, but it was a female.

"Who's this?" He asked.

"Wow, don't you recognize my voice?" She asked.

"Look here, it's either you tell me who you are and how you got my number or I'll hang up. I'm really not in a good mood right now, so just fucking tell me who you are." He barked.

"Is it about what happened?" She asked, and Ergon frowned.

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

"It's Sheila Ergon, and I got your number from one of your friends."

"Sheila," Ergon said with gritted teeth.

"You still have the guts to call me after what you fucking did." He said, and he could hear Sheila Scoff on the other end.

"Come on Ergon, don't tell me you're still sulking about what happened, and besides, we both enjoyed ourselves, so just let it be, you're a man and you shouldn't be acting this way."

"You know Ergon, I'm all yours, baby, and I_"

Ergon didn't even let her finish her statement, he hanged up immediately.

"Bitch!"
