Chapter Five
Meria's Pov:
The makeup artist applied makeups on my face as I sat in front of the dressing mirror.
"You look so amazing and adorable today Meria" The makeup artist Mary said as I chuckled.
"You always tell me that almost everyday Mary, and you know I'm really beginning to disbelieve you" I giggled
"Well that's the truth" Mary said
Just then,,,,,,,,,, Nadia walked into the dressing room with her own makeup artist.
She shot me a deadly glare and sighed.
She have always hated me for being the best among all the entertainers.
Though she's beautiful in the face,,,,,,, yet she's never recommended for special dance.
I guess I am not the only one that knows.... she's only beautiful in the face and not in the heart.
I only smiled within me.
"Can't you just stop admiring my amazing beauty already Meria" She said as she eyed me angrily.
I smiled at her but she snorted.
"Oh I just can't dear Nadia..... Though am not supposed to be the one admiring your beauty...... It should be the customers" I teased her as she gulped.
She looked around feeling so embarrassed.
"You animal" She muttered on seeing her crush coming closer.
Actually there is this guy,,,,,,,, she actually likes him a lot.
She smiled warmly at him as he approached us.
"Oh hi Sam" She said waving at him.
"Hi Nadia..." Sam said coldly as she started showing off so that he could notice her.
But I guess it was all a waste.
"You look very beautiful Meria!" Sam said as he touched my jaw.
I smiled heartily at him secretly making faces at Nadia.
Who was dying in anger.
How could her crush say am beautiful instead of her?
"Thank you so much Sam" I said as he pecked me before walking away.
The two makeup artist laughed within themselves.
"He just confirmed how beautiful you are" I teased her as she eyes me, clicking her tongue loudly.
"Oh dear! Is your pride hurt?" I mocked her as she groaned angrily.
"You are soon gonna be kicked out" She said as I rolled my eyes.
"Let's see" I laughed
Just then,,,,, one of the workers came in.
"Meria....!! Miss O sent for you" She said as I nodded.
I stood up to leave.
"I just hope you get fired from there" Nadia said as I smiled.
"You too" I replied as I walked away.
*********************************
I walked into Miss I'd office already dressed in my dancing attire.
I was told she wanted to see me.
I walked in and saw her with a gloomy look.
"What could be wrong?? I hope there is no problem" I thought within myself.
She was absent minded and lost in thought.
"Miss O? You sent for me??" I said as she quickly sprang up.
She sighed loudly.
"What's wrong? Are you OK?" I asked still very much worried.
My heart skipped a beat as I bit my lower lip in anxiety.
What could possibly be eating Miss O up like this????
She has been so gloomy and dull since I got here.....
Did I do something wrong???
Is the bar having some issues?
Thoughts kept running through my mind as she kept mute too.
Like she was reading my mind.
I gulped nervously as sweats rushed down my face.
The anxiety was becoming unbearable so I spoke up.
"What happened Miss O?" I broke the silence
She breathed heavily and deeply before shaking her head.
"You know you're my best dancer here in the bar right?" She asked as I nodded my head in agreement.
Still lost in thought........
"Whatever happens Meria... I want you to know that I will never want to hurt you" She said as she forced a smile.
My anxiety grew the more as she spoke.
"Miss O you're scaring me! What's happening???" I asked anxiously
My palms was already sweaty.
"Here...." She handed two envelopes to me.
One of them was heavy while the other light.
"What's this ma'am?" I asked rather too anxious.
"Open it Meria" She said as I nodded.
