Maisie didn't go to work on Monday but she knew that she couldn't push it off much longer so she went on Tuesday.
And when she saw Cathy, she tried to avoid her.
" Miss Williams. " Cathy called out as Maisie was about to turn back.
Maisie turned and looked at Cathy as she fixed a strained smile on her face. " Yes. "
" I wanted to invite you for a cookout I am having this weekend at my place. " Cathy said with a smile on her face and a glow around her.
Maisie noticed it but she was still stuck on what Cathy said " why do you want to invite me. " Maisie asked when she could finally get her tongue to unfreeze.
" Because you are Anthony's friend. " Cathy said as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
" Since when do you care for Anthony. " Maisie asked in confusion.
Cathy looked at her weirdly.

Who he was suspecting was Jeffery but he prefers who he saw. " hello. "" Hi. Can I come in? " Maisie asked Zach who was looking unsure and tensed like he didn't know what to expect. " Err, sure.

It was a good thing that Maisie dragged Betty along. The people who were also invited to the party were not her crowd, they brought a whole new meaning to the word snooty rich people. They all looked down on her because she was an orphan and certainly not a self-made millionaire since she was working for Zach. They made Vivi look tame. " This is why I don't like hanging out with these kinds of people. " Betty said as she drank a glass of champagne " You mean your kind of people. " Maisie asked with eyebrows raised as Betty glared at her. " My parents are not this rich but yes. God, they are so pretentious and backstabbing. " Betty shudders.

Everything flew past Maisie in a state of unawareness that started when Zach suddenly fell on the floor. She knew that she rushed to his side and screamed and maybe shed some tears but it happened like she was watching a movie without comprehending what was going on. She knew that the doctors said she slipped into shock and they had to give her something that made her feel numb which was a joke since she was already feeling numb, she knew that they would have given her something stronger to knock her out but for that they had to get her into a hospital bed and that means she had to leave front of the room where Zach was taken and that caused her to pitch an unholy fit. They settled to giving her something mild and left her in the care of Betty who had somehow remained by her side. Maisie heard the doctor come out and they wheeled Zach to another place which she would have followed but Betty made her listen to the news first and it didn't make her
