Chapter 72- Flu
Delinda’s words kept playing in her head again and again.

"But then people don’t even bother to be with you when you’re carrying their kids and delivering them while facing death," she told this to her image standing in the office bathroom.
After washing her hands, she was turning away when Kate came inside and placed her bag on the sink slab.
"I need your help, Marissa," Marissa didn’t answer but waited for her to speak, "Please ask Mr. Sinclair to give the furniture contract to Amir."
Marissa opened her mouth to say no, but Kate stopped her, "I know. I know about those entrepreneurs. But Amir... we are hand to mouth and Amir won’t marry me if we don’t get money."
"So, you expect me to take someone else’s job to help you marry that sleaze bag? Why marry a man when his love is based on such absurd demands, Kate?"
Kate groaned at her remark, "Urgh. I am not here for your suggestions. Amir is regretting about the furniture quality he last delivered. But believe me. He is not as bad. Don’t you see how he gave you the file without any complaints?"
Marissa went quiet for a minute. She didn’t understand about this couple.
Amir had been making dirty passes on her and abused Akari se*xually to keep Marissa off the contract.
"Ask him to take the file back if this is the price he wants for getting the contract. I don’t want anything at the price of the happiness of the people who are here to feed something good to their family," With that, Marissa left her there.
