Chapter 252 The Constant Enunciation
“Who is she? Do you feel that?” asked a friend of Vespera to another one.

“Yes! What is this?" asked the other friend back.

“I don’t know!”

“Shut up!” roared Vespera. Every friend of hers shut their mouths immediately. “You!!! You dare spoil my shoes. Do you have any idea what you just did? You think I will give my shoes to you and wear your pathetic heels? You bitch!”

“Hey! Hey! No need for name-calling!” snapped Vella and stood before Maeve. “She said it was a mistake. She said she will clean your shoes; why are you being a bitch? Which department are you from? Do you even know who she is? Why are you snapping at her for someone else’s mistake? Even if you don’t want to wear her heels or give her your shoes, at least acknowledge that she is ready to get your shoes cleaned. Why are you being so rude?”

“You… will… move… aside and… keep… your… mouth… shut!” Vespera enunciated every word. Vella immediately stepped aside and stopped talking.

“Vella?” asked Maeve and looked at her with shock and sadness. Her friend was scolded because of her. She didn’t like it at all.

“Listen, miss, whoever you are. I get that your shoes are expensive and you don’t want to give them to me. Then let’s do this, I will go to a shop right now and bring you the shoes you want. I will bring the same pair. Will that be fine? Can you please calm down? No need to snap at anyone or call names,” Maeve tried to calm her down.

“Calm down? Same pair? Do you even know what these are? You think an employee of Blackridge can afford these shoes? You poor, pathetic, ugly slut! Even if you work all your life, you can't afford one of these shoes, let alone a pair. I know what your plan is. You will grab my shoes, run away, steal the diamonds studded in them and never come back. I know poor thieves like you. You have never seen such a huge party, never seen dresses like this, never tasted food like this. And now you got to eat every expensive item, so you think you are some rich person all of a sudden. Everything you see here is done by Blackridge. You all just know how to suck rich people dry. You all are just leeches,” Vespera kept spewing poison.

“Okay, enough!” roared Maeve. “Shut your stupid mouth! Whatever Blackridge is, is because of all its employees. Employees don’t suck your Blackridge dry, pathetic excuse of people as you suck them dry. You say you threw this party with Blackridge money. You are not a Blackridge. Blackridge family does not have a daughter. Then who the fuck are you? You must be Vespera, if I am not wrong. You are rich, fine! But who gives you the right to look down on everyone after you spent Blackridge’s money, not yours? If you had spent your money, I could have given you the benefit of the doubt. But you spent someone else’s money and are standing tall as if you earned every penny. What the fuck is wrong with you?

“Okay, let’s just both calm down. I dropped the pie, mind you, by mistake, yet I am ready to pay for it. I will get the shoes clean; I will buy you a new pair. Can you stop talking out of your ass and stop being rude?”

“You… dare!!! Girl! Tell me how badly you want me to kick your ass. Tell me how badly you want me to punish you. Just tell me how badly you want me to fire you?” roared Vespera.

“Heh? What? What are you talking about? That makes no sense! Why would I tell you how badly I want to be fired? And no one can fire me. You are stuck with me. You fire me, I take my AI programme with me,” smirked Maeve.

“Shut up!” shouted Vespera. She removed her mask and threw it at the floor. Maeve saw pure fury in her eyes, even a slight murderous intent. “When I ask someone to keep their mouth shut, they never speak before me. You dare… talk back to me!! From this very moment… you will never open your mouth before me. You will lower your eyes and always bow before me. After I am done torturing you, I will fire your ass on my own. I will see who dares stop me!! Now get down on your knees, and lick my shoes clean. Use your sharp tongue for the job it was made for. Tell me how badly you want to serve me. Lick my shoes, woman!”

Maeve looked at Vespera with furrowed eyebrows. She tilted her head and realised that the person Vespera showed the world was a fake one. Every magazine, every newspaper only praised her for being a polite, humble, sweet, smart girl who would help Thorin make the Blackridge Corporation even greater. But the woman standing before her was a rude, arrogant, classist who thought poor people were beneath her.

“Lick your shoes? Ha-ha, what do you think this is a real royal ball, and you are some princess, and everyone will just bow down to you? What are you, childish? Grow up!” scoffed Maeve and folded her arms over her chest.

“Wha…t? Ho…w?” stammered Vespera.

“Go clean your shoes on your own. And yeah! Fuck you!” smiled Maeve and started walking away when Vespera grabbed her arm and yanked her back. “Hey!” shouted Maeve in anger.

“I told you to clean my shoes. Use… your… tongue… clean… my… shoes!” This time Vespera enunciated just like she did with Vella. But Maeve jerked her hand away and stood before her with furrowed brows. Maeve realised that her brows must be hidden behind her black mask.

“Are you out of your mind? Did your parents drop you on your head when you were little? Or did you come out of your mother’s womb, different?” mocked Maeve.

“You… bitch! Did you not hear me… clean my shoes with your tongue. Kneel down! Obey me!” snapped Vespera.

“Okay, you have officially lost your mind! I am out of here. I am done! You and Thorin Blackridge can go fuck yourselves. You both deserve each other!” yelled Maeve and again tried to walk away.

But Vespera was not done. “Why… why is it not working on you??? Fine! fine! Then I will show you!” roared Vespera and lifted her hand to slap Maeve.

“Vespera! Let it go! She just made a mistake!” said one of her friends, but Vespera was not ready to listen.

Maeve blinked her eyes; she was ready to grab Vespera’s hand. She was done getting bullied. She had left that life behind. Now, no one had the power to bully her. She lifted her hand too. Vespera’s hand was getting closer and closer. It was coming near her face. Maeve was ready too, but at the very last second, two tall, handsome men came running, and one of them stood between Maeve and Vespera and stopped Vespera’s hand midway.
