Jane felt red all over, she wished the ground could just open up and swallow her right now. And what does she mean they were both adults? She hope she's not thinking anything in that head of hers? Jane thought to herself and quickly rushed to the door. She opened it, and was about to dash out when Zain stopped her."You are leaving?" Zain said almost wanting to cry. "Yes I have to, we were done talking anyways. I still have a lot to do at home, I will see you around bye." Jane said without even looking at him or Juliet. She's sure she said those words in less than thirty seconds, she just needs to get out of Zain's room immediately.She left the room to look for Chris, after all he was the main reason she came here. She got to the living room and saw him and John sleeping peacefully on the couch. She carefully carried him so as not to wake him or John up.They must have been exhausted from all the playing, she thought to herself She moved closer to the door, opened it and left. She s
Mrs Whitney looked at the girl before her, and couldn't help but not feel only sad she was heartbroken also. She had watched her fight for life so many times especially when she went into labour when she was going to have Chris.She has really been through a lot, that's exactly why she has kept this certain secret from her for the past four years. And she hasn't had the courage to tell her yet at least not now. She continued consoling and wiping her tears till she stopped crying."Now child tell me what happened to you? What happened last night? Why are you here crying?" Mrs Whitney finally asked her after what seems like an endless emotional episode. "A customer tried to rape me" Jane replied her amidst tears."What! How did that happen? You seriously need to stop that job, I never agreed to it from the start." Mrs Whitney said obviously very angry.Jane stood up from the bed, wiped her tears and walked to the window. "But Mrs Whitney, you know there's no any other job around. It w
Zain woke up very early on Monday morning and prepared for his work. He's really enthusiastic more than ever before about going to work this morning And that's because he's going to help Jane look for a job in the company where he works. He doesn't how he's going to do it but, he just has to try. Thinking about working with Jane in the same space really intrigues him, and he absolutely loves it as much as he loves Jane. He took a look at himself one more time before stepping out of his room. Today is really important for him, he's going to meet with the vice president of his company. To see if he can help him with Jane. He knows if he goes through the normal process he's going to have to wait till forever. And he might never be able to get her a job, because she doesn't have a degree. But he believes if he can talk to the vice president, he can help him and fix Jane somewhere. Worst case scenario, recommend her to some other place. "You are leaving very early this morning,
"Zain! Hey Zain! Mr Jonas is here" Sylvia whispered across her desk towards Zain, he had asked her earlier to let him know if Mr Jonas arrives, he just arrived now. She had seen his car move in when she went to get some documents she would be working on downstairs. And she feels theneed to tell him because he hadn't noticed just like he had said. He is such a hard anddilligent worker, one thing she admired about him. And she was telling him not just because he had asked her but, because she wants every opportunity to talk and get close to him as much as possible. He didn't hear her and now she doesn't have a choice but to leave her seat and go talk to him. She stood up and walked over to Zain's desk it was directly opposite to hers."Hey Zain," she called again and tapped him, Zain who had a ear piece in his ears and was so engrossed with his laptop looked up and smiled at her. Sylvia suddenly felt hot all over, she was not sure Zain had ever smiled at her. Even if he did, definitel
Zain had heard of how strict Mr Jonas is, but he never thought it would be to the extent of firing him just because he asked to see him, it couldn't be that bad right, maybe Cat was just exaggerating to scare him off, he's still going to push his luck no matter what."And I'm not exaggerating if that what's you are thinking" Cat voice came from behind. ‘ damn how did she know what I was thinking? ' Zain thought to himself "Is it that bad?" Zain asked. "Remind me when you got into the company again" cat asked "Uhhmm it's been six months" Zain replied."You are still very new, do you want to get fired just like that?" cat asked. Zain was dumbfounded he didn't know what to say anymore "See I don't know what you need from the vice president, but you need to understand that this is a company and we have protocols. If you have any complaint you can talk to your team manager and have him go through the normal process. The vice president is not just someone you can see like that. You can
Sylvia, on the other hand wondered what was going on with Zain today. Is he possessed or something? She thought to herself, Zain had never agreed to have lunch with her or anyone. He had always refused, sometimes he didn't even come down to eat with them. She would sometimes bring him a takeaway, if not that the lunch in on the company. She would think he was saving money, but today he had agreed to eat lunch with not just anyone but her. She was extremely happy and she couldn't hide it, she knew she was blushing right now because she was feeling hot already. He must have woke up on the good side of the bed this morning, she thought to herself. Or was he already starting to notice her and like her back? She thought again "I better not get ahead of myself," she muttered quietly. She would ask him at lunch, she concluded "Hey Zain it's lunchtime," Sylvia said to Zain. It was already ten minutes past lunch time, and she had purposely waited for everyone to leave before going over to Z
"Oh, I see, if I may ask what did you go there for? Cause I heard it's a death sentence if you go see the vice president without being called. This corporation has so many protocols." Sylvia said. "How come I'm just knowing about it today? Thank God Cat was kind enough to let me know, if not I would have being fired." Zain complained. "That's because you never mingle with anyone, you always stick to yourself, and it's not good." Sylvia scolded "Oh I guess that's the problem," Zain said. "I just hope you didn't get into any trouble?" she asked with concern, she wouldn't want him being laid off especially now that they were just getting to know each other. And she was able to get close to him like this. "No I didn't, and even if I did, it would be worth it." Zain said as his mind drifted to Jane, and he smiled at the thought of her. Sylvia felt a bit curious, what could it be that would make him not even mind losing his job over it? "And what's that if I may ask, not like I'm tryi
Sylvia just couldn't come up with any way to get her back from the office, she only had her phone with her, her purse and everything was in there, she didn't seem to have any choice she was going to go in there and face whatever comes her way, she felt a bit calm and more composed than earlier, she splashed some water on her face and made it back to the office.As expected, Zain was already sitting by his desk, he was engrossed with his work as usual, she quickly walked to her desk almost tiptoeing, she just hoped he wouldn't notice her, she just wanted to take her bag and leave right away, but unfortunately for her Tasha noticed her and called her, "Hey Sylvia what's up please come have a look at this for me, I've been waiting for you since we came back from lunch, where did you disappear to?" Tasha accused Sylvia stopped in her tracks and almost cursed. This was the last thing she wanted and needed right now, she just hoped Zain hadn't heard her, But luck wasn't on her side this a
Jane woke up the next morning feeling very weak, she opened her eyes and met four eyes looking directly into hers, she tried to sit up but Mrs Whitney stopped her"lay back on the bed child, you are still weak, do you feel hungry?" Mrs Whitney asked"yes very hungry" her voice sounding almost like a whisper"I will go get you some soup," she said and left for the kitchen"Mummy are you sick?" Chris asked worriedly"no baby I'm just a bit tired, I will be fine, don't worry about me" she replied and kissed him on the foreheadMrs Whitney came back with a bowl of soup and mashed rice, she ate quietly and felt better after eating"how do you feel now?" Mrs Whitney asked"better, but still a little weak" she replied"here take this, you are to take two pills" Mrs Whitney handed a pack of drugs"where did you get this from?" she inquired"Zain got it for you this morning, you were burning seriously, he was here early this morning on his way to work" she explained"speaking of Zain, did he b
Jane was stunned, she quickly refused "no I'm sorry miss but I can't take it, it's too much" "well, I insist, what's your name again?" Grace asked"I'm Jane" she replied"how old are you if I may ask?" "I'm 21 years old" "well just take it as a gift and you can't refuse, it's a limited edition diamond, I won't be wearing much anyways, so it's gonna be a waste don't you think?" Grace saidJane nodded"so please have it and do you have a dress for the party?" she inquired"Uhm I didn't think I would be attending so I didn't prepare any dress" Jane explained"of course you have to attend, you might not be involved but I'm sure your attention will be needed given your job in this house" Grace said"oh I see" "When you are done attending to my brother for the day, come around and I will pick you some dress to choose from, I have a lot I've not even worn at all and you still can't refuse" she chuckled "oh okay, thank you so much miss, I appreciate" "It's okay, you can go back now" J
That must be her boyfriend, Chris thought, well what was he expecting, that she would be single without any guy, but why did it make him feel so bad, he decided not to think much of it and just continued paintingJane got to the kitchen and finally let go of the breath she had been holding in, was he bipolar or something she thought, he had warm a few minutes ago all of a sudden he just became coldEstella came into the kitchen "Have you served the food?" "yes I did" she answered "hmm Estella" she called "yes, you need something?" "well I want to ask you a question" Jane said"Hope it's not gossip?" Estella asked sarcastically"no of course not" "well I thought you've joined the other girls, tell me what is it?" "I'm just worried about Mr Christopher," she said"what is it, did he say something to you?" "no hmm is he perhaps bipolar?" "on what's that?, speak the simple language that I understand girl" Estella sounded irritated "what I mean is does he have like two personalitie
"Mummy are you crying, did I say something wrong?" Christopher asked confusedJane didn't know what to say, she just hugged him"no baby, I'm not crying, I love you okay?" Jane whispered"I love you too mummy" Chris said back"come here Chris, allow your mother to go to work, your mummy needs to go to work so she can get money to buy you a lot of crayons so you can draw more" Mrs. Whitney has been observing the mother and son conversation, she felt extremely sad to see Jane so helpless so she had to come in for her"mummy is going to buy me lots of crayons?" Chris asked grinning"yes of course I will buy you as much as you want" Jane said and rose to her feet"you should get going now so you don't get there late" Mrs Whitney reminded herEven though she was reluctant to go, she didn't have a choice, she needed to work"Okay then I will get going, bye baby," Jane said"bye mummy" Chris happily saidShe muttered a thanks to Mrs Whitney and quickly ran out of the houseShe got to the man
Jane came outside the mansion gate looking very gloomy, she didn't expect him to be like that, she had heard he was cold and arrogant but he didn't seem like it when they were together last night, he was warm and nice to her, he even allowed her to sleep on his bedShe shook off the thought, maybe he was just in a bad mood, maybe he fought with his girlfriend, anyway it wasn't in her place to think about that, she was just here to work, she shouldn't try to get familiar with him and just do her job to avoid things like this happening again, she had just started she couldn't get fired just like that, she needed the money for her sonShe came to where Zain was and tried to smile as much as she could"thanks for coming to pick me up," she said"It's my pleasure every time" Zain said and opened the door for herShe got in and fastened her seat belt, Zain got in as well and drove offOn their way back home, there was silence in the car, Jane couldn't get her mind off her hot bad arrogant b
Jane went to the kitchen to grab her bag, she quickly looked for her phone, she had not laid her eyes on it since last night, she must have had a lot of missed calls, she thoughtShe brought out her phone and saw eleven missed calls, ten from Mrs Whitney and Zain while one was from Gloria, now that she thinks of Gloria, she does miss her and she should have called before now, she will do that when she's less busyShe was about to put her phone back in her bag when it rang, the phone vibrated in her hand and she checked the caller, it was ZainShe was reluctant to pick it up but she must have kept everyone worried about not returning home, so she picked"hello Zain good morning" she said"hey Jane, where are you, where have you been, we've been worried about you?" Zain bombarded her with questions"I'm fine and at work, I worked late into the night and I couldn't come back home, sorry for keeping you all worried, but I'm about to leave the mansion now, I will be home in a few hours" Ja
Christopher laid back on the bed immediately after she was out of his sight' what the hell is wrong with me? ' he thought to himself, why was he feeling so warm inside, he had never felt this way in years, it must be the joy of returning home, he thoughtJane made her way to the kitchen, her stomach was starting to hurt, and she felt like she was going to pass outLuckily for her, there was still some soup left, she checked the fridge for some bread and milk, she found some and took everything in a tray, she would have heated up the soup but she was too hungry for that and besides she didn't want to make any noise, she wouldn't like anyone walking in on her like thisShe made her way back to Chris's room, she just couldn't wait to get there and munch the whole thing into her stomachJane got back into the room and didn't find Chris there, she wondered where he must have gone, he must have decided that he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with her, she couldn't care less, she was j
Christopher couldn't help but study her face, she looked really calm and meek, plus she was beautiful too he couldn't help but stare, and that scent of God made him want to droolIt felt so comforting to be around her, he took the cloth away from her and, placed it on the dressing mirror, she must have dozed off cleaning the roomFor the first time in years, he felt his heart soften, he picked her up in a bridal style and placed her on the bed gently, he covered her with the duvetHe was too tired to even have a bath, he just pulled on his clothes and lay down on the bed but he made sure to keep a distance from herJane woke up feeling hungry and tired, she had a long day cleaning and arranging a lot, this job was much harder than she thought, working at the club wasn't even this bad, but the pay was way too much so she couldn't complainShe was lost in thought until she felt a hand on her left thigh, she instantly froze, she looked at the person behind her but couldn't recognize who
Chris found his way upstairs, he felt different kinds of emotions that night, the kind he had never felt in years, it was nice seeing everyone again but he just couldn't dare to feel or be happy He promised himself he would never try to be happy until he found that girl, only God knows where and who she is and he came home for that sole reason and he was not going anywhere until he did that, even if it took him his whole life to find her, he sure willChris noticed someone was behind him, he was forced to regain his composure, he didn't like anyone seeing him in this state, anytime he remembered what had happened he turned gloomy, sad and cold"excuse me Mr Chris" Estella was the one behind him" oh hi Estella it was you, Do you need anything?" Christopher asked her"no, I saw you heading towards here, I thought you might have trouble finding your room, so I decided to come to help you" Estella explained"oh but am sure I still remember my room they will be no need for that" Chris re
