Jane got to work at exactly 1:59 pm, the club was just twenty minutes walk from the house.And she walks to work everyday except, at night when she closes. And early in the morning if she's going to work, that is if she's on the morning shift.She was really glad she didn't get to work late, she might hate her job but, she cherishes it a lot. She cant afford to be fired, she got into the changing room and changed her clothes.Which she hates because she has to wear skimpy clothes just to attract customers according to her boss Dante, and she has no choice but to comply.Jane got to work, she has tables to serve."Hey Jane, over here." Gloria shouted from the bar, gloria has been working in the bar for nearly four years now. She has been the only nice person to her here since she started working here two years ago.Every other person snubs her, and calls her fake because she refuses to hook up with guys and sleep with them. If only they know what happened to her but, she doesn't care.
Gloria has been waiting outside for the past twenty minutes, Jane isn't the type to waste time dressing up. It already 9:30pm, and they need to start going home right now.She can't afford to go home so late, she has a lot to do at home. Gloria waited for another five minutes, still no sign of Jane. She decided to go get her herself.Gloria came into the changing room to a very disturbing scene, Jane was already almost naked. Her clothes were already torn into pieces, and that son of a bitch was almost having his way.Jane was really struggling hard."Hey you son of a bitch, let her go." Gloria shouted, the man looked back and gave her a sarcastic smile."You better mind your business blonde, I want this girl and I'm going to have her. I've been wanting her for long but, she doesn't seems to understand sign language. So you better leave." he replied and continued with what he was doing.He was already kissing her all over the face and neck. Jane tried to move but, she couldn't she was
The bus ride to Gloria's house was a silent one, they were both immersed in their own thoughts. Gloria lives in town and she runs in between jobs, her mother died few years back leaving her to cater for two boys. She had to drop out of school so she could work, and pay the bills. That's why she had to do some despicable things so she and her siblings could survive, like sleep with Dante.And even some customers so she could keep the job at the club, she also works at a grocery store here in town. She needs all the money that she can get at this point, there are still some debt she still need to clear off.Like the one her useless father left her, and the medical bills from when her mom was sick, she had died of cancer. ' Ding ' the sound of the bus brought Gloria back to reality."Hey Jane we are here, let's go." Gloria said to Jane, Jane stood up and followed after herin about five minutes they arrived at Gloria's house, Gloria brought out her own spare key and opened the door."C
Jane woke up feeling pains all over her body, she had sustained some bruises yesterday from the struggle with that freak.She really needed to rest, there was no way she was going to work today. Or better still get another job, she thought to herself. She slowly opened her eyes, and studied her environment. This doesn't look like her room, she thought. And there was no Mrs Whitney, and Christopher in sight.Then she remembered she didn't go home yesterday, she slept over at Gloria's house. She got up from the bed, and found no one beside her. ' Gloria must be up ' she thought.She climbed down from the bed, picked up her phone. It was already past 9am."I really overslept," Jane said and quickly dashed to the bathroom to take a bath. She was done in less than five minutes, she came back into the room and her eyes traveled to a gown on the bed. She hadn't notice that before, gloria must have placed it there ' how thoughtful of her ' she thought to herself. She quickly dressed up, and
Jane got home with no one in sight."Mrs Whitney haven't returned?" she asked herself."Christopher mummy is back," she called out, still no response. She called again like two more times still no response, she thought to check with Juliet if Chris was with them. She had tried calling Mrs Whitney twice, to confirm if she dropped him there. Or if he was with her but, she wasn't picking up. She isn't the type that likes going to other people's house, even Zain had invited her over severally. She refused also, now she has no choice but to go over.She really needs to know where her son is she really misses him a lot.Jane walked over to Juliet's house, and knocked. After waiting for sometime that seems like two minutes, Juliet opened the door with her baby in her hands.She just put to bed few months ago, and she's on leave so its understandable why she's always home. "Hey Jane! Good morning, come in. It's a suprise to see you here this morning, I hardly see you around. If not for Chri
Rage filled Zain upon hearing what she said, though he was stunned that she had told him he felt a bit warm inside. She has never spoken to him for than a minute but, still the anger and rage he was feeling couldn't be suppressed, how dare that man try to touch her?"Was he crazy?" he finally asked trying not to sound as angry as he was, he couldn't help but be angry. And he's even more angry at himself because he wasn't there to look after her, he couldn't protect her."No, he seems perfectly fine to me." Jane replied, her reply jolted him back to reality."And he wasn't drunk?" Zain asked again."Not at all, he was in his right senses." Jane answered again."I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you," Zain said with sadness evident in his tone which left Jane dumbfounded. she didn't know what to say, why is he apologizing to her? Not like she had employed him as a bodyguard or something, why is he being like this? ' Jane thought in her head. "You should stop that job it's really dangero
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
"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, 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
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
"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 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,
