Kelvin stood rooted to the ground, he looked confused.
She walked to him and held his hand, ""It is good to see you again Michael."" She said softly.
Kelvin shook his head, ""I am not who you think I am. I am not Michael."" He said.
She frowned, ""Are you trying to deny your identity now?"" She raised her nose in pretended annoyance.
He frowned deeply, ""I am not denying anything. I am not Michael, my name is Kelvin."" He released his hand from hers.
""You are not Michael?"" She blinked.
""I am not Michael, I do not know who you are talking about."" He sighed.
""Oh, I am sorry, I did not realize it."" She apologized.
He nodded, ""It is okay, you just mistook me for someone else."" He said calmly and continued his walk down the street.
A few minutes later, he sensed something following him. He tried shoving it off his mind. He continued his walk home but noticed whatever or whoever was following him did not stop.
He turned around only to see that same car.
He stooped, and the car stopped beside him.
""Why are you following me?"" He asked, already getting pissed off.
She stuck her head out of the window.
""Where are you headed Mister?"" She smiled.
He creased his brows, ""Why do you care to know where I am headed?"" He asked.
""Well, I could drop you off."" She replied.
He shook his head, ""It is okay, I am fine, you do not have to drop me off anywhere."" He said and continued walking.
But the lady would not relent and kept on following him.
""Come on Mister, why walk when I can easily drop you off?"" She asked.
He held his head, ""Who are you and why are you suddenly following me?"" He bit his lips in anger.
""I just want to drop you off. You should not be walking when I can drop you off."" She smiled.
He was beginning to get embarrassed, ""Please you can go where you want to go to. I can go home by myself. I definitely do not need your help."" He rolled his eyes and continued his walk.
The lady did not relent, she still followed him.
Kelvin noticed she would not listen to him, so he decided to ignore her. She kept pestering him to enter her car, but he did not listen to her.
She pestered him to the point he could not take it anymore.
He stopped and she also stopped. He held his head, he could neither scream nor yell at her.
""Come on now, if I dropped you off at your house, it would not matter so much, will it?"" She pouted.
Kelvin sighed. He hesitated for a moment and then opened the car's back door. He got in and closed the door.
""Why did you sit there?"" She asked.
""I am fine here, you can drop me off now."" He said sarcastically.
She nodded and drove off. He gave her directions to his house.
She soon arrived at his house. He sighed and muttered some words and got down. He thanked her and rushed towards the door.
""Wait."" She called after him.
He stooped, and he turned around, ""Yeah?""
""What is your name?"" She asked.
""I already told you, my name is Kelvin."" He replied.
""Oh, right."" She blushed and nodded.
""Thanks for the ride once again."" He said, opened his door and walked inside the house.
She covered her mouth trying to stop herself from squealing.
She entered her car and drove off.
""Kelvin? Where did you go?"" Alexander asked, concerned.
""I just went to clear my head."" He said quietly.
""Are you okay?"" He asked.
""Yeah, I am."" He smiled.
""Has Jacky woken up?"" He asked.
""No, he is still asleep."" Alexander replied.
Kelvin nodded and smiled.
""Alexander?""
""Yeah?""
""I think I have bothered you enough, I am going out to look for a job."" He said firmly.
Alexander smiled, ""That is the spirit."" His smile turned to a grin.
Kelvin nodded, ""I can not sit here all day, I will not find a job this way."" He thinned his lips.
""I hope your search is fruitful."" He smiled softly.
""I hope so too."" He smiled.
He sighed deeply, ""Let me be the one to prepare breakfast this time.""
Alexander nodded, ""Sure.""
They both laughed and went to the kitchen.
Katherine arrived at their mansion unusually happy. She skipped into the parlor unable to contain her joy.
Bella noticed this, ""Katherine, you are unusually happy today. What is the good news?"" Bella smiled seeing Katherine in such a good mood.
""Oh Mom."" She held her hands.
""Yes? What has made you so happy?"" She asked.
""I met a very beautiful guy this morning."" She palmed her face.
Bella raised her brows, ""Oh really? That is good to hear."" She smiled.
""I know his house too. So I can definitely visit him whenever I want."" She squealed.
""That is good. At least you now have someone you can crush on."" Bella rolled her eyes playfully.
""I feel so excited all of a sudden Mom, I do not know why."" She blushed.
""It seems you like him a lot."" Bella said.
""I think I do."" She nodded.
Bella led her to a couch, ""Have you met this guy before?""
""No Mom, I met him today."" She blushed.
""So you like someone you just met?"" She arched her brow.
""It is not my fault Mom, it is not as if I can control my heart."" She pouted.
Bella sighed, ""Katherine my dear, you have to take it easy. You should probably know this guy first. I am not saying you should stop liking him, but at least know who he is first.""
Katherine took in a deep breath and nodded.
""Okay Mom. I will do as you say."" She nodded.
Bella squeezed her hand gently, ""That is my girl."" She smiled.
""See you later Mom."" She pecked her cheeks and stood up.
She walked to her room. She was over joyous. She got to her room and shut the door behind her, slumped on the bed and squealed excitedly.
""He is so cute. Oh my gosh."" She covered her mouth.
""He does look like Michael though, but he is way cuter than Michael."" She grinned.
She turned on her bed restlessly.
""I have to tell her. I can not keep it to myself."" She said and walked out of her room.
She went to Anna's room and knocked on the door. Anna went to get it. She hugged her as soon as she opened the door.
""Whoa, you seem so happy today, what is the matter, Katherine?"" She led Katherine inside.
Katherine sat on the bed and palmed her face again.
Anna raised her brows in surprise, ""Katherine, why are you so happy? Since the last time I remember seeing you this way, you have never been this happy."" She said.
""Anna, you will not believe who I saw today."" She grinned.
""Who did you see?"" Anna asked.
""I saw the most beautiful man on earth."" She said dreamily.
Anna scoffed, ""Oh really?""
""Of course, this particular one is very handsome. I have never seen anyone as handsome as he is."" She said softly.
""Oh wow, this is hilarious. Katherine, are you being for real right now?"" Anna laughed.
Katherine frowned, ""Of course, I am serious. Will I just come here and share news with you such as this?"" She folded her arms.
Anna fell on the bed, rippling with laughter.
""You are definitely not for real, Katherine. You are so not serious."" She laughed hard till she almost choked.
Katherine was disappointed and embarrassed.
""You do not believe me? You think all I have been saying is a joke?"" She asked, hurt.
""I am so sorry, Katherine, but I did not mean to hurt your feelings. It is just so funny that you of all people find a guy this attractive."" She giggled.
Katherine was annoyed, ""I should not have come here. This is my fault anyway."" She stood up and began to walk to the door.
""Okay wait."" Anna stopped her.
""Come back."" Anna said.
Katherine went back to bed and sat down.
""What is this dream guy of yours? I mean what is his name?""
""His name is Kelvin.""
Anna's eyes widened in surprise, ""Kelvin?""
"I swear Kev, I love you." A young girl of about nineteen years old said. She was wearing a skimpy red dress that was above her knees, with silver stiletto heels. She was fair in complexion, average in height and had nice curves. Her long wavy brown hair reached her waist. She had honey brown eyes, a pointed nose and rosy pink lips. ""Evelyn, you know what we are going to land ourselves on. Ma'am Pat wouldn't like to see us together. She'll be mad."" A young man with old clothes replied. He was pretty handsome, he had sea-blue eyes, his nose was pointed like an eagle's beak and he had red lips. He was quite muscular. ""Momma is not going to know Kev, it'll be a secret, I promise. This is going to be between us."" Evelyn rolled her eyes. ""Besides, is it money you want? I'll give it to you. Just accept me please. I really, really love you."" She pouted. She leaned forward and hugged him, her head on his chest. Kelvin didn't respond to the h
""What is wrong now?"" He wondered. His heartbeat accelerated, a bad feeling suddenly engulfed him. On getting to the entrance, he saw a group of women consoling Jacky. A white cloth was placed over something. ""Can someone tell me what's going on?"" He asked. One of the women stared at him and pointed to the cloth. ""What is under it? What is going on?"" He asked again. "Grandma is dead." Jacky croaked. He was shocked. ""Tell me it's a joke."" He said in what sounded like a whisper. One of the women holding Jacky looked up at him and said, ""No it's not. We can't joke about someone's death, especially that of an old woman."" He felt a sharp pain in his heart. He ran to the body and knelt besides it. "Grandma? Grandma? Wake up!"" Can you hear me? Please get up, you can't leave me now, get up, please get up."" He shook the dead body violently. Some men tried to lead him away from
Kelvin walked around looking sulky. His head was swelling with emotions. It had been a month since Grandma's burial yet he had no job. Justin. had asked him to refund the money in three months and he had just two months left. ""Goodness, what am I going to do?"" He thought to himself. He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not realise that he bumped into something and knocked it down. ""Oh oh."" He quickly raised it to its position. It was a signboard advertising for the position of a personal assistant. His eyes widened. He quickly jotted down the address and scurried home. ""Jacky guess what?"" He said excitedly. ""What is it now?"" Jacky asked arching his brow. ""I'll be going on a interview tomorrow. I just saw a job vacancy and I'll be going there tomorrow for an interview."" He beamed. ""That's great news."" Jacky beamed. ""So tomorrow you are going to stay Alexander till I get back.""
They got to the room. ""Here is ma'am Anna's room."" She said and left. He sighed and knocked on her door. There was no response. He knocked again but still there was no response. He opened the door a little and peeped. There was no one in the room. ""Should I go in?"" He asked himself. He opened the door and entered the room. No one seemed to be around the room. He looked around and chuckled. This lady had a thing for fashion. It was an all pink room. The walls were painted in pink,the furniture were pink, the bedspread and pillows matched with the walls and furniture. It had a lot of frills and bows There was a canopy bed with pink tulle draping down and a canopy of white voile. The light fixtures were frilly and pink, and even the light bulbs were pink-tinted! A fluffy white rug, lay in the centre. There were some ornate mirrors, and a walk in closet. The sound of steps jolted him out of h
""What's your name?"" She asked. ""It's Kelvin ma'am."" He replied. She sighed and walked inside her room. "Why can't father just leave me alone? What do I need a personal assistant for?" She frowned. Kelvin arched her brow, she might not need a personal assistant but he needed the job and the money. She walked to her study. Kelvin stood rooted to the spot he stood on. He looked around feeling uneasy. She came back with a pile of manila folders in her hands. "Hey, come take these." She said. He rushed to her and took the files from her. ""You should learn how to respond to me very fast and move fast too. I hate slow things and people."" She scoffed. Kelvin nodded, "Yes ma'am." He gulped. "We have a lot of things to do."" She walked briskly to the door. He hesitated. She turned and looked at him, "Are you not coming along? Do not just stand there."" She frowned. He blinked
Kelvin's heart stopped. His face was already bathed in sweat. He tried to reply, but he was too shaky to do so. ""You see? He could not even say anything in his defense. He is definitely a thief and a cheat!"" Evelyn said with triumph in her eyes. He shook his head, ""No, I promise you all. I am not a thief. I can not steal anything from anyone. I am saying the truth."" He said shakily. There were some doubts in Anna's eyes. ""Why would she accuse you of such a crime if you did not do as she says you have done."" She raised her brows. Kelvin put his hands together, ""Please ma'am, you have to believe me. None of what she is saying is true."" He pleaded. Evelyn rolled her eyes, ""So do you think I will just accuse you of such a thing?"" She scoffed. Anna sighed and held her head. This was his first day at work, and she was already hearing bad reports about him. ""You should tell him to leave Anna, he will do you no good
Today was a very bad day for Anna, she just lost one of the best stakeholders she had in her company and to think it was all because of one person! She got home and stormed to her room angrily. She was so heart broken and sad. She slumped on her bed as soon as she got to her room. Tears welled up in her eyes. ""Evelyn was right, he is bad luck. Why did Dad bring such a guy to me?"' She sighed and wiped her eyes. ""I am better off without a personal assistant. I can do things by myself."" She said and closed her eyes. Kelvin had arrived home. Nobody was at home, Alexander had taken Jacky to his house. He sighed and opened the door and went inside. He slumped on a couch, he was feeling helpless. ""Everything was going just fine."" He whispered. ""Why was Evelyn there? Why did she have to come there? I have lost another job because of her."" His voice was choked. He sniffed and wiped his eyes.
Anna was in a bad mood throughout that day. She was still bitter over losing Mister Hamilton as one of her stakeholders. There was a knock on her door, she frowned and got down from her bed. She went to the door and opened it. She saw a maid outside the door. ""Ma'am, it is time for lunch."" She said. Anna frowned, ""I do not want to eat. I am not hungry."" ""But, ma'am, your mother told me to call you down for lunch. She wants you to be present."" ""Did you not hear me?"" She said tiredly, ""I am tired."" She frowned and walked back to her bed. The maid closed the door and left. A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door. ""Who is it?"" She groaned. ""Anna dear, are you in?"" A voice came from outside. She got down from bed and went to the door. Her mother was outside. ""Mom? What are you doing here?"" She asked. ""Anna dear, what is wrong? Why will you not come
