CHAPTER SIX
šBRIANNAš
The rest of my shift at the club passed by in a blur with my mind replaying my conversation with Mr Cole over and over again. The customers soon started exiting the club and in few minutes the club was already empty with only the employees tidying the place up.
By 11:45pm Cherry and I were out of the club and walking towards the direction of my house when she brought up the conversation between me and Mr Cole which I didn't want to talk about.
"What's up with you and the boss?" She asked as we walked.
"Nothing,why do you ask?" I questioned.
"Well I couldn't help but notice that your mood turned sour after whatever conversation the both of you had." She replied
"The truth is that he has been bothering me from the time
I'm sorry I didn't update quickly. We have an issue with electricity in my area.
CHAPTER SEVEN šBRIANNAš I sighed immediately I read the short note. I thought I could pull it off coming to work late without him knowing but turns out I couldn't. I walked out of my office breathing in and out nervously and stopped right in front his office. I knocked on the door and I heard his deep voice tell me to come in. I breathed in and out to calm my nerves before opening the door and stepping into the office. When I entered the office my jaw dropped. The office was simply beautiful and unique. Mr Adrian was sitting on a black leather turning chair and in front of it is a large brown modern mahogany desk,two turning chairs are in front of the desk. I looked around again and there were two bookshelves filled with books situated on both sides of Mr Adrian's chair. The office is painted in brown and cream color making it look amazing. At the far end of the room were
CHAPTER EIGHT **BRIANNA** The elevator got to the last floor in some minutes. I exited and strode towards Mr Adrian's office and knocked on the door. I heard his deep voice tell me to come in before I opened the door and stepped into the office. I walked to his desk and dropped the cup of Latte on it. He raised his head from what he was doing and lifted his eyebrow in a questioning manner before his eyes drifted to the cup of hot steaming Latte. He scrunched his nose up in disgust before asking. "What the hell is this?" He asked in an irritated manner. "Your coffee as you requested sir." I replied with a smile on my face. "I don't like Latte. You just went ahead to order anything you like without asking for what I liked like a know-it-all." He stated and the smile on my face faltered. "Sorry
CHAPTER NINE **ADRIAN** I smirked as I watched Brianna step out of his office. She doesn't know what awaits her if she walked out of the building. A few moments after she stepped out, Manuel marched into my office. With the look on his face I knew he had met Brianna on his way in."Wasn't that the iron lady from the restaurant? The one that kicked your dick?" He mused."She is the one. I told you I would hire her so that I'll get my revenge on what she did to me at the restaurant." I replied."When I saw her she was mumbling something like: *if only I didn't need money,I'd have beaten him to a pulp* with an angry frown on her face. She didn't even know someone was in the elevator with her,I guess whatever you sent her to do must have made her annoyed." He stated. I snickered when I heard what he said.
CHAPTER TEN **BRIANNA** Carlos kept trying to have a conversation with me but I kept snubbing him because I wasn't in the mood to talk. "So where are you going?" He asked me in a cheerful manner driving lazily and looking ahead at the road. "I thought I told you before,my boss sent me on an errand." I snapped rudely. "Well forgive me for having a poor memory." He joked. "I can clearly see that you have a bad memory." I muttered hoping he wouldn't hear but with the way he glanced at me I knew he heard what I said. "Tell me about yourself." He stated looking at me and focusing back on the road. "My name is Brianna Jackson. A college dropout striving to make ends meet,take care of her sick mother and get the best life for her younger sister." I repli
CHAPTER ELEVEN **BRIANNA**The cab stopped in front of my house,I payed him and alighted from the car. I walked into the house and saw my mom sleeping on the sofa. She opened her eyes a few seconds later and sat up on the tattered sofa she was laying on. She must have heard my footsteps because she is a very light sleeper."You came back early,didn't you tell me you are to get off from work around six p.m. or so?" My mom said."I ran away from work." I said simply and sat down on another sofa."What?!" She shouted incredulously."Why would you do that?" She asked again."Something came up and I had to leave early." I stated smoothly."Hmm hmm." She hummed clearly not believing me."I'm telling the truth,a fire started in the cafeteria and the employe
CHAPTER TWELVE **BRIANNA**I freshened up and put on my waitress uniform. It had gotten more tight that it brought out my curves and it reached just above my knees. I brushed my hair and it fell to my mid back. I packed it in a ponytail so that it won't disturb me when I'm working and also put on some lip balm cos I don't wanna have chapped lips. I picked up my black sandals from the shod rack and wore it then picked up my handbag before walking out of the room. I walked down the stairs and met mom watching news on the small television while Marie was doing her assignment."Good day world. You are tuned to America Express Television Network. I'm your host,Camila Lopez and beside me is..." The newscaster trailed off and her colleague continued "Michael Collins and here are the headlines for today..."I sat down beside mom who was engrossed in the news sh
CHAPTER THIRTEEN **ADRIAN** The car drove into the compound and stopped in front of the mansion. I alighted from the car and the guards stood in a line to greet me. I snubbed them and walked into the mansion. On entering,the maids in the sitting room stopped what they were doing and greeted me. I also ignored their greetings and climbed the stairs that led to the floor the bedrooms are located. I walked down the hallway to the master bedroom, unlocked the door and walked inside. I strode to the bathroom and dumped my suit jacket in the laundry basket and started to take off my clothes. After undressing,I also dumped my clothes in the laundry basket and stepped under the shower. I washed myself and stepped out of the shower then dried my body and hair with a towel before tying another towel around my waist.I walked out of the bathroom towards the vanity
CHAPTER FOURTEEN **BRIANNA** I stared at Mr. Adrian's figure as he exited the club with his drunk friend who was muttering incoherent words. He really looked hot in the outfit he wore. I didn't know I was standing in one spot and drooling until I heard someone clearing their throat behind me."You were staring at him." Cherry said casually."Was I?" I asked dumbly."Snap out of it dumbhead. He's gone already!" Cherry yelled a little in my ears and I snapped out of the reverie I was in."Your boss really looks hot in real life than in the television and magazines." Cherry said with a dreamy look on her face."Yes he really does look hot." I blurted out before realizing what I said and covered my mouth with my hands as if I could unsay what I had said. My cheeks had turned pink
