Another Friend

Luisa's POV

Chapter Seven

He still had the power to turn me into jelly. I knew that I was doomed. Staying as a maid in that mansion was now impossible a thousand times more. Just seeing his face alone makes me wet, and whenever I remember the incident at the club, I am embarrassed for myself. How dare my pussy betray me? Getting wet for him, and my hand also, another betrayer. It was holding his shoulder and pulling him more into myself. I knew that I need to think of Chris before anything else and getting him far away is the best thing I can do.

“I think you are being paranoid. Why would you want to leave a job that can fetch you that much for something you haven’t even seen or tried before.”

I knew. She didn't need to spell it out. I was being paranoid but who could blame me. I was in a dilemma and I was trying to find the best way out of it. The best way I could figure out so far is to stay as far as I can from Kings. I can’t resist him and what if he found out about Chris. He must have surely suspected something. He was no fool.

“I know but at least I will have peace of mind. He already knows this place, so I am moving to my mother's.”

Jenny started packing my luggage in the box, “So, what are you going to do now?”

I shrugged, “I can always work as a salesgirl or something else. I will survive.”

After a few hours, we finally packed all my luggage in a box. Chris was already at my mother’s so it was easy to pack the boxes with the help of Jenny.

When I go to my mother’s she was glad to see us. She already insisted that I stay with her but I said I preferred staying alone but now that I won’t be getting up to the amount I thought, I decided to move to her place to save up.

Chris was sleeping and my mother and Jenny took it upon themselves to help me get settled.

“I think I will just find a salesgirl job in the hood.”

“I know but I still think he deserves to know he has a son.”

My mother was the best optimistic I know. She saw the good in everything, even when it was purely bad. I wouldn’t take that sort of risk when it’s concerning Chris.

“So, what will I do if he decides to collect his baby.”

Jenny spoke before my mother could interrupt, “ I have been working at the Sanchez mansion for a while and I don’t think the master is a cruel man. He wouldn’t want to separate a mother and child. I am sure of that.”

“And what if he does?” I decided to hold my mother's hand. “Mum, please try to understand me. I am just saying if he wants to fight for the baby he would surely win me. He is wealthy and I am not. He has a stable job and I am jobless. He has a house and I am living with you. And knowing that Chris is the heir to their empire, do you think he would leave him to grow with me. He won’t.”

My mother sighed, “Okay. I won’t say anything about it again.” She glanced at Jenny “Make sure you don’t speak about this anymore.”

Jenny nodded. After a while, we ate and she left for her place.

Tomorrow is for job hunting. Finally, since the day of the club, I could sleep a bit peacefully, knowing there was no way for kings to find out my location. I smiled in my dreams.

It was more difficult than I expected. I thought I would easily find a sales girl job with good pay but everywhere I have been so far. it was either the pay was too small or the job was too time-consuming. I understand what Jenny meant now.

I was sitting in a restaurant after a long day. I ordered a plate of rice and chicken with a soft drink. I was tired because I walked most of the distances and yet I didn't find a satisfying job.

What was I supposed to do? All I knew was there was no way I would go back to that mansion. I had to find a job out here at all costs.

"Hello beautiful," a voice drew me out of my thoughts. I glanced up to see a young man looking beautiful. If beautiful could describe a man because he looked more than handsome. He was smiling at me.

"Hello," I bet my voice sounds hoarse, so I cleared it.

"I am Derek. You are?"

I glanced at him for a while debating if I should tell this man my name or not, but there was no harm in making new friends.

"I am Luisa."

"Nice to meet you, Luisa. I have been staring at you from my seat and I must say, you look so beautiful. "

I blushed, "Thank you."

Just then, the waitress brought my food and drink. Derrick also ordered a drink. We sat together talking about random things. It was strange the way I was easily connected to a stranger but I guess having a lot of thongs in common does that.

We exchanged our numbers and he promised to visit me. By the time I left the restaurant, I was certain I had made a new friend in the city apart from Jenny.

Derek seemed to be a nice guy. He was a lawyer and he was friendly. He promised to help me with the issue of my job hunting.

On my way home I found myself smiling even though I was unable to get a job. I felt as if I had achieved something else. I had made a friend. I was happy and smiling until I saw Kingston at the front of my mother's door.
