Justin stared at Jesse's face in the strip club parking lot, and after contemplating for a while, he said, "Remember the pretty lady that we saw when we were leaving the estate?".
Jesse smiled and replied, "You mean the one who ran away from you when you approached her?".
Justin glared at Jesse, but Jesse laughed and apologized - "Forgive me, boss."
"Justin! How many times do I need to remind you, Jesse, to stop calling me boss?" Justin questioned angrily as he never liked it when Jesse tried to maintain the master-servant relationship between them.
"I'm sorry, Justin, but you know that your father will be angry with me if he finds out that I am being friends with you and calling you by your name," Jesse apologized.
"I know, and that's why I want you to call me by my name, especially when we are not at home and in public places like this. To reduce others' eyes on me," Justin said.
"Okay, Justin," Jesse replied, and Justin sighed frustratedly and said, "I just seem to like that young lady. I've been seeing her around, and I don't know how I will approach her."
"I think you need to man up and approach her nicely. Most young ladies like her type would think that you only want to sleep with her and finally dump her," Jesse advised.
"Hmm, but she doesn't even want to hear me out. This is the fourteenth time that I have seen her passing by," Justin said as he stood beside his car with Jesse's eyes widened in shock at hearing for the fourteenth time.
Justin didn't mind that the night was rapidly approaching, and his mother had been calling his phone, but he refused to answer.
"Fourteen times? Wow! I'm only just seeing her for the first time," Jesse said.
"Yes, that is because you cannot see how endowed she looks. As you only have your eyes on the road," Justin replied, and Jesse only smiled at Justin's words.
"Can we go back home now, boss? No, I mean, Justin, it's already getting late and after 10 pm," Jesse said as he stared at the other guys arriving at the strip club parking lot with their cars.
Jesse wasn't just hired as a driver for Justin alone. He is also Justin's bodyguard and a bouncer to fight and beat up anyone daring to come near Justin or harass Justin.
"Okay," Justin replied with a frown, as he knew that he had no other option than to follow Jesse home.
Justin entered the red car, and Jesse started the car engine and drove out from the club.
----------
Arriving at the estate gate, Justin's red car drove into the estate street that was slightly dark and had only the streetlights shining brightly along the road. The estate security men welcomed them after checking their car and allowed Jesse to drive into the street, even though they knew that Justin's father owned the estate.
They still had to do their job for security purposes even as Mr. Emerson Robert is the owner of the estate and owned more estates around Lemon-hill town.
Justin kept his eyes on the road, staring out through the window at the beautiful street that led down to his father's mighty mansion.
Just then, a pretty young lady in her light blue dress rushed up to his car as if she were being chased, and she ran up to his side door.
"Excuse me, sir, please wait!" - Olima's voice cracked, startling Justin.
Justin sat up properly, squinted his eyes to stare at her properly as Jesse drove past her.
The surrounding had turned dark, with the streetlights shining into the beautiful deserted street.
Justin couldn't see the lady's face properly, and Jesse cursed, "Damn it! Who was that idiot??."
Jesse immediately navigated the steering wheel to drive past her, not wanting to stop as he didn't know if the young lady was a setup sent to make them stop and for their attackers or assassins to attack them.
But just as Jesse attempted to speed up the car, and to drive off entirely, Justin immediately caught sight of the pretty young lady's face and ordered Jesse to stop the car.
"Stop the car!!" - Justin repeated, and Jesse was taken aback by Justin's outburst. He slowed down and stared back at his young boss.
"Boss, I mean Justin, do you want me to stop the car here?" - Jesse asked worriedly, as he stared back at Justin. Jesse saw that Justin was staring at the young lady who stood helplessly, waiting to see if they would help her.
"Boss, we cannot trust that lady. What if she's a witch or..." Before Jesse could protest or complete his statement, Justin already pushed his side door open and stepped down from the car to rush up to meet the lady.
"Boss!!" - Jesse called after Justin, but Justin had already run ahead to meet the young lady, making Jesse curse - "Damn! Who the heck was that lady?."
Jesse drove the car backward to keep in touch with Justin, instead of getting out of the car.
Justin ran up to meet the young lady in her light blue dress.
--
Olima saw the red car speed past her after she had tried to stop the driver, and she saw the car stop ahead, giving her hope that they would help her get to the estate gate.
But then, she saw a familiar figure step down from the car, recognizing him as the same young man who had approached her earlier in the day.
Olima took to her heels again, running away from Justin, knowing he was worse than the two previous men who had tried to approach her.
However, Olima stumbled and fell to the ground, causing Justin to catch up to her. He approached her as she lay on the floor, breathing heavily, too.
"Wow, miss, that was an intense warm-up exercise," Justin said, finally meeting Olima and seeing her beautiful gaze on him.
He rested his hands on his knees, bending down to look at her pretty figure properly, and restless face, too.
Olima was extremely scared, seeing the young man crouch in front of her, looking breathtakingly handsome. Much more than all the young men of his age that she had seen before. Even though it was nighttime, she could still see how handsome he was with his well-shaped short black hair, neatly trimmed beard, and perfect face.
Justin tried to catch his breath, asking her, ''What are you doing out here by the road at this late hour of the night?''
Justin stared at Olima Adams, who looked helpless and still lying on the floor. She had run away from him and fell to the ground in her almost transparent nightwear.
''Please... stay away from me." Olima begged, shivering, scared that Justin would harm her.
''I won't hurt you, come with me, it's very late now to be out here alone,'' Justin replied, extending his right hand to help her stand up from the floor.
Olima was scared but finally accepted Justin's right hand, standing up as Justin felt electrified the moment he touched her. He held her hand closely, not wanting her to run away from him.
Olima was breathing heavily, Justin's eyes fixated on her body, as Jesse finally drove the car backward to meet them.
Justin clenched his fists upon seeing that Olima looked hurt. He asked her, "What happened to you?"
Justin couldn't believe his eyes as Olima's face looked swollen, unlike when he had previously seen her with a smooth and delicate face, not red face. She looked like someone had beaten her, or she had been abused.
"Tell me, what's wrong? Who slapped you?" Justin asked again, wanting to help Olima, who finally broke out into sobs in his arms.
Jesse's eyes also widened in shock as he saw Olima's face and knew that she was the same young lady that Justin was asking about earlier when they were still at the club, but now she looks so battered than when he earlier saw her before. Jesse couldn't believe that she was the one and Justin was seriously worrying himself about her too. Olima was still unable to speak about who had hurt her as she cried and begged Justin, "Please, sir... help me get to the estate gate?" Justin asked her, "Why?" He held her left hand closely as he didn't want her to run away from him again, but his phone continued ringing out in his black suit trouser side pocket. Jesse's phone also rang out too, and Justin knew that his parents were the ones calling him. Even though they acted blindly towards him sometimes, his mother still always called him to know where he was and if he was alright. Justin said, "Wait first..." He immediately took out his phone from his trouser side pocket, and at the same tim
Justin's car finally drove into the garage and parked. He stepped down from his car first and saw his mother standing at the mansion frontage and staring at him too as he walked over to the second side of the car and assisted the young lady in stepping down from his car. Mrs. Juliet was wearing a red long rosy nightgown and hearing the sound of her son's car arriving in their compound and parking in their garage. She immediately rushed out to have a peek at who had arrived, and seeing it was Justin made her relieved. Her husband had traveled abroad for a business trip to other states where he owned other mega houses as well, and she knew that he usually cheated on her, even more than Justin. Her husband, named Mr. Emerson Robert, kept his promiscuous lifestyle a secret, thinking she wouldn't know. She had seen a lot of photos and videos of him with some shameless young ladies who were proud to host her husband in their beds. Despite knowing that he was a married man and a billionai
Justin walked into the living room with his mother, but Mrs. Juliet wasn't in a good mood at all and she questioned him, "Son, just take a look at the time. You're just arriving home now. It's after 12 am in the midnight!" Mrs. Juliet ranted, and Justin rather apologized to his mother, "I'm sorry, Mom. I saw her on the road, and I couldn't just drive past her." "Why, son? We have the estate security agency to help her out, and now with you bringing her here, that will prolong the matter and warrant more questioning and explanations. What if that young lady did something more terrible in her family home or killed someone there, and you shamelessly brought her here to us, to implicate us too?" Mrs. Juliet roared out her frustration at Justin. "No, mother! She's innocent and cannot hurt a fly," Justin said, and his mother shook her head as her black eyes narrowed at her handsome son. "Okay. It's already late now, and I want to go and sleep. Tomorrow, I want you to take her away from h
Justin replied to Leah's greeting, "Good morning Leah, how was your night?" Justin was practically a free guy, and even though he knew that he was supposed to be strict with his staff and workers, he wasn't that type of guy that took life so seriously and should be demanding for respect all the time from his staff. He knew so well that Leah, Jesse, and their gate man, Alex, all respected him as he is their boss, just after his father, but he smiles with them and plays with them behind his parents' back, especially when his father isn't at home, as his mother usually turned a blind eye on his playfulness sometimes, but his father didn't approve of it at all, and always told him to maintain his distance of boss to servant relationship with their staff. "My night was fine boss, and yours?" Leah asked Justin as she paused her sweeping and stared up at his balcony again, he was leaning on upstairs. "Fine too," Justin replied, but his eyes remained focused on Olima, while Leah saw that he
Mrs Juliet's eyes shifted to stare at Mrs Gina as she finally walked out to the gate, meeting Mrs Gina's cold gaze on her. Mrs Juliet asked, "Why did you send her away last night from here?" Mrs Gina didn't know who the black beautiful woman standing in her presence was, as she knew most of the women in the Emerson estate were all big men's wives. "Pardon? Who are you to come into my house to question me?" Mrs Gina retorted. "Who am I?" Mrs Juliet scoffed. "I'm very ashamed of you, woman. You have a young daughter like her size and choose to send this young lady away by midnight last night. Yet, you could sleep so peacefully inside your room... how evil of you to be heartless to another human's daughter, let alone your stepdaughter too?" Mrs Juliet questioned coldly, but Mia's school bus finally arrived. Mia had no other option but to leave for school. Mrs Gina replied, "Olima is not welcome in this house again, as she dared to poison my daughter and me last night, attempting to
Olima's life had not been rosy after her stepmother's arrest as Mrs. Gina ensured to mistreat Olima even more. Mrs. Gina stated, "You didn't work for the money that you used in eating here daily, and yet you have the nerve to gang up against me and get me arrested. Really?" Mrs. Gina smirked as she stood in the center of the living room, and Olima stared downward and listened to her stepmother. Mrs. Gina said, "When I returned home, we will discuss this appropriately. And if you know what is best for you, you better prepare and leave this house for good." Olima was silent as she watched her stepmother finally leave the house shortly after returning from the police station. Olima could hear her stomach grumbling out of hunger while she returned back upstairs to her bedroom, as she was sure her stepmother had left the house. She later stepped downstairs from her bedroom and walked back to the kitchen to check for what she could eat. Olima saw the remaining noodles left, cooked it
Olima was absent-minded and walking down the estate road, leading down to her family house. She hadn't eaten since the previous night, and she could feel her stomach growling out so loud in hunger. She didn't even care about the cars that were driving past her along the road, as she knew it was already evening and nightfall was fastly approaching. With the sudden change of weather, Olima knew that it would soon rain heavily, and she was crying as she continued with her trekking home. She missed her parents and wished they were both alive and hadn't visited her school nor abandoned her to the care of her wicked stepmother. She could hear the sound of a car honking its car horn behind her back, but she was sure that she wasn't walking on the main road for any car to hit her or to ram over her. With tears filled in her eyes, Olima continued trekking home slowly, not until a figure that seemed familiar to her stepped down from the car that was parked ahead in front of her, and he rush
Olima was nervous as she stepped down from the car, and she followed Justin into his family mansion. She was scared as she knew how Justin's mother had reacted on the first day that Justin brought her into their home. She was scared of how Justin's mother would react again. Olima hesitated to follow Justin into the mansion, and he paused and said to her, "Don't be scared, come inside with me." Olima gulped hard as she nervously followed Justin into the living room. They climbed up the frontage first, before Justin pressed on the doorbell, and he finally unlocked it to walk inside with her, as she saw that his house had a recognition password. Olima gulped as she followed Justin into the living room. Even though she was a billionaire's daughter, she was practically scared. Justin stepped into the living room with Olima, hugging her closely. His back coat rested upon his right shoulder, and he was only wearing a white shirt and black pants with black shoes. Justin stared towards
