Perfect Strangers -Jonas Blue
The tires screeched to a halt as the driver hold on to the brakes making the dust to rise from the ground. Kevin frowned and lifted his face from the documents on his lap, he was proof-reading the documents he's supposed to present before he arrive at the meeting in the next fifteen minutes when he felt his driver hold onto the emergency brakes."Ronnie, what happened?"Kevin asked deepening the frown on his face."Sir, a certain dog jumped on to the road and..."" You just hold the brakes for a dog, are you kidding me? Kevin interrupted his driver and Ronnie could testify that Kevin's eyebrows nearly met due to the deep frown on his face."Not really sir, a young girl just ran on to the road after the dog but I swear I didn't hurt her," Ronnie hurriedly explained."You don't have to explain it to me Ronnie, just go and fu**ing check out on her, I swear if I get late on that meeting am gonna fu**ing kill you!" Kevin said through gritted teeth but after a while he followed him out as he knew how slow his driver could be sometimes, he could take forever to solve such a simple case.In the middle of the road, Bella sat hugging her dog with her hands on her face, she slowly removed her hand from her face when she didn't feel any impact of being hit by the car.She was just buying some snacks on the roadside stall when suddenly Rex, her dog jumped on the road, so she didn't think twice before she ran after him without seeing an oncoming car and it was only after she caught up with him did she hear the screeching of the tires just before her, and out of shock she fell and sat down on the road with Rex still on her hands, but she really had to admit that the driver of the car was an excellent one, she really admired him!Bella slowly removed her hand that was covering her face and she was surprised to see two men before her, they looked elegant, and by observing their dress code she thought they were some sort of business men. One of the men was looking at her with concern while the other was staring at her with a frown, not exactly staring but glaring daggers down at her, not like she minded anyway.She thought they really looked handsome, it's not always that she gets impressed by anything, save for a man but she knew how to appreciate one when she gets one."Miss, are you okay, did you get hurt?" The man who was looking at her with concern asked, and she thought he was probably the driver to a certain someone behind him who was glaring daggers down at her. Bella slowly shook her head in denial since she wasn't injured anywhere."Actually I m really sorry for jumping on to the road," Bella said in a whisper her face facing the ground with guilt as she tugged her hood. Seeing her behaviour Ronnie just chuckled. All this while he hadn't seen his boss behind him, he wouldn't dare do that if he knew his devil boss was behind him."Ronnie, what are you doing, let's get going before we run late for meeting before...""You gonna fu**ing kill me,"Ronnie replied rolling his eyes and stuck out his tongue as he returned to the driver seat."Young gangster girl, next time if you want to kill yourself don't jump on the road again,it might not be effective."Saying that, Kevin dished out some dollars and gave it to her, in case you still want to live you can use it to buy medicine in case you got any injuries, but if you still want to die, you and your pathetic dog, maybe you should buy poison, I assure you it's more efficient," Kevin said smirking as he followed his driver in the car.Bella couldn't comprehend, she rose immediately and went before Kevin slamming the car door shut before Kevin could get in, she glared at him hate evident in her eyes as she stuffed the money back to his hand."You know what, I don't need your money Mr. Richman, and who wants to kill herself, only a stupid person like you would think that way, and you know what, f**k you," she added raising her two middle fingers before stomping away in anger, Bella might be young but she wasn't always polite to whoever is rude to her.After taking two steps, she turned and walked back to Kevin, she tiptoed and whispered on his ear before she walked away smiling as if she hasn't done anything leaving Kevin behind fuming with anger.Dumbass!Kevin couldn't imagine that that girl dared call him that, he made a mental note to make her suffer for this.When Ronnie heard the young girl call his boss stupid he silently prayed for her since his boss never shows mercy to anyone who offends him, leave alone calling him stupid! The last time he checked his boss had forced the mayor and his family out of the city just because of his daughter's mistake of drugging him."Sir, do you want me to ..." Ronnie started but he was cut short immediately."Let's just go!"Kevin spoke trying to put his anger on check at the moment, he will personally deal with her later, he thought evilly as an evil grin flashed on his face making Ronnie to unconsciously tremble.Just like before, Kevin once again busied himself, not like he could concentrate on the documents anymore, this was all thanks to the young gangster girl who had spoiled his mood."Sir, here we are,"Ronnie said as he opened the back seat door for him, and since Jason, Kevin's personal assistant wasn't around as he was dealing with some stuffs back at the office, Ronnie had to work as one.They both had graduated from the same school but Ronnie had more interest in different car models, he chose to go for Kevin's driver as he had quite a collection of different latest car models.As Kevin stepped down, Ronnie arranged all the documents and followed him to the meeting room.Since all the other companies in the room were mostly the startup and some incompetent enough, Kevin was granted the contract to have a partnership with the leading software company from Japan.Saving Grace Orphanage"Aunt, I am going out today and I might not come back for the night, so please don't wait for me," Bella said to her kissing her cheeks."Wait , where are you going?"Aunt Rosie asked concerned, she just couldn't let Bella be on herself, everybody knew she was quite a trouble maker and not a single day had ever passed without her making trouble somewhere, but today she wasn't in a mood to deal with any of her cases.One thing she wasn't aware was earlier she was nearly hit by a car, and not only that, she had called the owner of the car dumbass."Don't worry aunt, I promise I won't make any troubles today, and by the way am not going alone, I am going out with my friends, as this would be our last celebration before graduation," she pleaded with pouted lips and round puppy eyes and as always aunt Rosie gave in to her, she just couldn't resist those eyes."Okay, go, but don't cause any troubles or else you're doomed!" Aunt Rosie shouted at Bella's disappearing silhouette.Once Bella was given the permission she immediately ran out before her aunt changes her mind, not only that, she wasn't ready to listen to her lectures and threats.Outside the gate Alex had parked his car and he was leaning on the passenger seat door waiting for Bella and as always he was looking handsome in his casual denim pants and a plain white short-sleeved shirt.Sharon and Akira both sat at the back seat and they too were putting on simple yet elegant gowns and when they saw Bella walking towards the car, they rolled their eyes as Sharon murmured, "here comes our gangster girlfriend" and they both laughed out.Sharon, Bella and Akira were all brought up in the orphanage but they finally were adopted, though Bella too got foster parents, Alex's father once wanted to adopt her but she wasn't ready to part from her aunt Rosie and Becky, her little sister though they were not really blood related, but she treated them as her family.On the side, Alex had met Bella when she had once protected him from some bullies back when they were in kindergarten and since then they remained friends, as he always considered her his hero."Like seriously Bella, can't you put on something else other than your gangster uniform, why do I feel like you are going on a robbery mission instead of a party?"Alex asked shaking his head while the other girls burst out laughing out, but Bella just rolled her eyes at them.Bella was putting on a raged faded denim pants, an oversized t shirt, hoodie,a black boots, and a cap all black from head to toe, making her look like a young gangster save for her pale porcelain skin which portrayed her innocence."So girls let's go," Alex shouted as he started the engine after he had made sure they were all set with their seatbelts fastened."Yeah," the girls shouted back as they were ready to rock the night.The phone rang for the third time before Kevin finally picked it up, it seemed like the caller was really persistent. "What!" Kevin barked when he saw caller, it was none other than his stupid younger brother. "Ooh I missed you too," Joel replied rolling his eyes, he was already used to his brother's behavior that at times he wondered how could they be brothers, one always jovial and sociable mood, while the other a grumpy, cold and arrogant jerk. "I never said I missed you," Kevin replied with a smirk, it seems like his friend was in a mood to play. "Of course you didn't, a dumbass like you would never say such a word even if you miss me." "Joel!" Kevin called out sternly, how could two people call him dumbass in a single day.Joel just reminded him of the gangster girl who shamelessly called him the same name. "Do you have a dead wish!" Kevin thundered anger evident in his voice, but when he didn't get a response, he decided to hang up the call, he wasn't in the mood for this
"Bella, aren't you going to wake up, it's eight already, or aren't you going for the graduation anymore?" aunt Rosie shouted on Bella's door. She had been walking her up but seems like she was adamant to not waking up. Graduation! That's the only word Bella heard, she threw her duvet away and immediately rose from the bed but her pounding head made her stagger as she sat back on the bed. She only had fourty five minutes to prepare and drive to the university. With that in mind, she removed her night gowns and ran to the bathroom, she doesn't really remember how she got home last night but that was least of her concern at the moment. Since she wasn't that well prepared for the graduation, she just picked up a casual ragged denim pants, a plain t shirt and a hoodie all black, and as always she put on her boots, all black though unlike always she hadn't tied her hair into a ponytail but left it flowing. When Bella came out from her room, aunt Rosie was really surprised, it seemed li
The alarm had been ringing for quite some times now that it was irritating Bella, she had planned to ignore it and had even buried her head on the pillow and just as she stretched her hand to switch it off... "Bella just get up already and don't even think of switching off your alarm otherwise you're going to be late for the interview," this was only what she required before her drowsiness vanished. Interview! Bella didn't hear even a single word other than this, and as always she just threw her blanket away before running to wash up, she didn't want to be late for the interview lest she misses on this chance to work at JB Inc, and since she didn't have enough time to prepare herself, she wore her usuals and rode her scooter. JB Inc. "Hello, how may I help you," Bella was asked politely by a young man who sat at the reception desk."Ooh hello, I am Bella Jake and am here for the interview," Bella replied and as she checked her watch she gasped before she searched through her backp
"I think this is all you need to know miss Bella,we only have one place left,and since it's almost lunch time,let's just go to the cafeteria and have our meals,"Jane, Kevin's secretary spoke politely,she wasn't the harsh arrogant type of secretary that are always heard of to be commonly found in the offices.Actually she had liked Bella already seeing she wasn't the arrogant rich young mistress that she always encountered in the office and she thought maybe they could be friends, after all she didn't have a lot of friends in this office, save from Ryan, the receptionist. "Just call me Bella, after all we are almost age mates," Bella said smiling politely, she has never liked any time one refers to her with miss, it always makes her feel old. "Okay, you should also call me Jane," and just like that they left for the cafeteria, but only to meet Ryan who was also on his way, and so they tagged along but all this while all the eyes in the room were following them until they took there se
"Why did you leave just now? You didn't even finish up on your lunch, Kevin asked glaring angrily at Bella, he just didn't like the fact that she just walked out of him without even finishing up her lunch."I just wanted to give you time, not like it's a big deal," she added and rolled her eyes, which didn't escape Kevin's eyes, but he remained silent, he still had a long time to teach her manners.Make sure you take a look on my schedule and master everything, and one fact you should know about me is that I hate laziness, dishonesty and tardiness." Bella didn't have a lot to do for the day as she was still familiarizing with the working environment. Just as it turned four o'clock, she picked up her backpack but just a glare from someone behind the table reminded her of the third clause on the contract, so she slowly sank back to the coach, and it didn't take long before she fell asleep.As workaholic as Kevin had always been, he hadn't even noticed that he had been working for three
"Sir, butler Garry just called, he says your grandfather is at the hospital and is requesting for you now, he says he won't get any treatment if you won't go to see him," Ronnie, Kevin's personal assistant bulged in his office not even with a knock. Kevin knew his grandfather very well, he'd been asking him to get married now that he was at his late twenties but everytime Kevin has always dismissed him but seems like this old man was adamant to make sure his plan was executed and Kevin knew very well that this old man won't really let him be unless he really got married.Picking up his jacket, he left the office as Ronnie followed him. "Sir don't you think this is just another of your grandfathers tricks just to make sure that you get married, I think he has used the same trick severally that it's already very familiar. "" Don't worry, I know what to do, I just want him to stop pestering me for good," Kevin replied as an evil smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, and Ronnie wasn
The remaining distance to the hospital was very silent, Ronnie didn't have the gut to say a thing, he was afraid he would turn the scapegoat for Kevin's anger, so he chose otherwise and he was thankful it wasn't such a long distance, though to him this three minutes drive felt like eternity.Kevin majestically walked to the elevator as Ronnie half running followed him in. It really seemed like Kevin's aura at the moment shun many people, especially those lady nurses who would always approach and flirt with him today were nowhere to be seen.The little children, once they glanced at him ran behind their mother's back to hide while a few fearful one's started crying. Not even with a knock, Kevin entered his grandfather's ward, and without a word, sat on the sofa at the farther end of the room and raised his face to his grandfather, maintaining eye contact.Ronnie could feel a headache coming, this two people have never had a normal conversation just like how a grandfather and a grandso
Town BEveryone in the room had their eyes glued to the presentation on the board, though most of them were tired already, they didn't show it. This meeting has been going on for four and half hours already and it seems like it wouldn't come to an end any soon.This boss was really very hard to please, all he was doing was criticizing the employees here, about this or that. Generally the room was tensed up.Suddenly their was an interruption, as William's phone vibrated, since he was the personal assistant to the boss, he was the only one aside from the boss himself who could pick up a call during the meeting. The rest of the employees were not even allowed to attend the meeting with their phone."Excuse me," William excused himself from the room to pick up the call. Not long after he came back half running and whispered something to the boss's ear,seems like there was an emergency that required his attention."Meeting adjourned!" Derrick declared as he rose from his chair.The employe
