Jane and Cara
"Miss Quinn you didn't tell us of your arrival " Thelma said politely .
" So you could work yourself up around the house and besides I wanted to surprise my brother when he comes back from work."she said walking inside and meeting Lucia standing .
Lucia had heard from their little convo that she is Lucien's sister .
Isn't that more trouble for her .
Lucien was not being nice and now his sister.
"Thelma who is she " Quinn said looking at Lucia who she found beautiful .
" Your brother is in the best position to answer that Quinn " Thelma said carrying Quinn's box upstairs leaving Lucia with Quinn .
" Who are you . Are you my brother's fiancee . You look so beautiful . Why is your hair so long and your skin so smooth " Quinn chattered and didn't notice when Lucia slipped into unciousness almost falling on the floor .
" Holy Molly Thelma Help me. " Quinn said wondering what went wrong
....
"Thelma what the hell did you say happen to her and is Quinn at home " Lucien said over the phone closing up.his laptop .
Now he has to hurry home again all because of Lucia .
This won't surely be the end of him .
Had it been he ignored the shaking bag that night ,he won't be in this state .
He picked up his keys and dashed out of the office making sure he bolted it .
He wasn't one to play with his office privacy .
......
Lucien got down from the car , unbuttoning his sleeves while walking in .
He opened the door and climbed the stairs to Lucia's room .
He met her looking like someone who just woke up .
He scanned round the room but no trace of Quinn but he could smell her deodorant.
He knows her deodorant and wouldn't miss it for the world .
" Good evening sir " Thelma said getting up from the bed .
" I will go get you some water Lucia " she said leaving fast as possible .
" Ok tell me what caused this ruckus " Lucien snapped as soon as she left .
" I am sorry ,I didn't mean to disturb you ,I didn't know Thelma would call you " Lucia said on the verge of tearing up .
" You are sorry ,what would sorry do in this situation , sorry that you made me miss my office appointments " Lucien snapped .
" I just felt my head go heavy with the numerous questions your sister asked and I slipped into unconciousness" Lucia said softly and Lucien ruffled his hair .
"What questions." Lucien asked and immediately the door opened revealing Quinn who had gone to freshen up .
" Big brother." She said and hugged him tightly and Lucien felt his anger dissolve .
" Why the hell did you not tell me you were coming " be said poking her cheeks .
" I wanted it to be a surprise ,how will it be a surprise if I tell you " she said making Lucien smile.
"How is Mum " he asked arranging her hair .
"Mum is fine and she asked me to get you a fiancee while I am here but seems you already did a good job getting one " she said winking and immediately Lucien remembered he was still in Lucia's room and pulled her out immediately which made Lucia giggle .
Lucien just acted like a saint but to Lucia he acts like a complete jerk and a devil .
...
" So who is the lucky girl inside " Quinn asked giggling .
"She is no lucky girl ,just some girl I helped in her unconcious state ." Lucien said dismissively .
"What ! Explain to me because I don't understand at all " Quinn said looking amused .
" I said I saved her from dying and now she has Amnesia and can't remember her roots " Lucien said making Quinn gasp.
" You dont mean it , do you . What a beautiful love story is going to erupt from this " Quinn said smiling making Lucien palm his face .
" You are just been silly . I just said I don't know her and there is nothing like love coming between us " Lucien said walking into his room leaving Quinn at the spot .
" Hmm not on my watch . Who wouldn't want such beauty in the family" she said aloud .
" I won't and make sure you cancel every plan of yours " Lucien said poking his head before shutting the door.
"Arggh " Quinn said disapprovingly .
....
" Boss already left Cara ,I think he has some emergencies to attend to " Jane told Cara who was wearing a happy face walking in the office.
She just scored the deal with Royale Estate Agent.
She couldn't wait to break the news .
"When did he leave " Cara asked sitting on her desk with a sad countenance .
" A few minutes after you left " Jane said typing away on her computer and monitoring Cara's countenance .
" Damn what did he think I am . He just sent me out so he could go have some fun time with his girlfriend " Cara snapped forgetting she wasn't alone .
"You never can tell ,and why so worked up ,he is the boss and you are an employee " Jane said stylishly trying to find out what's on Cara's mind .
" Well I like him and you must not let anyone hear of it . I just felt like confiding in you " Cara said watching Jane's expression if it's negative or positive .
" That's nice ,I never knew . So what have you done to make boss notice you " Jane said with a blank expression .
She was boiling inside .
She also loved the boss so cara shouldn't get in her way .
" Well I have tried to get him to have lunch with me but it's been futile " Cara said with a sad expression and also happy she has someone to confide in .
" Well you have to step up " Jane said twirling her hands on her desk .
"Ok what's do you suggest I do " Cara said getting impatient .
"Uhmmm ..... I suggest . ... But wait you have to Grant my request first " Jane said and Cara ruffled her hair .
" So what's the request . Is it money "Cara said trying to be calm .
Jane's table clock buzzed signifying it was closing hours .
" Well I think we have to talk about it tomorrow over lunch then I would tell you my request ' Jane said picking her small sling bag leaving Cara dissapointed.
Damn"
9Getting a job Cara fumed as she walked out of the office .Who the hell does Jane think she is and to think that she even went ahead to tell her of her life problems was her own stupidity .She found out that all the staffs were slowly vacating the office premises .Some in their cars Some with their boyfriends and others with their pre arranged rides .She had neither of these because she had turned all guys away waiting for Lucien to notice her. She unzipped her purse and brought out her phone and booked a ride but the network wasn't connecting.The network wiped out completely after a while of disconnecting ." Damn now I have to go in all these taxi with stinking human beings and smelly low life ." She said snorting .She walked out of the office and decided to hail cars down rather asking for help than for her to get into a cab .Hopefully she might get a neat car to drive her to her house direction .She waved at a few cars and when she was about giving up ,a blue Toyota Co
10Got a jobLucia got up immediately at the strike of the clock that it was already morning.One thing to know about someone looking for a job is punctuality .She wished she had a phone,she would have scouted for jobs online .She had an idea,she would just use Quinn's phone so she had two favours to ask from Quinn.She entered the bathroom and took a long refreshing shower to be sure she didn't have dirt on her . She came out looking all refreshed and determined .When she starts making money ,she is sure Lucien would respect her and not see her as some liability .She opened the wardrobe and scanned through .She couldn't find anything official to wear ,after all she wasn't looking for an office job because she had no certificate .She took out a blue jean and a white Polo and tucked it in the jean .Looking at herself in the mirror ,she nodded smiling but just one thing remaining .She picked a brush and brushed her hair down ,the room was well equipped and she was grateful the
11Camilla's new school Lucia turned towards the door since she was closest to it and opened it revealing Cara who looked dashing in her blue knee length jumpsuit .Cara sized Lucia up wondering who this beautiful lady was in white Polo and blue jean ,no doubt she was just returning from anywhere she wentShe hates to admit it but she is beautiful ...."Lucia who is at the door " Lucien's masculine voice echoed from the sitting room.Since Lucia didn't know who was that ,she excused herself from the door giving Cara way to enter and Cara entered immediately making Lucien surprised ."Good evening boss " she greeted standing by the door and watched as Lucien stood up from the dinning ." Wow Cara good to see you . Come join us for dinner "Lucien said and Cara felt on air .Wow she would have dinner with her boss ." That's not actually why I came ..."Why you came can wait ,you are a guest and you should be treated as one although guests don't come at night unnannounced "Lucien said a
12Derrick's accident Camilla raised her head to see the body she had bumped into , it was a male figure who looked at her for a long time before pulling her away from the crowd . She was surprised that the students were no longer laughing at her but all of them treaded cautiously now . Hmm who is this guy . He pulled her to the other part of the school block and collected her lunch box from her and turned around and left . " Huh wait up ,did you just take my food " she called out but he didn't bother replying as he walked away . "Seems today isn't a good day ,here I am thinking that I have been saved not knowing I had just been bullied" she muttered and headed to find her class . ... . .. Lucia woke up at the sound of the alarm ,she didn't want to be late at her first day of work . Although her boss didn't seem to be a jerk like Lucien . She entered the bathroom and took her bath hurriedly and got out ,opened her wardrobe and got out a flowered kne
13 What happened to Lucia?? Lucia finished up the rice and stew the cook served her and returned the plates to the kitchen giving the cook an appreciative smile . It was time for her to go home atleast she was done with the chores in the house. Oh damn I forgot he asked me to prune the flowers that the original person doing it was on sick leave " Lucia said to herself pinching herself hard till she winced for wanting to leave a work undone at her first day at work .The cook looked at her from the kitchen and shook her head .She was really lucky to get this job because she knew Sir Jason does all the house chores by himself and sometimes she assists him and he was never stressed . .......Lucien entered the board room with his thoughts filled with Lucia .Where would she be now ?What kind of work was she doing ? If she goes missing, the cops would come for him because she is his responsibility now. When he gets back today ,he would find out everything about her
14A new phase Lucien dropped Cara off after booking a ride for her which came immediately.He drove off immediately to the house in full speed not minding the blaring of horns he could hear .He drove into house and parked at his designated car park ..He hurried in to the house .He wondered why he was this worried over a girl he doesn't even like or could it be he likes her .Nah he doesn't like her .He rushed up the stairs and heard the sound of hip hop playing in the room making him wonder if there was a party to mark her demise .He opened the door and found Quinn dancing to some hip hop music and scoffed .Quinn on hearing his voice tuned down the music volume and looked at her brother who looked like he ran from the office down here .Here is the guy who said he doesn't like Lucia .Such a joke ." Quinn what happened to Lucia " Lucien asked trying not to sound too worried although his heart was beating." Nothing .." she said and giggled that made Lucien brew with anger ."
15Kiss me ......" Bye take care of Mom " Lucien said patting Quinn's soft hair ." As if you have been the one taking care of her" she scoffed ." What ever " Lucien said not wanting to get into a fight with her .Immediately the plane number was called and destination , Quinn gave her brother one last long before whispering in his ears." Don't be mean to Lucia " .Before he could reply ,she rolled her bag away making Lucien laugh .He is going to miss her trouble anyway .He waited for the plane to take off before turning towards the direction of his car and walked towards it .He opened the door and got in before he drove off.......... Jason parked his car close to the area he had picked up Cara the other day ,he hoped she would come out for lunch break .He really needs to see her. If she would agree to be his friend and also invite her for his birthday coming up soon .After waiting for some minutes and it seemed Cara wasn't planning on coming out ,she came out wearing a gown
16Dos and CamillaJason smiled as he remembered the shocked look on Cara's face when he footed the bill with his credit gold card even she did not own . " Flashback "" How are you able to foot such amount" she asked after getting herself ." What bill " Jason asked pretending to be ignorant of what she was saying ." The bill the waiter just brought now " she said and Jason chuckled ." Why do you ask " he said " You know,you drive that car ." So ? "Jason said cutting her off ." I don't know " cara said not knowing what to say." Well there is more to people than you just assume "Jason said smiling warmly at her ."End of flashback" Jason chuckled and giggled the more as he relived the moment again and again.Women can be funny at times ,he thought......" Lucia immediately bent down and ran inside her room .She shut the door breathing heavily .What was going on in her head. What was she thinking "she asked herself going about the room.Lucien laughed on seeing the way she r
