Lucien continued driving not bothered about her countenance ,he didn't care if she tore up or something .
She was a lot of headache to him already .
Derick tried calming Lucia down at the back but she continued sobbing .
" I thought we are friends ,is there something wrong" Lucia whispered to Derick.
" Yes you are but you see Lucien is kind of ,he has anger issues . This minute he is happy,the other minute he goes angry. " Derick said hoping Lucien buys his point .
The sound of the shutting of the door made Derick know that they had gotten to Lucien's house .
How did he drive so far .
"Wow " Lucia said on viewing the house .
" I don't think I have been here before ,this house just feels new . No connection at all" Lucia said looking at Derick .
" I don't know " he said and shrugged his shoulders .
" Welcome back boss , welcome sir Derick and miss ..." Thelma the housekeeper said waiting for Lucia to answer.
" Oh I am Lucia and I am not miss " Lucia said revealing her perfect dentition .
" Do you have something cooked up because I think she would be hungry " Lucien said sitting down on the couch .
" Yes I will just set up the table " Thelma said and left .
" You have a nice housekeeper ,she should know me right " Lucia said smiling.
" No " Derick and Lucien shouted .
"She doesn't, I employed her newly " Lucien said ruffling his hair .
He had totally forgotten that Thelma would be at home and she might tell Lucia she had been hired a year ago .
" Ok and you do have a nice couch " Lucia said using her hands to feel the couch .
" Thank you and stop being a talkative " Lucien said tired already of her .
" I am not a talkative " Lucia snapped .
" Yes you are " Lucien replied back .
" I am not
" You are .
" Food is served " Thelma said from the dinning .
" Oh thank God for coming in between these two ." Derick appreciated earning him a glare from Lucien.
They walked to the table and sat down .
" Hmm wow so appetizing ," Lucia said and sniffed the air .
" Can I have those chicken wings " Lucia said looking at Lucien who was close to it .
" Serve yourself and stop disturbing me ." Lucien snapped .
"I will help you Lucia " Thelma said wondering what was wrong with her boss .
He has never been so worked up this way .
Something's up .
" Thank you Miss " Lucia said and watched Thelma serve her .
Derick winked at Lucien and earned a glare.
" This tastes so good . Mind if you could teach me " Lucia said and Lucien palmed his face .
" With all pleasures ,I don't mind . When ever you come visiting " Thelma said ignorantly.
" I would be staying here for the time being till I get my memories back " Lucia said and Lucien banged the table .
"Thats it ,you talk to much ,Get up " Lucien said and pulled Lucia up from her side of the table and climbed up the stairs .
" Lucien calm down " Derick shouted from the dinning but Lucien didn't bother replying.
His main aim was to talk to Lucia .
He opened the guest room that was sparkling neat and furnished .
"Why do you hate me ,I thought we are friends " Lucia said sitting on the bed and sobbing .
" I don't hate you neither do I love you ,I just want you to know that I don't know you ,I don't know your name either . I saw you unconcious by the side of the road and j decided to help you not knowing you won't realize your self when you wake up ." Lucien explained .
"You mean you don't know me at all ,I am a stranger ,even Derick is a stranger " Lucia said in tears and Lucien nodded .
" I don't want you to be a cry baby or something . I just want you to brace yourself up and try to get your memories faster so you can go back to your family . " Lucien said and took a long look at Lucia whose face was soaked with tears and walked out from the room walking into Derick who was standing by the door.
" Why would you tell her the truth now " Derick said .
" I had to ,she just had to know . So she won't be clingy around me like I am her friend or something because I don't know her . "Lucien said and walked away .
Derick looked at Lucia's door for sometime before thinking of whether to go in .
After some thinking ,he walked in .
"Please i want to be alone Derick , please " Lucia said and Derick sighed before walking out.
Lucia felt her world crashing , he doesn't know her ,he doesn't even know her at all.
Is Lucia even her name
Who are her family ?
Lucien teared up the more that she felt her head would soon burst .
Slowly her eyes fluttered closed and she fell asleep .
.......
"Quinn why can't you just postpone this meeting to the summer ,your brother would be so surprised to see you " Mrs Spencer said .
" Mom I really need to see him ,I miss him. He misses me too I know . That house would be so boring for him . He really needs me there " Quinn said packing up her things.
"Stop acting like your brother is a kid " Mrs Spencer said .
" I am not . California here I come " Quinn said jumping making her mum shake her head at her childishness .
TBC
7Lucien's sister comes visitingQuinn kissed her mom on her cheeks before hugging her. "Be a good girl Quinn ,don't give your brother troubles and lastly tell him to get himself a wife " Mrs Spencer said and Quinn chuckled at the last part ."I will do all this but can you please bribe me " she said pouting her lips .."Silly girl ,you better start going or you would miss your flight " Mrs Spencer said and signaled someone to pick up her luggages .She walked her outside and waited for her to get into the car and waved at her before blowing her a kiss .Quinn squealed happily making the driver turn and smile .Meeting her brother after four months is something to be happy about right?"What airport are you headed ma " the driver asked not taking his eyes off the steering ."I am using Prech Airways " Quinn said and brought out her phone from her purse ... California ...."So I want to say thank you for saving my life and giving me such a beautiful name " Lucia said blocking Lucien
8Jane 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
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 ."
