Chapter 5.
Melanie's Pov.
Why is Eveth calling me by this time?, it's 9pm and it's really rare. There is no way I'm not going to pick the call.
"Hello, you will be working for Dexter for the next three months, since Mrs Corazon will not be around." She said immediately I picked the call.
She must have been mistaken, there is no way Dexter will agree with what she just said.
"Ma'am, I think you are mistaken...Dexter wouldn't want me to work for him." I tried explaining but she cuts me off immediately.
"No, he was the one who said three months, so you can start working tomorrow, I will come and pick you up tomorrow since tomorrow is Saturday. My poor son must be really hungry." She said the last sentence with an awful voice.
I know she's just trying to convince me to work for her son, I will have to do it for her sake and not for his sake.
"Okay, I will prepare myself." I agreed and I could hear her squeaking over there. She must be really happy, looks like someone that has another motive. I dropped my phone on the table as I rolled my eyes.
Miss Eveth is really funny at times, I stood up from my desk, as I went to prepare for tomorrow. I have been arranging Dexter schedule for the next one month, I just finished it now.
I went to my wardrobe as I picked up the necessary clothes I will be needing.
********
The Next Morning.
I heard the car horn as I quickly open the window to check who was there, it was Dex mom...thank goodness she arrived quickly.
She came down from the car as she looked stunning as ever, having money is pretty cool, I'm just from an average family so I don't know what being rich actually feels like.
I quickly carried my luggage as I looked around the house, I will be back in just three months...
I opened the door as she was already at the front of the door already.
"Good morning." I greeted as she kept on smiling, she replied me by hugging me also.
Is there anything special by moving into her son's house?
She offered me an hand to help me carry my luggage as I declined, there is no way I will let her carry that. I locked the door as I carried the luggage, Eveth already went to the car as she opened the truck and I placed my luggage in the truck.
I felt so nervous on our way to Dex's house, after few years of working with him, I'm still finding it hard to believe that I will be living with my boss.
I'm not sure if the decision is good or not? There will be no need of me waking up every morning trying to meet up with time. But he is going to stress the hell out of me since we will be living together.
I will be getting paid anyways.
"So what do you think of my son now,?" She asked, not this question again!!!
I have always tried my best to avoid this question anytime she asks, I know she wants me for her son and that is never going to happen!!! Not in my next life.
Not that her son isn't good but just that, he is really a jerk a big jerk. She even know the behaviour of her son.
"Ma, he is just my boss and he is hardworking and cares a lot about his business." I replied her.
"Everyone knows that, I am asking what you think about him personally." She asked again.
Huh? Should I really tell her what I think about her son? Does she really want to know?
"He is a jerk, he stresses me a lot!!! He thinks everything is easy! If not because I am in need of the money does he think I will be working for him!!! He will rarely find a P.A as hard working as me...sometime he thinks highly of himself, who does he think he is? A god?" I didn't know when I blurted those words out.
The next thing I heard was the tires screeching, God what have I said? I hope she doesn't hate me for what I have just said!!!
She quickly parked by the side of the road.
We both looked at each other and I saw the the expression on her face, but she doesn't look like someone who is angry.
"I'm sorry for the way my son has been treating you, I never knew it was up to that." She apologized on behalf of her son as she rubbed her hand on my shoulder.
"Please give him time he is going to change"
She pleaded, looks as if she wants me to wait and marry her son.
Does she think her son is ever going to change? It is not possible. He will always become worse than he has always been.
She started the car as we continued our journey. It felt so awkward, I thought she was going to talk to me or something.
We finally got to his house few minutes later, it was aroun 10am, I pressed the code to open the door of the room.
"I don't even know the code to my son's house." Eveth said as she crossed her shoulder and rolled her eyes which made me smile.
She's really cute and funny, I dragged in the luggage and we both entered and there appeared the jerk as he stood in the staircase staring at us with no expression on his face as usual.
"Are you not going to greet your mother? Is that how I taught you." Eveth lamented as she shot him daggers.
"I was about to do that mom, I was just surprised by her presence thus morning. Isn't it too early for her resume?" He replied her.
"Then you should starve to death? Huh? I've heard about how you have not been treating this nice lady over here." Eveth complained looking at me.
Chapter Six. Melanie's Point Of View. Oh Shi!!! I never imagined she was going to mention this here, she's making the matter worse. I bit my lips in shame as I looked at the jerk who was already staring at me. He didn't say anything as he walked back upstairs. "Hey I'm talking to you!!! How dare you walk out on me Huh? Or don't tell me you are occupied on Saturdays again." Eveth shouted as he walked back upstairs. He stopped walking as he looked back. Don't tell me he disobeyed his mother. "Last room by the left side the the hall way, that is your room." He said and I guess he was referring to me, he went back without even looking back. "I should look for a good wife for him that will teach him manners." She stated as she looked at me. This woman should realize that I am not interested in her proud son at all. "I will go to my room now." I excused myself as I bowed my head. I carried the luggage up the stairs as I went to the room he directed me to. Ahhhhh, life is going to b
Chapter Seven. Melanie's Pov. I was hungry since I haven't eaten anything this morning, I thought of preparing something for myself. I went downstairs as I didn't meet Eveth there, I guess she went out already. I went to the kitchen as I thought of what to eat. Bread will be better, I opened the cupboard as I brought out the flour and the ingredients I was going to use. "Should I prepare his own or not?" I asked myself as my mind diverted towards that jerk. No! I'm not preparing his own, he said he wasn't expecting me to come this early. So I should prepare this food around the time he wants me to come. Or I should just punish him a little bit? I decided I was going to mix large quantity of flour, after mixing I will keep much in the fridge and bake the rest. I started preparing the bread and I was almost done already, I brought out the bread from the oven. Gosh! I'm good when it comes to baking. I dropped the bread with the tray on the cabinet as I looked up and I was surpr
Chapter Eight. *The Next Morning* Dexter's Pov.... I woke up with my head banging so loud, it hurts so much. I wanted to come down from the bed as I realized my leg was on something soft and hard at the same time. I quickly removed my leg as it was a human that was on the floor. Shit! What the hell is she e doing in my room. Or is she scared to stay in her room? What a weak girl. Wait, what happened to me yesterday, don't tell me my trauma is back, I remembered calling Melanie to my room. She already know about it, I hope she doesn't ask more questions and she should just mind her business that way. "Hey wake up." I used my leg to hit her back. As she turned over with her thighs being exposed, what the!!! I watched as she opened her eyes slowly, when she saw me she quickly stood up from the floor. "What are you doing in my room, you can't even spare me some privacy? Are you that scared?" I asked immediately she stood up. "But sir..." She wanted to say something but she stopp
Chapter Nine. Three Months With My Cute Boss. Chapter Nine. Dexter's Pov. I don't know what made me to say I was going to follow her outside, am I crazy? To be honest to find another P.A that is as hardworking as her is really rare. This is the first time I will be seeing her dressing like that anyways. "Do you mean it? Why do you want to follow us?" My mom asked as I just rolled my eyes. I'm very sure my mom must be surprised by what I just said, I hope she doesn't think about another thing. "I'm coming I will go and change." I told them so as to wait for me. "Your face looks swollen and you look tired, what is wrong dear?" I heard my mother asking Melanie as I walked up the stairs, I hope she doesn't tell my mom that she slept in my room. ******** I was driving already, my mom insisted she was going to sit at the backseat while Melanie should sit with me at the front, it was not really a long journey and it didn't take long before we reached the boutique. It was a unisex
Chapter Ten. Dexter's Pov. It is in the evening already and Melanie isn't back, my mom was damn worried. "She will come back home." I assured her. The way she is pacing around is really bothering me. It was then I heard a car screeching at the front of our house, who could that be? I'm not expecting visitor also. My mom rushed out with the hope thinking she was Melanie while I followed her. It wasn't Melanie... A young guy came out from the car. I don't think I know this guy anywhere!!! Who is he? She was disappointed as it occurs to be a young guy, looks as if he came to see us. He walked towards us it was then I realized he really came to see us. "Are you Mr.Dexter?" He asked immediately he got closer to me. "Yes I am, what happened?" I asked when he said he was looking for me. "Miss Melanie is in the hospital right now. She wanted you to know so I had to..." He was talking before my mom interrupted. "Which hospital? And what happened to her?" My mom asked panicking He t
Chapter 11 Melanie's Pov. After waking up earlier, I saw the cute guy walking into my room. I guess he was the one who saved me. "Thank you very much." I said to him. "You don't have to thank me." He said placing the fruit on the desk that was beside me. "You are welcome." He said with a smile. He looked so cute, and he is gentle and understanding. I can't judge his behavior easily anyways, I just me him. "Please can you do me a favor?" I asked immediately. "Sure," He replied and I was so happy. He didn't even hear what I want to ask him first. "Please can you go to this place, and help me tell them I am at the hospital." I begged him as I told him the location. "Okay, I will." He assured me. I told him the resident name and my name also, that will really help. "Take care darling." He said as he walked out of the room. Wait, did he just call me darling? I can't remember when a male person called me such a sweet name last except from Dexter grand father, he is always find if
Chapter 12. Dexter's Pov. It's Monday already, I remembered the words my mom told me yesterday, I never wanted her to know that I saw Elizabeth in my dream again. I don't want her to be worried about me anymore. The smell of Melanie's food hit my nose, it smelled so nice as ever. I haven't bath yet, I brushed my teeth as I went downstairs to devour whatever she cooked. She was already dressed, I thought she is going to stay at home since she got admitted to the hospital yesterday, woah! She is really strong. She asked for her phone, to be honest...I trashed it, I wonder how a person will be collecting a huge amount of money and still be using a phone for three years. Is she not ashamed. The phone is already cracked on the screen and it is not okay anymore, I wonder how she is using a phone like that anyways. The psychologist should arrive anytime from now. It wasn't long before the psychologist arrived anyways. It's in the evening already and Melanie isn't around, not as if I c
Chapter 13. Melanie's Pov. I searched the trash bin as I looked for my phone I hope I will be able to find it. Just two trash cam left. I am really tired, I didn't even know when the tears start coming out from my eyes. I already missed two months of my period just because of stress. I hope this will end very soon. "Found it!!!" I muttered to myself when I saw the phone in the third can. I walked back inside I tried switching on the phone but it wasn't working. Then I plugged it and it didn't on, it was then I bursted into tears. Am I really crying because of the phone? I am just fed up, I should go and use my anti depressants. Then I remembered the doctor telling me they found a lot in my blood stream. Yeah, I have been taking overdose lately. I walked through the hallway as I planned on going to my room, I heard him whimpering as I wondered what was going on. It sounded as if he was in pain. I opened the door to his room as I met him holding to his chest tightly. I quick
