Chapter 4

MY BOSS AND I

He is cold but I'm humorous

Justin's Pov

Oh my God, I really pity that poor girl. I don't even know if she will get the job or not.

My cousin is such a heartless and cold man.

But why did he act like that? Do they know each other?

I'm still looking at the elevator dumbfounded and now I'll just head back to my office and wait for her to come down.

.......................................................................

Damian's Pov

I'm now out of my elevator heading to my office and it's all silent as it should be.

The silly girl ain't screaming anymore.

Did she decide to shut her big mouth now?

I reach for my office and the security man opens the door for me to get in but he looks worried.

"Samson are you okay?" I ask him.

"Sir...your bodyguards...they brought in an unconscious girl and placed her on your Sofa" he explains nervously and I instantly realise it's the silly girl.

Did she have to faint? Is she so frightened of getting into my office such that she faints?

I quickly get in and find her asleep on my expensive Sofa.

"Boss, she fainted as soon as the elevator took off" says my lead bodyguard.

"Just tickle her. I'm sure she is faking it" I say with no doubt that she just wants to escape again.

My lead bodyguard, Samson, pulls her shoes off and starts to tickle her using his fingers.

That's gross but...she's got cute feet. Not like I like them. They are stinky!

I'm sure her shoe size is 38. Just the perfect size.

My bodyguards are busy trying wake her up but she isn't moving.

"Is she dead?" I ask Samson

"No boss but her pulse is really low. I think she needs a doctor" says Samson and he sounds really serious.

"Who is going to pay for the doctor?" I ask coz I want to secure my money.

Since yesterday when I met this silly girl, I've had to spend money for her silly mistakes.

I had to import a new set of side mirrors for my new car! And now I have to call a doctor for her?

She looks poor and desperate for money.

Wait, I start to think that she did everything intentionally.

How did she know where I work?

She had planned all this, just to get me to fall for her and then she can dig my money.

Haa! she is so foolish to think I can fall for a poor girl like her.

She is not even pretty.

"Boss please stop thinking too much. We can make her pay for the side mirrors and for the doctor too. But that only happens if she stays alive" says Samson bringing my mind back to the scene in the office.

"Okay. Get the family doctor here, now!" I command and Samson goes out to make a phone call.

Just then my one and only bestfriend, Dominic, walks in and gets shocked to see the girl sleeping on my office Sofa.

"Is she the same girl you encountered yesterday?" He asks surprised but smiling.

"Yes! She is that troublemaker" I reply really bored as i walk out to my desk and have a sit.

"What happened to her?" He asks as he keeps checking her out.

"Don't ask bro. I just want her to wake up, pay up my money and then she can leave from here forever" I say.

"So harsh on her too? She is pretty. Look at her face...and her li..." he starts his flirty behaviour which I don't like.

"Cut it out dom. Did you get the picture of her that I sent to your email?" I ask

"Yes I did. There is no much information about her but she looks like someone I know"

"Her name is Jacinta Elba. She is an adopted child to miss Saira Elba who owns a bar near the beach. She has a young sister by the name Jessica Elba. She is in 5th grade currently while Jacinta is a drop out. I think she dropped out because she couldn't afford to pay her school fees. She works at their bar during the night and works as a waiter during the day, at the Galana cafe. They came to miss Saira three years ago. No one knows where they came from nor who their parents were. The family of three ladies is currently having debts from three different loan companies just to keep their bar running. I don't think it will last long anyway. The loan companies might sieze everything they have. That's all I know for now" explains Dominic sadly and just then the doctor walks in with Samson.

"Poor people with poor minds" I murmur but Dom hears it.

He is weirdly looking at the girl being examined by the doctor and he seems to be lost in thoughts.

"Hey Dom, Are you okay?" I ask but he is walking out on me as if he is not even hearing me.

It's as if he can't even see the rest of us.

What's wrong with me?

..........................................................................

Dominic's Pov

Damian and I have been friends for many years now and I have done many researches of people for him.

It's just that this girl is different. Not because she is poor, but because ...I think...i know her from somewhere.

Who is this Jacinta?

Where have I seen her?

"Hey Dom, Are you okay?" Damian asks but I'm in no position to answer.

I just find myself going out of the office but I can't stop looking at her.

There is something about this girl, that attracts me to her.

I feel like...like I've known her from somewhere but where?

I will look up into her case one more time.

I have to know her real family background.

Maybe that's how I will also know why I feel attracted to her.

I'm just about to head into the elevator but someone knocks me down.

Can't he see where he is going?

It's Justin. What's he doing here?

.........................................................

Damian's Pov

Dominic is gone and I'm left alone with the doctor and my bodyguards.

If I pay the doctor, this girl ain't leaving my custody.

I don't want to be like those loan companies.

"So what's wrong with her? She is faking right?" I ask as the doctor stands up.

"She is suffering a dangerous trauma. Samson said she dint want to get into the elevator as you forced her in. Maybe she experienced a kidnapping that was similar to what you did, or maybe she has a fear of the elevator. She can answer all that when she gets up. I just gave her an injection to boost her pulse.

She'll wake up soon but please, don't force into things she doesn't like. She might die" explains the doctor.

Who knew this troublemaker has such trouble in her life?
