Chapter 7

MY BOSS AND I

He is cold but I'm humorous

Ep 6

Damian's Pov

It's 7pm and I'm in my house ready for the dinner with Stella.

Samson comes in with news for me.

"What news do you have for me Sam" I ask

"Sir, the silly girl and her family are in trouble" he says

"How do you mean?" I ask as I sit on my home Sofa.

"Her sister has been kicked out of school since they couldn't afford to pay her fees. The bank where they acquired loans is siezing their house in 7 days. I got the information from their neighbours. What do I do sir?" He asks after his explanation.

"These poor people and their unending problems. Don't do anything. Drive me to Stella's dinner. This is the address" I say and hand over my phone to him.

He checks the address and we drive off.

I hate being late for anything so I want to arrive at the place at exactly 8pm.

I don't know why I can't get the silly girl out of my head.

Should I help her? She owes me alot already.

Why am I getting restless, it's her problem, not mine.

Let me call Dominic for solution. He gives me solutions to things like this.

"Hey Dom, I need your advice" I say immediately he picks up.

"What's up bro" he asks

"What if someone you know is in trouble, like real trouble but the same person owes you a lot. You don't know whether to help or not, but you feel restless. What should you do?" I ask not wanting him to know that I'm talking about the silly girl.

"Dude I always tell you, listen to your heart. Does your heart tell you to help that person?" He asks and it's just not an answer.

"I don't know bro" I say

"Listen, if you are willing to help and you can help, just help the person out. Always do good to others coz you never know when you will need their help in future. Maybe not in terms of money but in some other way. If you can help, just help so that you can feel at ease. Another thing bro, never expect anything back after helping someone. Do good and go your way. God will repay your kindness" he says and just like I said, he is my solution giver.

After those words, I feel at ease and I will help that silly girl.

I won't let her know that I helped her.

"Sam, after dropping me off, make sure to clear the debts of that silly girl from the bank and pay her sister's school fees for this whole year. Don't let anyone find out that I did that for them" I say and I feel really good.

I don't know why I feel good. Is it my first time to help someone or what?

Maybe it's my first time to help someone.

I dint know it feels this good.

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

Damian goes for the dinner date with Stella, which he finds boring but still tolerates it until he drops her home.

Dominic on the other hand is surprised to hear that Damian restless due to helping someone. He wonders who is it.

Jacinta can't sleep, she does not even have her supper. She is thinking of how she will get her sister back to school and pay off the bank.

Life is just unfair for her and the night is long for her but is still dawns and it's finally morning.

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

Jacinta's Pov

I think I've been awake all night but I still have to go to work.

I'm resuming at exactly 7am and it's now 6:15.

I take a quick shower and pick out one of my purple fitting dresses and put on.

I put on my almost finished shoes and head out but I get a phone call.

"Hello, is this Jacinta Elba, sister to Jessica Elba?" The person over the phone asks.

"Yes that's me. Did my sister fight with anyone?" I ask since Jessie is mischievous.

"No no. I'm just calling to apologise for sending her home yesterday. Actually, we want to let you know that a charity organisation has paid up her school fees for this whole year. The organisatIon just picked a few students and your sister was among the chosen ones. You can let her resume to school today" says the person on the phone and if this is a miracle then it's only by God's grace.

"I'm not dreaming right?" I ask and the person laughs before answering.

"This is not a dream but reality. Let your sister come to school. Have a nice day ma'am" she says and hangs up.

I can't just stop the smile from forming on my face.

"Jessie wake up! You are going to school Jessie wake up!" I scream as I wake her up.

Aunt Saira walks in and the two of them are looking at me as if I have poop on my face.

I explain to them about the phone call and now the house is full of joy.

It's not as dull as it was yesterday.

I bet this day is going to be great.

As I walk out to the door for work, I find a letter dropped on the door post and I pick it up.

It's from the bank. I'm sure it's a reminder of us moving out.

Wait, no! No! It's something else.

"Your outstanding debts at the central bank of Philippine has been cleared!" I read that out loud and miss Saira comes to where I am.

What! Someone tell me it's not a dream cos if it's one, I don't want to wake up.

I like this dream already

Damian' Pov

I'm at my gym room doing alitte push ups when Sam walks in.

"Mission accomplished boss. They are happy now and no one knows you helped them" he says as he stands at ease.

"Okay Sam, get my car ready. I'll be out in 15 minutes" I say as I grab a bottle of water and head out of the gym room.

My body is all sweaty and a cold shower is all I need and a cup of hot tea which my female servant has already prepared.

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

Jacinta's Pov

I've arrived at the company and i still have 5 minutes before it's 7.

I can use this time to use the staircase and reach the office.

I sigh before i head up. Other staff are also heading in one after the other.

Some are coming in two's.

Waking up to the 20th floor is no joke but I'll have to get used to this for now.

I wonder who paid up the bank. It was such a huge amount.

All glory goes to God.

...........

I've just arrived the 20th floor and my legs are burning.

I think I will lose a lot of weight in this. My body is already small.

I will become a stick in two days, just two days.

I meet up the security man outside the office and he lets me in.

I think the arrogant boss told him about me.

I'm glad the office is clean and I just have to arrange the few files on his locker.

I sit down to rest afterwards and his secretary comes in.

She looks at me disgustingly and leaves after dropping the files she brought in.

I'm really tired right now such that I don't give a damn to anyone.

I sit back on the Sofa and rest.

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

It's been 15 minutes since anyone came in the office but now I hear footsteps after the elevator shuts.

I can hear clearly so I quickly stand up, just incase it is the rich arrogant boss.

Yeah yeah I'm right, it's him, followed by a lady behind him as he steps in.

"Stella?!" I can't believe my eyes as I say that loud in shock and drop my purse with my phone.

"Jacinta?!" She says and looks shocked herself.

"Do you know each other?" Asks the arrogant boss looking at both of us.
