Chapter 6

"Looking at the vehicle this man sent to come to pick me or rather the vehicle he was in yo come pick me up from my parent's house as though I didn't know my way for Christ sakes I was an adult "she screamed in her mind and she was not loving the kind of stares her neighbours were giving her they were good at gossiping and she knew as she entered that vehicle they were going to grind her name so bad that she would bite off her tongue as the old saying goes " when people gossip about you, you but your tongue".

The driver offered to take her bag but she refused and told him she didn't want to bother him and that she was fond of fending for herself those words had a deep meaning to them but if you didn't know who Isabel Halls was you would know what she meant by she was fond of fending for herself.

She got into the car on the insistence of the driver who wanted to open and close the door for her.

when she got in she didn't know he was inside because he didn't have the courtesy of coming out to meet her.

By the way, she didn't understand why he was trying to have a soft spot or something because from the way he behaved with her the other day she knew better than to think he was a good man and why would she have her in mind to personally come with his driver to come to pick her up from their house besides she was just going to be a maid to him till the year her supposed salary which would never be paid to her was going to cover the forty million her parents had taken from his company and she knew it was going to take her to her old age. Meaning her parents had sold her for the rest of her life to work for the forty million she was sure she had not tasted a cent of.

She didn't greet him as she entered the car she faced the window as she noticed he was seated by her and didn't have her time either well that was better.

it was about time she maintained her distance from him so she wouldn't have to explain herself to him part from answering the necessary questions he asked which of course she was sure he had already done his background check on her that was what they did as millionaires used their money to intimidate those who were lower than them not that she held any ill feelings towards any millionaire but she just hated her life right now because of what had happened to her she couldn't believe she was in this man's car going to his house to work for her parent's sake.

Her stomach began to growl and from the side of her eyes, she noticed he turned and looked at her but then it was brief because he turned his face and continued working simultaneously both on his phone and laptop and she was curious to know what he was doing typing profusely on his laptop but then again she didn't want him to think she wanted to be involved in his life they had to establish a strict employer and employee relationship and nothing more than that.

Her stomach growled more as she clutched it to stop it from growling and she knew why it was growling, she had refused to eat the food get mother had offered her because she felt her mother was trying to but her off with food but then again she was one suffering now with a growling stomach and money which was not enough for her she had just enough she took from her savings to take her till the day they decided to give a little money from her supposed money she was going to work at the mansion she was going to.

She was engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't know when they had stopped at a fast food joint and he had ordered fries and extra mayo for her and a soft drink and he sent it her way without looking at her at first she wanted to be heady and refuse eating but the way her tummy had been growling if she knew she would have taken a little of the food her mother had prepared for her.

She told him thanks but he simply nodded his head and she could see from the corner of her eyes that he had a wrap of food for himself "oh so the demon eats regular food too, I thought he ate flesh" was what she was saying in her thoughts. She began devouring the food when she noticed he had raised his head and was looking at her directly into her eyes, she hissed and turned to the window and within minutes she was done with her food then she turned and couldn't open her soft drink because it was too tightly close so she sluggish begged him to open it he took it once again and wasn't looking at her he opened it and gave her and then she did the unthinkable she asked if she could have his wrap of food she had not seen him eating it so why not have it for herself he looked at her for what seemed like ages and her tummy needle more food she was a foodie and she needed the food as soon as possible so she looked at him intently into his eyes as he raised the wrap of food and gave her before continuing to work she asked him if he didn't want to eat and yet silence he didn't answer her and she mumbled under her breath how rude he was for not responding to her questions then suddenly he dropped the phone and laptop and decided to take a nap. The drive to his house was three hours so one could say he lived in another town different from the town where he had unwillingly moved her out.

Looking at his facial features they were soft and she couldn't help but drool a bit .
