Heels, love, money.

Chapter Ten.

I never saw Eva for the rest of the day instead a very angry Mr. Adrian found me in my last room at 3:30p.m .

"Jeremy ? "

" Yes boss,"

He frowned at my address.

" Did you eat your food ? "

" What food ? "

" Lunch, "

So, it was true. Despite myself, I shot him a glare that had him stumbling back.

" So you actually dictated on my lunch today , sir ," The title was meant to irk him and it did for he set his brows in a frustrated furrow.

" The doctor called and instructed that you should be put on a balanced diet meal until your ankle was fully healed, "

Anger.

" Fully healed ! I am fully healed, see, I don't need to be dictated upon - " I decided to jump forgetting the floor was slippery and wet and so I skidded on my landing, my knee joining to my aching ankle bent and the ankle twisting again with an audible snap.

I howled.

I was certain, I had broke it this time.

" So much for your healing, "

Was his sarcastic reply which I could not really register as he hauled me up in his strong arms out the restroom . I was supposed to be concerned over the fact I was in my employer's arms, fitted well infact and the attention it brought about but I was not bothered.

It was painful !

What was I thinking ?

Who even walks on a minor twist let alone wear heels in such condition ?

Finally, jumping in heels just to prove an invalid point, I was insane.

I was pushed further into his chest.

Smells good, refreshing...

Mint and pine...

Okay, stop being a pervert!

I jolted, staring and realized I was in his lap in his very executive Bentley.

He seemed furious but whoever was driving seemed more furious.

" King, I don't like this..."

Jay.

" You've never like anything, "

" You remember Neil ? "

" She looks nothing like her - "

" Oh ! Yes , cute where's Neil's facial features were pretty, curvy where Neil's was slender and lots of hair where Neil's was a shaven head but both from the streets,"

" If I didn't know better, I'd think you want her for yourself ! "

Silence.

" So you do - "

" This isn't about me King ! "

" Then what is it about ? "

" About you ! Remember what Neil did. We all know what these hookers do, once a hooker always a hooker, she'll con you of your money and you know it. Stop being blinded by your faith to rescue her thinking that she'll change. She'll never change ! Nairobi is not for the weak hearted, King, love doesn't exist in relationship for such women but it's just a business venture- a money making scheme. So many good looking women and God fearing women in church who are pure- sticking to virtues instilled to us since Sunday school why are you so bent on pursuing way ward women ? "

" We haven't established that fact yet, Jay , "

" What fact ? The fact that she's a hooker ! Do you need signs and wonders for this too - "

" Enough ! " Mr. Adrian cut in angrily.

" It seems as if Neil's signs and wonders we're not enough ! She compromised you - "

" She didn't! "

" Liar ! "

" I may lie about other things but matters concerning my purity I can't, "

What !

" I loved Neil, I truly did. I lay my cards on the table and told her I would never touch her until we married, at first she agreed but with time she grew to seduce me. One day, I came to her apartment with fruits after she claimed she was too sick for work only for her to open the door in a mid-thigh red dress. She locked me in, tempted me in every way possible and I grew angry, stormed out. The next day she performed her trickery on me. It was clear her motives were ill and I have a feeling had I given in that night, I would have known how ill. I've always been pure Jay and I intend to remain that way until marriage - "

" Only that you keep pursuing loose women with no morals and no worth - "

The imbecile ! How dare he -

" Careful Jay ! "

" It's true, that woman on your lap if not careful will make you break the very chastity vow you made to yourself, "

" You may be right, but do tie me up before that happens, "

I heard him say in amusement.

***
I shut my eyes closed the rest of the journey, least they figured out I was eaves dropping but I felt awful.

Ashamed.

The fact that a man still held on to his purity, embarrassed everything out of me especially that I found out he knew or highly suspected I was a loose woman.

Concerning whether I had morals, I did have morals, I was only pushed to do what I had to do for a living.

Dirty,

Filthy.

That is what was on their minds. I was a woman without any form of self respect according to them, a woman who did not care about her dignity, who needed rescuing from the clutches of evil.

I sighed.

I would have to save that salary, when it was enough, I would leave and sponsor my education .

Jay and his King would never have to see me ever again.
