(Hi, well I'm kinda nervous no one will read this but I also have a striking confidence that you will love it. This is actually my first novel on Wattpad please comment and tell me what you think. I apologize if you find grammatical errors as you read.
I'll advise you grab a bowl of popcorn while you read;-).)[Theresa's POV]
It was 7:31pm by the time I got home.Work had been stressful today- even though I loved my job- and the only thing on my mind right now is to hit the shower. The moment the water came in contact with my skin,I sighed with satisfaction, just then I heard my phone ring.
Who on earth could that be?
I ignored the call but it rang again. I groaned and got out wrapping a towel around me.
"Hello, am I speaking to Miss Theresa Martins?" The male voice over the phone asked
"Yes,who are you?"
"Your caretaker."
"O... kay?" I said waiting for him to explain
"Miss Martins, I believe you are aware that your rent is over due.6 months to be precise and we've had a lot of patience with you. I think it's time you pay up or..."
Before he could continue I spoke
"I know you guys have been patient with me but I still need you guys to hold on a little bit. I promise..."
He cut in
"Your promises are always empty. You'll either pay up by the month end or we'll be forced to evict you."
With that he hung up.
Gosh!where am I going to get that money from?
I immediately lost my appetite. I went to the bed and lay on my back staring at the ceiling. I rolled but couldn't even sleep. The next thing I knew was my alarm buzzing.
What's wrong with this thing?
I turned angrily at the clock and was shocked to see that it was dawn already. Immediately, I got ready for work.★ ★ ★
"Good morning Tessa." I was greeted by my colleague and friend Jeremy
"Morning Jeremy, where's Camille?"I asked when I saw her things but not her
"She was called by the boss." I sat
"What makes you sound like that?"I asked because of the way he said ' the boss '
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"He flew in yesterday and he's not one to mess with."
Camille came looking all sweaty
"What's wrong?"I asked concerned
"I thought he was going to fire me."she replied
"Why?"
"Why?Why?," She asked me in disbelieve "Because that man literally sacks people for the wrong dress code,if you're thirty seconds late to his office,if you get him the wrong coffee,silly stuffs like that!"
"He's mean but also hardworking,to raise a company from the scratch to the height it is now,he didn't do that by getting all friendly."Jeremy added
"He's too cute to be that rude." She huffed and return to her desk.
The telephone on my table rang
"Hello, Theresa Martins." I knew it was the boss secretary calling
"The boss request for the files now."
I arranged them and got ready to move
"Wish you luck."Jeremy said
"Never you look into his eyes."she warned
"How bad can it be?"
I took the elevator to the top floor.When I got there I knocked but there was no reply so I decided to enter.The moment I shut the door and turned.
"Did I ask you to come in?"his voice spoke nothing but authority and power
"I came to deliver..."
"It was a question." He never looked up from his computer and I couldn't see his face clearly.
"No,but..."
"Drop the files and use the door." It was a command.
As I got to his desk I could see his face Camille was wrong, he's not cute,he looks like he just stepped out of a storybook. This guy looks like an angel,well maybe not an angel- angels are cute- so he's devilishly handsome
"If you're going to keep staring like your eyes don't have what to do,put them to use by arranging my shelf."
I scoffed but went to arrange his shelf .
"They look organized." I told him
"Then clean all the books one after the other."
When on earth am I supposed to finish this? The books are much.
Someone opened the door and walked in.
"You couldn't even call to tell me you've arrived."
The man said as he went to sit with him .
"I did tell you I was arriving."my boss replied him still not looking up.
"It's not the same as arrived."
"What's the point in passing the same information twice?"
"You could've at least taken the day off, it's not like anyone can sack you."
"I don't need an off day."
"Come on, don't be such a workaholic."
"I am a workaholic."
"Have you heard from your mom lately?"
"Is there ever a day that she doesn't disturb me?"
"Well you can say that but it's not the same as not picking her calls."
"I'm a busy man and I expect her to know that."
His office phone rang
"Sir, your mother is here."his secretary said through the phone.
The door flew open and I wasn't surprised when I saw a furious woman.
"Morning mother." He look up
"Why haven't you been answering my calls?"She asked
"I'm busy."
"You have plenty of workers to do that for you."
"Do what? Be busy for me?"
"Oh Mevrick,you need to settle down honey,you need a wife to take care of you."
"I don't need anyone mom,I thought we've gotten over this topic."
"We can never go over this topic."
"I told I'm busy."
"So you say but you're never too busy to have a harlot in your arms every now and then."[Mevrick's POV]
I can't believe she's bringing this thing about marriage again. I told her not to expect me to get married neither should she expect grandchildren cause I'm not the type for family.
"What do you want?"
Wrong question for you to ask Mevrick
"I came to show you someone."
Just then a girl walked in covered in make-up and exposed dresses.
If my mother think is going to entice me, she's joking.
"This is Alina. Mr Sandwood's daughter."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." She bit her lips
I ignored her.
What do you want me to say?
It's a pleasure to meet you too? Cause it's not.
"Mrs Lockwood,what if your son is already engaged but decided to keep it on a low profile?"Nickson looked at me "Tell her man."
What in the world?!
"We wanted to keep it low, I didn't want my fiancee in the spotlight."I played along at least this would get her off my back
"Who do you think you can fool? you're engaged and yet you're seen with different women every week."
"Because I'm seen with them doesn't mean I sleep with them and beside it was a distraction for the press."
"What distraction?"
"I'm known to be a player mom and if the press notice I'm not anymore, they're going to start digging which I don't want but since you know already,I'd like you to meet the love of my life."
I stood up and walked over to the girl cleaning my books and held her by the waist.
