It was atleast ten minutes later so I rushed down stairs but I didn't make it look like am rushing but when I got there noone was down there but Jacob I was gonna turn back and go back to the bedroom but I stayed. I really do want to forgive him but it just hurts too much. When I got there Mrs.Johnson came and said 'Mrs.Adams' she made a face because she knew I hated that name when they were referring to me 'you came' and she showed me to my seat next to Jacob which was at the head of the table. I was feeling uneasy after our talk half hour ago. The maids carry in our meal. And I can't believe how much food is here and it's my favorite foods, um it's steak with mashed potatoes and lamb chops. There is also healthy foods and knowing him even though we're not talking he won't let me leave until I take atleast a bite of the vegetables. 'This smells delicious expect the vegetables am not a fan' I said digging to take a big out of it. He looked please,he haven't said a word since our talk I think he's not pushing for me to understand anymore. I think he's finally on the right track to try and win me over. We've been sitting here for five minutes without talking so I decided to talk to him. Yes it's bad manners to speak while eating but I don't really care I just want him to talk to me he's too quiet.'Sooo how was your day?' And I gave him a fake smile he saw it but even it was fake concern in some point he was grateful and he answered 'it was fine I got a lot of work done.' His smile was as fake as was mine and i knew we wouldn't get anywhere so for the rest of our meal we didn't talk. And when I finished my plate I took a bite of some vegetables and left and I went to the bedroom and changed and went to bed and I fell asleep instantly. The next morning no-one was there but you would he passed here i can smell his scent, his beautiful manly scent and then there was a knock bringing me back to reality and he came in 'Mrs.Johnson will give you your breakfast and if your going some check in with me.' 'I sure will and have been meaning to ask you why your employees fear you so much?' And he smiled 'it makes them more obedient ' 'That not relevant you still can be nice to them and they can be obedient ' And I yawned and when i check my phone I saw that it's Margaret's birthday and i think he saw the shock on my face because he asked me 'what's wrong ' ' its Margaret,my best friend's birthday and I didn't buy her anything. Oooh she gonna kill me after everything she's help me -' and he touched my shoulder and said I should use his credit card and buy her something.
And he kissed my forehead and left and so I went to take a bath and got dressed i ate my breakfast and i went with Steve,my driver, and I drove around trying to find the perfect gift and there it was a charm bracelet with her favorite places and things and it cost a hundred dollars and i decided it was the present to give her.
I know it's not real but it the best. When I was finish it was noon so I decided to eat lunch at Margaret and I favorite place, Ana's delicious food and I sat down and placed a order for the largest fries they have and i slowly eat it all off and after Steve went for a bathroom break he held the phone that Jake had and gave it to me and he said ' Alexia my whole family is coming over for dinner today because they wanted to meet you and I didnt want to ambush you at the last minute ' ' Come on it's my best friend birthday and I have to bail on her ' and he sighed and I said ' fine but that means you can't keep me on a leash
