Chapter 20 - Making money

"Excuse me?" I asked totally baffled.

Mind spending the night with me??
What had he meant by that?

Was he right in the head?

"What kind of illegal activities have you entangled yourself in ? "He continued casually stepping out of the warm ambience of the restaurant.

" I never involved myself in such business  .Why are you asking me that ?"I snapped .

"Merely curious on why you changed your identity , that's all ."

"Let me guess....you got  a new identity so you can mingle with illegal stuff to make money ?"

"Absolutely."He said and I didn't find a pinch of discomfiture  in his features.

"But why ?"
For crying out loud he was the Jenkins' heir!!!

"I need a huge amount to start a business ."

"Why not work with your dad?"

He chewed his inner lip clearly irked with me throwing questions at him .

"Because ....I don't like it ?"

"Hmm okay ...but why not ask him for the money .I'm sure you can give you more than what you can earn from these illegal stuff your dealing with."

"He doesn't want me to start one .Doesn't believe I have it in me to own a company and bring all the profits home. "

"If I were your dad...I wouldn't either ." I said shrugging .

He stopped abruptly in the middle of the pavement and faced me -more like towering above me as though he wanted to tell he was bigger than me and could crush me with ease .

Ha!As though!
I scoffed .

"You don't know me , I prefer if you keep that lips of yours shut and follow me now." He almost growled .

God . This guy had temper issues .

"Where to ?" I asked. "Why would I be accompanying you if you are to make money for your business ?"

I had other errands to solve like going and bashing the guy's face who let my previous identity slip so easily .

"I'm returning your money tonight ."

"Oh .Um...why can't you just transfer it to my account directly ?"

"Trust me .You wouldn't wanna miss this fun ." he said winking at me .

He walked to his car and I followed him quietly unsure .

I sat in the passenger's  seat and looked up at him as he started the car .

There was one thing I had to be sure before leaving this guy ...

"Renzo..." I whispered dead serious .
It was the first time I truly addressed him by his name .
"Yes?" He asked glancing at me with a furrow in his eyebrows taking in my look.

"You know I really don't care if you keep my money unless ...unless you don't tell anything about -"

"I thought I made it clear earlier that I wasn't interested in busting your little secret." he cut me off.

"Back in the party last night , your dad questioned me a lot , I'm sure he has his doubts about me and -"
"Your right .He does .I heard him talking about you a few days ago .But don't fret about it .My lips are zipped ."
