Lovers Crises

CHAPTER 17

I would have never underestimated destiny but I think I just did for today.  I could not escape the inevitable, I was currently sitting in the office of Zohar's or Vincent or whatever his name was as my father and him discussed my situation of working a few hours as his personal assistant after school days. I'm regretting the fact that I accepted this offer. And changing my mind isn't the best idea at the moment because if I do, i could easily bring him to his early death and I would never forgive myself If that were to happen.

How could this guy come into the picture so easily, I just don't get it. He stole my first kiss,a kiss that I haven't gotten over yet and all I want to do is scream in his face and ask him why he kissed me in the first place. But I couldn't because Jackson was present and I wouldn't to ruin their relationship and him to think so low of me.

And you enjoyed it too. Admit it. It was a good kiss and I hate to admit that the guy's good looking,well built, charming and wealthy and I still don't get why I did not figure it out that night. I should have questioned him and we could have talked and got to know each other better but because of my stupidity, I run.

And I can't look him in the face. Well how can I, when the dude just lied to my father and his godfather in his face for me that he came to give a speech in my school for a project well done about financing and me being a student followed him for an autograph and Jackson had to laugh and ask me if I really did that and I had to say yes.

''And so its finalized,Nicholas, my driver will bring her straight to the company after school.'' Jackson said to Vincent as they bought stood up and shook hands as if finalizing a deal about me which they someway did.

Both men turned to me and I just wish the earth could swallow me somehow,I looked to Vincent's face to see him smirking my way to which i rolled my eyes at him. He frowned at me and I managed a smile of my own.

Jackson begun '' But right now,I need to take the young lady home before her mother bites my head off''. He joked and that made all three of us laugh and that's when I realized that Vincent laughter was like music to my ears and I wish it never stopped but its impossible. We awkwardly shared a side ways hug and I sniffed his expensive cologne like a dog, quietly though, I wouldn't want to embarrass myself in front of this business tycoon.

''What time would you be here tomorrow?'' that was the first thing he has spoken to me since he got here and it kind of pleased me to know that he somehow acknowledged me.

'' Okay so the college closes at two.''I smugly replied his sentence and a smile he never returned.

We said our goodbyes and he escorted as to the elevator. He waved us and we waved back as the doors closed. I released a  huge sigh of relief as I stared at my reflection in the elevators.

''So how you find Zohar, my godson?''

I said the first thing that came to mind '' beautiful''. and Jackson actually laughed at my statement and that's when I remembered what I said.

''Of course I know that and he is a lady's man.''

I blushed and somehow asked him a question that has been bugging me ever since I saw Vincent.

''How old is he?''

''I can't tell and you gotta ask him yourself.'' he smiled my way and I pleaded him with my eyes but he didn't budge.

We exited the elevator as we headed to the car and  off. I wanted to know more about him and I have to find a way to get Jackson to spill.

''So how does he do it.? I mean, he manages both companies from here or ?''
