His Fake Personal Assistant

Chapter Eight

Melissa ❤❤❤

I woke up with a start. The car nearly collided into a trailer but we missed slightly and the car just changed directions into the bush.

Oh God I'm about to die. I just can't die now. I'm too young to die at this age. I haven't even enjoyed much in my life. I started panicking. I didn't know what to do at the moment. I did what I could do to help, and I did. I screamed my lungs out until the car suddenly stopped when it hit a tree.

Mr McCarthy was breathing hard but thank God he was ok. I on the other hand hit my head on the dash board. My head was going round in circles. I heard Mr McCarthy screaming my name but I just ignored him.

I stuttered out of car because it suddenly felt too hot for me. I nearly fell when I tripped on a branch but Mr McCarthy caught me before falling.

“ Are you ok ? ” he asked. His voice full of worry and concern.

“ Yeah, just a little dizzy.” I replied with a smile.

“ You are bleeding. Shit! It's all my fault, I'm sorry. ” he said with guilt written all over his face.

“ It's ok. It was just an accident.” I tried to assure him that it was no fault of his.

“ No it's not, it's my fault that this happened. It's my fault that you are in this condition. Argh” he groaned out. Clearly frustrated with himself.

I have never seen him like this before. I just kept on staring at him while he continued battling with himself like this.

I was still in his arms. Yeah he still hadn't placed me down yet. My body was on fire even though this situation is not right to be feeling like this. I tried to ignore the feeling but I just couldn't.

He put me down on a log not far from where the car is. “ I'm going to get the first aid kit. Just keep calm and wait here.” he told me and disappeared into the dark.

He came back with a torch, two blankets, water and a first aid kit. Where did all this come from. I was very surprised he had all this in his car.

He wiped off the blood with ethanol. It was awfully painful but I tried my best not to scream. I just whimpered here and there.

He covered the sore with a plaster and gave me the water and an Aspirin to take. I was very grateful. He wrapped the blanket around me and sat beside me on the log.

“ You know. We are stuck here doing nothing and it's late so we won't be able to get a cab to take us back. My chauffeur is out of town so we have to wait till tomorrow before we can get back. I'm sorry.” he said feeling bad all over again.

“ Don't worry it's fine. Let's play a game.” I suggested.

“ Let's play twenty questions and answers.” I said grinning from hear to hear. He chuckled but agreed any way.

“ Ok but you have to start first since you suggested it.” he stated and placed my head on his shoulder. I felt all giddy inside.

“ How old are you ?” I felt stupid asking him this question but I want to know so I went with it.

He chuckled but answered anyway. “ I'm twenty six.”

“ You are too old.” I told him with a frown and he laughed.

“ Ok it's your turn.” I told him

“ How old are you” he asked

“ Touché.  I'm twenty two I replied him.

“ You are too young.” he said and we both laughed. I yawned and he ordered me to go back to sleep. But before drifting off into darkness I felt him kiss my forehead. I slept with a smile on my face.

I woke up in the car and wondered how I got into the car. Mr McCarthy was working on the car when I woke up. I got out of the car and greeted him with a good morning.

“ What are you doing ?” I asked him.

“ Trying to get the car back on track.” he replied. “ How was your night ” he asked after he answered my question.

“ Fine, just a little stiff after falling asleep in a car ”. I said with a fake pout and he just laughed at my childish ways.

He gave me the off because of the incidence and also to allow my head heal before going back to work. I was grateful because I don't think I can be able to work today.

He fixed the car and we got back on the road. He dropped me off at home and headed straight to work.

I opened the door and was met by both Penelope and my Aunt looking very worried. Penelope rushed towards me once she spotted me.

“ Oh My God! Where have you been ? We've been looking all over for you and your phone is also off. What happened ?’’ she just kept on throwing questions at me.

“ We had a little accident on the way and my phone went off. Sorry ’’. I explained to both of them.

“ You had us very worried hunny ”. Aunt Kaylee said and hugged me.

“ I have to rush to work. Are you coming ?” Penelope asked after Aunt Kaylee was done squeezing the life out of me.

“ No he gave me the day off ”. I choked out

“ Ok then I'll see you later ”. She said and rushed out.

I spent the rest of my day watching movies and reading novels. I received a text from Penelope telling me we are having a girls night out.

I prepared myself and got ready for the sleepover at Pene's. I packed all my necessities and just waited for her to come pick me up.

Pene got here around 6:00pm and took me to her place. I fell in love with her car the moment I laid my eyes on it. I don't know the name of the car but I know it's a sports car. It was painted in red and had nice interior and exterior designs and its seat  are made of leather and they look new too.

She drove me to her place. Her apartment isn't far from the work building. It was a nice and simple apartment. It had a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom. All in all it was an amazing apartment for just one person.

We got ready for our sleepover. Pene decided I needed a makeover and got ready in making my hair up for me.

In the process of the hair making my phone rang. I picked it up and was surprised to see my boss calling me.

“ Hello sir. How my I help you ?” I spoke into the phone.

“ We are outside the office, you don't have to address me as sir. Just call me by my name ”. He replied.

“ Okay but not to be rude but why did you call ?” I asked him.

“ I called just to check up on you. You hit your head pretty bad yesterday ”. He replied to my question.

“ Oh I'm fine. Thanks for asking.” I answered hm.

I actually forgot Pene was around until she spoke up.

“ Hey Mel, who are you speaking to ”. She asked with curiosity laced in her tone.

I'm sure Duncan heard it because all of a sudden his tone changed from playful to serious.

“ You are not alone ” he stated more than asked but I answered hm anyway.

“ No I'm with Penelope be ”. I answered him.

“ Okay. It's late good night. I'll see you tomorrow ”. He said and hanged up without waiting for a response from me. Well that's weird. I thought to myself.

“ Who was it ”. My inquisitive friend asked.

“ It was our boss ”. I replied her.
