Perfect SCARS

59

It would have been just fine if I had gotten an hotel nearby and crash for the night

But unfortunately just before I could locate the hotel online......
My car broke down
Just like that the engine went off in the middle of the road with no sign before it just died

At first I thought it was just one of the normal probably overheating or something..

Thank God I was on the sideline of the road but regardless because it was a major road I had created my own traffic because the cars on my lane behind me had to drift to the other side of the road

I opened the bonnet check one or two regular things in the car
Water level was just fine
And I have enough fuel

Is this because I had the engine running for hours or because I didn't check thoroughly before... Leaving

Nothing should be wrong with this car because I just brought it less than a month ago.. What sort of thing is this

How did this day turn out to be so unlucky for me
Am out here in the middle of nowhere.. With my car faulty and it really getting late

What do I do now... I can't just leave my car all night with all my stuff in it and I can't stay here either
It's too risky

Who would I call, I don't know any mechanic. .. I don't even know where I am. ... What am i suppose to do now

I took out my phone and dabble on who to call

I can't call Mira..... She'll think I'm fine with her sticky attitude and that's why I keep running back to her..

I can't call Victoria..... She doesn't have a car and I doubt if there is anything she can do about it

I cant call Julie ...... that's inappropriate..

Maybe I should just call Simon... This is so embarrassing. I just hung up on him and now I'm so desperate to call anybody and he seem to be the right person to bother

If this had been back in Los Angeles, one phone call through to Peters and she'll handle the rest
And the next thing I will be hearing is when my car will be arriving after the mechanic services

AND as karma would have it... Simon didn't pick my call... It rang endlessly several times... Just while I was thinking of a way out and about to dial Mr Ibrahim's number
A car pulled over in front of mine  but I didn't exactly notice it until the driver approached me

"Hello madam, "

"Hello to you too. Are you a mechanic "

"No..  Am not,,,, Erm Miss ..... My boss is in the car and he wants to talk to you "

"Tell your high and mighty boss that I'm going to be here... If he has something to say he should come here and say it "

"Actually he is someone you know "

"Ain't You someone I don't know... Why don't you tell the person that is not a stranger to come here and talk to me directly instead of sending someone I don't know at all "

"But madam at least come and see him first "

"Mister are you deaf.. . I just said am not coming, if you keep pestering me.. I'm going to scream that you are a thief so you better get going now "

I turned my back against him and focus on my car

I was still trying to detect a fault myself when someone gently tap me on my shoulder..
I was about to scream and hit the person thinking it was the same man

The first thing I notice was his fine  perfume . the other guy wasn't wearing a perfume at least not that I noticed and when I turned his suit was a killer cut   

And then I looked up i ran out of breath

How.... Why is he here

I looked back to see the man who just  told me his boss wants to see me

"Hello "

"Uhhhh hi.  It was you..  Was your driver ... Sent to come    and he came to meet me... Just now "

How did I suddenly move from English to gibberish speaking all of a sudden...
He raised his hand eyebrow in confusion and instead of correcting myself I was smiling like a fool

"Okay.. So what's wrong with your car"

I sighed deeply to relieve my nerves

"It broke down and I don't know what is wrong with it..... And am kind of lost too"

"Yeah... Godwin can You check what's wrong with the car.. If that is OK with you  "

"Of course.. Go ahead Godwin. Am sorry I didn't know you were the one. He didn't even mention your name "

The driver had already started checking the car

"Don't mind him... He can be silly atimes... How did he expect you to know know am the one in the car ''

"Exactly... And you know how it is. You can't just listen to any stranger "

I'm talking too much... I need to stop panicking before he notice. My insides are bubbling

"Oga.... I think the engine has knock down "

"What.... How's that even possible. I just got this car few weeks ago "

"That all it takes.....You know what am going to call my mechanic to check it out but it can't be running today....  "

"Yeah I understand... Thanks "

"So they will toll the car to the workshop and well where are you heading to "

Honestly I don't know.... What am I going to say

"Uhhm actually... A nearby hotel "

"Which of the hotels.... "

"Uhhm somewhere around "

"Why are you staying in an hotel "

"No reason.. Am just too tired "

"Well our house is just by the corner...if You can't go home  "

"No... I don't want to be a bother "

"Am sure Julie wouldn't mind.. It risky to be out here by this time. Can we get going and talk about it in the car"

"Uhmmm... What about my Car"

"Godwin will stay with it... Till the toll car comes.. He will come back in a cab or something "

"So it would just be the two of us in the car "

"Is that a problem.. "

"No I mean... I can put my stuff in your  car "

"what stuff"

I moved to my car and open the boot and begin to drop my boxes... Godwin helped me move my stuff from my car to Philip's SUV

And I kept thinking how's this going to be...
I don't think I want to be in that car with him alone
